Overall Assessment
The current BTC market sees extremely strong institutionalisation themes—RWA, stablecoins, national financial infrastructure—accelerating in the medium to long term, while in the short term ETF outflows, liquidity decline and high‑rate environment are heavy burdens.
Especially now, “weak spot demand” and “futures market instability” are occurring simultaneously, bringing the market closer to a phase dominated by a “liquidity battle” rather than directional bias.
Today’s focal points include ETF flow reversal, defending 77K, OI (open interest) sorting, caution over possible further Fed rate hikes, and oil & long‑term rate movements driven by Middle‑East developments.
