🔥 Bitunix analyst: Global central banks enter wait-and-see mode simultaneously, market enters stagflation pricing phase
On May 1, Bitunix analyst pointed out that major global central banks are collectively entering "wait-and-see mode," with the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and Bank of England all holding steady and providing no clear direction.

Central banks face a dilemma: maintaining high interest rates will drag down the economy, while early rate cuts could trigger runaway inflation. The bond market has begun repricing stagflation risks, with US Treasury yields rising. For the crypto market, BTC remains supported by risk appetite and institutional funds, but if the market shifts from "soft landing" to "stagflation trading," high-valuation assets may see amplified volatility, and liquidity expectations will become a major pressure.
