💡Coin Insights (7/17 -7/23)

1. The U.S. dollar index shows signs of weakness. In the short term, it is moving downwards, and the chances of it going back up are slim.
2. Two important measures of U.S. stocks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite Index, keep reaching new record levels, which is a good sign.
3. On Wednesday (7/26), the U.S. Federal Reserve will decide on interest rates. We are in the final stage of raising interest rates, so no matter what they decide, we are getting closer to a favorable situation. This is like a sure thing that's already happening.
4. Medium-term plan: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) are doing well and are expected to continue to increase in value over the medium term. Hold onto these and consider buying more if prices are near various support levels.
5. Short-term plan: After a big jump on June 19, Bitcoin's price is going through a normal period of ups and downs. It's absorbing some people selling to take their profits, and waiting for average prices to move up and form a base for a new surge. If Bitcoin's price doesn't drop below its support level in the short term, there's a good chance it will bounce back.
6. Another short-term plan: If you are cautious, buy Bitcoin in stages. If you are confident, you can buy both Ethereum and Bitcoin, as Ethereum looks technically better than Bitcoin right now. If you're willing to take a risk, buy Ripple (XRP) in low amounts during the second half of the week.
7. The short-term support level for Ethereum (ETH) is approximately around 1820

8. The short-term support level for Bitcoin (BTC) is close to 29,000

9. The short-term support for Ripple (XRP) is at 0.68 and 0.63. When the price is close to these levels, you could take advantage of very short-term price increases.

🌟 What to Expect

1. (07/25/2023 - 07/26/2023)
• At a meeting in June, The Federal Reserve stopped increasing interest rates after doing it ten times. Now, in a meeting in July, they will likely start raising rates again. People who work with money think that the central bank will probably raise the interest rate a little bit on July 26. If this happens, it will bring the target range for a special rate, known as the federal funds rate, to somewhere between 5.25% and 5.5%. This will be the highest in almost 22 years. The Federal Reserve seems to be doing a good job at slowing down the U.S. economy without causing it to go into recession. They are lowering inflation while avoiding a downturn.
2. (08/03/2023)
• On August 3, Litecoin will be a "halving". This means the reward for adding new transactions to the Litecoin network will be cut from 12.5 to 6.25. The last two times this happened, in 2015 and 2019, the value of Litecoin went up by 810% and 543% respectively. Now, in 2023, the value has already gone up by 126%. If we make a conservative guess that each halving makes the value go up by half as much as the last one, there is still room for the value to go up by another 271%.
