#加密市场行情震荡 Currently, the global macro core variables focus on the geopolitical game between the US and Iran, with negotiations between both sides stuck in a deadlock, continuously bringing uncertainty and disturbance to the capital markets. The US stance is firm; in a recent interview, Trump stated that the US holds an absolute advantage in the US-Iran negotiations, demanding Iran surrender its enriched uranium stockpile and relinquish control over the Strait of Hormuz, with strong pressure implying a heavy-handed approach. The second round of negotiations originally planned to be led by US Vice President Vance in Islamabad was ultimately postponed after Iran explicitly refused to participate. Additionally, the US-Iran temporary ceasefire agreement due on April 22 faces many uncertainties; the US unilaterally extended the ceasefire period, but core disagreements remain unresolved, and the confrontation in the Middle East remains tense. Driven by multiple factors such as geopolitical conflicts, shipping restrictions, and supply concerns, international oil prices continue to rise. As of now, Brent crude oil prices have risen to $106.01 per barrel, steadily climbing within the day, with a year-over-year increase of nearly 59%. The soaring oil prices further intensify global inflation pressures, increase volatility in major asset classes, and indirectly create complex bidirectional impacts on risk assets.
In Bitcoin’s current rebound, short positions have been largely cleared, with short-term selling pressure briefly released, but the upward logic of the market shows obvious shortcomings. According to CryptoQuant data, this price increase is not supported by an influx of spot buying; the core driving force comes from a concentrated short squeeze in the futures market amounting to nearly $1.19 billion. Over-reliance on derivatives to drive the rally results in weaker stability and is prone to emotional downturns and trend reversals.
Currently, Bitcoin faces significant resistance at the $80,000 mark, with upward momentum gradually exhausted, and the bulls and bears are approaching a balance.
Key resistance and support zones are clearly defined:
- Major resistance: $78,500–$79,000, a heavily pressured zone where bulls find it difficult to break through continuously;
- Short-term reasonable pullback: if pressure causes a decline, the priority support levels are $76,000–$76,500;
- Critical defensive position: $75,000–$75,500, a break below this level would damage the short-term upward structure and could trigger an accelerated decline.
In terms of short-term market rhythm, the latest developments over the weekend regarding the US-Iran situation will be important catalysts. However, the market has already fully priced in geopolitical conflict expectations, and the impact of news-driven unilateral shocks is relatively limited. Overall, the market remains primarily under technical pressure, with a downward correction and consolidation. From a weekly chart perspective, the current fourth wave of the rebound has entered its final stage, with trading volume continuously shrinking and upward momentum weakening, indicating a gradual accumulation of signs of a top in the medium term. After the US-Iran situation fluctuates and market optimism is fully released, the probability of Bitcoin testing the $80,000 resistance and then reversing downward is relatively high. Coupled with multiple negative signals resonating: $8.47 billion worth of options expiring, the prior short positions of $1.19 billion being largely cleared, spot market support weakening, and the futures-spot premium gradually converging, all confirm that this phase of the rally is nearing its end. Without continuous influxes of new spot funds or volume stabilization above $80,000, the weekly rebound is likely to end, and the market will revert to a correction cycle, with the core oscillation zone locked between $75,000 and $76,000. In the medium term, the market will shift from a bullish dominance to a more oscillating and slightly weaker pattern.
