After peaking at $90,600 on the 29th, the price failed to stabilize and continued to decline, breaking below key support levels at $89,000 and $88,000. During the early trading hours of the 30th, there was a surge in volume as the price dropped, with a low near $81,000. Market sentiment shifted rapidly from cautious to panic.

Cryptocurrency Asset Overview
BTC (+0.85% | Current Price 89,342 USDT)
BTC has shown a volatile correction trend over the past day, with prices repeatedly oscillating within the 88,800–89,800 USD range. The rebound following the sharp decline on the 26th continues, but selling pressure above remains. The moving average system has shifted from bearish to bullish, with MA5, MA10, and MA30 forming a bullish alignment, and the current price trading above these three moving averages, indicating a short-term bullish trend but still in the recovery phase. The MACD is above the zero line and maintains a golden cross structure, with the red histogram gradually enlarging, suggesting short-term bullish momentum. Overall, if BTC can hold steady above 89,000 USD and increase volume to break through 90,000 USD, it may further challenge the previous high near 91,200 USD; conversely, if it falls back and breaks below the support zone of 88,800–88,400 USD, caution should be exercised for a potential rebound failure and

In the past two years, user trading demands have shifted from single-asset crypto to macro multi-asset allocation. The reason is that not all high-certainty opportunities occur in the crypto market.

Last week, the market performance was weak, with BTC and ETH both showing weak oscillations, and the rebound mainly due to technical correction. On-chain capital flow was defensive, with Ethereum attracting net inflows, while multiple networks experienced capital outflows. This report will analyze these trends in depth, providing market data and technical insights.

Cryptocurrency Market Overview
BTC (+0.98% | Current price 88,575 USDT): The risk of government shutdown and tariff-related policies are jointly suppressing global economic growth expectations, leading to a significant increase in market risk aversion. Over the weekend, Bitcoin briefly dropped nearly 3%, touching the 86,000–86,500 USD range, then rebounded about 1.3%, climbing back to around 87,000 USD. However, after the rebound, the price remains below the local low formed last week and is trading below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, indicating that, in the context of temporarily controlled volatility, short-term selling pressure still dominates. Last week, spot Bitcoin experienced a net outflow of approximately 1.32 billion USD, the highest level since February 2025. Although Bitcoin is still in a controlled retracement phase, the overall price structure has shown clear signs of fatigue.
ETH (+1.88% | Current price

Cryptocurrency Asset Panorama
BTC (-1.69% | Current price 87,655.4 USDT)
After a sustained decline from previous highs, BTC experienced an emotional accelerated drop on the 26th, with a low of approximately $86,100. Subsequently, driven by oversold conditions and short-term short covering, it showed a technical rebound, but the rebound was limited. The current price remains below medium-term moving averages such as MA30, and the overall structure remains in a bearish arrangement. From macro and fundamental perspectives, there is no single major negative factor; ETF and long-term supply and demand logic have not been broken. In the short term, BTC is likely to fluctuate within the $86,000–$88,500 range to digest selling pressure, with caution needed for repeated tests after rebound resistance in the medium term. Over a longer cycle, as long as macroeconomic conditions do not significantly worsen and long-term capital logic remains unchanged, BTC is more likely to oscillate within a wide range at high levels rather than trend downward unilaterally.

Cryptocurrency Market Overview
BTC (-1.69% | Current price 87,655.4 USDT): After weakening at high levels, BTC experienced an accelerated pullback on the 26th, with a low of approximately 86,100 USD. It then rebounded from oversold conditions, but the rebound was limited, and the price remains below medium-term moving averages such as MA30, indicating a generally bearish structure. On the macro and fundamental levels, there are no major negative factors, and the ETF and long-term supply and demand dynamics remain intact. In the short term, BTC may fluctuate within the 86,000–88,500 USD range to digest selling pressure, with potential risks of a pullback after a rebound stalls; over a longer cycle, if macro conditions remain stable, Bitcoin is more likely to oscillate within a high range rather than trend downward unilaterally, thus building conditions for subsequent market movements.

Cryptocurrency Asset Overview
BTC (-7.02% | Current Price 89,004 USDT)
BTC has continued its weak oscillation trend over the past day, with the price retreating from highs and steadily declining along the short-term moving averages. Currently trading near $89,000, it remains under short-term pressure. The moving average structure shows a clear bearish alignment, with MA5 and MA10 crossing below MA30 and the three lines diverging downward, indicating that the short-term trend has not yet stabilized. The MACD is below the zero line, with the fast and slow lines maintaining a death cross structure. Although the momentum histogram shows signs of convergence, no clear reversal signal has appeared. Overall, BTC remains in a weak consolidation phase within a downward channel. If it cannot quickly recover the $90,500–$91,000 range, attention should be paid to the support level around $88,000; conversely, if trading volume increases and it recovers near MA10 and MA30, the downward pressure may be alleviated.
