July 15, 2025 | 02:24Despite delays, Bitcoin’s bullish trend channel suggests rising price targets, with potential upper limits now projected at $169,000 to $197,000 by August 11, contingent on global stability. Analysts note that the Stoch RSI crossover on the monthly chart historically precedes explosive rallies, hinting at a major surge not just for BTC but the broader crypto market. Altcoins and memecoins continue to dominate 2024’s narrative, with an alt season peak expected in late 2025 to early 2026, followed by a new NFT season in 2026. The cycle underscores Bitcoin’s role as a market bellwether, though analysts caution responsible investment given the speculative nature of crypto markets.

Bitcoin Ordinals Trading Hits 5-Month High at $11.5M
Bitcoin Ordinals recorded $11.5 million in daily sales on July 14—the highest since December 2024—with 8,000+ unique buyers outpacing sellers by the widest margin in five months. While weekly volumes rose 116% to $25.8 million, monthly trends show a slump from February’s $100M+ peaks. ‘Uncategorized Ordinals’ dominated 24-hour trading ($8.27M, +1,051%), reflecting fragmented liquidity across micro-cap collections. Despite higher average sale values (+40% in July), current transaction rates suggest July’s total may fall short of $100M, potentially landing near $86M. The market lacks a dominant collection, with top projects like Bitcoin Puppets capturing just 7.6% of daily volume.

Despite Bitcoin’s historical lack of large deposits on layer 2s, a nascent Bitcoin layer 2 has already amassed over $3 billion worth of BTC, surpassing the TVL of prominent Ethereum layer 2 solutions.
