Renowned trader Doctor Profit posted that a historical indicator for Bitcoin is signaling that "the bottom has either formed or is very close." In 2015, 2019, and 2022, the bear market bottom formation phase began when the realized price of holders for 3 to 6 months fell below the realized price of holders for 1 to 2 years. He believes this indicates that newer buyers are capitulating and selling at a loss, with Bitcoin gradually transferring to longer-term holders.Currently, this crossover is appearing for the fourth time, while the BTC price is below the average cost of both categories of holders. However, historically, this signal does not immediately lead to a reversal; Bitcoin typically experiences several months of sideways movement to complete the bottoming process, so this phase can also be seen as a long-term accumulation range. He believes we are currently in the bottom formation and long-term accumulation phase of the bear market. Doctor Profit stated that over the past few weeks, he has been gradually buying BTC in batches within the range of $54,000 to $64,000, continuing to build his position incrementally with 5% of his portfolio each time.

According to CryptoSlate, Solana increased the block computation unit limit from 60 million to 100 million on July 29, a 66.7% increase. This adjustment provides more parallel processing space for unrelated transactions, reducing the block occupancy rate of a single popular account from the original 20% to 12%.However, the computation limit for writing to the same account in each block remains at 12 million CU, and the incremental data limit for accounts is still 100 MB, which means the congestion bottleneck for popular accounts has not been fundamentally resolved. If a large number of transactions need to be written to the same popular account (such as a high-volume DEX or liquidation contract), they are still subject to this limit. The officials did not provide actual comparative data on transaction confirmation rates, fees, block propagation, or replay before and after the upgrade.

Well-known trader Killa posted that when BTC enters a new monthly cycle, the market has formed a strong bearish narrative, so the probability of a bullish reaction at the beginning of this month is relatively high.He pointed out that based on previous trends, when BTC enters a new phase amid obvious bearish sentiment, there is usually a reverse fluctuation. This pattern may only fail when a significant trend is about to change, such as in November last year and in February and June this year.Killa believes that BTC is currently still in a range-bound fluctuation and is close to the bear market low, so there are two possibilities: one is that the price finally drops below $57,000; the other is that it begins to rebound upwards this month and continues to maintain range-bound movement. Even if BTC is expected to decline afterward, a 2% to 4% increase at the beginning of this month is more in line with the current market structure.
