Bitcoin Cash Surges 5%, Chalks Out Bullish Golden Cross Against BTC
BCH has gained over 5% from $491.25 to $516 in 24 hours, with trading volume tripling at one point as over 120,000 BCH changed hands. Prices hit a high of $528 at one point, the level last seen on Dec. 18, according to CoinDesk data.
While a high-volume rally is said to be sustainable, gains are not backed by improvement in onchain fundamentals. According to CoinDesk's AI research, fundamentals for the Bitcoin Cash network recently hit six-year lows in daily active addresses. Per on-chain data, the network is experiencing a "critical demand deficit," suggesting the recent price action is driven more by speculation than actual network usage or adoption.
In the last 24 hours from June 30, 13:00 to July 1, 12:00, BCH exhibited a significant bullish trend, climbing from $491.25 to $519.65, representing a 5.8% gain.
The price range during this period was $37.80 (7.7%), with BCH reaching a peak of $527.37 at 03:00 on July 1 following exceptional volume support.
Key resistance formed around $527 with multiple tests, while support was established at $519-$520, suggesting continued bullish momentum despite the minor pullback.
Over 120,000 BCH changed hands at 01:00—nearly triple the 24-hour average volume, indicating strong buyer interest.
In the last 60 minutes from 1 July 11:30 to 12:29, BCH experienced significant volatility, initially climbing 0.55% from $519.67 to $522.55 by 11:57, before sharply declining 0.71% to close at $518.85.
The Binance-listed bitcoin cash-bitcoin (BCH/BTC) pair, which tracks the ratio between the prices of BCH and BTC, has risen nearly 20% in four weeks, hitting a six-month high of 0.0049, according to data source TradingView.
BCH's outperformance is gathering momentum as evidenced by the bullish golden crossover of the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) crossing above the 200-day SMA.
The pattern indicates that short-term momentum is now outperforming the broader trend, with the potential to evolve into a significant bull market.

Bitcoin Trades Within Descending Channel as CME Gap Gets Filled
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently moving within a descending channel a persistent bearish structure that began on May 22, when it hit a high of $112,000. After reaching this level, the price fell about 10% to around $100,000. It then made a lower high at $110,000 on June 10, which was followed by a roughly 10% correction, taking it slightly below $100,000 during market reactions tied to the U.S.-Iran conflict. As of June 30, bitcoin reached around $109,000 before pulling back about 3%, but has since recovered to nearly $108,000. The recent dips appear to be getting shallower. During the latest dip, there was a CME futures gap around $106,000, which was 'filled' as bitcoin dropped to around $105,000. A CME gap occurs when the Chicago Mercantile Exchange closes for the weekend or overnight and bitcoin's price moves significantly during that time, leaving a price range on the CME chart where no trading took place, which markets often tend to revisit to 'fill' the gap. According to Glassnode data, bitcoin's pullbacks remain relatively shallow and the price is still trading above its 1-month realized price, which represents the average price investors paid over the past 30 days. In the past 24 hours, investors have an average cost basis of $105,600, while the one-week group sits at $106,300. These short-term holder cohorts are still in profit, which supports market momentum, although continued profit-taking could make it more challenging for bitcoin to reach new all-time highs.

Walls Streets cheers as U.S. adds 147,000 jobs
Walls Streets cheers as U.S. adds 147,000 jobs originally appeared on TheStreet. Job growth in the U.S. pleasantly surprised everyone in June, as 147,000 new jobs were added and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%, indicating a robust labor market that might force the Fed to defer its rate cuts to September. The figures, released Thursday by the Labor Department, included a small upward revision for May's job gains to 144,000. The Bitcoin rally may be tempered by stronger labor data and 'too late' rate cuts, currently sitting at $109,000. Though job growth exceeded expectations, economists warn that the pace of hiring, overall, is slowing. Many employers still don't want to convert to layoffs, continuing what began during the Covid labor shortage as labor hoarding, as per Reuters. Job-era growth continues to be positive, but this morning's numbers show a more cautious tone amid tightened financial conditions and political uncertainty. The data comes as the Federal Reserve considers when to resume cutting interest rates. With inflation slowing but running above its target and labor markets remaining solid, markets are now pricing in the possibility that the Fed may not cut rates again until September. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said: "For the FOURTH month in a row, jobs numbers have beat market expectations with nearly 150,000 good jobs created in June. American-born workers have accounted for ALL of the job gains since President Trump took office and wages continue to rise. The economy is BOOMING again and it will only get better when the One, Big Beautiful Bill is passed and implemented!" In the past, U.S. labor data have impacted the effect of Bitcoin price changes due to alterations in Fed rate expectations. Strong Nonfarm Payrolls, have typically strengthened the dollar and bond yields which has typically seen Bitcoin drop in value. Weak payrolls can cause Bitcoin to rally, as seen in October 2023 when BTC prices increased on the same day by potentially 6% as the markets had grouped in rate cuts. The unemployment rate decreased to 4% in January, down from 4.1% the previous month, and Bitcoin soon after broke the $100,000 barrier.

PEPE Climbs 10% as Golden Cross Signals Possible Further Gains in Hot Memecoin Market
The popular frog-themed memecoin PEPE surged 10% in 24 hours to reach $0.00001049, fueled by technical signals that could point to more upside amid a wider memecoin market rise. The token climbed from $0.00000949 to $0.00001049, hitting a peak of $0.00001077 in early trading before retracing slightly. A key technical pattern, a golden cross, where the short-term moving average rises above the long-term average, has formed on PEPE's chart, hinting at sustained bullish momentum. A golden cross is widely watched in trading circles because it suggests that recent buying pressure might carry over into a longer-term rally. Trading volume spiked significantly during the rally, hitting 13.7 trillion tokens in a single hour as the price started lifting, and 7.7 trillion later on, underscoring the intensity of the rally. Meanwhile, the wider memecoin sector, according to the CoinDesk Memecoin Index (CDMEME), rose 11.4% in the last 24 hours. Despite a pullback from the highs, PEPE has established a strong support level near $0.0000101, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data model. Fibonacci extension levels suggest the price could push toward $0.0000110 if the rally holds. The cryptocurrency has outperformed the wider cryptocurrency market over the last 24 hours, as measured by the CoinDesk 20 (CD20) index, which rose 5.92% in the same period.
