📊 Market Review

Escalating tensions in the Middle East pushed oil prices higher, reigniting U.S. inflation concerns. Combined with stronger-than-expected economic data, expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain a restrictive policy stance have further strengthened. U.S. equities and Treasuries came under simultaneous pressure, with all three major stock indices declining. In crypto markets, liquidity conditions continued to weaken, with Bitcoin ETFs recording large net outflows for several consecutive trading days. Meanwhile, whale and shark addresses holding 10 to 10,000 BTC cumulatively sold 24,602 BTC over the past week. Under multiple headwinds, Bitcoin extended its weak momentum, breaking below its previous consolidation range and accelerating downward on increased volume. It is now attempting to stabilize near the key support zone of $62,000–$62,500.
