Beyond Technical Analysis

EURUSD could see further downside potentialFundamental: The euro slipped as mixed ECB signals and political jitters pressured sentiment. ECB President Lagarde reiterated that borrowing costs will remain restrictive 'as long as needed,' even as inflation eases and economic activity stabilizes. Renewed political tensions in France and soft German industrial data also weighed on the euro, though stronger services PMIs offered a modest offset. At the same time, the dollar held firm after a hotter US CPI print reduced the likelihood of near-term Fed rate cuts, keeping EURUSD near a three-week low. Technical: EURUSD retreated below the resistance at 1.1800 and within the ascending channel. If the price extends its decline, it could approach the support at 1.1450. Conversely, a break above the resistance at 1.1800 could prompt a further rise toward the resistance at 1.1920. By Li Xing Gan, Financial Markets Strategist Consultant to Exness

Gold (XAU/USD) Analysis – July 15, 2025As outlined in our previous analyses, we anticipated a potential reversal before gold could reach the $3400 zone. We also noted that any upward movement followed by a solid rejection could offer a valid short (sell) opportunity. 📉 Yesterday’s market reaction to the CPI release, with a drop of nearly 500 pips, has now confirmed this bearish setup. 📌 Based on current price structure, the $3350–$3360 area appears ideal for seeking short entries. 🎯 All target levels previously mentioned remain valid and in play.

The Case for Solar Tracker Infrastructure (NXT) NASDAQ:NXT THE CONCEPT Superficially, the solar infrastructure sector appears to be just another subset of the cyclical renewable energy market, heavily influenced by commodity pricing, subsidies, and Chinese overcapacity. This view, while partially accurate, overlooks a deeper dynamic now unfolding in the utility-scale solar ecosystem: the emergence of solar trackers, specifically Nextracker (NXT), as a default layer of infrastructure that enhances energy yield, drives project economics, and becomes essential to capturing IRR in large-scale solar development. The true attraction of companies like NXT lies not in their participation in the solar value chain but in their ability to compound earnings by becoming the default standard in project infrastructure. As utility developers increasingly seek higher ROI and shorter time-to-completion, tracker systems with proven yield enhancements and robust reliability are becoming indispensable. What began as a technological upgrade is now evolving into an infrastructure platform with software-defined margins, long product lifecycles, and embedded switching costs. If this dynamic is recognized by investors, NXT may undergo a valuation re-rating, as happened with other asset-light infrastructure providers in the past. The process is potentially self-reinforcing: tracker adoption increases → project IRRs improve → developers standardize on proven providers → NXT backlog and margins grow → investor recognition expands → valuation multiple rises → NXT scales further, increasing its data advantage and competitive moat. ANALYTICAL APPROACH The conventional method of evaluating solar-linked equities—projecting demand growth for solar installations and then applying a valuation multiple based on cyclical earnings—is insufficient in this case. NXT’s trajectory is not merely a function of solar penetration; it depends critically on its ability to convert adoption into infrastructure entrenchment. The valuation multiple itself reflects investor understanding of this transition. Instead of isolating earnings and then applying an arbitrary multiple, we analyze the self-reinforcing process of tracker adoption, profitability, and recognition. We identify three interlocking drivers: The effective return on solar projects equipped with tracker systems The penetration rate of trackers in utility-scale solar globally Investor recognition of NXT as a long-term infrastructure platform rather than a cyclical solar component supplier THE SCENARIO Act One: The Emergence of the Infra Layer (2023–2025) At present, the effective return on utility-scale solar projects is entering a new phase. While panel prices continue to decline due to Chinese oversupply (falling below $0.16/W in the U.S.), project economics are improving due to two compounding forces: rising electricity demand (particularly from AI, EVs, and data centers) and software-enhanced yield optimization from tracker platforms. NXT's tracker systems, enhanced by machine-learning algorithms like TrueCapture, are capable of increasing energy yield by 15–25%, a material change in IRR for developers. Meanwhile, the total cost of tracker systems has declined enough to reach mass adoption thresholds, especially in markets like the U.S., where NXT holds a 57% share. Tracker usage in new U.S. projects now exceeds 95%, while global adoption is climbing from 40–45%. Investor recognition is still partial; NXT trades at ~15x earnings despite 30% EPS growth and a $4.5B backlog. The process has just begun, but the initial indicators of self-reinforcing dynamics are visible. Act Two: Recognition and Rerating (2025–2027) As demand for electricity continues to grow and renewable installations scale with it, tracker systems become default components in new builds. Developers now see tracker-equipped plants as the norm, not an upgrade. Projects from 2025 onward increasingly retroactively upgrade from fixed-mount systems. Investors begin to grasp the role of NXT as a high-margin infrastructure provider. The shift in narrative—from cyclical solar to embedded utility infrastructure—leads to a re-rating. Price-to-earnings multiples begin to reflect platform-like characteristics: recurring software revenue, long product cycles, data network effects, and entrenched customer relationships. The company’s moat, built on both hardware reliability (30-year durability) and proprietary software trained on years of operational solar data, becomes widely recognized. Investor multiples compress slightly to reflect maturity but remain above historical solar averages due to sticky revenue, data leverage, and infrastructure resilience. EVALUATION The shakeout is still years away. Until then, NXT is positioned to benefit from a global shift in energy infrastructure. The real risk at present is not from saturation but from investor miscategorization. If NXT continues to be treated as a cyclical solar stock, it may remain undervalued despite strong fundamentals and compelling growth. The key vulnerability lies in the macro environment. Should global renewable demand stall due to policy reversals (e.g., rollback of IRA credits), or should Chinese entrants successfully replicate NXT’s software and reliability at scale, the thesis may weaken. However, even in such cases, the cost structure of tracker-enhanced solar remains globally competitive, and NXT’s backlog and historical performance offer downside protection. Yet, it must be acknowledged that current market sentiment favors nuclear-related equities, driven by political narratives of energy security and bipartisan support for nuclear expansion. Nuclear stocks are being re-rated on the expectation of long-term baseload reliability, even though their LCOE remains higher and their construction timelines are far longer than utility-scale solar. This sentiment bias may delay investor recognition of NXT’s strategic role as an infrastructure platform. If the self-reinforcing process plays out as expected, NXT could deliver the compound benefits of scale, margin expansion, and multiple re-rating. The capital appreciation potential mirrors the early phases of other infrastructure transitions—cable, fiber, datacenter REITs—where early recognition translated into multiyear equity outperformance.

CHZ (Chiliz) Analysis – July 15, 2025 Since breaking above the $0.03 level back in 2021, CHZ surged to nearly $0.80, recording an impressive 3,500% gain. 🧠 This move indicates that major investors entered at lower levels, while short-term holders who bought higher have been taking profits on every price rally, effectively capping further upside momentum in the past. Now, after 4 years, the price has returned to the $0.03 zone — a historically significant area that marked the start of the previous bull run. 🎯 A minimum 100% upside from this level is quite reasonable, targeting around $0.08 in the short to medium term. ✅ For more impatient investors seeking faster exits, $0.05 can be considered an optimal short-term take-profit level.

Sei Analysis – July 15, 2025 Sei appears to be forming a clear classic corrective pattern. After rallying from $0.09 to $1.10, it seems to have completed its correction through two downward legs. 🔁 The recent price action shows a bullish reaction near the previous low, suggesting that Sei might now be in a strong accumulation zone. 📌 For a more conservative entry, waiting for price to approach $0.25 could provide a better risk/reward setup. 🎯 With a confirmed rebound, a move toward the $1.12 level — roughly a 300% gain — becomes a realistic target.

SUI Analysis – July 15, 2025 SUI appears to have entered its bullish phase slightly earlier than most other altcoins. This move seems to be fueled by a number of key partnerships and contracts signed over the past six months — a fundamentally positive signal. 📊 However, based on the current chart structure, entering at this level may not be the most attractive opportunity. ✅ While a short-term 20% upside could be possible, it’s more prudent to wait for price to test its previous high, and observe how investors react to that resistance zone. Their behavior will offer clearer insight into whether a continuation or correction is likely.

XRP (Ripple) Analysis – July 15, 2025XRP has built significant liquidity between the $1.6 to $3.4 range, making a clear breakout through this zone more challenging. 📊 While a short-term breakout above this range is possible, the presence of short-term investors likely aiming to take profits above the range increases the probability of a pullback toward the lower bound. 🎯 For a more optimal and lower-risk entry, we should wait for price action near the $2 zone. If the market shows a strong bullish reaction from that level, it could offer a solid setup for targeting higher levels.

ARB (Arbitrum) Analysis – July 15, 2025After its listing on Binance, ARB has never revisited such low price levels. Reaching the $0.25 zone has sparked a wave of new investors, confirmed by recent on-chain data. It also seems that the correction pattern has completed, placing ARB in a strong position for a potential rebound. 📌 While a more conservative entry could be around $0.35, this current level also offers strong justification for initiating a position. 🎯 Target: $0.90 🔼 That’s a potential upside of approximately 160%. With proper risk management, this setup stands out as one of the more compelling opportunities in the current market.

Where Is BTC Headed in the Next 7 Days?As Bitcoin (BTC) continues to dominate headlines, investors and traders are eager to understand its next move. With a current price of around $117,465 and a recent all-time high (ATH) of $122,980 on July 14, 2025, the cryptocurrency market is buzzing with excitement. Drawing from real-time data on social media platforms like X, web sources, and technical analysis, this article explores Bitcoin’s potential market direction over the next seven days, blending fundamental and sentiment insights for a comprehensive outlook. Whether you're a seasoned trader or a curious HODLer, here’s what you need to know about Bitcoin’s short-term trajectory. Bitcoin’s Current Market Landscape Bitcoin boasts a market capitalization of $2.34 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of $88.63 billion as of July 16, 2025. Its market dominance stands at 62.92%, though it dipped slightly by 0.54% recently, hinting at competition from altcoins. The market is driven by strong fundamentals, including institutional adoption and supply constraints, but short-term volatility looms as traders monitor key price levels. Let’s break down the factors shaping Bitcoin’s path and forecast its movement through July 23, 2025. Fundamental Factors Driving Bitcoin’s Momentum Over 265 companies hold Bitcoin, with portfolios valued in the billions. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $1.69 billion in inflows this week, reflecting strong institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a store of value. The April 2024 halving reduced miner rewards, tightening supply—a pattern that has historically fueled bullish cycles. Analysts predict sustained upward pressure as demand grows against a constrained supply. Bitcoin’s correlation with risk assets like the S&P 500 (0.73–0.90 in Q2 2025) underscores its role as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainty, amplified by recent U.S. policy shifts favoring crypto. Over 95% of Bitcoin addresses are in profit, and declining exchange reserves suggest long-term holders are confident in higher prices, reducing available supply. However, risks like profit-taking after the recent high and macroeconomic uncertainties, such as trade tensions, could introduce short-term fluctuations. These fundamentals set the stage for Bitcoin’s next moves. Sentiment Analysis. Gauging the Market’s Mood Market sentiment, gathered from online discussions and news, leans bullish with some cautionary undertones. Recent analysis indicates that bearish sentiment often signals market bottoms, suggesting a potential bullish reversal. Whale accumulation amid retail uncertainty further supports optimism. Bitcoin’s sentiment score averages 82/100, with 45.49% bullish, 11.49% bearish, and 54.51% neutral commentary, reflecting high engagement. Institutional enthusiasm, ETF inflows, and pro-crypto policy developments drive positive sentiment, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. However, concerns about price manipulation—evidenced by a +1,550% surge in related online searches—and potential profit-taking temper short-term optimism. High trading activity during European hours (08:00–17:00 GMT) often extends Asian session trends, while weekends see increased volatility due to lower institutional participation. The overall sentiment is bullish, with short-term bearish signals potentially creating buying opportunities for savvy investors. Technical Analysis Technical analysis across 15-minute (15m), 1-hour (H1), and 4-hour (H4) time frames offers insights into Bitcoin’s short-term behavior 15m and H1 Time Frames: Recent chart patterns show a rejection below $117,800, indicating a short-term bearish structure. Support lies at $115,000–$116,600, with resistance at $117,800–$118,000. Indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI at 68) and MACD suggest neutral momentum, with a bearish bias if Bitcoin remains below $118,000. A break below $115,000 could push prices toward $109,000–$110,000. H4 Time Frame: The market is consolidating, with the 9-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) catching up to price. The long-term trend remains bullish, supported by rising 50-day and 200-day moving averages. Overall, technical indicators rate Bitcoin as a “Buy,” with 13 Buy signals from moving averages and neutral oscillators, pointing to a potential retest of $120,000–$123,000 if support holds. The charts suggest a bullish long-term trend with short-term consolidation, making support levels critical for traders. Bitcoin Price Forecast for Next 7 Days Synthesizing fundamental strength, sentiment trends, and technical signals, here’s Bitcoin’s likely direction by July 23, 2025 Bullish Scenario: If Bitcoin holds above the $115,000–$116,000 support zone, it could rally to $120,000–$123,000, fueled by institutional demand, ETF inflows, and positive sentiment. Rising moving averages and a bullish H4 trend support this, with analysts eyeing even higher long-term targets. A breakout above $118,000 could trigger a push toward the recent high or beyond. Bearish Scenario: Short-term bearish signals on 15m and H1 time frames, combined with profit-taking risks, suggest a potential dip to $115,000–$116,000. A break below could target $109,000–$110,000, particularly if macroeconomic concerns or altcoin competition intensify. Bitcoin may test $115,000–$116,000 in the next few days due to short-term bearish pressures, but strong fundamentals and bullish sentiment make a rebound to $120,000–$123,000 likely by July 23, 2025. Any pullback should be viewed as a buying opportunity, given the robust institutional and on-chain metrics. Key Levels to Watch Support: $115,000–$116,600 (short-term), $109,000–$110,000 (secondary) Resistance: $117,800–$118,000 (immediate), $120,000–$123,000 (next target) Catalysts: Keep an eye on ETF flows, macroeconomic developments (e.g., inflation, trade policies), and online sentiment for potential market shifts. Bitcoin’s market is in a dynamic phase, balancing short-term volatility with a strong bullish foundation. Traders should monitor the $115,000–$116,000 support zone for signs of a bounce or further correction, while long-term investors can take comfort in the robust fundamentals driving Bitcoin’s growth. The next seven days could see BTC testing $120,000–$123,000 if key levels hold, though a brief dip is possible. Stay informed on market developments and be ready to seize opportunities in this exciting crypto landscape.
