Last night, Iran announced the complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz, directly triggering intense fluctuations in the global financial markets. Crude oil plummeted sharply, gold surged then retreated, and U.S. stocks strengthened across the board. The rapid rebound in risk appetite drove the crypto market to surge simultaneously, with Bitcoin breaking through recent highs and reaching a maximum of $78,200. Ethereum also rose to a high of $2,462. However, the entire market movement was essentially a short-term pulse driven by news, lacking sustained buying and fundamental support. Prices quickly pulled back after a rapid rise, failing to form an effective trend breakthrough, and overall reverted to a consolidation pattern. Yibo will continue to monitor the implementation of Federal Reserve policies, institutional capital flows, and on-chain data changes, providing real-time updates on layout strategies and target asset dynamics.

Bitcoin retreated from the early morning low of 74,475 yesterday and started oscillating upward. In the afternoon, it surged to 76,300 but faced resistance and slightly pulled back. After dropping to 75,000, it stabilized and rebounded again. In the evening, stimulated by the news of the Strait of Hormuz opening, it quickly surged, reaching a high of around 78,200 before rapidly falling back and entering consolidation. In the short term, 78,000-78,200 forms a strong resistance zone, with 75,000-75,500 as a key support. Weekend market activity is usually relatively light, and after the news-driven shock, sentiment cools down. The market is likely to mainly fluctuate sideways at high levels, with a focus on whether the 75,000 support can hold.

Ethereum continued its previous consolidation trend yesterday morning. After dipping to 2,315 at midday, it stabilized and began oscillating upward. In the afternoon, it surged to around 2,375 but faced resistance and slightly retreated to 2,334. Driven by the strength of U.S. stocks and overall risk assets in the evening, the market moved in tandem, breaking through recent highs to around 2,462. It then faced selling pressure and retreated into a high-level consolidation zone. Overall, the pattern shows an initial bottoming and stabilization, followed by oscillating upward, and finally a news-driven rally with high-level consolidation. Short-term bullish momentum has been released. Future focus should be on whether support levels hold and the strength of resistance breakthroughs above.
