#数字货币市场洞察 December Market Analysis: Inflation Locked at 3%, $BTC $ETH Dual-Token Trading Strategy



The latest inflation data is about to be released, with market expectations locked at the 3% level. This is a critical juncture—the institutions previously bet on a rate cut of over 25 basis points, but now the inflation data has pinned down those expectations, severely compressing the room for easing. As a result, capital is starting to exit the crypto market and flowing en masse into more stable-yielding Japanese assets, tightening overall market liquidity.

The supply side story is just as tough: over the past 12 months, BTC has seen a net outflow of 403,200 coins. In theory, reduced supply should support prices. But things are different now—panic-driven chain reactions have completely overshadowed this positive factor.

[$BTC Technical Analysis]

The price has repeatedly faced resistance around the 9,200 level, and the 4-hour K-line has already broken the middle band support, with trading volume significantly shrinking. The key signal is a clear bearish engulfing pattern, with the KDJ indicator continuing to open downward into oversold territory—this suggests that downward momentum has not yet been exhausted.

Trading logic:
- 9,050 is the first rebound resistance; if it cannot hold here, the hourly chart will continue to weaken
- The 8,880 area can be considered for light long positions, as it is a manageable entry point for risk
- For shorts, focus on the 9,030-9,070 range; a break below targets 8,950-8,880, and a further drop looks to 8,760

[$ETH Short-Term Strategy]

Short positions can be placed between 3,118-3,137, with the first target at 3,080-3,033; if this level breaks as well, the next focus is on 2,978.

Overall, the backdrop of tightening liquidity remains. This round of decline may not be a one- or two-day event, and patience is needed to wait for confirmation of key support levels.
BTC-2.58%
ETH-6.36%

Liquidity is really tight. Is Japan's asset grabbing so aggressive? Feels like the crypto world will have to endure for a while.

Wait, are the institutions really copying Japanese bonds? The speed of this transfer is indeed a bit aggressive.

Inflation locked at 3%. Now institutions really have to take losses. All the crypto money is flowing to Japan to earn interest... Wait, over 400,000 BTC have flowed out and the price still can't be suppressed? Once panic sets in, no amount of positive news will help. Can 9050 really hold? Feels like 8880 is the real entry point. ETH only deserves to be bought on this dip if it drops to 2978. Getting in now is basically suicide. When liquidity is tight, the worst thing is a market dump. By then, all the support levels will be meaningless.

Talking about supply squeeze not being able to support the price again—I'm tired of hearing this argument. The key issue is still that this macro pressure can't be released.

Here comes another round of dumping. With so many institutions pulling out, it's really hard to hold on.

Oh no, it's another episode of the Bear Market Survival Guide. Inflation is stuck at 3%, institutions are running off to earn Japanese interest rates, and we're still here studying whether to try a long at 8880... Smiling while losing money on this trade is just too much.

Liquidity is tight and it’s pretty rough, but even with supply shrinking this much, it’s still getting slammed—just shows how intense the panic is.

Another round of technical analysis to fleece retail investors. Anyway, see you at 8880—don't miss it.

Wait, Japanese assets are this attractive right now? How come I didn't think of moving my positions over there to give it a try...

According to the database, it's been... how many days since institutions last bet more than 25 basis points during this downturn? This should be included in the Guinness World Records.
