Market Drivers

① Trump announced "Operation Midnight Hammer," and Iran’s nuclear facilities were "completely destroyed"

Truth Social/Reuters: Trump announced that "Operation Midnight Hammer" completely destroyed Iran’s nuclear dust sites, and said that excavation and cleanup will be "long and arduous." At the same time, Trump heavily criticized media such as CNN for not giving pilots the honor they deserved. Once the news came out, geopolitical risk suddenly warmed up, but market interpretations differed—either completely destroyed or meaning the war operations are nearing the end.

② Iran detains U.S. commercial ships, and diplomatic tensions grow tense again

Reuters: Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the U.S. attacked Iran’s commercial ships and demanded the release of the crew. The Hormuz blockade by Iran remains ongoing, and the risk of escalation of regional conflicts has not disappeared.

③ Vitalik attends EthHub Hong Kong opening, outlines the vision of the "new Ethereum tower"

Neo founder: Vitalik, at the opening ceremony of EthHub Hong Kong, outlined the vision for the Ethereum community to "build a new Ethereum tower." The Neo founder will represent Neo to attend the 4月23日 Web3 Festival HK. The ETH technical narrative continues, but the price reaction is limited.

④ BTC regains $75,000, but the $76,000 level is clearly a cap

After BTC’s intraday high of $76,263, it pulled back to $75,732. Trading volume failed to expand meaningfully, and sell pressure above $76,000 is heavier. In the short term, it still needs to be treated as ranging/consolidating.

⚠️ Risk Warning

• BTC $77,800 is the key resistance. $76,263 is the intraday high. If it cannot be broken, the upside room is limited. Focus remains on pulling back while expecting bullishness to continue
• ETH $2,350 is short-term resistance, and $2,400 is the target for intraday bulls

• Iran detains ships + ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, and the Hormuz risk premium still exists

• 15m trading volume of 0.001 BTC is an extremely compressed signal; during the U.S. market session, a directional breakout may occur

• News sentiment dominates the market; the sustainability of fundamentals-driven momentum is limited, so chasing after pumps should be done cautiously

• Position management is a priority. Do not chase gains at the end of a sideways range
