April started with a boost from easing geopolitical tensions, and market sentiment has improved, ending a five-month streak of decline. However, the overall trend remains in a "recovery phase after a decline," with significant overhead resistance from trapped positions. Wide-range fluctuations are likely to continue rather than a straightforward bull market. It is recommended to "lighten positions and try long positions cautiously, with strict stop-losses."



Key Data and Levels (as of April 1)

Bitcoin #四月行情预测 BTC(: approximately $68,200 (+1.7%), key support at $65,000, resistance at $70,000–72,000.

Ethereum )ETH(: approximately $2,110 (+3.8%), key support at $2,000, resistance at $2,200.

Market Status: Total market cap approximately $2.34 trillion, ending a five-month decline, with a slight increase in March.

Bull and Bear Logic Breakdown

Positive Factors (Support for Rebound)

Geopolitical Risk Easing: Signals of ceasefire from the US and Iran have improved market risk appetite, leading to a rebound in BTC and US stocks.

Historical Seasonality: Historically, April is a strong month for BTC (average gain about 13%), providing psychological support.

Institutional Bottom Holdings: Despite weak prices, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net inflows in March, indicating some long-term funds are accumulating on dips.

Negative Risks (Downward Pressure)

Technical Bearish Alignment: BTC and ETH are both facing dense moving averages overhead (e.g., BTC’s 50-day moving average at $71,000), with each rebound facing significant selling pressure.

Large Options Open Interest: Data from Deribit shows heavy put options at the $60,000 level, which could accelerate downward movement if broken.

Macroeconomic Uncertainty: Expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts fluctuate; if liquidity remains tight, it will limit gains in risk assets.

April Market Outlook

Most Probable Scenario (60%): Wide-range consolidation and sideways movement. BTC mainly trades between $65,000–$72,000, ETH between $2,000–$2,300. Any minor news (such as geopolitical tensions) could trigger sharp volatility.

Less Probable Scenarios:

Upside Breakout: If volume pushes BTC above $72,000 and stabilizes, target could be $75,000+ (requiring sustained large ETF inflows).

Downside Breakdown: If BTC falls below $65,000, it could test the psychological level of $60,000, with potential dips to $55,000–$58,000 in strong support zones.

Trading Strategy Recommendations

Spot Traders: Wait and see or deploy gradual dollar-cost averaging. The market remains risky; avoid heavy positions chasing highs. Consider light long positions around $65,000 )BTC( / $2,000 )ETH(, with stops if prices break below.

Derivatives Traders: Use high leverage for short positions and low leverage for longs; trade quickly in and out. Operate within the range, reversing at the upper and lower bounds, with strict stop-losses (recommended 50-100x leverage corresponding to $500–$1000 stop-loss).

Monitoring Signals: Keep a close eye on ETF fund flows (whether net inflows continue) and developments in US-Iran tensions, as these are key variables to breaking the consolidation.
