US Stocks Fluctuate; Bitcoin Hits $123,091 All-Time High
US stock indices swung from gains on July 14 to a mixed open on July 15 as President Trump’s proposed 30% tariffs on Mexico and EU imports and criticism of the Fed’s $2.5 billion HQ renovation dented risk appetite. On July 14, the Dow rose 0.11%, the S&P 500 0.11% and the Nasdaq 0.32%. On July 15, the S&P 500 opened down 0.07%, the Nasdaq flat and the Dow down 0.06%. Meanwhile, Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $123,091. This Bitcoin all-time high was driven by robust demand for spot ETFs and corporate treasury allocations, lifting broader altcoin gains. Crypto traders should monitor equity market sentiment as a gauge for risk appetite, track economic data and corporate earnings, diversify portfolios and maintain a long-term perspective to navigate potential volatility.
Bullish
The Bitcoin all-time high signals strong institutional and retail demand from spot ETF inflows and corporate treasury allocations. Despite mixed equity sentiment caused by tariff threats and Fed HQ criticism, continued buying momentum suggests further upside in the near term. Longer term, sustained ETF participation and growing corporate adoption could underpin a bullish trend. Traders may experience short-term volatility tied to macro events, but overall market outlook remains positive for Bitcoin.
