Key Takeaways:

*The recent surge in digital assets has stalled due to investor profit-taking and leveraged position liquidations, despite strong underlying sentiment.

*Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs continue to attract healthy inflows, reinforcing long-term bullish fundamentals.

*With Bitcoin dominance slipping and total market cap rising, traders are increasingly eyeing altcoins like ETH and XRP for potential outperformance.

Market Summary:

The Bank of Canada is set to announce its rate decision on July 30, a pivotal event that could significantly The recent crypto market rally has temporarily stalled following a strong, sentiment-driven surge fuelled by investor optimism and robust institutional interest. The pause in momentum appears largely attributable to profit-taking—a common occurrence after sharp upward moves—alongside liquidations in leveraged derivatives markets, which have further pressured short-term gains.

Despite the short-term pullback, the underlying fundamentals supporting the rally remain intact. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs continue to record healthy net inflows, underscoring sustained demand from traditional finance participants and reinforcing confidence in the long-term bullish outlook.

Meanwhile, improved risk sentiment across global markets—fueled in part by easing concerns over former President Trump’s tariff policies—has lifted investor appetite. U.S. equity benchmarks such as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 have climbed to fresh all-time highs, temporarily diverting capital away from the crypto space. Still, the broader bullish tone in risk assets is expected to spill over into digital assets once short-term profit-taking subsides.

Notably, Bitcoin dominance has edged lower even as total crypto market capitalization continues to rise—an indication that altcoins are gaining traction. Traders may look to Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), and other large-cap altcoins for potential outperformance in the next leg of the rally.

Technical Analysis

ETH, H4

Ethereum (ETH) remains within its broader uptrend channel, though bullish momentum has shown signs of stalling after prices reached a recent high of $3,941. The current price action suggests a potential technical correction, with traders eyeing key price gaps on the CME ETH futures chart for signs of support.

The first critical level sits near $3,700—a gap formed during ETH’s previous ascent. A successful defense and rebound from this level would reinforce bullish sentiment and potentially mark the resumption of the upward trend. However, failure to hold this zone could expose ETH to a deeper correction, with a secondary gap awaiting near the $3,500 mark.

Momentum indicators support the possibility of a near-term pullback. The RSI has retraced to mid-level territory, reflecting waning buying pressure, while the MACD has formed a lower high, indicating a slowdown in bullish momentum.

While ETH remains structurally bullish, traders may look for confirmation of support near $3,700 before reentering long positions. A failure to hold could set the stage for a retest of lower support levels before any sustained rally resumes.

Resistance Levels: 4130.00, 4800.00
Support Levels: 3525.00, 3080.00
