Bitcoin’s been flexing so hard this bull market, it’s basically the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson of crypto. And now, long-term holders—those patient, diamond-handed legends—are finally taking profits like they just remembered they have bills to pay. The Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) is skyrocketing faster than my anxiety at a family reunion.

This partnership, a gleam of hope or maybe just a passing whim of fancy, has been brewing since 2021, like an overcooked borscht simmering on a forgotten stove, when Coinbase first whispered sweet nothings to its shareholders. And what’s that? A few days prior to President Trump’s grand signature on the GENIUS Act, the gears of bureaucracy finally chugged into motion. Resources and regulations appearing out of the ether! How delightful! 🙃

According to Chairman Lee—a name that sounds like it belongs in a secret society rather than a CryptoQuant Quicktake post—Bitcoin exchange reserves have been climbing since late June. This, apparently, means people are cashing out faster than you can say “Lambo.” Profit-taking is up, which could spell trouble for BTC in the short term. Or not. Who knows? This is crypto, after all.

Bitcoin [BTC], that restless beast, now slumbers in a consolidation phase, its paws twitching near the $123,000 mark—a place where legends say fortunes are either forged or buried. Accumulation, they whisper, precedes breakout. Or perhaps, a midlife crisis.

OpenAI’s Stargate project—a massive, sprawling AI infrastructure venture backed by the usual suspects: OpenAI, Softbank, Oracle, and MGX—was announced with all the fanfare of a presidential campaign in January 2025. The plan? Spend up to $500 billion over four years building shiny new data centers across the U.S. to tame the AI beast. Sounds like a sci-fi dream, right? Well, buckle up, because recent reports from the Wall Street Journal suggest that the dream might be more of a nightmare.

On Monday, July 21st—or, as future historians may call it, “The Day Before The Million”—DeFi Dev Corp. announced their treasury was brimming with 999,999 SOL. Just one more and they’d unlock… well, probably nothing special, but let’s not spoil the fun. This milestone comes after what can only be described as a shopping spree worthy of someone who just discovered Black Friday sales exist—a cool $19 million spent between July 14th and July 20th at an average price of $133.53 per SOL. And how did they fund such extravagance? Partly through an equity line of credit, because apparently even blockchain billionaires need layaway plans.

Enter Altcoin Daily, our favorite crypto soothsayer, who’s got a hot new batch of predictions just in time for the bull market soirée. First off, hold onto your coffee: Bitcoin is strutting its stuff with a projected peak of $150,000. Can you believe it?! Currently lounging at $117,629, our beloved BTC just needs a little more pep in its step—about 27.52% more, to be precise. Talk about a workout plan!

While the altcoin crowd takes a breather, PENGU looks ready to leap into the limelight, but only if it can outsmart that one pesky obstacle. A little peep at bullish strength, liquidations, and price charts reveals there might still be some wiggle room for our plucky little token.

Following a brief spell of what one might call ” regrouping” or, more honestly, a minor meltdown, the Pudgy Penguins price is now bursting forth like a jack-in-the-box on steroids. The 15-minute chart from Muro reveals a crisp break and retest of that pesky descending trendline— the one that had been playing gatekeeper all day. It’s almost touching how price bounces back with such enthusiasm, whispering sweet nothings about bullish momentum. If only real penguins could reclaim territory this easily! 🐧💥
