Crypto Market Update: Bitcoin breaks $106,000, Ethereum approaches $2,500

Market Overview

Recently, the macro environment has shown a positive shift. The geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have eased, boosting market risk appetite, with crude oil prices falling back to pre-conflict levels, and gold briefly dipping below the $3300 mark. The Federal Reserve Chairman released some key signals during a congressional hearing: while he did not explicitly rule out the possibility of a rate cut in July, he emphasized the need for more data to assess the impact of tariffs on inflation, suggesting that it is more likely to wait until the September meeting to decide on a policy shift. This statement was interpreted by the market as dovish, and combined with the reduction of geopolitical risks, led to a significant rise in U.S. stocks, with the Nasdaq 100 hitting a historical high, the Dow Jones soaring 500 points in a single day, and U.S. Treasury yields falling in sync with the dollar.

In this context, Bitcoin has broken through $106,000, but its performance has been relatively restrained. The founder of a research institution stated that the 13% increase in Bitcoin since the beginning of the year contrasts with over $63 billion in capital inflows, reflecting the market's cautious attitude towards structural changes. According to analysts, the concentration of chips within a 5% range of the current spot price of Bitcoin has reached 14.5%. He pointed out that once the concentration surpasses 15%, the market may experience significant volatility.

Regarding Ethereum, on June 23, a trading platform experienced a large-scale capital withdrawal, with over 4000 BTC and 61000 ETH flowing out of the platform. This indicates that trader sentiment may be shifting from short-term speculation to long-term holding strategies. Some analysts point out that as the capital rotation pattern shifts from Bitcoin to Ethereum, ETH may see significant gains, as its profit supply ratio is much lower than that of Bitcoin, indicating potential for a rebound. However, some analysts hold a different view, arguing that the ETH price has failed to break through $3000 for more than 20 consecutive weeks, damaging market confidence and facing intense competition from other public chains, making it difficult to return to above $3000 in the short term.

For Ethereum, analysts believe the ETH upward targets are $2,475 and $2,565, while support levels are around $2,331 and $2,155.

Overall, market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, and investors need to closely monitor changes in the macroeconomic situation and regulatory trends, while being wary of potential volatility risks in the short term.
