AI Weekly Hotspot Report (07.11 - 07.18)
Table of Contents:
1. Market Trend
1.1. Market Sentiment
This week, the total market value of cryptocurrencies reached $1.2 trillion, an increase of 3.2% compared to the previous period. Exchange trading volume grew by 1.8%, reaching $120 billion. Bitcoin's price fluctuated around $30,000, with a slight increase in trading volume. The overall market shows a sideways consolidation pattern, and market sentiment is cautiously optimistic. Investors are waiting for new positive news to drive the next wave of market trends.
According to the Gate Fear and Greed Index, today's market sentiment is "Greed," with a fear and greed index of 73. Compared to yesterday, the overall market sentiment remains greedy, but the index has slightly decreased. This indicates that investor sentiment is still optimistic, but enthusiasm has slightly cooled.
1.2. Macroeconomic Impact
Recent data shows that the global economic recovery is slowing down. In June, the US CPI rose by 3.0% year-on-year, in line with expectations, but down from 4.0% in May. The Eurozone's CPI annual rate for June was 2.6%, below the expected 2.8%. The Federal Reserve's June meeting minutes suggest a high likelihood of interest rate cuts in September, with institutions estimating a 95.4% probability of a 25 basis point cut in September.
The Producer Price Index is a leading indicator of inflationary pressures. The US PPI in June rose by 0.1% year-on-year, lower than the expected 0.2%. The Eurozone's PPI annual rate for June was -3.5%, indicating that inflationary pressures are easing. The Purchasing Managers' Index reflects the state of economic activity. The preliminary manufacturing PMI for the US in July was 52.3, and the preliminary services PMI was 52.4, both slightly lower than the previous values. The preliminary composite PMI for the Eurozone in July was 49.4, below the expansion range.
Overall, inflationary pressures have eased somewhat but remain high. Economic activity is slowing down, with insufficient growth momentum in the manufacturing and service sectors. The Federal Reserve is expected to moderately cut interest rates in September to balance inflation and economic growth. The cryptocurrency market may be somewhat affected, and investor sentiment may warm up.
1.3 Financial Calendar
Macroeconomic data is an important basis for assessing the economic operation of a country or region. This week, several highly important economic data will be released, including the Eurozone interest rate decision, US employment, and real estate data, which will have a significant impact on the global financial markets. Investors need to closely monitor changes in this data and adjust their investment strategies in a timely manner based on the published results.
2. Funding and Price Fluctuation Analysis
2.1. Price Fluctuation Analysis
BTC Volatility Based on the daily closing prices of BTC over the past week, the volatility of BTC this week is 0.92%.
Price Fluctuation Analysis This week, the price of BTC has fluctuated in the range of $117,000 to $123,000. The price increase is mainly driven by continuous buying from institutional investors and inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. Conversely, the price drop may be attributed to profit-taking actions by investors.
Trading Volume Impact The changes in trading volume often reflect market activity and sentiment. This week, the average daily trading volume of BTC is about 10 million coins, a decrease compared to last week. The reduction in trading volume may suggest an increase in market wait-and-see sentiment, and prices may oscillate within a range in the short term.
Market Activity and Price Direction The price of BTC is currently in a consolidation phase, but the continuous inflow of funds may lay the foundation for subsequent increases. However, if trading volume and market activity decline further, it may trigger a certain degree of correction. Therefore, closely monitoring trading volume and capital flow is crucial for assessing future market trends.
2.2. Capital flow analysis
According to the latest capital flow data, we can see the inflow and outflow of funds for some major cryptocurrencies. Taking the algorithm coin ALGO as an example, the net inflow of funds reached 138 million USD in the past week, indicating a relatively active capital situation.
FET coin also shows a similar active state, with a net inflow of funds reaching as high as 96.6 million USD in the past week. This may indicate an increase in investor demand for FET coin, and prices may rise in the future.
Virtual Currency VIRTUAL showed a slightly weak performance last week, with a net outflow of funds amounting to 44.8 million USD. This may indicate that investors are withdrawing their positions and lack confidence in the coin's prospects.
Overall, the capital flow situation of different cryptocurrencies indicates that investors have varying degrees of optimism towards different coins. Investors need to closely monitor changes in the capital landscape to grasp the pulse of the market.
2.3. Smart Money Analysis
The flow of smart money often predicts market trends. According to the latest data, the large order trading volumes of BTC and ETH show different trends.
Large BTC Outflow The recent large outflows of BTC have significantly increased, indicating that institutional investors are gradually reducing their positions. This may suggest that the upward momentum of BTC is weakening, and it could face some selling pressure in the future.
ETH large order inflow At the same time, the inflow of large orders for ETH continues to increase, indicating that institutional funds are increasing their positions in ETH. This could bring more upward momentum to ETH, and the upward trend may continue in the future.
Predicting Trends Overall, smart money is flowing from BTC to ETH, which may indicate that the upward momentum of BTC will slow down, while the upward trend of ETH may continue. However, the market is volatile, and investors should remain cautious.

Dogecoin becomes the new darling of institutional investors, Origin's $500 million fund ignites the crypto world.
BitOrigin Company launches a $500 million Dogecoin fund, causing market upheaval.
Bit Origin Ltd ( NASDAQ: BTOG ) announced an ambitious plan on July 17 to launch a $500 million Dogecoin ( DOGE ) fund. The company has secured up to $500 million in funding for long-term holding of DOGE to enhance asset value by increasing the amount of currency held per share. The first $15 million has been raised through convertible bond financing for initial DOGE purchases.
The consequences of this strategy may include a significant change in the perception of DOGE within institutional portfolios. This move marks the first company listed on Nasdaq to participate in DOGE as a fund asset, potentially signaling a diversification of strategies beyond traditional assets.
"Bit Origin Limited has secured up to $500 million in funding to launch the Dogecoin Reserve Fund." - Mr. Jiang Jinghai, Chairman of the Board, CEO, and General Manager of Bit Origin Limited

Trading volume surged by 96.39%, reaching $3.72 billion, indicating that market interest is on the rise.
"Today's retail data shows strong performance, indicating that the US economy remains resilient, and it's hard to see signs of a slowdown in the short term after the watering down." - Phyrex Ni (@Phyrex_Ni), crypto analyst
The research team noted that Origin's scale and presence on Nasdaq may be subject to stricter oversight. However, the shift of funds to DOGE could set a new standard in the company's cryptocurrency strategy.
The integration of ecosystems related to DOGE projects may further influence technological advancements in blockchain applications.
"Bit Origin Limited has secured up to $500 million in funding to launch the Dogecoin Reserve Fund." - Mr. Jiang Jinghai, Chairman of the Board, CEO, and General Manager of Bit Origin Limited.
