Summary

Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $123,218 on July 14, before pulling back to around $118,000 due to profit-taking. Despite this, analysts predict a potential rally towards $150,000 if upward momentum continues. Notable institutional interest includes Peter Thiel's investment in a BTC mining company, while U.S. President Trump announced upcoming legislation to enhance the crypto market's structure. The Fear & Greed index indicates a bullish sentiment among traders, although profit-taking persists.
