crypto market defense consolidation funds are cautious and observing BTC fluctuates ETH is bottoming out
Macroeconomic pressures and weak capital resonate, the crypto market enters a defensive consolidation stage
The current crypto market is facing multiple pressures and has entered a defensive consolidation phase. This is mainly reflected in:
The uncertainty of the macro environment has increased, suppressing risk appetite. The delay in expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, coupled with rising tariffs and geopolitical risks, has dampened market risk appetite.
Funding momentum has marginally improved but with structural differentiation. ETF capital inflow has turned into net outflow, the issuance of stablecoins has increased moderately, and the premium of USDT in the over-the-counter market has fallen below 100%, reflecting a cautious attitude towards funds.
Major coins show BTC fluctuating under pressure and ETH weakly building a bottom pattern. BTC remains relatively strong but its upward momentum has weakened, while ETH shows signs of bottoming but is still relatively weak compared to BTC.
The liquidity of the small-cap token market is exhausted, and risks continue to be released. TOTAL2 and TVL are declining in sync, and the market share of OTHERS has broken downwards, indicating that the market is in a risk release period.
In this context, it is recommended to maintain a defensive position allocation, closely monitor the strength and weakness turning points of ETH and the rhythm of capital inflow, and wait for the opportunity to position in high β assets.
Macro and Market Environment Analysis
Inflation concerns caused by tariffs may delay the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts, putting short-term pressure on Bitcoin prices.
The appreciation of the yen may lead to short-term corrections in Bitcoin due to fluctuations in the global market.
If Trump's related encryption policies fail to materialize, Bitcoin may face adjustment risks.

Overall, the current market is in a consolidation phase, with poor performance in terms of capital and sentiment. It is recommended to pay attention to the buying strength of institutions and the performance of small-cap tokens to assess whether market sentiment is improving. In the short term, the market may continue to rebound, but risks of adjustment should still be monitored.
