BTC staged a strong rebound last night, surging from a 24-hour low of $76,133 to a high of $79,473. It touched a two-week high of $79,321 this morning (4/23 00:01) and is currently trading at $78,357 (+2.63%). ETH followed the upward trend, currently trading at $2,370 (+1.93%). Over the past 24 hours, $459 million in liquidations occurred across the network, with short positions suffering a massive wipeout of $350 million (76% of the total), while BTC shorts alone accounted for $190 million. The catalyst for this market move was Trump's announcement of an indefinite extension of the US-Iran ceasefire, which triggered a rapid recovery in risk appetite and pushed the three major US stock indices to record highs. Institutional momentum also strengthened, with BTC spot ETFs seeing net inflows for 5 consecutive days, and Strategy making a massive single-purchase addition of over 34,000 BTC. The Fear & Greed Index has recovered from an "Extreme Fear" level of 11 last month to 46 today, indicating that market sentiment is accelerating its recovery.

Total holdings exceed 714,000 BTC, unfazed by major market correction) BTC launched a fierce counterattack last night—surging from a 24-hour low of $76,133 to a peak of $79,473, and briefly hitting $79,321 at 00:01 this morning, marking a two-week high. As of this morning Taipei time, it is trading at $78,357, a daily gain of 2.63%. ETH followed closely, rebounding from a low of $2,313 to a high of $2,424, currently trading at $2,370 (+1.93%), about 3% away from its 14-day peak of $2,451 on 4/18. The sharp rally triggered a liquidation of short positions. Total network liquidations over the past 24 hours reached $459 million, with $350 million in shorts (76%) and $109 million in longs. By asset, BTC saw $190 million in short liquidations and $23.58 million in long liquidations; ETH saw $94.49 million in short liquidations and $28.68 million in long liquidations. The largest single liquidation was the BTCUSDT contract on Binance, amounting to $7.51 million. Notably, liquidations in the last hour rose to $50.63 million, with long positions accounting for $37.84 million (74.7%), suggesting that long positions near the highs have been washed out during the short-term pullback, and short-term volatility risks remain. The trigger for this rebound was the cooling of geopolitical tensions—Trump announced an indefinite extension of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, causing global risk assets to recover immediately. US stocks closed at record highs on 4/22: S&P 500 closed at 7,137.90 (+1.05%), Nasdaq at 24,657.57 (+1.64%), and the Dow Jones at 49,490.03 (+0.69%), with tech stocks leading the overall sentiment boost. Institutional capital flows remain strong. BTC spot ETFs have seen net inflows for 5 consecutive trading days, with $238 million in net inflows on 4/21, including $214 million into BlackRock's IBIT alone. Last week's cumulative inflow reached $996 million, marking the largest single-week net inflow since mid-January. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) disclosed a large-scale addition this week: a single purchase of 34,164 BTC, the largest single buy since the end of 2024. Additionally, the White House revealed that the specific framework for the "US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" is expected to be officially announced within two months, and policy expectations are expected to continue providing support for the bulls. Solana (SOL) is currently trading at $86.72 (+0.44%), with a 24-hour range between $85.
