## Core conclusion

After CPI-positive catalysts pushed BTC to spike up to around the **65,588** level, the market has moved into a pullback phase characterized by the digestion of positives and a convergence of profit-taking. Intraday, it probed down to around **64,366**. The macro backdrop—expectations for rate hikes cooling significantly—has not changed, but the combination of the Fed’s hawkish remarks and repeated fluctuations in the Middle East geopolitical situation has shifted market sentiment to a more cautious stance. On-chain institutional funds continue to flow in; meanwhile, short-term futures funds exit after taking profits, intensifying the divergence between long and short sides. The current move is a normal technical correction within an uptrend. The **64,000–64,200** area is a strong support band; after the pullback stabilizes, there is still rebound momentum. Overall today, treat it as range-bound action: focus on going long on dips to the lower range, using light short positions on spikes as supplementary tactical plays.

## News — funding — technical breakdown

### 1. International finance & geopolitical news

**1) International finance:** In **June**, the U.S. CPI rose **3.5%** year over year and fell **0.4%** month over month; it was across the board below market expectations. The probability of a **July** Fed rate hike dropped sharply from **50%** before the data to around **10%**, greatly easing short-term rate-hike pressure and providing macro support for risk assets. However, Fed Chair Vosch subsequently took a more hawkish stance, emphasizing a resolute fight against inflation and that policy would not be loosened due to a single month’s data; within the year, the option of further rate hikes is still on the table. The market has entered a “phase of digesting positives,” with volatility narrowing, Tsinghua Finance....
**2) Geopolitical situation:** The conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate. In recent days, there have been exchanges of fire in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is pushing legislation to manage the strait, raising control of the strait to the level of national law, and the U.S.-Iran game around the energy chokepoint is becoming increasingly normalized. Geopolitical risk boosts expectations for a rebound in energy prices, while inflation still carries hidden risks of reversals and setbacks; at the same time, risk-off sentiment intermittently supports the allocation value of crypto assets—CCTV News.

### 2. On-chain & capital data

**1) Institutional capital:** Bitcoin spot ETFs continue to maintain a net inflow trend. The single-day net inflow was **$181 million**, including **$139 million** from BlackRock’s standalone product IBIT. Institutional long-term allocation funds continue to step in, providing fundamental support for this round of market action.
**2) On-chain whale moves:** Top whales continue to withdraw WBTC from exchanges. Their current average holding cost is around **$63,000**, meaning they are in an unrealized profit position.
