Geopolitical Storm Sweeps the Crypto Sphere
Israel's strike on Iran's nuclear facilities has triggered market panic, with Bitcoin briefly falling below $103,000. Although the long-term fundamentals remain unchanged, short-term risk-averse sentiment dominates, and the technical outlook on the 4-hour level is weakening. If it cannot quickly reclaim $105,000, it may enter a monthly adjustment period of fluctuation.

Trump 'Fires' at the Federal Reserve
Former President Trump has angrily criticized Powell as 'foolish' and called for an immediate rate cut of 200 basis points. The current market focus: when will the Federal Reserve pull the trigger on rate cuts? Both the stock market and the crypto sphere are holding their breath.

Operational Reminders
Short-term focus on the $105,000 battle for Bitcoin; if it falls below this level, caution is needed for monthly adjustments.

Beware of the risks of escalating geopolitical conflicts, as volatility in digital assets may continue to amplify.
