At present, the BTC market is at a sensitive point of the 312 event's fifth anniversary, coupled with the upcoming release of the US February CPI data, the market sentiment is complex and the Fluctuation is intensifying. As of March 12, 2025, the current price of BTC is $81,709.72, with a daily volume of $46.45 billion, but the year-to-date decline still exceeds 12%, and the panic index of 34 indicates a cautious market sentiment. Short-term trends are influenced by multiple factors interwoven:

**Core driving factor analysis**
1. **CPI data and Fed policy**
The CPI data announced tonight (expected annual rate of 2.9%, monthly rate of 0.3%) will be a key variable. If the data is lower than expected (such as 2.8%), it may strengthen the market's expectations of a Fed rate cut, boosting risk assets; conversely, if it exceeds expectations (such as over 3%), the market may worry about higher interest rates lasting longer, leading to a BTC pullback. Previously, the resilience of the 3.3% year-on-year core CPI in the United States in January has already cooled expectations of a rate cut, and Federal Reserve Chairman Powell emphasized the need for cautious decision-making.

2. **Institutional Disagreements and ETF Fund Flows**
Institutional views are diverging: Standard Chartered Bank maintains a long-term target of $200,000 by the end of 2025, but if it falls below $76,500 in the short term, it may test $69,000; 10X Research predicts a short-term drop to $73,000. In terms of funds, BTCETF saw a net outflow of $220 million, indicating a short-term institutional bias towards caution. Attention needs to be paid to signs of sovereign fund entry and other fund inflows.

3. **Policy and Hot Event Disturbance**
- **Positive factors**: The U.S. Big Pie Act is reintroduced (government reserves exceed 1 million coins), Metaplanet issues bonds and adds positions in BTC, indicating continued traditional institutional deployment.
- **Potential Risks**: SEC delays approval of multiple types of crypto ETFs, Texas plans to limit the government's BTC investment cap, regulatory uncertainty still exists.

Market Outlook and Strategy
In the short term, we need to closely watch the support level at $76,500. If it falls below, it may further test the range of $73,000-$69,000; if the CPI data is lower than expected, or triggers a technical rebound. In the long term, the market is optimistic about the Fed's expected rate cut (current market predicts an 80 basis point cut within the year), sovereign holdings, and the return of ETF funds as the core driving forces of the bull market. Institutions generally expect to break through the $200,000 target by the end of 2025.

In conclusion, BTC is at a key turning point, and the CPI data will directly affect the short-term Fluctuation direction, while policy dynamics and fund flows determine the mid-term trend. Investors need to respond flexibly and balance short-term risks with long-term value allocation.
