Renowned trader closes all crypto short positions, resumes buying Bitcoin spot

2026.07.19 15:38:03

Renowned crypto trader Doctor Profit announced in a post that he has closed all his cryptocurrency short positions, including Bitcoin shorts established in the $115,000–$125,000 range, another Bitcoin short in the $79,000–$82,000 range, and over 100 altcoin shorts opened in recent months, noting that all these positions have generated significant profits. He also said he has repurchased Bitcoin spot at $64,000, marking his first long-term allocation since September 2025. His plan is to invest 5% of his planned capital daily in spot Bitcoin purchases when the price is in the $54,000–$64,000 range, for up to 20 days total; if the price approaches $54,000, he will increase his buying activity. Doctor Profit pointed out that the current market is showing clear "herd behavior": investors who were previously bullish on Bitcoin up to $150,000 at high levels are now widely waiting for the cryptocurrency to drop to $40,000–$50,000, and are targeting September or October as the bottom of the four-year cycle. When a large number of investors are waiting for the same price level and time point, the market may not move as expected, so he chose to build positions in advance and judges that this cycle’s bottom may arrive earlier than the market’s general expectation. He also cited regulatory clarity, asset tokenization infrastructure, and progress in institutional adoption as the structural reasons for his shift to buying, and retracted his previous prediction that Bitcoin would fall to $40,000–$50,000. However, he still holds all his S&P 500 short positions, arguing that the crypto market has completed a large repricing, while U.S. stock valuations remain elevated.

Bitwise sets its 2030 base price target for NEAR at $155, with an extreme scenario potentially reaching $562.

Bitwise has filed the final prospectus for its NEAR spot ETF, while releasing a 39-page NEAR investment report co-authored by Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan. The report outlines multiple price scenarios for NEAR: a base case projection of $155 by 2030, a bull case target of $562, and a bear case of $1.63. It does not shy away from the risk of sharp downside for NEAR’s price. In the bull case, Bitwise compares NEAR to Visa, noting that Visa processed $15.7 trillion in payment volume in 2024 and currently holds a market capitalization of roughly $701 billion, using this as one reference point for NEAR’s future potential value. The report concludes with the product page for Bitwise’s European NEAR ETP.

Analysis: Bitcoin's macro pressure now hinges on oil prices, with US-Iran negotiations on the Strait of Hormuz being the key factor.

Bitfinex published a graphic analysis noting that Bitcoin’s current macro headwinds are primarily transmitted via oil prices, with oil’s trajectory hinging on the progress of U.S.-Iran negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz. Last week’s breakthrough in the talks pushed crude prices down, easing inflationary pressure and in turn lessening the strain on risk assets from a stronger U.S. dollar and elevated U.S. Treasury yields. If negotiations stall, crude oil prices could rebound, intensifying market pressure through inflation, U.S. dollar, and bond yield channels. Thus, the current market needs to focus not only on Federal Reserve policy but also closely track developments in U.S.-Iran talks.
