Bitcoin's record low volatility is also a sign that the next price breakout will be volatile, but everyone is guessing which direction price will take and how it will impact altcoins.

The S&P 500 Index (SPX) continued its march toward its all-time high with a 3% gain in July. Signs of receding inflationary pressures and expectations of an end to the Federal Reserve’s tightening cycle are the factors that boosted risk-on sentiment.
However, this bullish mood did not benefit Bitcoin (BTC) as it largely remained range-bound in July and is on track to end the month with a loss of more than 3%. The biggest question troubling traders is when will Bitcoin’s range break and in which direction.

Once the price escapes the range, the next trending move is likely to be strong. The only problem is that it is difficult to predict the direction of the breakout with certainty. Hence, it is better to wait for the price to sustain above or below the range before taking large bets.
With Bitcoin trading inside a range, could the action shift to altcoins? Let’s analyze the charts to find out.
S&P 500 Index price analysis
The S&P 500 Index has been in an uptrend. The bears tried to pull the price back below the breakout level of 4,513 on July 27 but the bulls held their ground. This suggests that buyers are trying to flip the 4,513 level into support.

What is Worldcoin, and how does it help preserve World ID?
WLD token is listed and available via various avenues allowing people to choose the option of purchasing that best suits their needs. Prices are subject to market trends.
WLD is available for purchase on all major centralized exchanges (CEXs), such as Binance, KuCoin, OKX, Bybit and Huobi. CEXs, such as Binance, offer multiple purchase options via credit card or bank deposit, or buying a stablecoin like Tether (USDT) or Binance USD (BUSD), and then using that coin to buy WLD.
It is also available for swaps on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms like Uniswap and PancakeSwap. The levels of security, dependability and liquidity vary among platforms. Sam Altman and co-founder Alex Blania expressed in an open letter that the WLD token would only be accessible in regions of the world where legal compliance is more feasible.
At the time of launch on July 24, 2023, WLD was unavailable in United States, with the company clearly stating that the use, purchase or access of WLD tokens is not intended for U.S. persons, including U.S. citizens, residents, individuals located within the U.S., as well as companies incorporated, located or registered in the United States. Moreover, anyone who completes an Orb scan in the U.S. would not be eligible for the token drop.

NFT Collector: On-chain music sounds off with latest raise, artistic duo Hackatao find their lane
Greg Oakford, co-founder of NFT Fest Australia, is your guide to the world of NFTs from a collector’s and fan’s perspective.
With Sound’s recent $20 million raise, music collectibles have reignited a spark in my mind. While music really hasn’t had its moment in the sun, as has the art market and the PFP mania of 2021–2022, collectible on-chain music feels inevitable.
Collecting music is not new. It’s had many iterations, from vinyl to cassettes to CDs to mp3s (remember that thing called Napster?) to $0.99 tracks on iTunes.
My dad collects blues vinyl yet doesn’t have a record player anymore. He streams music on Spotify, so why buy the vinyl? Why did so many opt to pay $0.99 for songs or $10 to $15 for albums on a centralized digital music marketplace like iTunes when, in reality, getting music for free was pretty accessible?
People collect music for a variety of reasons, including nostalgia, supporting artists financially, social signaling to their friends and followers, and showcasing their personality through their taste in music.
