⚖️ Core Influencing Factors (Positive vs. Negative)
Positive Factors
1. Institutional Long-term Allocation: Clients like BlackRock and Fidelity are allocating quarterly, with pricing power shifting to institutions, potentially reducing volatility.
2. Regulatory Framework Maturing: G20 promotes unified regulation, the Clarity Act is under discussion, improving compliance and lowering entry barriers for institutions.
3. Improved Macro Environment Expectations: Markets anticipate the Federal Reserve to start cutting rates mid-year, which could ease liquidity.
4. Halving Cycle Support: 18-24 months after the 2024 halving (2025-2026) are in the “regulatory and demand recovery period,” with supply contraction still in effect.
Negative Factors
1. Tightening Macro Liquidity: Nomination of hawkish Federal Reserve Chair by Trump, rising rate hike expectations, SOFR rate soaring, suppressing risk assets.
2. Regulatory Uncertainty: Risk of U.S. government shutdown, Chinese authorities reiterate bans on mining and virtual currency trading, South Korean exchange incidents trigger trust crises.
3. Continued Capital Outflows: ETF redemption pressures, retail speculative sentiment low, on-chain trading volume and active addresses decline.
4. Ongoing Leverage Unwinding: Long positions are being closed rather than added, market lacks upward momentum, rebound is weak.
