Click the link to join the meeting: https://meeting.tencent.com/p/7277739262 Today (April 5), the crypto market sentiment is dominated by macro risk-off pressures overshadowing crypto narratives. Affected by the Middle East situation, risk assets are under pressure, and Bitcoin’s “safe-haven”属性 has not materialized, with market sentiment falling into the “extreme fear” zone. Here’s a quick overview of today’s key developments: 【Macro & Regulatory Updates】 · Geopolitical tensions: U.S.-Iran relations have intensified, driving oil prices sharply higher and raising expectations that the Fed may delay rate cuts further. · Regulatory developments: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that tokenized finance could amplify market crises; the U.S. Senate committee will review the Fed Chair nomination on April 16. 【Today’s Key Insight: Why Is Bitcoin’s “Digital Gold” Narrative Cracking?】 The most significant shift in today’s market narrative is the challenge to Bitcoin’s status as “digital gold.” · Anomalous performance: While traditional safe-haven assets like gold and oil surged due to geopolitical risks, Bitcoin failed to rally and instead declined alongside other risk assets. · Underlying reasons: On-chain data shows weak demand; large holders have shifted from accumulation to significant selling over the past year. The market now treats Bitcoin as a highly liquid risk asset, liquidated first during periods of capital stress. · Key outlook: In the short term, Bitcoin’s price movement may remain closely tied to Middle East tensions and oil prices. The live stream is currently explaining how to trade in the current market and how to use key indicators.
