The post Bitcoin Reclaims 63k but Traders Fear Correction Before Deribit Expiry appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Bitcoin (BTC) reclaimed the $63,000 mark on Thursday, but traders fear a correction ahead of Friday’s $1.4 billion options expiry on Deribit. The concerns stem from the US government bond yield climbing toward a level that many view as a warning sign. Is the $62,000 support level at risk? Key takeaways: Rising US Treasury yields signal debt concerns, negatively pressuring risk assets. Balanced Bitcoin options put-to-call volumes suggest limited downside from the $62,000 level.

The post Bitcoin’s New Debt Machine Is Facing Its First Major Test appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Public companies kept stacking Bitcoin in June, but the month’s real story played out in a corner of the market that did not exist a couple of years ago: the preferred shares that treasury firms now use to fund their coin purchases. A new report from BitcoinTreasuries.net calls June the first true stress test for this “digital credit” market, and the results offer a mixed but telling verdict on where corporate Bitcoin adoption goes next. First, the buying. Public treasuries added close to 9,000 BTC before sales in June, or about 7,300 BTC on a net basis, worth some $427 million at the month-end price of $58,398. That counts as moderate growth, and two names did most of the work. Michael Saylor’s Strategy added 3,625 BTC net, and Strive added 3,364, with each company spending in the neighborhood of $200 million. Strip out those two and the rest of the field bought about 2,000 BTC.
The post Visa breaks higher after completing A-B-C correction, wave five targets new highs appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Visa has delivered a very clean and almost textbook retracement from the 2025 highs. The decline unfolded as a clear three-wave A-B-C correction, reaching the 293–300 support zone, where we were looking for the completion of the pullback and a reaction from the previous gap area. Since then, price has developed a series of higher swing lows and has broken above the corrective channel resistance near 345, providing further confirmation that bullish momentum is returning. This suggests that wave five could now be underway, with the potential to push toward new yearly highs and possibly extend toward the 400 area. VISA Daily Chart In the short term, a temporary pullback would not be surprising. The broken corrective channel could now act as support around 342, while the Elliott Wave Oscillator may retrace toward the zero line, creating a potential setup for the n
The post US Dollar: Tariff passthrough keeps inflation pressure alive – BNY appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
BNY’s Geoff Yu reports that the New York Fed’s latest Liberty Street Economics analysis warns many United States (US) firms still plan tariff-related price increases, implying persistent inflation pressures that matter for the US Dollar (USD) and Federal Reserve (Fed) policy. Nearly half of tariff-paying companies expect further hikes, with gradual pricing and fixed contracts extending adjustment and complicating disinflation. Tariffs extend U.S. inflation timeline “The New York Fed said in its July 8 Liberty Street Economics post that more tariff passthrough still lies ahead for many U.S. firms. Drawing on regional business surveys, the institution reported that nearly half of firms that pay tariffs directly are still planning further price increases, with some expecting to raise prices six months or more from now.” “It said roughly 47% of service firms and 44% of manufactu
