Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr stated that the Fed should be prepared to raise interest rates if inflation does not decline.He warned that the inflation rate has remained above target for more than 5 years, and there is a risk of entrenched price pressures. Barr indicated that if upcoming data shows inflation is cooling, policymakers can afford to be patient.In a speech at an event in Washington on Tuesday, Barr said, "If the data trends give me confidence that inflation is easing and moving toward the 2% target, then I think we can take a little more time to assess the policy stance. But if inflation does not appear to be cooling sufficiently, then I think we should take decisive action to raise interest rates."

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on the X platform that the inflow of XRP whale funds on the Binance platform has recently seen a significant decline, dropping to the lowest level since 2021 based on a 3-month average.Data shows that the current inflow of XRP whales to Binance is approximately $61 million, a substantial decrease compared to previous levels. In contrast, this metric reached $456 million in January 2025 and $355 million in October 2025, with the current level being about 6 to 8 times lower than before.Although XRP has been struggling to maintain the critical $1 price level recently, the inflow behavior of whale funds that previously preferred to conduct large transactions through Binance is decreasing. However, the net inflow of XRP remains positive at around $18.8 million, indicating that inflow funds still temporarily dominate.Darkfost pointed out that this trend is similar across the entire crypto market, with overall trading volume and fund inflows declining, which may reflect that selling pressure is easing, but new demand in the market has not yet shown a significant rebound. The cooling of whale trading activity is a positive signal for XRP, but it is still insufficient to confirm that the market has reversed, and it is too early to determine if XRP is starting a new upward trend.

Today, Bitget CFD Chief Analyst Lewis Huang pointed out in an online live broadcast themed "Cooling Interest Rate Hike Expectations: Technical Analysis Takes Over Trends" that the current global financial market is at a critical juncture of alternating macro narratives and market trends. He emphasized that with the recent overall economic data being released, market concerns about the Federal Reserve maintaining an aggressive interest rate hike path have significantly cooled. Against the backdrop of weakening macro fundamental pressures, capital is seeking new directions, and market logic will gradually shift from "news-driven" to "technical-driven."Regarding the current market landscape, Lewis Huang stated that when macro expectations become consistent or stable, "technical analysis will reflect all market information." In the practical analysis segment of the live broadcast, he deeply dissected the latest chart structures of gold, U.S. stocks, and popular stock indices. He pointed out that due to the retreat of interest rate hike risks, non-yielding assets (such as gold) and risk assets (such as stock indices) are showing clearer technical boundaries. He suggested that CFD traders should temporarily reduce their reliance on macro data speculation at this stage and shift their trading focus to price action itself, leveraging key support and resistance levels and trend indicators to flexibly capture trading opportunities in swings and trends under changing market sentiments.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Strategy recently sold 3,588 BTC, marking the largest recorded Bitcoin sale to date, with the funds used for preferred stock payments and to replenish USD reserves.According to the Form 8-K document he cited, the sale was executed in two batches: from June 29 to June 30, 1,363 BTC were sold at an average price of $59,256, generating $80.8 million; from July 1 to July 5, 2,225 BTC were sold at an average price of $60,773, generating $135.2 million, for a total revenue of $216 million. The funds were used for preferred stock payments and to replenish USD reserves.Axel indicated that this sale differs from the sales made in 2022 for tax optimization, as it is primarily driven by debt obligations and does not represent a change in Strategy's long-term Bitcoin strategy. As of July 5, Strategy still holds 843,775 BTC and $2.55 billion in reserves, with this sale accounting for approximately 0.4% of its Bitcoin reserves.He also pointed out that after the announcement, the Bitcoin futures market positions significantly cooled down, with the Composite Market Index (IMI) dropping from about 80 to 32.6, briefly approaching 20, entering a bearish range; however, Bitcoin prices have largely remained in the range of $61,600 to $64,200, still above the 30-day fair value of $61,800. Analysts believe that the market currently views this sale as passive liquidity management rather than the beginning of a systematic reduction.
