#数字资产市场动态 BTC this week played out a classic rally and pullback scenario — starting the week heading straight for $97,000, but then hit by profit-taking and the Federal Reserve's "pause on rate cuts" signal, resulting in a sharp decline, finally closing at $95,147, still up 4.3% for the week.



Basically, it's a tug-of-war between institutional and macro expectations. On the ETF side, continuous inflows are happening, with $840 million entering in a single day on January 15th. Products from BlackRock and Fidelity are selling hot, and institutions are bottom-fishing around the $94,000-$94,500 range, forming a clear support zone. However, Federal Reserve officials are hinting that rate cuts might be delayed, which deflates risk asset sentiment, leading to sell-offs around $97,000, making it hard for bulls to push higher.

From a technical perspective, the $95,000 level is now a battleground between bulls and bears. The trading strategy is: buy low around $94,500-$95,000, sell high around $96,500-$97,000, with a stop-loss set at a break below $94,000.

The next focus is on the Federal Reserve's next move and where ETF funds will flow. If trading volume picks up and the price breaks above $97,000, the $100,000 mark could be within reach; conversely, if support is broken, be prepared for a move toward $91,000-$92,000.

The Federal Reserve is really just one step away from writing "I want to eat your long position" on their face. Every time it hits 97,000, it turns back. It cracks me up.

The Federal Reserve is causing trouble again, really ruining the mood... 97,000 is gone just like that. Luckily, institutions are supporting the bottom, or it would be even worse. The 94,500 support can't be broken again. If it breaks further, it's time to run and prepare.

The Fed's move is really clever; a signal to pause rate cuts directly shattered the dream of 97,000. Institutions are holding firm at 94,500, so we'll just stay here and wait, since ETFs are still aggressively absorbing.

The Federal Reserve is really a market killer. Just as it was about to break 100,000, it was forcibly pulled back. The strength of this institutional capital inflow still can't withstand the impact of macroeconomic expectations.
