Crypto Market Analysis: Daily Bitcoin, Ethereum & DeFi Updates podcast.

Hey blockchain buddies, it’s your pal Crypto Willy, coming at you with the all-new crypto roundup for the final week of July 2025. Buckle in — there’s action all around the charts, from Bitcoin’s wild dance to DeFi’s latest drama and some spicy Ethereum developments!

Let’s kick it off with the king: **Bitcoin**. After that fever-pitch all-time high (ATH) earlier this month, where we brushed up near $122,000, we’ve seen the heat cool just a little. Friday’s price was chilling around $115,600, with Coin Edition noting a short-term bearish streak showing up, especially after the chart smacked up against $120,300 and got soundly rejected. But beneath the hood, there's plenty of life—volume’s up 20% on the week, per CoinDCX, so you know traders like you and me are playing the swings.

Analysts at Changelly and Paul Howard of Wincent are eyeing that upper $119k resistance; break it, and we could be back sniffing at the elusive $125,000–$128,000 band before August cools the jets. But don’t think this is all fire emojis—if Bitcoin slumps under $113,500, with that bearish MACD lurking, we could slip to $111,000 before fresh hands step in.

Helping (or hurting?) the narrative, last Thursday saw a mega $144 million in BTC positions liquidated. Over $128 million of that was long bets. Ouch. The liquidations haven’t rattled the market much, though: the Fear & Greed Index is stuck on Greed, at 70 out of 100. Traders clearly still have FOMO, especially with the Fed teasing a possible rate cut come July 31. Y’all know how loose money likes to chase Bitcoin.

On to **Ethereum**—ETH is riding steady, still locked in a range between $6,050 and $6,390 after missing a breakout. DeFi’s relentless experiments have kept gas fees spiky, thanks to major activity around EigenLayer (the restaking protocol) and revived lending on Aave v4 and the Lido DAO. The chatter at ethCC Paris last week was nothing short of electric, with developers cross-pollinating between protocols at full speed.

DeFi’s total value locked (TVL) is pushing past $120 billion, a new twelve-month high, with new projects like Pendle and Friend.tech making waves. If you tuned into the Solana ETF news, it’s still the talk of the town among crypto suits at the Goldman Sachs Digital Asset Conference. Institutional FOMO is shifting focus to DeFi and not just ETFs. The next week could see even more fire, especially if space giants like SpaceX or Square double down on new ETH projects.

So what are the big takeaways? Bitcoin remains the main taste-maker. If $118k flips support, short-term bulls might party at $120,300 and beyond. But the bears are lurking, so set your stops tight, folks. Ethereum and DeFi—well, they’re attracting both traditional finance and degens alike, and if July’s positive momentum holds, early August could bring some hot green candles.

That’s it for this week’s rundown! Thanks for tuning in to Crypto Willy—your best friend in the blippy, brilliant world of crypto. For even sharper alpha, swing by next week.
