New Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh faces the dual challenges of rising inflation and pressure from Trump to cut interest rates right from the start of his tenure. The annualized consumer inflation rate has risen to 3.8%, the highest since May 2023, with the Iran war driving up energy prices as the main factor. Last week, wholesale price increases even outpaced those on the consumer side. On Friday, the futures market began pricing in interest rate hikes within the year, as expectations for rate cuts have largely faded. Walsh himself is a staunch inflation hawk. After leaving the Fed in 2011 to take an academic position, he has repeatedly criticized the "easy money" policies of the Bernanke, Yellen, and Powell eras in opinion pieces, advocating for a more "restrained" policy to shrink the Fed's balance sheet. He believes the Fed's prolonged easy monetary policy is the root cause of current inflation pressures. However, given the high inflation, his room to cut rates is extremely limited. Meanwhile, the Fed's rate decision committee is no longer unified. Former Chair Powell, replaced by Trump, still retains voting rights as a board member. Powell has stated he will not leave until the investigation into his congressional testimony regarding the cost of the Fed's new headquarters is resolved — an investigation initiated by Trump that once delayed Walsh's appointment process. Trump is appointing Walsh while simultaneously pressuring for rate cuts. But if Walsh follows through, it would directly contradict his consistently advocated policy stance. The Iran war has entered its third month with an uncertain trajectory; if oil prices break $200 per barrel, the U.S. economy could face a risk similar to the 1970s "stagflation."

CryptoQuant analysts Axel Adler and analyst Lele posted that Bitcoin has recently attempted to break through around $82,000 three times but has retreated each time. Data shows that during each rebound, the STH-SOPR indicator rises to near 1.0 before weakening again, indicating that short-term holders are continuously taking profits during the rally rather than holding on. Axel Adler points out that $82,000 is not only a key technical resistance level but also an important selling pressure zone from a market behavior perspective. This level coincides with Bitcoin's 200-day moving average (200D SMA). Until the STH-SOPR SMA(7) remains above 1.0 for several consecutive days and BTC's daily chart effectively breaks above the 200-day moving average, market rebounds may still be viewed as selling opportunities. On the macro level, escalating tensions in the Middle East continue to suppress market risk appetite. Influenced by the Iran conflict, rising oil prices, and expectations of "higher interest rates lasting longer," U.S. stocks closed lower across the board on Friday, WTI crude oil futures rose over 4%, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield climbed to about 4.6%, hitting a new high for the year.

Mars Finance reports, according to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin recently fell below $79,000 after facing significant selling pressure near $82,000. Market analysis suggests that the current BTC trend is highly correlated with the US small-cap stock index, indicating it is still viewed by the market as a "risk asset" rather than a safe haven. Analysis points out that the escalation of the situation in Iran, rising oil prices, and global recession concerns continue to suppress market risk appetite. Meanwhile, Bitcoin perpetual contract funding rates have recently turned negative, indicating a clear lack of leveraged long demand, and traders remain cautious about short-term gains. However, the report believes that in the medium term, large-scale outflows from the fixed income market may actually benefit BTC. As global government bond yields reach multi-decade highs, investors are gradually withdrawing from the bond market, with some liquidity potentially flowing back into risk assets including Bitcoin. Currently, the 10-year government bond yields in the US and Europe have both risen to multi-year highs, while Brent crude oil prices have also surpassed $100, intensifying market concerns over inflation and economic pressure. $ETH $SOL $LAB #韩国三星劳资谈判破裂 #SpaceX首轮IPO倒计时：链上定价权争夺再启

Is there any good news about $HYPE recently? Yesterday BTC fell below $78,000, pulling back a bit. Today it rose back to 42.66. Yesterday, a trading expert told me to go long on $AI and HYPE, but I only went long on one and recovered the losses from yesterday's liquidation. I should listen more to the experts' advice in the future!

Oh my god, no wonder he's the top long position holder Brother Maji just opened another $250,000 ETH long position, truly unlimited ammo, once again making a big move to increase his bullish stance on ETH. The financial confidence is maxed out, the long-term outlook is fully set! So bold! This financial strength is really shocking! The big boss's moves always make people admire! Previously, losses had reached nearly $32 million, yet he continues to heavily invest in ETH and BTC long positions. Could there really be a reversal? I'm going long too 🤣

Bitcoin (BTC) continued its decline on Saturday. Iran's threat to impose transit fees on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz put pressure on global risk assets. A two-day sell-off has wiped out over $80 billion in cryptocurrency market value. This pioneering cryptocurrency traded near $77,947 after falling below $78,000. Reports indicate that leveraged long positions absorbed the majority of $620 million in liquidations within 24 hours. Profit-taking slide after CLARITY vote Saturday's rally followed a sharp drop earlier this week. The Senate Banking Committee passed the CLARITY Act on Wednesday with a 15-9 vote, briefly pushing BTC above $82,000 before profit-taking set in. Bitcoin (BTC) price performance. Source: TradingView Analyst Harris described this reversal as a typical profit-taking move. Traders had spent weeks digesting regulatory progress expectations, and the committee's formal vote removed that catalyst. Hopes for a more lenient tariff policy at the US-China summit also faded. President Donald Trump stated that no such discussions took place, causing US stocks and cryptocurrencies to fall in tandem. Exchange dashboards show that long positions currently account for most liquidations, with over $469 million in positions wiped out in the past 24 hours. Total cryptocurrency liquidations. Source: Coinglass "BTC dropped $3,800 within 48 hours, falling below $78,000. BTC's market cap evaporated by $80 billion in just two days. Over $620 million in long positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours," analyst Bull Theory recently stated. Iran's Strait of Hormuz toll plan intensifies geopolitical pressure Saturday's macroeconomic outlook remained bleak. Iran is moving forward with a toll system for vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for maritime oil transport accounting for about one-fifth of global seaborne oil shipments. Iranian official Ebrahim Aziz outlined the policy framework in a public statement: "Within its national sovereignty framework... Iran has established a specialized mechanism to manage traffic on designated routes in the Strait of Hormuz... Only commercial ships and parties cooperating with Iran can benefit. Necessary fees will be charged for specialized services provided under this mechanism." Iranian state media reported that ships from China, Japan, and Pakistan have passed through the Strait of Hormuz with Tehran's permission. Some European operators are reportedly seeking similar permits. Iran's domestic situation continues to deteriorate. Analyst Miad Maleki cited Vortexa data showing Iranian crude exports have dropped by over 80% since mid-March. He added that fuel rationing has caused hours-long queues at gas stations, with a growing black market for gasoline. Analyst Babak Vahdad noted that Pakistan's Interior Minister Moeen Naqvi has arrived in Tehran for an unannounced meeting. This visit comes amid informal diplomacy between Iran and the US over confrontation issues. Bears blame macroeconomic drag, while some traders remain cautious. Not all traders see the news as the main catalyst. Ivan on Tech believes BTC has been in a weekly downtrend since October. He argues that news flow no longer impacts its fundamental structure. "We've been in a bear market since October. Good news can't lift the market in a bear market, just as bad news can't crush it in a bull market... Don't expect any news to boost the market unless there's a high-volume sell-off candle and a trend reversal," the analyst said. Prediction market Kalshi shows traders expect further Bitcoin price declines. Bettors on the platform see a 60% chance BTC will fall below $75,000 by the end of the month. Lower price ranges are also attracting significant attention. Analyst Mario Naval questioned Iran's overall claim, stating that charging fees in international waters constitutes a sovereignty claim unlikely to be recognized by other governments. BTC currently trades about 38% below its October high of $126,080. Bitcoin's recent retest of geopolitical tensions highlights how quickly macro shocks now impact cryptocurrency prices. @OKX中文 @OKX星球 #CLARITY法案：委员会15:9表决通过

Although not in South Korea, witnessing strike after strike erupt firsthand truly reveals the deep-seated anxiety hidden beneath this country's polished exterior. It's not just Samsung Electronics; strikes are becoming normalized across Hyundai, healthcare systems, logistics, public infrastructure, and various industries. Outsiders only see South Koreans' relatively high per capita income and orderly cities, but only those rooted here understand the exhaustion of everyone stretched to their breaking point. For a long time, South Korea's survival logic has been extremely singular: fiercely compete in education, squeeze into SKY universities, rush into chaebol conglomerates, and secure a ticket to a stable life. Samsung is the most solid safety net in the hearts of ordinary Koreans, the ultimate destination countless families have pursued for half their lives. But now, that safety net is beginning to crack. Under the AI semiconductor boom, Samsung's profits from HBM and computing chips have surged, publicly proclaiming technological revival and industrial takeoff, but most of the dividends flow to capital and the elite, while grassroots employees feel the exact opposite. Seoul's rent, daily prices, and living costs have soared year after year, wages have only slightly increased, failing to keep pace with inflation and asset price growth. Young people work overtime desperately, endure extreme internal competition, but in the end, their savings can't keep up with housing prices; after years of struggle, they still see no hope of settling down. In the past, people were willing to endure high-pressure workplaces and endless competition because they believed that entering a big company meant effort would be rewarded. Now, this social consensus that has sustained South Korea for decades is completely collapsing. South Korea is an export-driven economy tied to chaebols, with Samsung as the ballast stone of its economy. The intensifying labor-capital conflicts within Samsung have never been just about wage disputes but a warning that the entire chaebol model is reaching a turning point. Externally, it must face the global chip battles with TSMC and SK Hynix; internally, public anxiety spreads and resistance rises; with a weak global economy, high interest rates, and semiconductor cycle fluctuations, South Korea's heavy reliance on external markets means its margin for error is shrinking. On the surface, politeness and restraint remain, streets are clean and orderly, but at the bottom lies spreading despair: the "three no's" generation grows—no dating, no marriage, no childbirth becoming mainstream; companies worry about global competition, ordinary people worry about survival and the future. This large-scale Samsung strike is essentially a total eruption of South Korea's long-term internal competition, class solidification, and wealth distribution imbalance. When even the elite workers of the nation's core enterprise begin to question the meaning of effort, the entire society's sense of security has been thoroughly shaken. $BTC $ETH $SOL #韩国三星劳资谈判破裂
