Odaily Planet Daily News Bitfinex Alpha Report pointed out that last week, Bitcoin continued to trade in a multi-week range, and the price even fell below the weekly opening price at one point, but closed up 4.2%. With volatility compression and reduced liquidity, Bitcoin's short-term price trend increasingly reflects the behavior of macro-sensitive assets. Daily exchange inflows have also fallen by more than 54% from the cycle peak, reflecting investors' general hesitation and declining short-term risk appetite. As Bitcoin consolidates near the lower end of its range, price changes may depend on new institutional flows and macro clarity, especially in terms of liquidity conditions and central bank policies.
Last week, the cryptocurrency industry underwent a major shift, indicating increasing institutional support and regulatory clarity. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission officially withdrew its lawsuit against Ripple Labs, ending years of legal disputes over the status of XRP. Trump became the first U.S. president to speak at a cryptocurrency summit, calling for stablecoin legislation, confirming strategic Bitcoin reserves, and promising regulatory clarity, which also reflects that a mature crypto industry is entering a new stage of compliance and growth.
