Bitcoin is currently trading around $71,500, firmly holding the $70,000 mark. A particularly noteworthy point is that despite the Fear & Greed Index remaining in the 'extreme fear' zone (15-35) for 46 consecutive days, the price has not collapsed. Experts offer the following interpretations:
Accumulation by True Investors: Bitcoin continues to see net outflows from exchanges, signaling that investors are accumulating for long-term holding rather than short-term selling.
Institutional Support: Bitcoin ETF net inflows alone reached approximately $2.5 billion this month, indicating steady institutional capital inflow even as retail investor sentiment has deteriorated.
Ethereum (ETH): Trading sideways around $2,180. Maintaining its key support level of $2,100.
AI-related Coins Strong: AI-related coins such as TAO, FET, VIRTUAL, and RENDER led the market with upward momentum.
CRCL (Circle) Plunges: Dropped 20% on news that the draft 《CLARITY Act》 could prohibit the payment of stablecoin interest for mere holding.
The biggest market concern is the possibility of a ceasefire negotiation with Iran. The U.S. has presented a 15-point peace plan to Iran, and if negotiations progress, oil prices could fall further. Experts warn that oil prices need to drop to the $80-$85 per barrel range for Bitcoin and XRP rallies to be sustainable.

The current market is in a unique phase where extreme fear sentiment (index 35) and strong prices (above $70K) coexist.
Positive Signals:
Continued Bitcoin exchange outflows → genuine accumulation
Formation of an ascending pattern with higher highs and higher lows on a weekly basis
Continued institutional capital inflow into spot ETFs
Risk Factors:
Disappearance of Fed rate cut expectations (0% chance of a cut this year)
Uncertainty over resolution of Middle East risks (oil price volatility)
Extreme fear sentiment persisting for 46 days
Experts predict that the market will find its direction between $65K and $80K next week, depending on the PCE data release and the outcome of the Iran negotiations.
