Macro Event Focus Key Content Summary Market Interpretation
Fed Policy Shift (10.29) Announced an interest rate cut of 25 basis points (bp) and confirmed the end of Quantitative Tightening (QT) in December. Market expectation of improved liquidity, but Powell subsequently stated the December rate cut was "far from" certain, cooling dovish anticipation.
Fed Chair Nomination (10.27-30) The final five candidates for the Fed Chair were announced; Trump intends to nominate the successor by the end of the year. Treasury Secretary Bessant suggested the nominee might be determined before Christmas. Policy uncertainty remains, with the market continuously watching the new Chair's monetary policy stance.
Sino-US Leaders Meeting (10.30) Consensus reached to extend the trade truce period. Helps alleviate global trade tensions and creates a relatively stable macro environment for risk assets.
ECB Decision (10.30) The European Central Bank kept rates unchanged for the third consecutive time, maintaining the deposit rate at 2%. Shows a divergence from the Fed's policy, indicating varied policy paths among major global economies.
US Money Supply Hits New High (10.31) US M2 money supply surged to an all-time high of $22.212 trillion. A signal of ample liquidity, which is bullish for risk assets in the long term, though the market's short-term focus remains on interest rate policy.
OPEC+ Output Decision (11.2) Agreed to raise daily oil production by 137,000 barrels in December, but will pause output increases in the first quarter of next year. Maintains cautious management of the crude oil market, supporting price stability.

Market Metric Weekly Performance and Data Market Interpretation
Price Action Bitcoin (BTC) hit a high near the key resistance of $116,395 before correcting for four consecutive days to $106,314. The weekly loss totaled 3.49%. The market failed to sustain gains despite macro tailwinds (Fed rate cut), indicating significant internal selling pressure.
Market Sentiment/Technical BTC's daily price briefly broke below all EMA indicators, marking a clear escalation in market fear. BTC's divergence from the stock market (supported by earnings) suggests fragile crypto sentiment, exacerbated by sustained fear.
Volatility Implied volatility remains significantly higher than pre-October 11th liquidation event levels, though it has started to slowly retreat. The market has not fully digested the impact of the historical maximum liquidation event and is in a short-term repricing phase, but medium-term volatility is expected to normalize in the coming weeks.
Market Structure/Fund Flows Bitcoin Dominance surpassed 60%, continuing a 50-day consecutive uptrend. Altcoins corrected more severely than BTC. Indicates a continued contraction in market risk appetite, with capital increasingly concentrated in the mainstream asset (BTC).
On-Chain Behavior Long-Term Holders accelerated distribution, short-term panic selling slowed down, and bottom fishing capital remains cautious. Market structure is weak, showing large holders are selling into strength, while new buyers (bottom fishing capital) are hesitant.
 

Ⅲ. Key Support and Risk Forecast

 
  • Short-Term Support and Resistance:
    • If BTC fails to hold the 85% Short-Term Holder Average Cost (around $109,400), the market may enter a consolidation or ranging phase.
    • A break below the 75% Short-Term Holder Average Cost (around $98,700) could trigger a deeper correction.
  • Immediate Risks: The lack of clear direction in the macro environment, the ongoing US government shutdown, and uncertainty surrounding the Fed Chair nomination.
