Odaily News Trader Murphy (@Murphychen888) posted on X, stating that despite multiple bearish factors such as the U.S. stock market pullback, Strategy selling BTC, and rebounding oil prices, BTC has still not shown a significant decline, which may be related to its chip structure. Data shows that over 2 million BTC changed hands in the $62,000-$64,000 range, bringing the cost basis of a large number of holders closer together and reducing their willingness to sell in the short term.Murphy noted that BTC subsequently experienced nearly two months of low-volatility consolidation before rapidly rising from $64,000 to $75,000 within 3 days, but the chips near $63,000 did not decrease significantly, while chips in the $68,000-$74,000 range remained relatively sparse, indicating that holders in the previous concentration zone did not take profits on a large scale. Murphy expects that as the price continues to rise, the chips may gradually loosen and form a new chip density zone; if a new effective support is not formed, BTC may again test the support strength of the $62,000-$63,000 chip density zone.

Odaily News: According to on-chain detective Specter's monitoring, the victim claimed that due to a Coldcard hack, funds were transferred from Bitcoin to Ethereum. However, on-chain data shows that the 73 BTC ($4.6 million) originally came from the Whirlpool coin mixer two weeks ago, with some of it bridged to Ethereum and subsequently deposited through a phishing Tornado Cash interface. Two coin mixers were used during the fund transfer process. The individual was also found to have appeared in Telegram groups involving private key searches and brute-force attacks. On-chain detective Specter stated that the victim may be a threat actor, and their funds may have been stolen by another threat actor.

Odaily News: CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently attempting to reclaim the "Active Supply Cost Basis" level.Darkfost noted that active supply refers to all BTC that has been transferred at least once within the past 7 years. By excluding long-dormant Bitcoin, a more accurate average cost basis that aligns with the current market structure can be obtained, with its Realized Price standing at approximately $70,400.He stated that the last time Bitcoin successfully reclaimed this level was in early April, before the market fell back below this zone again in early June, with sellers reasserting dominance.Darkfost said that if BTC can sustain its position above the active supply cost basis this time, it could signal the market is forming a longer-term uptrend, rather than the brief breakout that lasted only about two months previously.This metric is commonly used by the market to observe changes in long-term holder costs and Bitcoin market cycle status. Whether BTC can firmly hold near the $70,400 level will become a key indicator for future bullish and bearish forces.
Odaily News, Garrett Jin, proxy for the "BTC OG Insider Whale," analyzed that Bitcoin's latest breakout above $70,000 was driven by multiple bullish factors, including the U.S. Treasury's expanded bond buybacks, the SEC's proposed crypto asset regulatory framework, and the White House crypto summit. The current price has entered a dense overhead supply zone ranging from the mid-$60,000s to the low $80,000s, with the first resistance layer already showing signs of weakening.Garrett Jin pointed out that the significant accumulation of new cost basis in the mid-$60,000 area over the past two months has provided underlying support for this breakout. While the short-squeeze triggered by short liquidations could temporarily push Bitcoin above $80,000 in the near term, the $80,000 to $82,500 range is a critical resistance zone to watch, and the short-squeeze momentum is unlikely to persist. If the market can effectively absorb supply below $80,000 before a breakout, it would be more conducive to a healthier subsequent trend.On the same day, SK Hynix announced South Korea's largest-ever stock buyback and cancellation plan, committing to return at least 50% of its projected free cash flow through 2027 to shareholders. Its shares surged over 10% at one point, triggering a buy-side circuit breaker on South Korea's KOSPI index. Analysts believe this move could alleviate market concerns over declining risk appetite for Korean semiconductor stocks, but it cannot alter the cyclical trajectory of the memory chip industry itself.
