Upcoming financial data heightens investor uncertainty regarding Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Miles, a renowned cryptocurrency expert, recently emphasized a bleak outlook for altcoin rallies seen in previous years. He underscores potential disappointment for investors eagerly anticipating the resurgence of robust market trends. At the time of writing, Bitcoin $107,644 stands at $107,460, with Ethereum $2,442 still trading below $2,500.

Despite new peaks for Bitcoin, altcoins have yet to display significant upward movement. Many investors continue their long-standing wait, while a cloud of negativity hovers around certain analysts. Among them is Miles, who cites factors such as increasing supply, as reasons inhibiting a return to prior market conditions for various altcoins.
“I find it perplexing that individuals are surprised by the continued depreciation of altcoins against BTC. With increasing unlocks and distribution coupled with declining demand, what were you expecting? This is a new market structure – adaptation is necessary. You can’t play like it’s 2021 and expect success.”
Increased unlocks in certain altcoins could potentially validate Miles’ perspective. Particularly since 2021, new cryptocurrencies have introduced a significant portion of their total supply into circulation upon exchange listings. The bear markets have witnessed a persistent rise in supply alongside a notable increase in the number of altcoins. The market is flooded with various layer2, DeFi, RWA, and AI altcoins, yet demand remains significantly subdued.
For investors, examining the past and future lock-up and unlock schedules of altcoins held long-term, as well as the market value records seen during previous highs, could assist in setting more realistic goals.

Upcoming PCE data, Independence Day tariff announcements on July 4, and the deadline for tariff-related matters on July 9 provide significant concern for investors. The Fed is not expected to lower rates in July, and the effect of tariffs on inflation will be critical for mapping out future trajectories.
The possibility of extending the July 9 deadline and not implementing anticipated tariff agreements pose significant risks. Despite the concerns, Poppe remains hopeful for Ethereum.
“So far, everything is on track for ETH. If it continues to stay below this significant range, we might test the other side of the range in the coming weeks.”
Ali Martinez suggests a potential breakout is on the horizon and highlights two critical zones for both scenarios.
“BTC is fluctuating, and the next significant move will occur outside the 106,900-108,200 dollar range.”
