1. Sudden Geopolitical Risks (New Maximum Variable)

- Iran has seized multiple oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and blocked some shipping lanes, causing Brent crude oil to soar to $112 per barrel, further intensifying global inflation concerns.
- Trump will hold a White House war room meeting at 7 PM Eastern Time on the 19th to decide whether to take military action against Iran; if strikes occur, oil prices may shoot up to $120, and risk assets will face a second round of sell-offs; if tensions ease, the market may see a significant rebound.

2. Continued Tightening of Macro Liquidity (Core Negative)

- The US April CPI was 3.8% and PPI was 1.4%, both exceeding expectations, with US Treasury yields reaching all-time highs: 10-year at 4.65%, 2-year at 4.12%, 30-year at 5.17% (highest since 2007).
- CME FedWatch shows: the probability of a rate cut in June is 0, the probability of a rate hike in July rises to 6.8%, and there is a 52% probability of maintaining a 3.5%-3.75% interest rate by the end of the year, with a 48% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike.

3. Market and Fund Dynamics

- The entire network experienced liquidations of $720 million within 24 hours, with long positions accounting for 87% (or $626 million), affecting 118,000 people; BTC saw the largest liquidation of $120 million in one hour, triggering a chain reaction of stop-loss orders.
- The total global cryptocurrency market value is $2.62 trillion (down 1.8% in 24 hours), with BTC dominance rising to 58.5%, as funds rapidly shift from altcoins to mainstream coins and stablecoins.
- Fear and Greed Index: 37 (Fear), down 4 points from yesterday.

4. Regulatory and Institutional Dynamics

- The US CLARITY Act has passed the Senate Banking Committee and will be submitted for a full vote (difficult to implement in the short term, beneficial for compliance in the long term).
- JPMorgan has officially applied to the SEC to issue an Ethereum-based tokenized currency fund JLTXX, with a cap of $5 billion.
- Trump's latest financial report shows holdings in crypto-related stocks such as Coinbase and Robinhood, with a total market value exceeding $1.2 million.

II. Market Impact Analysis

Short-term (1-3 days): High Volatility + Bearish Dominance + Geopolitical Uncertainty

- BTC: Fluctuation in the range of 75,500-78,000, with 76,000 as a strong short-term support (tested multiple times without breaking), and 78,000 as strong resistance; geopolitical events will amplify volatility, with extreme scenarios potentially dipping to 74,000.
- ETH: Clearly weaker than BTC, fluctuation in the range of 2,000-2,150, with 2,050 as a key support level; if BTC breaks down, ETH may first drop below the 2,000 psychological barrier.
- Altcoins: Continuation of a broad decline, with only a few AI + DeFi narrative coins going against the trend; Meme coins without fundamental support declined more than 10%, recommended to avoid.

Medium-term (1-4 weeks): Depends on Two Key Variables

1. Federal Reserve Policy Path: If inflation continues to exceed expectations + rate hike expectations warm up, BTC may dip to the 70,000-72,000 range.
2. Middle East Geopolitical Situation: If conflicts escalate, surging oil prices will push up inflation, further suppressing risk assets; if tensions ease, the market may experience a technical rebound.

1. Short Selling on Bounce
- Entry: Enter in batches when the bounce reaches the resistance zone of 77,500-78,000 (observe long upper shadows, shrinking volume, net outflow of funds).
- Stop Loss: 78,300 (300 points above resistance to prevent false breakout).
- Take Profit: First target 76,500, second target 76,000; if breaking 76,000, lightly enter to short down to 75,000-74,500.

2. Buying on Oversold Rebound
- Entry: Enter lightly on the upside after a quick drop to 75,800-76,000 with volume stabilization (long lower shadows, large buy orders, net inflow of funds).
- Stop Loss: 75,500.
- Take Profit: 77,000-77,500, exit immediately if facing obstacles, do not cling to battles.

ETH Contract Strategy
- Participate only after BTC stabilizes, prioritize following BTC trends.
- Short Selling: Enter when rebounding to the 2,135-2,150 resistance zone, stop loss at 2,180, take profit at 2,050 → 2,000.
- Long Buying: Not recommended to actively bottom fish, if BTC stabilizes at 77,000, lightly enter to buy ETH, stop loss at 2,030, take profit at 2,100.
