I Gave an AI $1,000 to Help Me Trade Crypto

I recently came across an interesting video where a content creator ran a simple experiment: he allocated $1,000 and used an AI assistant to help guide his crypto trading decisions.

It wasn't an automated trading bot or a system that executed trades on its own. Instead, the AI acted as a market analyst, providing insights and possible scenarios while the creator made every trading decision manually.

How the experiment worked

Before opening a position, he asked the AI to analyze the market and answer questions such as:

- What is the current outlook for Bitcoin?
- Is the market showing bullish or bearish momentum?
- Which support and resistance levels should traders watch?
- Based on the current structure, what could be a reasonable entry, stop-loss, and take-profit?

The AI never placed trades or made final decisions. It simply provided a structured analysis that the trader could use as a second opinion.

The results

As expected, the outcome wasn't a straight line.

Some trades performed well because the market respected the levels and scenarios suggested by the AI. Others failed as volatility increased or market structure changed unexpectedly. During sideways market conditions, many setups simply lacked enough momentum to reach their targets.

The biggest takeaway

The experiment showed something important:

Artificial intelligence doesn't predict the future.

What it does exceptionally well is organize information, identify possible scenarios, and help traders approach the market with a clearer plan.

However, it cannot replace experience, emotional control, or risk management. Markets are driven by uncertainty, and no AI can eliminate that uncertainty.

Used correctly, AI isn't a crystal ball—it's a decision-support tool. The final responsibility will always belong to the trader.

DWF Labs: Crypto Market Fundamentals Remain Strong Despite ETF Outflows

DWF Labs reported that the first half of 2026 was the first period on record in which spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs finished with net capital outflows.

Even so, the company believes the crypto industry's fundamentals remain stronger than ever. According to its analysts, investor attention has temporarily shifted toward artificial intelligence, and they expect capital to return to the cryptocurrency market over time.

There are rumors on X that on Wednesday, Strategy may have sold around 500 $BTC. At the moment, nothing has been officially confirmed, so it should be treated as speculation.

If this turns out to be true, it could increase uncertainty in the market and create a new wave of FUD around Bitcoin.

Michael Burry Bets Against the AI Chip Sector

Investor Michael Burry, who became famous for predicting the 2008 financial crisis, has opened short positions against Nvidia and Applied Materials. He has also bet against the semiconductor ETF SOXX, which includes companies such as Micron.

Burry believes the AI chip sector is becoming too expensive. In his view, many stock prices are rising because of investors' fear of missing out (FOMO) rather than strong business results.

Trump Says He Doesn't Know How Much He Earns From Crypto

Donald Trump said he does not know how much money he makes from cryptocurrency because his children manage that part of the business.

He also said the United States must stay ahead in crypto and artificial intelligence. According to Trump, if the U.S. falls behind, China will take the lead.

$BTC and $ETH Finish Their Weakest Month of the Year

June was the most difficult month of the year for the crypto market. Bitcoin lost around 20%, falling below $58,000, while Ethereum also dropped by more than 20% and continued its long-term downtrend.

Even with this decline, both cryptocurrencies still ended the second quarter with small gains. Bitcoin finished the quarter up about 1%, and Ethereum gained around 1.6%.

Several factors weighed on the market, including money leaving spot Bitcoin ETFs, uncertainty around major companies such as Strategy, and lower trading activity from investors.

There is still some optimism. Historically, July has often been a stronger month for crypto, with the biggest market rallies usually taking place during the autumn.

Key Indicators to Identify a Potential Bitcoin Bottom

Bitcoin bottoms are not identified by a single metric, but by the confluence of multiple on-chain indicators that have historically aligned with capitulation and accumulation phases.

1. MVRV Z-Score
Compares Bitcoin’s market value with its realized value (average network cost basis).
When it drops near or below 0, the asset is historically undervalued and often near cycle bottoms.

2. Supply in Loss
Measures the percentage of BTC held at an unrealized loss.
When it exceeds 50%, the market is typically in extreme pain and broad capitulation.

3. SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio)
Shows whether coins are being sold at a profit or loss.
SOPR > 1 → selling at profit
SOPR < 1 → selling at loss
Sustained values below 1 indicate capitulation.

4. Realized Losses
Tracks actual losses being realized on-chain.
Extreme spikes usually mark forced selling from weak hands.

5. LTH Supply in Loss
Measures how many long-term holders are in unrealized losses.
When strong hands turn red, it often signals late-stage bear market conditions.

6. Puell Multiple
Evaluates miner profitability.
Very low levels indicate miner stress, historically associated with market bottoms.

7. Exchange Flows
Net outflows → accumulation
Net inflows → selling pressure
Bottoms often form during sustained outflows to cold storage.

8. NUPL
Measures unrealized profit and loss across the market.
Negative zones reflect extreme fear and accumulation conditions.

Historically, these conditions have marked not the end of the cycle, but the beginning of long-term accumulation.

Chinese Businessman Sentenced to 30 Years in Prison for $1 Billion Crypto Fraud

A U.S. court has sentenced Chinese businessman Guo Wengui to 30 years in prison and ordered the forfeiture of approximately $889 million.

According to prosecutors, Guo raised funds from investors through several fraudulent schemes. Authorities estimate that the total losses exceeded $1 billion.

During the sentencing, prosecutors argued that the scale of the fraud was comparable to other major financial crime cases, including those involving Sam Bankman-Fried and Bernard Madoff.

Guo's legal team has announced that it plans to appeal the court's decision.

Is Strategy Preparing for Possible $BTC Sales? 👀

The discussion around Strategy and Michael Saylor has intensified in recent days.

For years, the company’s message was very clear: buy Bitcoin and hold it long term. However, Strategy has now officially indicated that it could sell part of its $BTC holdings if needed to strengthen its financial position or manage liquidity more effectively.

At the same time, the company has taken several important steps:

- Increased its cash reserve to $2.55 billion
- Approved a $1 billion share buyback program
- Authorized the possibility of raising liquidity through up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin sales if required

Does this mean Strategy is in trouble?

Not necessarily.

Many analysts view these actions as a way to improve financial flexibility rather than a shift away from its long-term Bitcoin conviction. In addition, the buyback program has not yet been executed, which suggests the company may be waiting for more favorable market conditions.

The key question remains: what happens if Bitcoin drops further? In that scenario, pressure on Strategy’s balance sheet would increase, and the likelihood of $BTC sales would rise.

$BTC at $58K Feels a Lot Like $18K Did in 2022

I came across an interesting on-chain metric showing that the number of Bitcoin holders currently at a loss has reached its highest level in the past four years.

The last time this happened was during the 2022 bear market, when Bitcoin was trading around $18K.

I still remember many people saying they would only buy if $BTC dropped to $10K–12K. In reality, that opportunity never came, and Bitcoin never returned to those levels after the market recovered.

What If the Problem Was Never the Charts?

For decades, traders have been told the same thing: learn chart patterns, recognize formations, and you'll be able to anticipate the market's next move. Triangles, head and shoulders, flags, cups... the list goes on.

However, Peter Brandt, a trader with more than 50 years of market experience, argues something many people don't expect: chart patterns do not predict price.

Based on his experience, even correctly identified chart patterns fail most of the time. He estimates that fewer than 25% develop as expected. He also points out that many of the patterns shared on social media aren't even properly identified.

So, what is technical analysis actually useful for?

Not for predicting the future, but for understanding market behavior. A chart helps reveal where buying or selling pressure emerged, where liquidity accumulated, and where large market participants may have been active.

According to Brandt, the real edge doesn't come from finding the "perfect" pattern. It comes from managing risk, cutting losses quickly, and letting winning trades run.

Have you noticed how the market has changed?

A few years ago, we joined projects expecting a 2x, 5x, or even a 10x.

Airdrops could earn you hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and if a project only returned 20% or 30%, many people would say, "Crypto doesn't pay anymore."

Today, the reality is very different. Now we celebrate 5%, 10%, or 20% gains, because those are the opportunities the market offers much more frequently.

It's not that we've become less ambitious. The market has simply changed.

Big multipliers are much less common, capital moves differently, and the opportunities are not the same as they were a few years ago.

Every cycle changes the rules of the game. The people who are still here aren't necessarily the ones taking the biggest risks—they're the ones who know how to adapt.

Could $BTC Hit $1 Million by 2028?

Blockstream CEO Adam Back believes Bitcoin could climb to between $500,000 and $1 million before the current halving cycle ends.

According to Back, $BTC doesn't need a major new event to reach those prices. The market already has strong factors supporting growth, including money flowing into Bitcoin ETFs, increasing interest from everyday investors, and more BTC moving from short-term sellers to long-term holders.

He also revealed that he has made several bets on this prediction and thinks Bitcoin could reach these levels much sooner than most people expect.

Glassnode Signals That Altcoin Season May Be Starting

Glassnode’s Altcoin Cycle Signal has climbed to 86 out of 100, reaching a level that is often linked to the beginning of an altcoin season.

According to the data, selling pressure on altcoins has been easing since mid-April. At the same time, most of the recent market selling has been concentrated in Bitcoin.

This shift has helped the indicator move in favor of altcoins, suggesting that the market could be entering a stronger period for alternative cryptocurrencies.
