The cryptocurrency market has been under continuous pressure recently, with Bitcoin repeatedly struggling around the $60k level. The market is highly focused on the guidance from the U.S. CPI data released on the evening of June 10 regarding interest rate cuts. At the same time, macro liquidity tightening, capital flow diversion to the AI sector, and geopolitical conflicts are intertwined, leading to intense battles between bulls and bears.



  1. Market and Technical Analysis: Bitcoin Fluctuates Around $60k

  Since the peak of $126,000, Bitcoin has sharply retraced and is currently consolidating between $61,000 and $65,000. The daily chart shows a "lower highs and lower lows" bearish arrangement.

  The Bollinger Bands are opening downward, with the middle band at $63,000 acting as resistance, and the lower band support near $60,760. The MACD has a death cross with increasing bearish volume, indicating insufficient rebound strength.

  Multiple technical analyses suggest that if the price falls below the key psychological level of $60,000, it may continue to decline toward $57,000–$58,000 or even lower; conversely, if it can hold above $61,000 and form higher lows, a short-term bottom may be established. 46

  Ethereum is also under pressure, with short-term resistance at $1,720 and support around $1,650; SOL faces resistance near $68.

  二、Macro Factors: CPI Data as a Key Variable

  The U.S. CPI data released on the evening of June 10 is the market's focus. Institutions predict it may rise to the 4.2%-4.3% range, with inflation rebounding for several months. If so, expectations for rate cuts will increase, benefiting a rebound in the crypto market; if in line with expectations, the market may remain volatile.

  After the non-farm payroll data was well received, expectations for rate hikes by the end of the year increased, with a 62% probability of rate hikes before year-end. Under tight liquidity conditions, gold, cryptocurrencies, and U.S. stocks are all under pressure.

  The U.S. dollar index remains high, and institutions like Goldman Sachs have delayed rate cut expectations until 2027. Long-term high interest rates continue to suppress risk asset valuations.

  三、Capital Flows and Market Sentiment

  Bitcoin ETF has experienced net outflows exceeding $4.2 billion for three consecutive weeks, with funds rapidly shifting away from the crypto sector toward AI and mega IPOs (such as SpaceX).

  After large institutional investors entered, Bitcoin's volatility decreased, and its correlation with other assets weakened, reducing its advantage as a diversification tool.

  Altcoins suffered heavy losses, with ZEC plunging 60% and OPN dropping 70%. Market panic is intense, with many KOLs shifting focus to AI, leading to decreased attention on the crypto sector.

  Stablecoin trading volume has surpassed the combined total of Bitcoin and Ethereum, reflecting a coexistence of risk aversion and hedging demand.

  四、Geopolitics and Unexpected Events

  Iran launched missiles at Israel, and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz temporarily triggered a broad decline in cryptocurrencies, followed by a rebound as tensions eased.

  On the evening of June 7, the crypto market surged significantly, with Bitcoin rising nearly 4% and Ethereum over 8%, but most of the gains were technical corrections rather than trend reversals.

  五、Regulatory and Legal Developments

  A man in Fuzhou, China, was sentenced to 12 years and 7 months for stealing 4 Bitcoins, with a fine of 300k yuan. Judicial practice confirms that Bitcoin has property attributes.

  Macau joined the multilateral central bank digital currency bridge (mBridge), marking a substantive step in cross-border applications of digital RMB, contrasting with cryptocurrencies.

  Sun Yuchen sued the Trump family’s crypto project World Liberty Financial, accusing it of illegally freezing tokens. The incident exposes risks of centralization in DeFi governance.

  六、Market Cycle Perspectives

  Compared with Bitcoin’s four full bear markets, the current large-cycle bottom may occur between November 2026 and January 2027, with the ongoing correction process more than halfway through.

  Most analysts believe that BTC is unlikely to reverse trend in the short term, and it will probably consolidate between $57,000 and $67,000, waiting for on-chain liquidity to return and for bottom formation confirmation.
