Yesterday's Monday Bitcoin Surge Analysis (Macro and Technical Breakdown), Personal Opinion, For Reference Only!

Macro Perspective (Main Narrative: Geopolitical "Buy News" + Liquidity Restoration + Safe-Haven Asset Rotation)
The key trigger was the escalation of the Middle East US-Iran conflict (the US and Israel's strikes on Iran have entered the third day, with the killing of Iran's top leader, destruction of the naval headquarters, etc.)
Over the weekend and before the open, the market preemptively sold off in panic (BTC plummeted to around 63k), oil, gold, and silver prices surged, and risk assets were under pressure overall. But after the actual combat unfolded on Monday, the market assessed that "the worst-case scenario has been priced in":
Iran's retaliation was limited (more talk than action).
Trump publicly stated that "it might end in 4-5 weeks, not a long-term quagmire."
The Strait of Hormuz remains tense but not fully closed, causing oil prices to spike and then retreat.
→ Panic premium quickly unwound → Risk assets (including BTC) experienced a rebound.
US macro data exceeded expectations: On March 2, the ISM Manufacturing PMI rose to 52.4 (second consecutive month above the 50 expansion/contraction line), and S&P Global Manufacturing PMI also slightly rebounded. This reinforced expectations of a "soft landing + expansion cycle" for the US economy, risk appetite warmed, and funds flowed back from pure safe havens (gold and bonds) into risk assets (tech stocks + crypto).
Bitcoin ETF funds reversed: Recently, the spot BTC ETF, which had been continuously outflowing, showed a clear reversal over the weekend/Monday with significant net inflows. This is seen as a signal of institutional "buying the dip," especially amid macro turbulence, with some funds viewing BTC as a "digital gold + tech asset" hybrid.
The US dollar index rebounded after a phase of pressure: DXY rebounded from last week's lows to around 98.7 (up 0.3-0.4% intraday), but overall remains in a weak trend (down over 6% in the past year). The brief strengthening of the dollar did not suppress risk assets; instead, due to "war uncertainty → slight increase in Fed easing expectations," it indirectly benefited BTC.
Summary of macro: Geopolitical black swans have been "partially digested," + solid US economic data, + institutional fund replenishment → risk appetite phase temporarily restored.
Technical Perspective (Pure Market Mechanics: Short Squeeze + Leverage Reset)
Massive short squeeze: Near the weekend lows, leverage long-short ratio was extremely imbalanced, with a large number of short positions accumulated in the 65k-68k range. After the price quickly broke through 68,000, it triggered chain reactions of liquidations (over $240 million in global liquidations within 24 hours, mainly shorts). This was not "new funds aggressively buying," but a forced liquidation pushing the price higher. Leverage reset + Longs turning around.
Open interest (OI) in futures increased, but longs quickly overtook shorts. Funding rates shifted from neutral to positive, indicating market sentiment moved from extreme pessimism to neutral or slightly bullish. CME futures basis also spiked, showing institutional/professional players rapidly covering longs.
Key level breakout: After the daily candle formed a "hammer" at a low, it directly absorbed the weekend's bearish candle body, turning the technical outlook short-term bullish. The next resistance is at 71,000-74,000 (previous high pressure zone); if it holds, a larger space could open.
This rally is "more about short covering than strong spot demand." If geopolitical tensions worsen again or ETF outflows resume, a secondary dip is likely. Currently, it remains a "rebound from correction" rather than a new bull start.
