Can we reach $22k then?
It seems that sentiment is very positive, but in the recent months, that's how we start. Couple of increase in the first and second week and then goes down hard again at the start of the third and then the fourth week.
So this might be the trend again, and we might go back to $19k at the end of the month.
We can tbh. Next resistance in the daily chart is at 28k and the bounce could very may well reach that imho. But we'll see. Crypto has been very sensitive to any kind of bad news lately. You know... The bear market of things. Total opposite of the bull market when a little bit of good news would pump a random coin around 5x in just a week.  That's when the market is easy to trade. The one we're having rn should mostly be avoided. Then again, I could be wrong. 17.5k could be the bottom. But as I always say, we'll see... Nobody can really predict these things. |

Adesanya def could out point Pereira but Adesanya isn't 100% unhittable. Just one touch from that guy in those 4 ounce gloves, Adesanya sleeps. He was slept by Pereira with the bigger gloves they use in kickboxing. So there's prolly some doubt in Adesanya's mind if he can really beat this guy as he was already between twice by Pereira.
If Israel Adesanya's pacing is changing here then Alex Pereira can not read him, this is my take Alex Pereira can memories and download his opponent's movements, and from that, he can surely throw his killer left hook that makes Adesanya and Strickland feel the canvas, if Israel Adesanya could make his movement unreadable then he can make Pereira miserable in their fight, or unpredictable, well you can surely say that Israel Adesanya sometimes is unpredictable so I think Israel Adesanya can still have the advantage when he face Pereira for the 3rd time, and this time through the combat sports that Adesanya dominates, But here's the thing tho Pereira knows Adesanya and has already won vs Adesanya twice in kick boxing. Yeah sure it's a different sport but Adesanya isn't really known for his wrestling and doesn't do much of any grappling except for defending against it. It's going to be a very interesting match up... Something which Adesanya won't be too keen to engage imho. Here are the weigh in results for the event. The Pickett vs Tiuliulin was rescheduled to another event, so it's just 11 UFC matches for the weekend. Rafael dos Anjos (156) vs Rafael Fiziev (155) Caio Borralho (185.5) vs Armen Petrosyan (185.5) Said Nurmagomedov (135.5) vs Douglas Silva de Andrade (135.5) Chase Sherman (253) vs Jared Vanderaa (263.5) Cynthia Calvillo (126) vs Nina Nunes (125.5) Michael Johnson (155.5) vs Jamie Mullarkey (155.5) Ricky Turcios (135.5) vs Aiemann Zahabi (135.5) Cortney Casey (126) vs Antonina Shevchenko (124.5) Cody Brundage (185.5) vs Tresean Gore (185.5) Garrett Armfield (145) vs David Onama (145.5) Kennedy Nzechukwu (205) vs Karl Roberson (202.5) Saidyokub Kakhramonov (136) vs Ronnie Lawrence (135.5) |

I missed Q1 and Q2 and caught a stream at the first red flag of Q3.. I forgot that it was going to be a sprint race with quali happening today instead of tomorrow. But yeah, unfortunate for both Mercedes drivers.
And on the last runs after the second red flag, I really thought Leclerc had P1 in the bag when Verstappen had a slightly slower run at sector 1 and 2. But surprisingly got pole after a decent last run at sector 3.

^ Do you want to make a small side bet out of it? Just 10 bucks for fun. I say ETH goes down below 1k USD and touches 800 - 850 range within the year. The bounce we're seeing now really feels like it's just that... A normal bear market bounce before it all starts trending back down again. Dunno... But I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about as you have been watching the market for as long as I am. |

The poll is pretty close... 11 votes for yes and 14 votes for no. But with the whole market getting some action on the buy side, I think people will start forgetting that we're still in a bear market. But this bounce is good for a small, quick trade to make a little something something for sports betting. Lol.
This is what I think... After the bounce, BTC goes break down below 20k again and touches 13k - 14k range. That's the part we wake up and start buying!

This evening Juventus had a lot of meeting and this is the situation.
Di Maria will come to Italy tomorrow.
Pogba will come Saturday.
Today Juventus pushed for Koulibaly from Napoli and Zaniolo from Milan and Arnautovic (back up player)
Pogba is a very good signing but only for Juventus, where the club already knows how to use him and what he's really capable of. And it's a free transfer too and he's just 29 years old. Juve bought him for cheap from United then sold him back with a high price tag and now they're getting him back again for free. Lolol. Anyway, what's the news on De Ligt? A week ago I heard he's going to Chelsea, now it's Bayern Munich. I think he could be a good signing for United. Maguire sucks. |

. Against Pereira, I fear for Adesanya tbh. The Pereira guy has serious powerrr in those hands. But yeah... It isn't just about Pereira to pressure Adesanya into going all out vs him. I mean after how Adesanya's last match turned out, he'll def be pressured to perform. And he could get starched. ;/
Izzy will likely out point him, just like in their kick boxing matches, it was almost domination in terms of point fighting, but Alex has that power. They don't call him stone hands for nothing. Man can punch, and we need that threat, but also that rivalry to really wake up Izzy. His style of fighting gets him the wins, although the one with Whittaker recently was very close, but ultimately it doesn't entertain the fans. Adesanya def could out point Pereira but Adesanya isn't 100% unhittable. Just one touch from that guy in those 4 ounce gloves, Adesanya sleeps. He was slept by Pereira with the bigger gloves they use in kickboxing. So there's prolly some doubt in Adesanya's mind if he can really beat this guy as he was already between twice by Pereira. Some replays of those guys in the main event. Enjoy... UFC Free Fight: Fiziev vs Moicanohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5k3ci-Rr_cUFC Free Fight: RDA vs Felderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ODk1Oja8dMI regret putting Fiziev high up in my lottery ticket.

According to sources Raheem Sterling has confirmed a move to Chelsea as an agreement has been reached for a transfer fee of £45m and this has been agreed by both parties.
However, at this time Chelsea are still prioritizing the transfer of Rapinha, which it is reported that Chelsea are also interested but this is still waiting for an offer from Barcelona whether there is a match or not with the Leeds side but Chelsea will still wait for the next news, which means with other rumors Ronaldo and Neymar who will go to Chelsea is still not a priority. Tuchel seems to focus on other players compared to the two stars.
Wtf... That can't be real. So Chelsea get to acquire Raheem Sterling for 45m GBP and Tottenham acquired Richarlison for 60m GBP? That's some fkn bad piece of business for Tottenham imho. Daniel Levy is getting worse in playing the transfer market. I think it started during Andre Villas Boas' second year as manager. It was also the year Bale left for the a then record transfer fee beating Ronaldo's transfer fee. I'm also hearing some talks going around that Bernardo Silva could leave City too. Is Pep doing a revamp? It's prolly the CL... He wants to win it with City. |

Easy KO win for Kayla Harrison in first round, and my biggest pick from this PFL event Magomed Umalatov won his fight against Al-Silawi in same style KO win in first round.
I think now it's confirmed that Umalatov is great MMA fighter with perfect record, and Dana White could use this guy in welterweight category.
Nobody can win a fight against UFC champion Kamaru Usman in that category and they could use any challenger they can find.
Usman vs Umalatov sounds very good to me.
I think Harrison and the UFC had something lined up for Amada Nunes right before Nunes' championship rematch vs Pena. If she had won that, Harrison would fight Nunes in a cross league deal thingy or whatever you guys call it. Harrison was there with the audience during the Nunes - Pena match, all ready for the UFC's dog and pony show had Nunes won. It would've been a banger imo.  And here are the next events for ONE and Bellator. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/89781-one-championship-159https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/89188-bellator-mmaI wonder why the books stopped the betting market for ONE. FJ had it for a while before and a couple others. |

Sainz was the slower of the top 4 drivers of the day and he manage to win the race.
Disaster Ferrari with Leclerc, he was faster than Sainz with a damaged car and they failed the call for the pit box.
Have you forgotten that Verstappen was way slower after some technical problem with his car after pitting. If it didn't happen he would've won the race easy. So Ferrari got lucky there. And they got lucky twice. Verstappen took P1 at the start of the race before the huge crash. Next race at Austria should be interesting with Verstappen not winning the last one. Books still have him ahead at 1.85, Leclerc at 3.50 and Sainz, Perez both at 10.10 and 10.60 respectively. Well not sure so easily, even Leclerc was faster than Hamilton and Sainz with a damaged car. But yeah Ferrari got luck with Sainz. Yeah not too easy, I guess but you saw how Verstappen took P1 from Sainz at the start of the race and he was basically coasting away from the cars behind him. It would've been easy imho if not for the red flag. Anyway the books are putting up funny lines again. Leclerc is a slight favorite at quali at 2.10 vs Verstappen's 2.35. But for the race it's still close to the odds I posted a day ago. 1.83 now for Verstappen and 3.55 for Leclerc. Surely Leclerc knows what to do now... 3.55? I think it could hit. What do you guys think? |

^ RDA could upset Fiziev imho. Fiziev slows down around the third round while RDA has fought 5 rounds of MMA a few times. I still pick Fiziev tho. Don't get me wrong, Izzy has pretty much beat everyone that he can in his division. I was worried about Costa a while ago, but he provided himself decisively in that fight. I want to see Izzy styling on his opponents, because he's very capable of it.
Alex might be able to pressure that out of him, here's to hoping anyway. Anyway, for this weekend I'm probably going to give it a miss from a betting perspective. I'll still get my picks out closer to the date, but I'm really not fancying many of the fighters, and while the card might turn out to be a banger, I'm not overly familiar with everyone on it.
Against Pereira, I fear for Adesanya tbh. The Pereira guy has serious powerrr in those hands. But yeah... It isn't just about Pereira to pressure Adesanya into going all out vs him. I mean after how Adesanya's last match turned out, he'll def be pressured to perform. And he could get starched. ;/ As for the next event, I like the main, the co main, the co co main and the opening match between Lawrence and Kakhramonov. |

Pereira is given no. 6 spot after beating Strickland who was at no. 4. Not sure why Pereira wasn't given the no. 4 spot but I'd like to see him go next or go against the winner of Whitaker vs Vettori next month.
I listened Adesanya interview and he is already asking for Pereira fight next, so his rankings doesn't matter very much if they make some deal with Dana White approval. Oh cool. And yeah from a business perspective it makes sense for the UFC and Adesanya. Adesanya has been recycling the competition. And pretty sure no fan would want to watch him fight anybody in the top 5 again. I think there are some guys who are hesitant about Pereira getting a title shot. But really it's time to get some new blood in there. Here's my lottery ticket for the next event. Won three of them last week. Yippeee. Hoping to get lucky again. Nurmagomedov - Borralo at 1.97 Add: Fiziev - Mullarky - Lawrence at 6.71 Add: Shev - Brundage Add: Nzechukwu - Vanderaa - Pickett at 92.35 Add: Zahabi Nunes at 517.41 And here's the Multi Master.

Same deal with the BTC sentiment thread for July at the other speculation section. Check out the chart below. Next support could be the 800 - 835 range. It seems to be respected last time as ETH bounced back up as soon as it approached it. What do you guys think? Will it be respected again next time or is ETH going below it? Removed 'no idea' as an option. Yes or no votes only... And there are no right or wrong answers here. Just reply with your thought process and... Let's make it fun!  |

--- Meanwhile, Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement with Christian Eriksen. The next process between Eriksen and Manchester United is just a medical test.  A three-year deal has been agreed between Christian Eriksen and Manchester United. Unless he wants to save teams from relegation, I'm not sure why he wants to join United. However, I can't fault him for wanting to make sure he takes care of his family after what he's been going through. However, I'm glad he decided to accept Man United's offer. Don't know how to feel about this one transfer, either it'll be a disaster or the season's biggest signing. Eriksen getting in Man United, still one of the biggest clubs in the world is such a privilege esp if we consider his condition. Afaik he wears a pace maker off the pitch to regulate his heart beat. Tbh I really have no idea now he passed the medical test. Maybe he's all good now. All in all, great for him... But I'm kinda sad to see him leave Brentford. Thomas Frank and Matthew Benham were the only guys who took him in and accepted him when no other club would. |

So wait... It's a 'voluntary ban'? Meaning not all clubs have to comply if they don't want to? I think smaller clubs could take advantage of this if so, as they'd be more likely not to go with it and the more likely they'd be more in demand for gambling deals. Aka more money for them. I think... And if my understanding of 'voluntary ban' is right.
I think La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga could become more in demand for gambling deals too.

So about this, what rank should a fighter be to get a shot at the title holder?
Top five at the very least. However, most of the time the second ranked fighter has already taken a shot at the champion, and lost. So, it would make sense if future contenders go through them first. I'm happy with top five, but I'm much more comfortable with top three being allowed a shot at the title. Anything below that, and it starts to get a little bit weird, like Conor. Title shot should be earned, but should be given to anyone that's deserving. Sometimes fighters don't get that chance despite putting on good shows, and working their way up. But the thing with 185 is Adesanya already has beaten all comers. The UFC must update the rankings a few hours ago. Top 5 in order are: Whitaker Cannoier Vettori Brunson Costa All of these guys got beat by Adesanya. ... Pereira is given no. 6 spot after beating Strickland who was at no. 4. Not sure why Pereira wasn't given the no. 4 spot but I'd like to see him go next or go against the winner of Whitaker vs Vettori next month. https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/658602-ufc-fight-night-robert-the-reaper-whittaker-vs-marvin-the-italian-dream-vettori |

^ Yeah sucks. But it would be kinda boring if Verstappen is gonna be upfront. It would be too easy for him. And are they allowed to change tires during a restart because of the red flag? I feel more for Hamilton than Verstappen. Hamilton started really good from P5. And... Here's another one.  Edit: Sainz choked. |
