Coinbase Defi Oracle Spilled Norway Beating Brazil Pre Kickoff πŸ–€βš°οΈ

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed the exchange probes an AI glitch that fired off eerie breaking news alerts claiming Norway snatched a 3-2 victory over Brazil in the FIFA World Cup well before kickoff.
The alert even credited Manchester City forward Erling Haaland with a brace that propelled the Vikings forward.
Yet the prediction platform page noted weather delays while Norway later prevailed with a fresh scoreline and Haaland netting twice anyway.

AI Glitch Sparks Alarm In Prediction Markets πŸ•·οΈ

Relay Digital managing partner Jay Drain Jr first flagged the chaos by sharing a post on X noting how the Coinbase AI was hallucinating results for a World Cup game that has not even been played yet.

It is awesome to see the power of AI-enabled 24/7 insights for trading but obviously still need to tune it to address these types of issues.
And hey it turns out Norway did win and Haaland did score 2 goals so maybe the AI knew something we did not.

Trader Bleeds Millions On World Cup Wagers πŸ¦‡

World Cup fever pushed trading volumes on leading prediction markets from around $65 million in early June to a high of $5.6 billion toward the end of that month.

Those Crashed Alts Down 80-90% Might Eclipse Bitcoin πŸ–€πŸ•ΈοΈ

Crypto analyst Credible Crypto thinks plenty of battered altcoins could hand out sweeter risk-reward plays than Bitcoin at these levels.

According to him projects sitting 80% to 90% under their peaks might print massive gains once the tide flips.

Building Bases While Eyes Turn to Alts πŸ–€

Chatting on the July 5 NinjaTrader podcast Credible Crypto said Bitcoin has been sliding on the higher time frame since its $126,000 top back in October last year. Still he sees this dip playing out inside a key support zone instead of cracking the bigger bull run.

The analyst highlighted Bitcoin’s 2024 range between $50,000 and $75,000 noting price has looped back to a zone where buyers stacked up before. As long as it stays above $50,000 he sees this area turning into fresh ground for another leg higher.

He also dropped on-chain tea showing nearly 80% of Bitcoin supply now held by long-term holders the highest ever recorded. Those holders historically kept scooping dips rather than dumping so they slowly soak up coins until prices bounce back.

That view pushed the trader to shift almost all his stack into altcoins after he loaded Bitcoin from $3,000 and stepped off near the $100,000 zone. He reckons Bitcoin could still grind from around $60,000 up toward $250,000 over time yet many alts already sit 80% to 90% off highs which hands them way more upside once vibes improve.

β€œAt this point I think the better bet is on altcoins that are now basically where Bitcoin was when Bitcoin was trading at $3K or $6K or even $15K” he explained. β€œMany alts are now down 80 to 90% from their highs. Just as that was the best time to buy Bitcoin I think that’s now the best time to buy alts.”

Picking Gems Carefully in This Bullish Vibe πŸŒ‘

Even with his optimistic take on alts Credible stressed not every token deserves a comeback. In his eyes most coins out there carry zero real value so he warned against thinking every chart will just revisit old highs because prices are lower.

Instead he tells folks to zero in on projects with actual products active users and solid business models.

β€œI’m not saying that every single altcoin in the entire market is going to have a massive run because that’s just not realistic” he clarified. β€œWe have now hundreds of thousands of coins in the market and I would say 85-90% of them do absolutely nothing and should not really be existing at this point in time.”

In his take the top 5 or 10% could still deliver 3x or 4x from here in weeks when the moment hits even if they skip their old peaks. Meanwhile Bitcoin needing the same multiplier to reach $250,000 might stretch across months or years. πŸ•·οΈ

Ethereum's Next Curve: 1.5K Or 2K Ahead? πŸ–€πŸŒ™

Ethereum’s Next Curve: 1.5K Or 2K Ahead? πŸ–€πŸŒ™

Ethereum is clawing back from the $1.5K defense yet again, though the larger pattern still whispers pressure. The price edges toward a heavy confluence resistance zone that could spark a true reversal or just fuel another fleeting relief bounce inside the downtrend.

Daily Chart Shadows πŸ–€

Bearish structure dominates the daily view with ETH trapped below the descending long term trendline plus both the 100 day and 200 day moving averages that keep sloping lower. Sellers keep a firm grip from this wider angle.

After plunging to the $1.5K support buyers sparked a bounce toward the $1.8K resistance that now aligns with former horizontal support flipped into supply sitting just under the channel trendline.
A clean daily close above that trendline together with the $1.8K pocket would mark the first real technical shift and open the path to the next cluster around $2K to $2.2K where fresh supply and averages cluster. Missing the reclaim here would likely cement the bearish frame and raise odds of another test at $1.5K with a break below opening the channel floor under $1.2K.

4 Hour Rebound Whispers πŸŒ‘

The 4 hour frame shows a sharper short term recovery after the second hold at the $1.5K demand zone. Price has climbed back to the upper edge of the pattern that has held it since early June.

ETH now tests the $1.75K to $1.8K resistance while also meeting the descending trendline making this zone critical for near term direction. A confirmed break above both would break the string of lower highs and speed momentum toward the $2K to $2.2K supply visible on the daily. Rejection instead would keep the bearish setup intact with initial support near $1.7K then $1.6K while the key demand stays at $1.5K.
Momentum has lifted nicely on this advance and the RSI climbs into overbought ground reflecting stronger buys yet hinting bulls may need a pause before any decisive push.

On Chain Conviction Glow πŸ•―οΈ

Exchange reserves paint one of the brighter longer term signals for Ethereum with balances dropping from above 21M ETH down to roughly 15.5M ETH in a steady multi year drain of coins held on centralized platforms.

This steady outflow signals ongoing moves into self custody or long term holds shrinking ready supply for sale and often shows rising investor belief that supports demand over time. Even through the extended correction from 2025 highs reserves kept falling instead of rising which suggests long term holders avoided heavy distribution into weakness. While on chain metrics alone do not promise an instant rally the continued drawdown in exchange holdings points to lighter spot selling pressure from holders. Should ETH reclaim the key technical resistance near $2K and draw fresh demand this tightening supply could act as a solid tailwind for a stronger medium term recovery.

Bitcoin Spurned at 64K as Pi’s Token Nears Fresh Lows πŸ•ΈοΈπŸŒ’

Bitcoin’s price jumped to $64000 earlier today for the first time in roughly two weeks but got pushed back and now lingers over a grand lower. Most larger cap alts stayed mostly flat on a daily scale. Pi Network’s PI token keeps dancing near its all time low and might sketch a fresh one soon.

Bitcoin Stumbles Hard At 64000 πŸ–€

June turned savage for the main coin after its mid May crash from $83000. The month wrapped with a brutal 20% drop the worst in four years. July kicked off with another slide below $58000 the first since October 2024 yet the bulls crept back and clawed BTC higher in quiet steps. It slid past $60000 and kept rising through the weekend until it brushed $64000 this morning only to get rejected again. Now it rests under $63000 after shedding more than a grand its market cap hovering just under $1260 trillion while dominance clings above 56%.

Pi Network Edges Toward Fresh Lows πŸŒ‘

Bigger altcoins barely twitched while ETH BNB SOL XRP and TRX inched up at most 1% and ZEC along with ADA slipped 2%. HYPE and XLM led with 2.5% and 3.6% gains but RAIN tumbled 3%. DEXE and LIT surged double digits among smaller names pushing LIT into the top 100. Meanwhile PI keeps bleeding and sits barely 1% from its late June bottom well under $0.115.

Bitcoin Climbs To A Fresh Apex Yet Greater Trials Lie Ahead πŸ•·οΈπŸ–€

Bitcoin clawed its way back above 64000 for the first time in nearly two weeks amid a steady recovery that started early last month. πŸ–€ Analysts now eye stronger resistance zones ahead as sentiment shifts from pure dread.

What’s Next? πŸŒ‘

Just days earlier on July 1 the top coin had slipped beneath 58000 for the first time in almost two years while bears kept the pressure on. Yet after shedding roughly 25000 in six weeks the bulls stepped in and steadied the drop. Bitcoin climbed through the following sessions and touched 64000 across exchanges this morning, marking its strongest print since June 23.
MichaΓ«l van de Poppe called the weekend moves solid price action and believes the asset must form a higher low next. He noted even a dip toward 59000 would still count as relatively mild provided 61000 to 61500 holds and paves the way toward 70000.
Merlijn The Trader flagged 67000 as the decisive line that could end the bear phase if reclaimed with conviction.

Fear and Greed Index Improves πŸ•·οΈ

The fear-and-greed gauge plunged alongside price and printed extreme fear near 11 when Bitcoin bottomed at 57700 on July 1. It has since clawed back to 24 as the gradual rebound gathers pace, the first time the reading has sat at or above that level in over a month.

Sussing Out XRP's Next Cryptic Targets After That 8% Weekly Pop πŸ•·οΈπŸ–€

Sussing Out XRP’s Next Cryptic Targets After That 8% Weekly Pop πŸ•·οΈπŸ–€

XRP has clawed back from the recent gloom near support, confirming that bullish divergence was no fluke.

Daily Chart Whispers From The Shadows πŸŒ‘

Price still lingers inside a long descending channel, stuck below key moving averages and the upper line. Recent action however shows real momentum building after lower lows paired with higher RSI readings. The rebound from the 1.02-1.06 zone pushed XRP straight toward supply between 1.17 and 1.24 where sellers once ruled.

RSI crossed above center line giving extra fuel for any upside continuation yet the larger structure stays cautious until price reclaims the channel top.

4-Hour Tension At The Trendline πŸ•―οΈ

On shorter timeframes XRP broke free from the tight 1.02-1.06 range with force and now presses directly into descending resistance from mid June. A clean break here could unlock the 1.21-1.29 supply area while failure risks a slide back toward that same demand pocket.

Bulls hold the short term edge as long as the 1.02-1.06 floor stays intact but any decisive move above the trendline will decide if this recovery turns into something deeper.

XRP Drained 22% Last Month Yet Cycles Whisper Of A Wicked July Pump πŸ•·οΈπŸ–€

XRP took quite the eerie plunge amid all that market gloom last June, crashing down to a chilling multi-year low around $1.00. Yet this eerie support held firm against the bearish shadows, letting the asset claw back up with eerie speed. All eyes turn to July now, a month XRP has owned in spooky style these past four years with those double-digit surges. So what fresh shadows or treats await in July 2026?

June’s Gloom Meets July’s Twisted Promise πŸ–€

Data from Cryptorank showed XRP closing June down a hefty 22.1%. The dip hit $1.01 on most platforms during the crypto FUD waves, Middle East tensions, and darker vibes, marking its lowest print since late 2024 and knocking it from the top 5 by market cap. It has clawed back to $1.15 by now, still trailing behind USDC, BNB, USDT, ETH, and BTC, though the bulls eye July’s track record with hungry delight. Every one of the last six Julys closed green, and five delivered those sweet double-digit pops. July 2020 and 2023 led the dark charge with 48.1% and 47.6% runs, while last year added a wicked 35% lift on top of the prior 31.2% move. The gentler ones landed at 14.6% in 2022 and 6.91% in 2021. XRP already opened the 2026 July chapter with a 9% gain, yet the five Julys from 2015-2019 all sank red, leaving the next path an open mystery.

Quarterly Shadows and the Next Turn πŸ•ΈοΈ

That 22.1% June slide pulled Q2 down 22.4% too, marking the third red quarter in a row with heavy losses each time: 35.4% in Q4 2025, 27.1% in Q1 2026, and now 22.4% in Q2 2026. Ripple bulls can still cling to the pattern where XRP has posted strong rebounds after prior negative runs. The coming months will reveal if the cycle spins the same way or if deeper losses lurk ahead. reported details here

Bitcoin’s Brutal Streak Leaves Us Wondering What’s Brewing for July πŸ¦‡πŸŒ‘

June has been a total nightmare for bitcoin with the asset closing four out of six months deep in the red. The pain peaked last month when prices hit a brutal four-year low.

Yet history whispers that july often flips the script for $BTC and this one kicked off with some sneaky optimism. The real question lingers on whether the momentum can hold once the calendar keeps turning.

Red June Flips To Green July? πŸ–€

May marked the turning point when bitcoin sliced above 82000 sparking wild chatter about a fresh bull run finally igniting. That tease collapsed fast and the sell pressure only intensified into june sending prices crashing below 70000 and even touching under 60000 for the first time since late 2024.

After shedding roughly 25000 in mere weeks bitcoin clawed back a sliver of ground by month-end yet still posted a stinging 20.5 percent decline marking the worst june in four years.

The data shows july has delivered gains in nine of the past thirteen cycles and every single time a red june was followed by green.

Key Drivers For A July Rebound 🌹

Bitcoin opened july on solid footing by tapping 63000 this weekend but several pieces must align to keep the vibe alive. Spot bitcoin etf outflows need to ease after hitting fresh records that have dragged the price for months here.

On-chain metrics also reveal absent real buying from US and Korean wallets via the coinbase premium gauge. Broader calm in the middle east plus clarity on US midterms could add fuel while bitcoin has already flashed bullish signals above 60000 with eyes on the next leg higher here.

Rekt capital noted bitcoin may test turning the 50-month ema near 65000 into fresh resistance.
