Overall Cryptocurrency Market Bias: Extremely Bearish, market is in a state of panic selling, liquidity exhaustion, and confidence collapse.
1. Core Bearish Factors (Today’s Dominant)
- Price and Liquidations
- BTC: Dropped about 12%, temporarily fell below $60,000, hitting a 16-month low
- ETH: Dropped over 13%, below $1900
- 24-hour Liquidations: Over 430,000 traders, totaling $2.069 billion, with long positions accounting for over 70%
- Market Cap Evaporation: $186 billion in a single day
- Macro and Policy (Most Critical)
- Federal Reserve rate cut expectations completely reversed: less than 10% chance of a rate cut in March, earliest possible in the second half of the year
- Trump nominates hawkish Waller as Federal Reserve Chair, prioritizing balance sheet reduction over rate cuts
- U.S. Treasury Secretary clarifies: the government will not rescue cryptocurrencies, no obligation for banks to increase holdings
- Capital Flows (Institutional Exit)
- Bitcoin ETF: Net outflows exceeding $800 million for two consecutive days, total of -$1.61 billion in January
- Institutions shifting from “Digital Gold” to gold/US Treasuries for safe haven
- Sentiment and Narrative
- Fear and Greed Index: 10 → Extreme Fear
- “Digital Gold” narrative completely collapses, BTC follows the market down without leading
- Market enters a death spiral of decline → liquidations → further decline
2. Slight Bullish Factors (Almost Submerged)
- Technical: RSI oversold, short-term oversold rebound possible (but very weak)
- No major regulatory positive news, ETF inflows, halving expectations advanced, or other strong drivers
3. Overall Environment Assessment
- Macro: Global risk assets sold off across the board (US stocks, gold, silver, crude oil all plummeted simultaneously), liquidity severely tightened
- Crypto Attribute: Shifting from “Tech Growth” to high-volatility risk commodities, decoupling from US stocks, linked to gold/commodities
- Capital: Institutional withdrawals + retail liquidations, declining new capital inflows
- Sentiment: Extreme panic + confidence crisis, no clear positive narrative support
4. Short-term Outlook (24–48 hours)
- Likely to oscillate downward with weak and brief rebounds
- Key support levels: $60,000 → $58,000; losing these may trigger a new round of selling
- Liquidation aftermath persists, high leverage risks extremely high
