3. Key Drivers

1. Geopolitical Conflict: US-Iran sanctions escalation, shipping risks in the Strait of Hormuz increase, safe-haven funds flow into gold and crude oil, suppressing high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies.

2. Macro Liquidity: US dollar index strengthens (99.09, +0.72%), US Treasury yields rise, Fed rate cut expectations for March are delayed, liquidity outlook remains tight.

3. Institutional & Sentiment: BTC spot ETF funds continue to net outflow, institutional sentiment is cautious; high leverage in futures amplifies short-term volatility, chasing highs is extremely risky.

• Stop-Loss: Must execute on breakdown; if BTC breaks 69,500, close all short positions; if breaks 64,500, close all long positions.

• Overnight Positions: Not recommended due to high uncertainty from geopolitical and macro news.
