On July 14, BIT Official released a daily chart analysis stating that current market pricing indicates the Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates 2.6 times in the coming quarters, a stark reversal from the rate cut expectations that drove Bitcoin's fifth bull market in early 2023. Since September 2025, market expectations have consistently shifted toward tightening monetary policy, exerting significant downward pressure on Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller also commented that the Fed is at a policy crossroads, with remarks leaning hawkish. Therefore, the CPI inflation data released tonight is crucial for Bitcoin's trajectory. If the inflation reading exceeds 4.0%, it is likely to reinforce expectations of continued rate hikes, further intensifying downward pressure.

On July 14, according to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Clarity Act received public support from a second major law enforcement organization before the Senate's August recess. The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association sent a letter to the Senate Banking Committee on July 10 supporting the bill, while calling for amendments to DeFi protection provisions to strengthen accountability, clarify responsibility attribution in decentralized financial systems, and prevent enterprises from evading regulation under the guise of decentralization. Previously, the bill had received support from the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives. The two letters help counter arguments that the bill would weaken the government's ability to combat crypto-related crimes. However, the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association still demands narrowing the scope of DeFi protections, modifying the “specific intent” language to facilitate liability determination, and clarifying that the bill does not limit existing federal investigative powers. Earlier, four law enforcement organizations sent a letter to the White House in June expressing concerns about Section 604.

On July 14, a foreign media survey showed that economists expect the Bank of Korea to implement its first interest rate hike in over three years on Thursday, with another hike likely before the end of the year. South Korea's inflation rate rose to 3.2% in June, a two-and-a-half-year high, exceeding the central bank's 2% target for the fourth consecutive month. Inflation is expected to average around 3% in the second half of this year, paving the way for the start of a tightening cycle. Strong economic growth, rising housing prices, and high household debt provide policymakers with room to tighten policy. South Korea's economy grew at its fastest pace in nearly six years in the first quarter, and Bank of Korea Governor Lee Ju-yeol stated that given high oil prices triggered by the Middle East conflict, inflation is expected to exceed the central bank's target for a considerable period, making a rate hike necessary. In the survey conducted from July 7 to 13, all but one of 37 economists expected the Bank of Korea to raise its benchmark rate to 2.75% on July 16. Most of the surveyed economists (28 out of 31) predicted another rate hike by the end of the fourth quarter, bringing the policy rate to 3.00%. One predicted the benchmark rate would reach 3.25%, while the remaining two forecast it would hold at 2.75%. The median forecast shows the Bank of Korea raising the benchmark rate to 3.25% in the first quarter of 2027 and maintaining that level at least until the end of next year, which is 25 basis points higher than the forecast in the May survey.
