Quick Take
  • A fresh round of Bitcoin selling by Strategy added to the pressure, dragging the largest coin and the wider market lower.
  • The S&P 500 closed up 0.72% on July 6 at 7,537, pulling some risk money out of crypto and into stocks.
  • As a result, the total crypto market cap lost the $2.17 trillion mark, the 0.618 Fibonacci level.
  • A close back above $2.17 trillion, then $2.22 trillion, would rebuild strength toward $2.29 trillion.

What Happened

Critical Level: $2.17 trillion (0.618 Fib) flipped to resistance

Meanwhile, the second weight came from Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy. The firm sold about 3,588 BTC for roughly $216 million between June 29 and July 5, its largest sale since 2022, to fund dividend payments.

Market Context

The crypto market slipped more than 1% on July 7, pushing the total crypto market cap back below $2.17 trillion as capital rotated toward a rising US stock market.

A fresh round of Bitcoin selling by Strategy added to the pressure, dragging the largest coin and the wider market lower.

1. Money Rotates Into a Rising Stock Market

As a result, the total crypto market cap lost the $2.17 trillion mark, the 0.618 Fibonacci level. It now caps price as resistance. A close back above $2.17 trillion, then $2.22 trillion, would rebuild strength toward $2.29 trillion. If selling continues, $2.14 trillion is the first floor, then $2.10 trillion.

2. Strategy’s Bitcoin Sale Drags the Market Down

Bitcoin (BTC) held up at first, then weakened, falling about 1.3% to near $63,140. Since Bitcoin still makes up a large share of the market, its slip pulled the rest down with it.

Still, the move looks more like a sentiment knock than heavy selling, because sell volume has not spiked. Bitcoin needs to reclaim $64,688 and then $65,589 to regain strength. If it loses $62,855, $60,805 comes into view.

Downside Watch: Below $62,855 opens $60,805, though sell volume stays low

MemeCore (M) led the losers, down more than 13% over 24 hours and trading near $1.18. The token sits at a decision point, fighting to hold the $1.18 mark, its 0.236 Fibonacci level.

However, the damage may be capped, since sell volume is lighter than on July 3. If $1.18 holds, a push above $1.84 would turn the trend bullish, while a break sends M toward $0.78 and then $0.45.
