Macroeconomic uncertainty is increasing, and the crypto market has entered a defensive consolidation phase.

Analysis of the Macroeconomic Environment and Crypto Market Dynamics

Market Overview

The current crypto market has entered a defensive consolidation phase, mainly influenced by the following factors:

  • The uncertainty of the macroeconomy has increased, suppressing market risk appetite.
  • The inflow momentum of funds has weakened, and structural differentiation is明显.
  • Bitcoin remains relatively strong, but the upward momentum is weakening.
  • Ethereum shows signs of weakness in bottom formation.
  • The liquidity of small market cap tokens is depleted, and risks continue to be released.

Investors are advised to maintain a defensive allocation, pay attention to the fluctuations in Ethereum's trend and the pace of capital inflow, and appropriately allocate to high-risk assets.
