Crypto Price Today (July 8): Bitcoin Holds $108K, XRP Leads Majors as Market Steadies

Bitcoin steadied above the $108,000 mark on Tuesday afternoon, keeping the wider crypto market in the green after a choppy start to the week. The flagship coin’s resilience helped lift several large-cap tokens, easing fears of a deeper pull-back following last week’s tariff-linked jitters. 

Earlier in the session the asset slipped toward $107,500, but bargain hunters stepped in within minutes. Traders kept watch on U.S. macro signals yet buying pressure persisted.

Ethereum , SOL and XRP With Mixed Price Action

While Bitcoin traded at around $108,800, up roughly 0.7% on the day, Ether hovered near $2,580. Solana’s SOL remained flat around $150, while XRP firmed to $2.29.

As of the time of writing, Ethereum posted a daily gain of 2.95% as it trades above $2600, after dipping to a daily low of around $2,525, a key support zone from the previous day. On the lower time frames, Ethereum is currently in an uptrend, though resistance near $2,620 may act as a barrier to further buying momentum.

Solana (SOL) is recovering from the previous day’s losses but continues to fluctuate around the $150 psychological level, moving roughly $3 up and down. This suggests a consolidation phase, with SOL’s market capitalization still holding just above $80 billion. It reached an intraday high of $152.5 but currently shows a daily loss of 0.31%.

Ripple’s XRP, on the other hand, is down approximately 1.78% on the day, with a market cap of $135.18 billion. The token is trading near the daily high, which could signal either a retracement following the previous day’s sell-off or a recovery move targeting the nearest 1-hour resistance zone.

Market Overview

Real-time figures from CoinMarketCap put total crypto capitalization above $3.3 trillion, with Bitcoin dominance near 64 %. Also, the crypto trading volume currently sits at $98.53 billion which is a little bit up from the previous day’s value and suggests a minimal increase in buying and selling pressure.

While prices have shown strength, some analysts say low trading volume and rising volatility are signals that the market could face near-term pressure. Analysts added that a pause in MicroStrategy’s regular spot buys removed a short-term prop yet did not dent broader bullish conviction.

With traders eyeing Wednesday’s release of the latest Federal Reserve minutes, near-term direction may hinge on fresh clues about U.S. rate policy. Upcoming consumer-price data on Thursday and Friday’s options expiry could inject new volatility, yet for now the market seems content to consolidate just below spring highs while waiting for a catalyst to push Bitcoin toward fresh records.

AI investment enters the "Trough of Disillusionment", the next 18 months will be a life-or-death test!

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.

Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years

Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.

Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027

Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
