Global markets faced pronounced impacts from energy price shocks and heightened geopolitical risks over the past week. Escalating tensions in the Middle East sent oil prices surging, with WTI climbing more than 25% in just one week. This drove a risk-off environment, resulting in simultaneous declines across BTC, ETH, and US equities. From a macro perspective, while higher oil prices are unlikely to trigger an immediate recession, they may fuel inflation and slow the pace of rate cuts in the coming months. On-chain metrics show DEX trading volumes remained robust, with liquidity further consolidating around leading protocols. The total stablecoin market cap climbed to approximately $330 billion, with USDC accounting for the majority of new inflows. In derivatives, funding rates stayed negative and option volatility increased, reflecting continued caution toward tail risks. Overall, markets are now undergoing a phase of macro risk repricing and liquidity reallocation. In the week ahea

Gate Research: Over the past week, macro uncertainty has continued to dominate market pricing. Escalating tensions in the Middle East, tariff expectations, and the ongoing AI narrative have reinforced risk-off sentiment, with capital rotating into defensive assets such as oil, gold, and the Japanese yen, putting pressure on risk assets. BTC declined sharply over the weekend amid thin liquidity conditions, while ETH underperformed BTC overall, leaving the market in a fragile post-deleveraging equilibrium. On-chain data shows event-driven spikes in DEX trading volume, while stablecoin supply has remained elevated but flat, suggesting capital is largely in a wait-and-see mode. In derivatives markets, open interest continues to decline and funding rates remain negative but stable, indicating that overall leverage in the system has been significantly reduced. Meanwhile, mid-tier protocols such as Hyperliquid and Jupiter recorded revenue growth, pointing to a modest rebound in on-chain tradi

Following the joint U.S.–Israel airstrikes on Iran, gold and crude oil gapped higher at Monday’s open, while global equities opened lower and Bitcoin volatility intensified. Prediction markets suggest that the probability of a full-scale war remains relatively low, though the risk of disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz is not negligible. If tensions ease on a temporary basis, commodity prices could see a meaningful pullback. Conversely, further escalation would raise the risk of another sharp surge in gold and oil prices. Bitcoin may face near-term pressure, with its medium-term trajectory likely dependent on global liquidity conditions.

This report provides an in-depth analysis of momentum investing within the Bitcoin (BTC) market, examining how classical technical indicators perform under varying trend and volatility conditions. Beginning with the theoretical foundations of momentum and its behavioral finance interpretations, the report systematically reviews the structural logic, signal mechanisms, and analytical functions of MACD, Bollinger Bands, ADX/DMI, and RSI. Using actual BTC price movements, it illustrates how these indicators reflect trend formation, momentum decay, volatility expansion, and potential reversal signals. Backtesting results over a full year show that different indicators produce highly divergent outcomes when exposed to the same market environment: trend-following and oversold-reversal strategies tend to struggle during weak or choppy market phases, while volatility-breakout methods, particularly Bollinger Band strategies, demonstrate higher win rates and more stable drawdown behavior.
