Yang Guang bit | July 17 $BTC precise strategy, controlling the trend end to end

Key takeaways

BTC has continued to fall from the 65,588 peak, accelerating downward during the day to around the 63,460 area. The short-term long structure has officially broken down, entering a phase of corrective adjustment. The CPI positive impact has been fully digested. Combined with the Fed’s hawkish remarks reigniting rate-hike expectations and institutional funds exiting to lock in profits, bearish forces have taken the lead. The 64,000-64,200 zone turns into a strong resistance band, while below, support will first be tested at the 63,000 integer level. Today’s overall plan is mainly a rebound from higher levels; low-leverage longs are only for oversold bounces—quick in, quick out.

News flow - Funds flow - Technical breakdown

I. International finance & geopolitical news

1. International finance: The June CPI-positive sentiment has been fully released. Multiple Fed officials have delivered concentrated hawkish remarks, reiterating that inflation has not yet met targets and that there may still be rate hikes within the year. The market has tightened rate-hike expectations again. The U.S. Dollar Index has rebounded after stabilizing, and risk assets have faced overall pressure. The crypto market has weakened in sync.
2. Geopolitical situation: Marginal easing in the Middle East situation. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have cooled. Safe-haven sentiment drops quickly. The geopolitical premium that previously supported the market has faded, and the market has returned to being dominated by macro fundamentals, with bearish forces gradually gaining room.

II. On-chain & capital data

1. Institutional funds: BTC spot ETFs have shifted from continuous net inflows to small net outflows. Institutional money has moved from bottom-fishing to standing by. Long-term buying strength has weakened, and without institutional backing, the pressure for market adjustment has increased.
2. Futures funds: In the derivatives market, shorts have been added heavily. The long/short open interest ratio has continued to trend downward. Longs have been liquidated in concentration, with daily liquidation volume exceeding $100 million. Leveraged funds have been trampled and exited, and near-term selling pressure is heavy—bearish trend is clear.
3. On-chain whale movements: Leading whale addresses have concentrated inflows into exchanges for BTC, significantly increasing sell pressure on the books. Exchange inventory has continued to rise, and visible token distribution activity suggests the adjustment cycle may be extended. $BTC ‌#美国6月PPI年率5.5%
