Market data and analysis for February 20, 2025, show the following characteristics and trends in the cryptocurrency market today:
- Performance of Major Cryptocurrencies
BNB: Today's price is $650, with a 24-hour increase of 0.39%. The closing price yesterday was $652.07, and the current circulating market value is $673.964 billion. BNB has shown relatively stable performance recently, with a highest price of $731.93 in the past 7 days, but the current price is still down 17.6% from its historical high of $793.3.
ETH (Ethereum): Today's price is around $2730, with a 24-hour increase of 2.02%. Ethereum has performed strongly recently, with market sentiment gradually turning bullish in the short term. The decrease in exchange balances indicates that investors prefer to hold long-term. The exchange rate of Ethereum against Bitcoin has also risen, showing strong resilience.
BTC: The current price is around $97,300, down from the historical high of $109,114. The market is concerned that Bitcoin may further retrace to $86,000, mainly due to weakened demand, sluggish blockchain activity, and reduced capital inflows. The short-term support level is at $92,000; if it breaks below, it may drop to $85,000.
- Market Sentiment and Capital Flow
Market sentiment for Ethereum is relatively optimistic, with investors tending to transfer assets from exchanges to hardware wallets, showing confidence in long-term value.
The market sentiment for Bitcoin is relatively weak, with the cryptocurrency fear and greed index declining from its peak, indicating a lack of contrarian traders and capital to absorb sell-offs.
The stablecoin market is underperforming, with the 60-day average change in USDT market value plummeting over 90%, reflecting a sharp decline in stablecoin demand.
- Macroeconomic and Regulatory Dynamics
Uncertainty in U.S. policies (such as Trump's tariff policies) and the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike plans are putting pressure on the crypto market.
The EU has approved 10 stablecoin issuers under MiCA, but Tether is not included, which may impact the stablecoin market landscape.
The U.S. SEC is seeking public opinion on the WisdomTree XRP ETF proposal, which may bring new opportunities to the cryptocurrency ETF market.
- Future Outlook
BNB: It may continue to fluctuate around $650 in the short term, requiring attention to overall market sentiment and capital flow.
ETH: Expected to break through key resistance levels soon, with market sentiment and technical indicators supporting further upward movement. The key resistance level is around $2850; if broken, it is likely to rise further above $3000.
BTC: Resistance is between $98,500 and $99,000, followed by $100,000 to $104,000. Support is at $92,000, followed by $89,000. Focus on these points for positioning.
- Technical Analysis of Intraday Contracts
We analyzed yesterday that for BTC, pay attention to the pressure around $98,400. If it approaches this level, consider short positions. When the market retraces to around $96,000, you can take long positions. Currently, it has exited. The current price is fluctuating around $97,300; do not act immediately at this point. Wait for it to either drop or rise a bit before positioning for long or short. Overall, BTC appears bearish on the daily chart; if it reaches $98,400 tonight, enter a short position with a stop loss at $100,400 and a target of $96,000 to $95,000.
ETH: As mentioned yesterday, pay attention to the pressure around $2850 and support at $2500. The recent trend has not broken out of this range, and the trend remains downward. Although ETH has performed better than BTC in recent days, treat it as a fluctuating market. Consider short positions around $2800, with a stop loss at $2860 and a target of $2600.
Today's Summary
In a fluctuating market, we should treat it as such and not be greedy. The range is bound to be broken; it’s just a matter of time. Therefore, we must always set stop losses during operations. If the direction taken is incorrect and the range is broken, exit with a stop loss. Do not be stubborn; this market has educated many stubborn traders countless times. You can be right 10 times, but if you are wrong once, it all goes to zero.
