On July 11th, San Francisco Fed President Daly expressed that she still thinks there could be two interest rate cuts this year. She also pointed out that the impact of tariffs on prices might be milder than anticipated. Daly disclosed that some businesses are in the process of negotiating to share the cost of tariffs, thus reducing the proportion passed on to end consumers. She stated that the U.S. economy is in a good state, with economic growth and consumer spending slowing down but not weakening. Inflation is moving closer to the Fed's 2% target. Daly said, "I believe there may be two interest rate cuts, but everyone's expectations have uncertainties, and we are considering implementing the cuts in the fall." (FXStreet)

On July 11th, trader Eugene posted in his personal community, saying, "As long as this time Bitcoin doesn't have a false breakout followed by a sharp drop (currently it seems unlikely, but it can't be completely excluded), Ethereum is likely to break through the key $2800 resistance level. Although I'm not sure about the specific timing (Bitcoin dominance BTC.D may continue to strengthen for a while), I believe the probability of Ethereum breaking through this resistance level has increased significantly today. In Ethereum's history, it has only broken through the $2800 level three times, and each time, the price quickly rose to around $4000. History doesn't repeat exactly, but it often rhymes similarly. I will continue to hold my long position and be ready to embark on a crazy journey."
