1. Current Market Overview

This week, BTC directly broke the $95,000 mark! Behind this surge, institutions are frantically increasing their positions + the Fed's policy easing is the main driving force, but the pressure zone of $96,500-$97,500 is the real test, can it break? Let’s discuss further.

2. Technical Analysis: Key levels need to be closely monitored!

1. Support Level:

Short-term defense point at $93,000 (previous concentrated trading zone, if broken may retest $91,500);

Strong support at $88,500.

2. Resistance Level:

$96,500-$97,500: A daily level pressure zone, breaking through it and heading straight for $100,000 is not a dream;

$94,500: Yesterday it was a bottleneck, today it has become support, bullish sentiment is stabilized.

3. Indicator Signal:

MACD Golden Cross + RSI 63: Not yet in the overbought zone, upward momentum still exists;

Trading volume surged: 24-hour trading volume reached $39.1 billion, indicating major funds are seriously moving.

3. Why the sudden surge? Three main driving forces behind it

1. Institutions are buying crazily:

BlackRock bought 12,500 BTC this month, a single purchase of $327 million, big whales indeed have the funds;

The US spot ETF saw a net inflow of $912 million in a single day, hitting a new high for the year, institutions are FOMO in action.

2. Fed's divine assistance:

On April 25, two crypto regulatory documents were suddenly revoked, banks can engage in crypto business without approval, directly opening the green light for institutions;

The dollar index has dropped to 99.5, inflation is cooling, and funds are rushing into the crypto circle for safe haven.

3. Trump causing disturbances:

Old Trump stated it's 'unlikely to pause tariffs', trade protection policies are pushing funds towards gold and BTC, gold prices have surged to $3,500, and BTC is following the trend.

4. Operating Strategy: Steady yet bold

1. Short-term Traders:

Don’t rush to chase highs near the current price, wait for a pullback to $93,000-$94,000 to accumulate in batches;

Target above $96,500 for partial profit-taking, must stop loss if it falls below $91,500.

2. Long-term believers:

DCA continues! Small purchases weekly/monthly, ignore short-term fluctuations, and accumulate until the bull market explodes after the halving;

Configuration suggestion: BTC + ETH + stablecoin combination, diversifying risks while seizing altcoin rebound opportunities.

3. Risk Warning:

Trump's tariff policy and the SEC suddenly ramping up regulation (like ETF delays) could trigger a flash crash;

On-chain data shows that whale addresses are accumulating around $94,000, but retail FOMO sentiment is overheated, be wary of spikes.

5. Summary: Surge or Pullback? Watch these two signals

Breaking $97,500: $100,000 is in sight, go for it!

If it falls below $93,000: Quickly reduce positions, wait for the $88,500 bottom-fishing opportunity.

Final reminder: Don't let emotions control your pace, position management is more important than predictions!
