Analysis: Multiple indicators signal a bottoming out, with some analysts predicting Bitcoin could restart its bull market between September and October.

1 hours ago

Although Bitcoin recently pulled back to around $62,000 amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, some market analysts believe this bear market could end between September and October this year, with the bull market expected to start earlier than the market’s general consensus. Trader Ryker noted that while the market generally expects the next bull run to begin in 2027, market makers typically position themselves in advance, so he predicts Bitcoin will start rallying in September or October this year. Trader Jelle pointed out that Bitcoin’s weekly chart has formed a "death cross"—a signal that historically occurs at the end of bear markets, suggesting the market may have entered a new accumulation phase. However, in the short term, Bitcoin still faces pressure. Analysts say $64,000 remains a key resistance level; if it fails to break through, a further pullback to around $57,800 is possible. Additionally, this week the market will get U.S. June CPI and PPI data, as well as testimony from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh before Congress. Meanwhile, escalating U.S.-Iran tensions and instability in the Strait of Hormuz have boosted oil prices and inflation expectations, which may continue to roil risk assets including crypto assets. On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows that mid-sized Bitcoin addresses holding 100 to 1,000 BTC net sold approximately 67,000 BTC on July 13, marking the largest such distribution since February this year. However, the firm noted that similar distribution activity historically occurs just before price rebounds. While the current signal is not enough to confirm a market bottom, it is approaching the historical range where a major shift in mid-sized investor behavior typically takes place.

US media: Trump's so-called "standing retaliation order against Iran" cannot take effect automatically after his death.

According to the Associated Press, in response to recent remarks by former U.S. President Donald Trump that he has ordered the U.S. military to launch large-scale strikes on Iran if he is assassinated by Tehran, there is no so-called "dead man’s switch" mechanism in U.S. law that automatically triggers military retaliation upon the president’s death. Under the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act, if the president dies, Vice President JD Vance will immediately assume the presidency and the role of commander-in-chief, with military command authority transferring simultaneously. The successor president will independently decide whether to execute, modify, or cancel the relevant orders of the predecessor. Experts note that while the U.S. has established government continuity and nuclear contingency plans, it has never allowed the military to automatically launch retaliatory actions based on preset orders after the president’s death.

Bitmine increased its holdings of 27,801 ETH last week, pushing its total staked amount to 4.917 million ETH, with projected annual staking revenue of $242 million.

Bitmine announced it purchased an additional 27,801 ETH over the past week, and will maintain its steady accumulation pace that has been in place since 2026. The company expects to achieve its so-called "Alchemy of 5%" target this year. As of July 12, Bitmine holds a total of 5.77 million ETH, of which 4.917 million ETH (accounting for 85% of its holdings) has been staked. At an ETH price of $1,820, the total value of its ETH holdings is approximately $9 billion. Based on an annual staking yield of 2.70%, the company’s annual staking revenue is around $242 million; if all its ETH is staked, annual staking rewards would reach $284 million. Additionally, Bitmine said it launched MAVAN (Made in American Validator Network), an institutional-grade Ethereum staking platform, this year, which will be opened to institutional investors, custodian institutions, and ecosystem partners. Bitmine also noted that it is currently the world’s largest ETH reserve institution, and ranks second globally in terms of crypto asset reserve size, trailing only Strategy, which holds 843,775 BTC. The company further stated that the GENIUS Act and the U.S. SEC’s Project Crypto will drive transformation in digital asset financial infrastructure, an impact comparable to that of the end of the 1971 Bretton Woods system on Wall Street’s modernization.

Tether announced that Hyundai Motor America and Hyundai Motor Mexico have completed an enterprise cross-border settlement proof of concept (POC) on the Avalanche network via Axiym, marking Tether’s first enterprise cross-border fund settlement pilot. During the pilot, Hyundai Motor America converted $20,000 into USDT, transferred the funds cross-border to Hyundai Motor Mexico, which then converted the amount back to USD. The entire cross-border transfer and verification process took an average of just 7 minutes, a notable acceleration compared to traditional bank cross-border remittances, which typically take 3 to 4 hours or longer. Tether noted that the pilot demonstrates stablecoins’ application potential in enterprise cross-border payments, fund management, and global fund allocation. In the next phase, the project will explore additional cross-border payment channels and local currency settlement scenarios, further evaluating stablecoins’ use in enterprise treasury management.
