Bitcoin Rebounds 12% From Sub-$58K Low but Stalls Near $64K

Bitcoin News　　Bitcoin (BTC) traded near $64,000 on July 16 after veteran chart analyst Peter Brandt flagged a possible bottoming structure, and our reading of the setup is that confirmation remains distant. Brandt suggested the price action could be forming an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern — a three-trough formation in which the middle low sits below the flanking lows and typically signals a reversal only once price clears the neckline. He called the structure “VERY VERY UNCONVENTIONAL” and stressed traders do not yet know whether it will hold. As we read it, Bitcoin has not completed the neckline break, leaving the pattern an early possibility rather than a confirmed signal.　　The rebound itself has been sharp but unfinished. Bitcoin has gained roughly 12% from a swing low beneath $58,000, briefly pushing above $65,400 before retreating toward $64,000. That failure to hold above $65,000 marks the zone as the immediate hurdle bulls must clear to validate a broader recovery. Buyers have not secured a clean breakout, and the stall echoes Brandts more cautious June stance, when Bitcoin sat below its 18-week moving average and outside a rising channel. Our read of the tape is that the $65,000 resistance band now separates a relief bounce

South Korea rate hike puts fresh pressure on crypto risk appetite

South Korea has raised interest rates for the first time since January 2023, shifting monetary policy toward tighter conditions in one of the worlds most active retail crypto markets.　　The Bank of Korea raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points from 2.50% to 2.75% on July 16. All seven members of the Monetary Policy Board supported the decision. The central bank also said further increases may be needed depending on inflation, growth and financial stability conditions.　　Bank of Korea shifts toward tighter monetary policy　　The rate increase was widely expected. A Reuters poll found that 36 of 37 economists expected the central bank to raise its policy rate to 2.75%.　　The Bank of Korea cited stronger exports and investment, persistent inflation and risks to financial stability. June consumer inflation reached 3.2%, while the central bank expects economic growth to exceed its previous 2.6% forecast by a wide margin.　　Governor Hyun Song Shin said developments in growth, inflation and financial stability all supported a rate increase. The bank also said monetary policy may need to remain on a tightening path, with future decisions depending on economic data.　　Higher interest rates generally raise borrowing costs and can reduce demand for speculative assets.

Is Bitcoin Really Headed to $38,000？ NYDIG's October Scenario, Explained

The scenario appeared in the firms second-quarter review, “ Leverage Not Spot Demand Is Driving Bitcoin While Value and Momentum Buyers Wait,” which was published last week.　　The firm was explicit about why the old playbook is back on traders screens, noting:　　“ Bitcoins 2025-2026 drawdown is bringing the 4-year cycle narrative back into focus, because the timing and structure increasingly resemble the prior reset years of 2014, 2018 and 2022 even though the path has not matched those drawdowns exactly.”　　“ Bitcoins 2025-2026 drawdown is bringing the 4-year cycle narrative back

Crypto firms face AML risks during post-MiCA migration, says AMLA chair

Mass user migration following the end of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) transitional period could strain compliance at virtual asset service providers (VASPs) in the European Union, according to Bruna Szego, chair of the Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA).　　“Because we know customers will rush to withdraw, this will put additional pressure on these VASPs,” Szego said during a Wednesday briefing with the European Parliaments Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.　　Szego said firms winding down their EU operations could come under pressure as customers rush to withdraw, while licensed crypto companies could face onboarding challenges as they absorb new users. She urged service providers to maintain efficient compliance procedures throughout the transition.　　MiCAs 18-month transitional period ended on July 1, requiring crypto asset service providers (CASPs) to hold licenses to continue serving EU customers. The European Securities and Markets Authority said crypto service providers that remain unauthorized by the deadline must take “immediate” steps to wind down their EU activities.　　Related: Last-minute MiCA approvals mark end of EU transition period　　AMLA maps next phase of crypto oversight　　Ahead of MiCAs July 1 deadline, AMLA published an advisory note warning crypto firms about money laundering risks arising from the
