After experiencing the baptism of geopolitical panic, the cryptocurrency market has finally ushered in a strong rebound. Benefiting from US President Donald Trump's announcement of an "indefinite extension" of the ceasefire agreement with Iran, BTC surged past the $78,000 mark today (22nd), shaking off the mire of recent volatility driven by news headlines. According to CoinGecko market data, BTC hit a high of $78,251 today, though it has pulled back to around $77,980 at the time of writing, marking a 2.9% increase over the past 24 hours and a 5.3% gain for the week. Major cryptocurrencies followed suit: ETH rose 3.6% to $2,392, XRP rose 1.7% to $1.45, BNB climbed 1.8% to $642, and Solana (SOL) rose 2.9% to $87.97. Following Trump's announcement of the ceasefire extension, risk aversion in traditional financial markets has also cooled significantly. S&P 500 futures rose 0.5% and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.6%, sweeping away the gloom of Tuesday's losses caused by the negotiation stalemate. Brent crude oil futures hovered around $98 per barrel, while the MSCI Asia Pacific Index fell 0.7%, indicating that Asian investors are assessing how much longer the Middle East conflict will persist. Regarding the breakdown in negotiations, Trump pointed the finger at Iranian authorities, stating that the leadership structure in Tehran is "severely divided." He also emphasized that the US would suspend new military strikes while continuing to maintain the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. In addition to the favorable macroeconomic environment, strong institutional buying has been a key driver of the price surge. Strategy announced yesterday (21st) that it had spent $2.54 billion to purchase an additional 34,164 BTC, marking its largest acquisition since November 2024. Market capital flows also confirm the strong return of the bulls. CoinShares data shows that global cryptocurrency funds attracted $1.4 billion last week, marking the strongest weekly net inflow since mid-January. Of this, BTC accounted for $1.12 billion, while ETH saw a net inflow of $328 million; Chainlink and Sui received $5 million and $2 million in inflows, respectively. From the perspective of market structure and on-chain data, two major signals point to an optimistic outlook. First, renowned analyst Darkfost pointed out that BTC has now firmly stood above the "short-term holder realized price" of approximately $69,400. This means that most investors who entered the market recently are in a profitable state; based on historical experience, this significantly reduces the probability of a "cascading liquidation" should market sentiment reverse. Second, the adoption by traditional institutions continues to rise. The latest survey by Nomura shows that as many as 65% of Japanese institutional investors have included BTC in their asset allocation to achieve portfolio diversification. Among them, 31% are optimistic about the prospects of the cryptocurrency market, and most institutions intend to allocate 2% to 5% of their portfolios to crypto assets within the next three years. Looking ahead, whether BTC can strongly hold the $77,000 level during the European trading session depends on how the market weighs the positive news of the "ceasefire extension" against the economic concerns of the "continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz." Technical analysis suggests that if BTC can break through the $80,000 mark in one go, it will confirm that the 46-day "funding rate convergence period" has officially transformed into a "short squeeze." Conversely, if the price reverses and falls below $75,000, it would imply that the market has already digested the news of the ceasefire extension, and this rally will need to find a new catalyst to provide support.
