It is now 2026.03.17 at 11:20 AM. Today we only discuss the market without talking about strategies. This time, the long positions in the rising market did not earn much, with 30% of the long position remaining at 71900 being fully liquidated at 75200 at market price. The short positions have not been liquidated to defend the cost despite a few hundred and eight hundred points. Only part of the market price short position earned 1300 points this morning and was liquidated, which is not worth boasting about. Currently, those without positions continue to wait for the previously shared high short strategies. Friends who need real-time market information can join my free strategy channel.

Under the circumstance of BTC having eight consecutive daily green candles, the price has risen from 65500 to 76000, which also gives you a return of over 15%, allowing the bulls to once again bask in the long-lost warm spring sun. As the price of BTC rises, mainstream coins like ETH and SOL, as well as some altcoins, have also seen significant increases, while the short squeeze has made the iron-headed bears feel like they are living in a hellish situation. In the last three weeks, BTC spot ETFs have continued to see net inflows, with last week's net inflow reaching as high as 767 million USD. Yesterday (03.16), the largest BTC holding company, Starategy, announced the purchase of more than 22,000 BTC, with a total investment of 1.57 billion USD and an average purchase price of 70194 USD. As of now, they hold a total of 761,068 BTC at an average purchase price of 75696 USD. With the arrival of spring, the big players have just touched the cost line. Recently, the price increase of BTC has surpassed that of most tech stocks in the US stock market and traditional assets like gold, which is gratifying. With more institutions and investors entering the market, the risk attributes of BTC assets are undergoing positive changes, and the long-term market outlook is becoming more promising. Personally, I believe that the current short-term market rise still belongs to a compensation for the previous decline, rather than a signal for investors to fully restore their risk appetite. Therefore, the recent strategy continues the views of the past few weeks, still leaning towards waiting for high shorts, even if it rises to over 80000 in the near future, I will still short.

In terms of geopolitics, I mentioned in my market analysis on March 12 that both parties involved in the Middle East conflict currently seem to benefit, and many friends hold opposing views: Iran is blocking the Strait of Hormuz, and the United States is unable to obtain Middle Eastern oil, leading to a decrease in domestic supply. So, let me remind you that some time ago Trump kidnapped the Venezuelan president to the United States just to ask him why he wasn't obedient? Currently, Venezuela's entire oil production is under the control of the United States, and before oil prices rose, they had already set the oil prices for the next few years to be exported to the United States. They do not need to spend more money to go far for oil from the Middle East, and Venezuela's oil production completely covers U.S. demand; any excess can be sold at inflated prices to other countries directly at the port, baby! If the Americans casually block Iran's oil exports, then the whole world will face not just rising oil prices, but an oil shortage. At that time, the United States will become the enemy of the whole world, so currently, the Americans and Iranians are happily maintaining this balance point of shared interests, and whenever the heat dies down, they throw in a small bomb to create panic.

Currently, the BTC price has pulled back to 74400 to stop falling, reducing positions for short orders above 75500, looking down at 72388. The long-side traders who are out of the market continue to observe whether the minimum of 71888 can stabilize at 70388 to enter a short-term long.
