The market doesn't want to rise now; it's just afraid to rise. Everyone is waiting for news—either data or to see what Trump will do next. In the past 24 hours, nearly 120,000 cryptocurrency investors have been liquidated.

Trump backed off this Wednesday, suddenly pausing some tariffs and even easing restrictions on products like phones and computers. This move seems like 'first making harsh statements, realizing the market can't take it, and then quickly hitting the brakes.' Many say he is 'seeking benefits for allies and manipulating the market,' but I personally don't buy it. The U.S. stock market is so large that it can't be easily 'manipulated' by a few fluctuations; it's more likely he's been cornered by the bond market.
The tariff policy has turned 180 degrees, and cryptocurrency has responded by rising. Earlier today, Bitcoin broke through $86,000, having previously dipped to $75,000, while Ethereum rose over 5%.
Bitcoin
The price of BTC has rebounded to above $85,000, showing signs of market stabilization, with an initial three-week reversal forming. However, the strength of the reversal appears insufficient, and the market may oscillate at this position for a while. During this phase, trading strategies should be cautious, focusing on capturing major trends (the body of the fish) and avoiding involvement in the early (the head of the fish) and late (the tail of the fish) stages of oscillation.

Ethereum
ETH's return to 1600 has eased the market conditions for altcoins to some extent. Its extreme fluctuations may also drive the rise of other altcoins, which can be considered a short-term indicator. The market will only get better in the future.

Today, most altcoins have risen, with Solana's native token leading the market. SOL has increased by about 6%, currently priced close to $125, having previously fallen to double digits earlier this week.


XRP is well above the coveted $2 support level, Dogecoin rose by 3.5%, and TRX increased by $0.25. In contrast, TON and HBAR have seen slight declines.


PI has had the largest increase among the top 50 altcoins, soaring 12%, with a trading price surpassing $0.65. ONDO follows closely, rising by 6%.


The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies rose by over $50 billion overnight, reaching $2.745 trillion.

Altcoins currently still face liquidity challenges, but the buying frenzy hasn't diminished for two reasons.


Firstly, Bitcoin's price is high, and ordinary people have limited funds, believing its appreciation potential is limited.


Secondly, altcoins have previously experienced explosive growth, and now they generally have fallen by 80%, which is viewed as a good opportunity to buy the dip, with expectations for 5-10 times appreciation when the peak season arrives.


Despite the turbulent altcoin market over the past four months, which has trapped many investors, hope should still be maintained. Idle funds are of no use, and although altcoins have seen significant declines, spot investments are unlikely to go to zero. The predicament is temporary; perseverance may lead to eventual gains.


Market sentiments are fluctuating, with everyone betting whether Trump's tariffs will eventually serve as negotiation leverage or genuine sanctions. The key time point is the GDP data at the end of the month; if it truly is -2.8%, the Federal Reserve will have a headache, and only then might the market genuinely find a new direction.
