🧭 Key drivers & themes
Macro & geopolitical risk: Increased U.S.–China trade tensions triggered a sharp sell-off earlier this month (~US$19–20 billion in liquidations) when BTC fell toward US$102,000 initially.

Recovery & “buy-the-dip” flavour: After that drop, the market has bounced back, signalling that long-term holders and institutions may see value in this range.

Institutional flow & maturation: Institutional derivatives volumes are setting records and new products (ETFs, tokenised funds) are gaining traction—marking a maturation of the ecosystem.

Regulation & structural shifts: The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has flagged “significant gaps” in global crypto regulation, underlining that regulatory risk remains a material consideration.

✅ What to watch
Support zones & risk of relapse: While recovery is underway, liquidity is thinner and risk remains elevated. According to analysts at Galaxy Digital, near-term volatility remains high even if the medium-term trend is constructive.
CoinDesk
Altcoins and broader market breadth: The majors (BTC, ETH) are leading; watch how smaller coins respond. If the rally broadens, it’s a stronger sign of bullish health.
Institutional flows & derivatives: Sharp inflows or open interest changes can act as leading indicators of big moves.
Regulatory/regime risk: New regulation (or lack thereof) can change sentiment quickly.
Macro cross-asset dynamics: Crypto isn’t in isolation—dollar strength/weakness, bond yields, risk-asset appetite all matter.
⚠️ Risks / caution
A resurgence of risk-off sentiment (e.g., trade war escalation, severe economic slowdown) could trigger another sharp correction.
Liquidity is still less deep than during previous bull-runs—flash crashes are more likely.
Over-exuberance (e.g., chasing gains without fundamentals) remains a hazard.
