BlockBeats News, July 15th, in the latest article from the "Fed's Whisperer" Nick Timiraos, it was mentioned that the inflation data for June might lead Federal Reserve officials to continue to proceed with caution. Those who had predicted that tariffs would trigger more significant price pressures later this year may not have much reason to change their view after seeing the June data—especially if retailers try to delay price adjustments as much as possible. The June data will only make the upcoming July and August data more crucial. Similarly, policymakers who believe that tariffs will not cause significant inflation (because businesses' pricing power is insufficient to support inflation) have almost no reason to change their views after seeing Tuesday's report.

These three bills were reviewed by the Rules Committee yesterday. The final vote is expected to take place tomorrow or Thursday.

Note: This procedural vote is not a direct vote on the GENIUS, CLARITY, and Anti-CBDC bills themselves, but rather a decision on the procedures and rules for the formal debate and vote on these bills in the House of Representatives, known as a "motion to proceed" or "rule" vote.

BlockBeats News, July 15th, according to Coinglass data, if Bitcoin breaks through $120,000, the total short liquidation strength of mainstream CEXs will reach 736 million.

Conversely, if Bitcoin falls below $116,000, the total long liquidation strength of mainstream CEXs will reach 268 million.

BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not show the exact number of contracts awaiting liquidation or the exact value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster to the adjacent liquidation clusters, that is, the strength.

Therefore, the liquidation chart shows to what extent the price of the underlying asset will be affected when it reaches a certain level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that the price will experience a more intense reaction due to a liquidity flush when it reaches that level.
