#比特币ETF价格战 Bitcoin ETF price war escalates: Morgan Stanley 0.14% fee disrupts
Morgan Stanley submits Bitcoin ETF application, with a fee as low as 0.14%, directly challenging BlackRock's IBIT fee of 0.25%. This banking giant, managing $9 trillion in assets, aims to quickly capture market share with its network of 16,000 financial advisors.
Currently, the lowest market fee is the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust's 0.15%, with Morgan Stanley further dropping by 1 basis point. Analysts point out that in the context of highly homogeneous ETF products, the fee war will accelerate industry reshuffling, and small players may be forced out.
Traditional financial institutions are taking over the Bitcoin ETF market comprehensively. From Grayscale to BlackRock, and now to Morgan Stanley, competition has entered both channel and fee dimensions. I will continue to track the impact of the fee war on market dynamics in the community. Feel free to join for first-hand analysis.

#BTC行情 BTC Death Spiral Alert: Leverage Liquidation Triggers Market Panic
Bitcoin has fallen below the key support of $70,000, and the market has entered a "downward-liquidation-selloff" vicious cycle. Well-known investor Michael Burry warned that a continued decline could "trigger a death spiral, leading to a massive value collapse".
Leverage as an Accelerator: In just four hours, long positions were liquidated for $118.63 million, while short positions were only $4.53 million, with an imbalance of up to 2618%. Institutional funds continue to flow out, with an ETF net outflow of $800 million in a single week, leading to market liquidity depletion.
If there is another 10% drop, publicly traded companies holding large amounts of Bitcoin will face losses of billions of dollars. The market has shifted from a belief in "digital gold" to a pure speculative asset recognition crisis.

#特朗普希望尽快结束对伊朗战争 Trump eager to end the Iran war: Oil price pressure becomes a key driver
Recently, Trump expressed to his advisors a desire to "quickly" end the war in Iran, striving to conclude hostilities in the "coming weeks." This marks the third time he has signaled a ceasefire in recent days.
The pressure is evident: the war has pushed oil prices above $100 per barrel, with U.S. gasoline prices reaching a new high since September 2024. 67% of Americans believe oil prices will continue to rise, with nearly half indicating that the war has strained their wallets.
However, Iran has responded firmly, stating that "the timing of the end of the war is up to Iran," while Israel also hopes to continue applying pressure. Trump finds himself in a dilemma.

#美国加密法案再次遇阻 US Crypto Bill Stalls Again: Focus on Stablecoin Yields
The US Crypto Market Structure Bill (CLARITY Bill) has encountered obstacles again due to disputes over the stablecoin yield mechanism. The banking sector is concerned that allowing stablecoins to provide yields will lead to a massive outflow of deposits and firmly opposes compromise solutions.
The time window is tight; if it is not passed by the committee before the end of April, the chances of legislation this year will significantly decrease. The market has shown panic, with Circle's stock price plummeting over 20% in a single day.
The bill's stalemate reflects deep-seated conflicts of interest between traditional finance and the crypto industry. If it fails, the regulatory vacuum will persist, and industry growth will rely more on products rather than policies.

#特朗普称对伊战争已胜利 Trump announces victory in the war against Iran: geopolitical risks alleviated or a prelude to new turmoil?
U.S. President Trump announced on March 24 at the White House that the war against Iran has "been victorious," claiming that Iran has been weakened, its regime overthrown, and its military "completely destroyed." He also revealed that Iran is prepared to "reach an agreement" and has received a "valuable gift related to oil and gas."
The military deployment behind the "victory" in the war
Despite Trump's claim of victory, the U.S. Department of Defense has dispatched about 2,000 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East, in case the president has more military options while undertaking diplomatic actions. This strategy of "talking while fighting" indicates that the situation still has uncertainties.
Threefold impact on the cryptocurrency market
1. Oil price volatility risk: The "valuable gift related to oil and gas" mentioned by Trump may imply that Iran is making concessions in the energy sector. If oil supply in the Middle East stabilizes, oil prices may fall, reducing inflationary pressures, which could be a potential benefit for risk assets, including the cryptocurrency market. 2. Changes in risk aversion sentiment: The declaration of "victory" in the war may temporarily ease geopolitical tensions and reduce demand for safe-haven assets. However, the increase of U.S. troops in the Middle East indicates that the actual risk has not been completely alleviated, and market sentiment may fluctuate. 3. Impact on the dollar's trend: A calming situation in the Middle East may weaken the dollar's safe-haven properties, but the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance remains the dominant factor. It is necessary to observe whether funds will flow from traditional safe-haven assets to risk assets.
Investment strategy: cautiously optimistic, focusing on actual developments
The currently claimed "victory" is more of a political statement, while actual military deployments are still increasing. Investors should:
- Pay attention to the substantial progress in subsequent negotiations, especially whether Iran truly accepts the condition of "never possessing nuclear weapons" - Be wary of the risks of the situation fluctuating, as geopolitical "black swans" are never far away - Maintain a moderate position to avoid overcommitting in a single direction
Geopolitical turning points often give rise to market opportunities. I will continue to track the developments in the U.S.-Iran situation within the community and analyze its actual impact on the cryptocurrency market. Feel free to message me for timely interpretations and strategic advice.
#特朗普考虑结束伊朗冲突 Federal Reserve's Hawkish Pause: Cryptocurrency Market Liquidity Under Pressure
The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates at its March meeting but signaled a strong hawkish stance. The dot plot shows that 7 members lean towards not lowering rates by 2026, and the number supporting more than one rate cut has decreased. Powell clearly stated, "If inflation does not progress, there will be no rate cuts," and revealed that the possibility of rate hikes has been discussed.
The Federal Reserve has raised its 2026 core PCE inflation expectation from 2.5% to 2.7%, and the GDP growth forecast from 2.3% to 2.4%. This "conditional dependence" on policy means that rate cuts need to meet dual thresholds: first confirm that inflation from tariffed goods has peaked and is declining, and then assess the impact of energy inflation.
The cryptocurrency market faces triple pressure
1. Deteriorating liquidity expectations: Market expectations of the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting rates before December have dropped from 69.5% to 54% 2. Strong dollar suppression: The dollar index rose 0.74% after the meeting, with a strong dollar suppressing cryptocurrency assets 3. Decreased risk appetite: With high interest rate environments persisting, new capital inflows into the cryptocurrency market may continue to weaken
Strategy: Focus on defense, wait for inflection points
In the current environment, leverage should be reduced, focusing on underlying protocols with healthy cash flow, and maintaining sufficient stablecoin reserves to await better opportunities.
The true market bottom requires a coordinated macro environment. I will continuously track policy developments in the community and share strategies promptly when key inflection points emerge. Feel free to join for first-hand analysis.
#美联储3月议息会议 Federal Reserve's March Interest Rate Meeting: Hawkish Pause, Cryptocurrency Market Liquidity Under Pressure Again
The Federal Reserve's March interest rate meeting maintained the interest rate unchanged in the range of 3.5%-3.75%, with a voting ratio of 11:1, only Governor Miran supported a 25bp rate cut. The median of the dot plot indicates a possible rate cut in 2026, but the distribution is more cautious—with 7 members inclined to not cut rates again in 2026, and the number of those supporting more than one rate cut has decreased.
Economic Forecasts Upgraded Across the Board, Inflation Remains the Core Conflict
The Federal Reserve has raised its GDP growth forecast for 2026 from 2.3% to 2.4%, and the core PCE inflation forecast from 2.5% to 2.7%. Powell acknowledged at the press conference that tariff impacts and high energy prices have amplified the uncertainty of the inflation path, and these factors are theoretically one-off shocks, but the transmission time is highly uncertain.
Powell's Hawkish Signals
Although raising rates is not the baseline scenario, Powell clearly stated: "If there is no progress on inflation, we will not cut rates," and revealed that the possibility of raising rates has indeed been discussed. More importantly, the median forecast for the neutral interest rate has risen from 3% to 3.1%, leaving only a gap of less than 50 basis points from the current lower bound, further compressing the space for rate cuts.
Triple Impact on the Cryptocurrency Market
1. Deteriorating Liquidity Expectations: Market expectations for the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut before December have decreased from 69.5% to 54%, and the sustained high interest rate environment will continue to suppress valuations of risk assets. 2. Strengthening Dollar Pressure: After the meeting, the dollar index closed at 100.30, up 0.74%, with a strong dollar posing direct pressure on dollar-denominated cryptocurrency assets. 3. Increased Risk Aversion: The situation in the Middle East was explicitly mentioned as a factor of uncertainty, and geopolitical risks may drive funds towards traditional safe-haven assets rather than the cryptocurrency market.
Response Strategies for the Cryptocurrency Market
In the current environment, Bitcoin's "digital gold" narrative may regain attention, but the overall trend of liquidity contraction in the cryptocurrency market is difficult to reverse. Investors should reduce leverage, focus on underlying protocols with healthy cash flow, and wait for clear signals of a shift in Federal Reserve policy.
A true market bottom requires the cooperation of the macro environment. I will continue to track the Federal Reserve's policy direction and changes in market sentiment within the community, and share specific strategies promptly when key turning points arise.

#山寨季讨论量跌至两年新低 The discussion volume of "Shanzhai Season" has dropped to a two-year low: Is there a turning point brewing in despair?
The discussion heat on social media regarding "Shanzhai Season" has fallen to its lowest point in two years. According to Santiment data, as of the week ending February 27, the social dominance index of altcoins is only 33, far below the 750 of July 2025. The search interest for "altcoins" on Google Trends is only 4 points (out of 100).
The market has entered the "Bitcoin solo dance" era.
CoinMarketCap's altcoin season index is currently at 34 points, well below the confirmation line of 75 points, indicating that the market is still in the "Bitcoin season." More brutally, 38% of altcoin prices are close to historical lows, even higher than the 37.8% after the FTX crash.
The truth about capital flows.
In the past year, 85% of the incremental funds flowing into the crypto market have gone to Bitcoin and stablecoins, leaving the remaining 15% for over 5,000 altcoins to compete for. Bitcoin's market dominance has remained stable at over 55% for 730 consecutive days, setting the longest record in the history of the crypto market.
The freezing point is often the eve of a turning point.
Historical experience shows that when discussions about "Shanzhai Season" drop to a freezing point, it is often the eve of a major rebound. The FOMO and greed sentiment for more speculative assets in the market have dropped to a low, making it easier for large funds to start pushing prices upward.
But the premise is that Bitcoin must stabilize first.
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe pointed out that whether altcoins can rebound largely depends on whether Bitcoin can stabilize. The current market is also affected by broader market pressures brought about by the conflict in Iran.
Conclusion:
When everyone gives up discussing altcoins, the real opportunity may be brewing. But this is not the time for blind bottom-fishing—waiting for Bitcoin to stabilize, for market sentiment to recover, and for funds to rotate again is necessary.
When the market shows clear bottom signals, I will share my analysis and judgments here as soon as possible. Stay tuned or join the community, and don't miss critical opportunities. $BTC $ETH
#加密市场回调 Cryptocurrency Market Correction: This is not a technical adjustment, but the beginning of a systemic retreat
When the positive news is exhausted, funds withdraw, and leverage liquidations create triple pressure, the so-called "correction" is merely a prelude to a larger decline. The cryptocurrency market is undergoing what appears to be a mild correction. Bitcoin struggles around $70,500, down 0.42% in 24 hours; Ethereum is weaker, down 4.1%, testing the psychological barrier of $2,000. But this is not an ordinary technical adjustment; it is a clear signal of market structure deterioration.
Positive news exhausted, negative news arrives
The White House cryptocurrency summit has just concluded, and Trump announced that the U.S. will hold 200,000 BTC as a strategic reserve. However, the market reacted tepidly—exhaustion of positive news is the biggest negative news. More critically, U.S. employment data came in cold, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.4%, and hedge funds are frantically selling BTC ETFs.
Funds are systematically withdrawing
The cumulative net inflow in the cryptocurrency market is -$5.72 billion, with a net outflow of $4.8 billion in ETFs and $840 million in stablecoins. This is not a panic sell-off by retail investors, but a systematic reduction by institutions. When large funds begin to withdraw, the so-called "support levels" are merely paper-thin defenses.
The death spiral of leverage liquidation
In the past 24 hours, the total network contract liquidation exceeded $300 million, with long positions accounting for 65%. High-leverage positions trigger a chain liquidation when prices drop, forming a "decline-liquidation-further decline" death spiral. Market sentiment has shifted from greed to fear, with the cryptocurrency fear and greed index at only 14, indicating an extreme fear zone.
The real bottom is far from here
Technical analysis shows that Bitcoin is still in the oversold rebound repair stage in the mid-bear market downtrend on the daily level, without forming a trend reversal. The key support range of $75,000-$80,000 has been effectively breached, transforming into an important selling pressure area above.
The conclusion is brutal:
This correction is not a buying opportunity, but the beginning of a larger downturn. When institutional funds withdraw, leverage liquidations accelerate, and the macro environment deteriorates, any technical rebound is merely an opportunity to escape. The real winter may have just begun. $BTC
#X移除加密禁令 X Lifting the Cryptocurrency Promotion Ban: It's Not Embracing, but Harvesting
X platform (formerly Twitter) has just lifted the nearly two-year ban on paid promotions for cryptocurrency. Starting March 1, 2026, crypto projects and KOLs can finally "openly" advertise on X.
But is this really good news?
On the surface, this is a key step in Musk's "everything application" strategy. In reality, this is a reluctant choice under pressure from the platform's advertising revenue. From 2024 to 2025, X's advertising revenue continues to decline, while the crypto industry is one of the areas with the strongest willingness to pay globally.
Restrictions still exist:
All promotions must be labeled "Paid Partnership"
Regions with strict regulations, such as the EU, UK, and Australia, are still prohibited
Violators may face content removal, account throttling, or even bans
Musk's true intention:
X is testing the "Smart Cash Tag" feature, allowing users to directly display real-time quotes when mentioning BTC or ETH in their posts. The payment system X Money is also about to launch. This is not a sudden "love for" crypto, but an effort to turn X into a combination of "WeChat + PayPal + Coinbase."
Risks are accumulating:
Pump & dump, false FOMO content may make a comeback. Lack of strict disclosure will face FTC/SEC accountability risks. Some projects may exploit regional restrictions for regulatory arbitrage.
Conclusion:
The lifting of the ban is not a signal of spring for the industry, but the last struggle for platform traffic monetization. When founders accelerate cashing out and mining companies clear their positions, X's "crypto-friendly" stance seems more like a meticulously designed traffic harvest.
Do you think X will become the mainstream entry point for crypto, or will it repeat the frenzy of 2021? #X移除加密禁令
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin is selling ETH at an astonishing rate. In the past 36 hours, he has sold 1,694 ETH worth $3.31 million. Since February 2, he has sold a total of over 8,800 ETH, valued at $17.97 million, having completed more than half of his plan to sell 16,384 ETH.
This is not an ordinary reduction, but a systematic retreat.
V神's cost for holding ETH is nearly zero. When the founder starts to cash out zero-cost assets on a large scale, it typically means: 1) he believes the current price is sufficiently high; 2) he lacks confidence in the project's future growth; 3) he needs to reserve cash for a possible "hard landing."
Market structure is deteriorating.
This is not an isolated incident. Wu Jihan's Bit Deer has emptied all its Bitcoin holdings, about 1,133 BTC, valued at $64-70 million. The simultaneous large-scale cashing out by two industry leaders is no coincidence.
The chain reaction of selling.
Continuous selling by the founder can create a vicious cycle: market confidence is damaged → prices are pressured → more holders panic sell. Currently, ETH has fallen below the key support of $1,900, while V神 still has about 10,676 ETH for sale.
The conclusion is clear:
When the founder starts to accelerate cashing out and when mining companies clear their positions, this is no longer a simple "technical adjustment." This marks the beginning of a systemic crisis of confidence. For Ethereum and the entire cryptocurrency market, a real winter may just be beginning. $ETH
$BTC #比特币挖矿难度上升 Behind the 15% Surge in Mining Difficulty: Miner Surrender is Just the Beginning, the Real Selling Pressure is Yet to Come
While the network hashrate appears to have recovered, the hash price has hit a multi-year low, and the vicious cycle of miners being forced to sell has only just begun.
The Bitcoin network has just completed a historic difficulty adjustment, with the mining difficulty increasing to 144.4 T, a 15% increase, marking the largest percentage increase since 2021. On the surface, this is a sign of network health—the network hashrate has quickly rebounded to 1 ZH/s. However, deeper analysis reveals a structural crisis in the market.
Miner Profitability Has Hit Rock Bottom
The current hash price is at a multi-decade low of 23.9 PH/s. This means that despite the increased difficulty and recovered hashrate, the profitability per unit of hashrate remains weak. More importantly, with Bitcoin priced at around $67,000 and the average mining cost at around $87,000, miners are losing about 27% on every Bitcoin they mine.
This isn't a simple technical adjustment; it's a survival crisis.
Some listed mining companies have begun shifting their energy and computing power to AI and high-performance computing data centers. Bitfarms announced a name change to downplay its Bitcoin identity, and activist investor Starboard urged Riot Platforms to further expand its AI data center business. This transformation could permanently alter the distribution of Bitcoin's computing power.
The market structure has fundamentally changed.
Historical experience has failed: Bitcoin's drop of over 50% has not been followed by a rebound of at least 40%. Even more unusual is the lack of a significant increase in Bitcoin's market share; funds haven't flowed back into this "relatively safe" asset. This indicates that the participant structure, funding sources, and game theory logic have all changed.
The real selling pressure has not yet been released.
A large number of put positions in the options market are concentrated in the $50,000 to $60,000 range, with traders heavily betting on a second dip. ETFs are experiencing continuous net outflows, and institutional allocation demand has reversed. To maintain cash flow, miners may be forced to continue selling off their Bitcoin holdings.
The conclusion is harsh:
The significant increase in mining difficulty is not a signal of a bull market, but rather an alarm bell for accelerated industry consolidation. For marginal miners, this means further shrinking profit margins; for the market, it means continued selling pressure. The true bottom is far from being reached.How long do you think this massive sell-off by miners will last? Or will new funds enter the market to take over?
#特朗普新全球关税 Trump's 15% global tariffs take effect, bringing a 'policy hedging' moment to the crypto market
The Supreme Court's ruling failed to stop the tariff hammer, as global trade tensions inject a new narrative into cryptocurrencies. Trump's tariff policy, after encountering the Supreme Court's 'unconstitutional' ruling, has returned with even greater momentum. He immediately invoked Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, announcing a 15% import tariff on goods imported to the U.S. for a period of 150 days. This move prompted hundreds of companies, including Costco, to file lawsuits seeking refunds for approximately $175 billion in tariffs previously paid.
For the crypto market, this is not purely negative news. Historical data shows that Trump's 'tweet governance' model has become a high-frequency oscillator for the market, with his tariff threats directly causing over $680 million in liquidations of cryptocurrencies in a single day. However, this policy uncertainty has also given rise to a new hedging logic.
The key impacts are twofold:
1. Increased volatility: Escalating trade tensions will inevitably impact global risk assets, and the high leverage characteristics of the crypto market make it particularly vulnerable, with short-term fluctuations expected to be significantly amplified. 2. Reassessment of hedging properties: Against the backdrop of traditional fiat currency systems suffering from credit damage due to trade conflicts, some funds are beginning to view cryptocurrencies as a 'hedging option in extreme scenarios.' The Trump administration's attitude towards cryptocurrencies has shifted from criticism to support, potentially paving the way for its 'digital dollar' strategy.
The conclusion is: While Trump's tariff hammer is causing pain in the market, it also objectively provides a new reality testing ground for the cryptocurrency's 'digital gold' narrative. For investors, this means higher risks but may also harbor structural opportunities.
Do you think this round of tariff conflicts will strengthen or weaken Bitcoin's hedging properties?
#加密市场反弹 The market rebound is merely a technical correction; the true bottom has yet to arrive.
The current rise lacks fundamental support, resembling more of a short-covering after an oversold condition rather than a trend reversal. Recently, the crypto market has seen a rebound, with Bitcoin recovering to around $70,000 from its low point, and some altcoins have shown even more significant increases. However, this is likely just a technical rebound rather than a fundamental reversal of market trends.
The fragility of the rebound is evident in three aspects:
1. Trading volume has not effectively expanded: The buying power during the rebound mainly comes from short-term speculative funds, lacking sustained inflow from institutional capital. 2. The macro environment has not improved: The trend of tightening global liquidity remains unchanged, and the market capitalization of stablecoins is still contracting, resulting in insufficient "blood" flow in the market. 3. Technical pressure is substantial: There are dense areas of trapped positions above, and every upward move encounters selling pressure from those looking to break even.
The driving factors for the rebound are primarily technical corrections after overselling, some short positions being closed, and the market's psychological expectation of support at the "miner shutdown price." Such rebounds are often difficult to sustain.
A true market bottom requires several conditions to be met: complete release of panic emotions, large-scale clearing of leverage, and the emergence of new narratives and capital inflows. Currently, none of these conditions have matured.
The conclusion is clear: do not be misled by the rebound. After completing this round of technical correction, the market is likely to continue downward in search of more solid support. For investors, maintaining patience and waiting for clearer bottom signals is the most rational strategy at this time.
How long do you think this rebound can last? Or will it quickly turn back downward again?
#CZ币安广场AMA CZ's Latest Interview: Optimistic about Bitcoin reaching $200,000, but advises against trading contracts
Binance founder candidly shares: short-term trends are unpredictable, but the long-term trend is clearly upward In a recent Binance Square AMA, CZ (Changpeng Zhao) openly answered the community's most pressing questions, showcasing a clear view of the market.
Core Points
- Long-term optimism: believes that Bitcoin reaching $200,000 is just a matter of time, although the specific timing cannot be predicted. - Altcoin market: the 'altseason' will eventually come, and the entire crypto ecosystem needs diverse projects to support it. - High-risk warning: strongly advises against contract trading for beginners, emphasizing that most meme coins will fail.
Key Advice
CZ repeatedly reminds investors to conduct their own research (DYOR) and take full responsibility for their investment decisions. As a platform, Binance's role is to provide trading channels, not to endorse any token's performance.
Platform Responsibility and Compliance
When discussing legal issues in the United States, CZ admitted that this experience made him deeply understand the importance of compliance. Regarding the rumors of whether 'Binance is crashing the market,' he firmly denied it, stating that in the current strict compliance environment, such actions are neither motivated nor permitted.
Conclusion
CZ positions himself as an industry 'builder' rather than a forecaster, advising investors to focus on the long term and maintain patience.
Which of CZ's viewpoints do you resonate with more: being optimistic about Bitcoin in the long term, or being highly cautious of high-leverage trading?
Bitcoin has fallen below the miners' "cost line"; is the market at the bottom?
Most miners have entered a state of "mining at a loss", but history shows this is not necessarily the final bottom of the market. Currently, with the Bitcoin price around $65,500, it has fallen below the shutdown price of many mainstream mining machines. This means that many miners are consuming cash to maintain operations, incurring losses every minute.
Miner pressure is often seen as a signal that the market is approaching a temporary bottom. Theoretically, when unprofitable miners shut down, the selling pressure in the market will ease. Historically, after a large-scale surrender of miners at the end of 2018, the market gradually stabilized.
However, this is rarely an accurate bottom signal. The true bottoming of the market requires a complete transition from "weak holders" to "long-term believers" in the assets, accompanied by a reduction in trading volume. Currently, this process has not yet been clearly completed.
Although the current price has entered the "pain zone", given the ongoing macro pressures and capital outflows, the market may still need time to digest the selling pressure. For investors, it is more important to remain patient and observe rather than rush to judge a reversal.
Do you think a large-scale shutdown of miners would be a clear signal to buy at the bottom? $BTC
Bitcoin has fallen below $70,000, and my logic for being bearish at the $100,000 mark is being validated.
From frenzy to freeze, the market has confirmed the foresight of being bearish starting from $100,000. When Bitcoin first touched $100,000 in the fourth quarter of last year, I began to maintain a bearish stance. Now that Bitcoin has fallen below the psychological barrier of $70,000, a decline of over 40% from its historical peak, this fully confirms my judgment at that time.
The core logic is being validated by the market: institutional funds continue to flow out, and the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF has shifted from being a major buying force last year to a drag, with a net outflow of $1.61 billion in January this year; liquidity continues to tighten, with the total market capitalization of stablecoins peaking and declining; the technical aspect has completely broken down, with Bitcoin falling below key long-term support levels.
The current market has fallen into a vicious cycle of "decline—liquidation—further decline." Over 200,000 people have been liquidated within 24 hours, with a total liquidation amount nearing $1 billion. More critically, the market has not shown obvious bottom characteristics, and many typical features of panic selling have now emerged.
Under the triple pressure of tightening liquidity, institutional withdrawal, and technical breakdown, I believe Bitcoin is unlikely to perform strongly in the short term. Maintaining patience and keeping cash is wiser than blindly trying to catch the bottom.
The market has risks, and investment should be cautious. Do you think Bitcoin will further test the $60,000 mark? $BTC
#美国政府部分停摆结束 The government shutdown has ended, but the market's dilemmas remain.
Although the partial government shutdown in the United States has come to an end, the shadow over the stock market and crypto market has not dissipated. The 43-day shutdown has concluded, but the market has not experienced the long-awaited rebound. This turmoil has left deep economic scars that are difficult to heal and created a vacuum in key economic data, making it feel like the Federal Reserve is driving in the fog when making policy decisions, intensifying market hesitation and uncertainty.
The more core issue lies in liquidity. During the shutdown, approximately $1 trillion in funds were trapped in the Treasury General Account (TGA) and were unable to enter the market cycle. Although funds will begin to be released, the pressure of rising financing costs has already formed, putting high-volatility risk assets (including cryptocurrencies) at the forefront.
Market sentiment has also reversed. Investors have quickly shifted from extreme optimism two months ago to caution and even pessimism. The most concerning signal is that long-term investors who were once steadfast in holding Bitcoin are now showing clear signs of selling.
Because the primary cause of the decline has been persistent selling pressure in the spot market rather than high-leverage cascading liquidations, the market has not exhibited panic-driven “bottoming” signals. Coupled with unresolved core conflicts between the two parties and the policy risk of another potential shutdown next year, the current market does not exhibit clear bottom characteristics. Investors should remain cautious; cash and defensive strategies may be more important than rushing to buy the dip. $BTC
The market has fallen as expected, with Bitcoin losing the $76,000 mark.
With buying power exhausted and confidence eroded, the cryptocurrency market is facing a "silent collapse." Bitcoin fell below $76,000 over the weekend, a drop of about 40% from its peak in 2025, with over 160,000 people globally facing liquidation.
Unlike previous declines, this downturn lacks a clear panic trigger. The selling pressure mainly comes from a lack of buying interest, fading momentum, and weakened market confidence. Even in the face of traditional positives like geopolitical tensions or a weaker dollar, Bitcoin has failed to respond positively, showing signs of "decoupling" from the broader market.
Market depth has decreased by more than 30% from the peak in October last year, raising concerns about liquidity conditions. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's volatility currently lags behind that of gold and silver, diminishing its appeal as a risk hedging tool and speculative target.
Analysts point out that the "hawkish" expectations triggered by the nomination of the Federal Reserve chairman, along with capital diversion from AI-related stocks and the precious metals market, have put pressure on Bitcoin. Some fund managers have even warned large Bitcoin holders to be patient, stating, "Don't expect to see Bitcoin reach a new historical high in the next 1,000 days."
Current market sentiment has changed significantly, and investors do not seem ready to buy on the dip. Strategists believe that, although some technical indicators are nearing extreme levels, the overall downward trend has not yet ended.
