Jurrien Timmer, Director of Global Macro at Fidelity Investments, has analyzed that Bitcoin's long-term support level around $60,000 is being tested and a clear trend reversal is unlikely without an influx of global liquidity. U.Today reported on Timmer's analysis, noting that while BTC is approaching its historical trendline, it lacks bullish catalysts in the current macroeconomic environment. According to Timmer, the Power Law model identifies $60,000 as a key psychological and technical juncture, with a support line at $58,237. He pointed out that market bottoms in 2015, 2018, and 2022 formed near this level. However, Timmer cautioned that the premium from past bull markets has been exhausted, and a new wave of global liquidity is needed for BTC to break above its trendline. With slowing global money supply growth and the disappearance of the speculative premium that once drove prices toward $120,000, he believes it is difficult to call an immediate bottom, suggesting a prolonged period of sideways movement could precede any actual reversal.

Gillian Lynch, Binance's Head of Europe, has stated that the success of the region's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation should be judged not by the rules themselves but by how many operators it brings into the regulatory framework. According to CoinDesk, Lynch noted that while Binance withdrew its MiCA license application in Greece last week, she expects the next application process will not take long as the exchange has already undergone a significant part of the regulatory procedure. Regarding a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report that the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) had privately recommended rejecting Binance's application over financial crime compliance issues, Lynch countered that the newspaper misrepresented how the company identified and took action on the problematic accounts. She added that the accounts in question were closed immediately upon discovery and reported to law enforcement agencies. Lynch declined to comment on speculation of political interference in the license review delay but affirmed that Binance is not leaving Europe. She described the current situation as a hurdle and stated that the company will return to the market.

The Spot CVD chart analyzes the order book for the BTC/USDT spot pair. The top section displays a Volume Heatmap, while the bottom shows the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). - The Volume Heatmap at the top tracks trading volume at specific price levels. The background brightens when the price lingers in a range or makes a significant move, with these brighter areas potentially acting as support or resistance. - The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicator at the bottom shows buy and sell orders categorized by size. A rise in a colored line indicates an increase in buy orders for that category. For example, the yellow line represents orders from $100 to $1,000, while the brown line tracks large orders between $1 million and $10 million.

Cryptocurrency trader Ali Martinez has pointed to a TD Sequential buy signal on the Ethereum (ETH) monthly chart, suggesting a major bottom may be forming. Martinez noted on X that the monthly TD Sequential indicator previously identified a sell signal in September 2021 before a 78% drop in ETH, a buy signal in September 2022 preceding a 235% rally, and another buy signal in March 2025 before a 182% increase. He highlighted that the current signal is the first monthly buy signal to appear since March 2025. Given the indicator's historical accuracy, Martinez suggested that selling pressure may be exhausting on a macro level and that the current correction could be part of a process to establish a significant short-term or cycle low.

XRP is establishing higher lows above the $1 mark following last week's sell-off, but it may continue to trade sideways until it breaks above $1.1, according to an analysis by CoinDesk. The outlet noted that during U.S. trading hours, XRP repeatedly defended the $1.08 support level before rising toward $1.10, but failed to overcome resistance at $1.1087. The short-term chart has improved as the price has formed a series of higher lows at $1.0552, $1.0589, and $1.0799. While an increase in trading volume during the ascent confirmed buying pressure, selling continues to emerge at the $1.1087 resistance level. If the $1.08 support is breached, the next support is at $1.0611. Conversely, a decisive move above $1.1087 could open up a path to the $1.12-$1.13 range. However, CoinDesk explained that until XRP firmly establishes itself above the $1.10-$1.12 zone, this period should be seen as consolidation rather than a breakout.

Ethereum restaking protocol Ether.fi has proposed adopting Aave V4 infrastructure on Optimism to enhance the financial backend of its crypto credit card, EtherFi Cash. The proposal suggests replacing the card's current Debt Manager system, which handles credit and lending, with Aave's V4 lending infrastructure, as operating its own engine has become a burden. In exchange for providing the V4 deployment source code and an operating license, Aave would receive 20% of the Reserve Factor Income. The stablecoin GHO will be added as the primary borrowable asset in this market. It could also be integrated for direct payments and deposits on the EtherFi Cash card in the future, subject to the Aave DAO's approval. EtherFi Cash is a physical card that enables Visa payments by allowing users to borrow stablecoins against their deposited interest-bearing assets.

A White House official also told CBS there is no conflict of interest in the matter.
