I. Current Market Situation

1. Price Performance: Intraday plunged as much as 7.2%, breaking the key support at 67,000, with a low of $66,194. The price has been declining continuously from $77,000 this week, with a total drop of 13% over the week, approaching a 50% cut from the last year's high of $126k, with an annual decline of over 20%.
2. Contract Liquidations: Nearly 278k traders were liquidated across the entire market in 24 hours, totaling $1.78 billion in liquidations, with longs accounting for 90%. Leverage positions were heavily hit, causing a panic sell-off, and the fear index dropped to an extreme fear level in the 11 range.
3. Technical Indicators: Daily RSI=23 indicating deep oversold conditions, suggesting a short-term technical rebound may be needed; moving averages show a bearish alignment (50-day moving average at 75,300), and the medium-term downtrend remains unbroken.

II. Four Major Negative Factors Behind This Round of Sharp Decline

1. Continuous Large Outflows from ETFs: The US spot Bitcoin ETF has experienced 11 consecutive days of net redemptions, with a total withdrawal of $3.45 billion, setting the longest redemption period in history, indicating ongoing institutional capital exit.
2. Leading Holdings Companies Reduce Positions: Strategy (a large institutional holder) sold a small amount of 32 BTC, breaking the long-standing consensus of holding without selling, shaking bullish confidence (the actual reduction is minimal, but the emotional impact is strong).
3. Geopolitical Safe-Haven Risks: Escalation of US-Iran conflicts and tense Middle East situation led funds to flow into USD and oil as safe havens, significantly withdrawing from the crypto market.
4. Delay in Federal Reserve Rate Cut Expectations: The market is re-pricing the continuation of high interest rates by the Fed, putting collective pressure on high-valuation risk assets. BTC's performance has completely diverged from US tech stocks (US stocks hitting new highs, crypto plunging).

III. Short-Term Support Levels and Market Outlook

Support (Downside)

- First support at $65,000 (early March low), breaking below opens space to test the $60,000 level;

Resistance (Rebound)

- Short-term resistance at $71,500, strong resistance at $73.8k. A volume-constrained rebound near $73,800 is likely to face a second wave of selling pressure.

1. Short-term (1-3 days): Oversold conditions may trigger a corrective rebound, but it is only a continuation of the decline, unlikely to reverse the bearish trend. Major trapped positions are concentrated between $74,000 and $78,000, with heavy selling pressure above.
2. Mid-term (1-4 weeks): As long as ETF capital remains outflows and geopolitical tensions persist without easing, the overall weak and volatile downward trend will continue.

IV. Divergence Between Short-Term and Long-Term Logic

- Bearish Logic (currently dominant): Institutional capital withdrawal + geopolitical disturbances + rate cut fears resonate, leading to a weakening capital environment and trend dominance;
- Long-term Bullish Logic: Bitcoin’s total supply is fixed, global institutional asset allocation needs remain, and institutions holding long-term positions are still observing after the sharp decline. The downside space is limited by long-term buying interest, making extreme crashes unlikely.
