比特币在短暂突破 64,000 美元之后,目前仍保持在 63,000 美元的低位,尽管 Strategy 进行了大量抛售并被市场大部分吸收,但每周涨幅仍扩大了约 6%。
价格从 6 月下旬接近 58,000 美元的低点反弹之际,机构期货活动减少,下行期权保护变得异常昂贵,导致一些衍生品交易商看到了后期冲蚀的迹象。
尽管比特币最近与下滑的人工智能和芯片股脱钩,但霍尔木兹海峡附近发生新的袭击后油价上涨以及亚洲科技股再度疲软增加了宏观不确定性。
周二,比特币在隔夜突破 64,000 美元的突破消退后,维持在 63,000 美元的低位,这一往返使得该代币当天基本持平,但一周内仍上涨约 6%。
根据 CoinDesk 的数据,比特币交易价格约为 63,170 美元,此前曾在凌晨触及 64,400 美元并回落。尽管Strategy本周披露,它以约2.16亿美元的价格出售了3,588个比特币,这是自放弃永不出售立场以来的最大一笔交易,市场在没有破坏复苏的情况下基本上吸收了这些比特币。
以太坊价格维持在 1,770 美元附近,本周上涨 11.6%,而 XRP 和 solana 将大部分周涨幅保持在 1.13 美元和 80 美元。大多数专业在领先前一周的涨幅后当天几乎没有变化。
尽管根基依然薄弱,但复苏已然稳固。比特币在 6 月底跌至近 58,000 美元的 21 个月低点,并已回升至 60,000 美元低点,上半年收盘下跌约 20%,首次周收盘价低于 2023 年以来的长期趋势线 200 周移动平均线,这是反弹而不是崩溃。
一些衍生品交易员将这次冲蚀视为后期而不是早期。
ARP Digital 合伙人 Yusuf Fakhro 表示:“机构买盘几乎消失了。”他指出,CME 期货未平仓合约处于 32 个月低点,期限结构处于 2023 年初以来最紧的水平。
他补充说,六个月期期权偏差(衡量交易者为防止下跌而支付的费用的指标)已飙升至有记录以来的第四高水平,唯一的相似之处是在 2022 年 6 月和 2022 年 11 月,这两次期权均接近主要周期底部。
他表示,当下行保险变得如此昂贵时,市场就会为保护付出代价,就像最坏的情况可能已经被定价一样。
一夜之间,石油重新进入市场。据彭博社报道,一艘满载液化天然气运输船在离开霍尔木兹海峡时在阿曼海岸附近被一枚弹丸击中,布伦特原油价格上涨 0.6%,至每桶约 72.45 美元,这是一次新的袭击,考验着 6 月底达成的和平协议。
今年早些时候,与伊朗冲突相关的能源冲击推动了加密货币的抛售,随后休战协议缓解了这些冲击,而重新爆发的宏观风险已经从市场的视野中消失。
随着科技股再次遭到抛售,亚洲股市下跌,韩国综合股价指数下跌 6.7%。尽管季度利润大幅增长,但三星电子仍下跌 8.3%,SK 海力士在开始推销美国上市后也出现了同样的跌幅。美国期货走低,表明周一华尔街的反弹可能不会持续。
在今年的大部分时间里,人工智能和芯片股的疲软拖累了加密货币市场的下跌,而本周,两者已经分道扬镳,随着股市下跌,比特币保持稳定。
这种独立性是否持续,以及 ETF 资金流入是否增加,将决定 58,000 美元的反弹是否成为基础或消退。霍尔木兹地区新的石油风险是新的变量——提醒人们,上半年加密货币遭受重创的宏观背景尚未完全消除。
Bitcoin is holding in the low $63,000s after a brief push above $64,000, extending a roughly 6 percent weekly gain despite a large sale by Strategy that the market largely absorbed.
The rebound from late-June lows near $58,000 comes as institutional futures activity has thinned and downside options protection has become unusually expensive, leading some derivatives traders to see signs of a late-stage washout.
Rising oil prices after a fresh attack near the Strait of Hormuz and renewed weakness in Asian tech shares add macro uncertainty, even as bitcoin has recently decoupled from sliding AI and chip stocks.
Bitcoin held in the low $63,000s on Tuesday after an overnight push above $64,000 faded, a round trip that left the token roughly flat on the day but still up about 6% over the week.
Bitcoin traded around $63,170, per CoinDesk data, after touching $64,400 in the early hours and slipping back. The move came despite Strategy's disclosure this week that it sold 3,588 bitcoin for about $216 million, its largest sale since abandoning its never-sell stance, which the market largely absorbed without breaking the recovery.
Ether held near $1,770, up 11.6% on the week, while XRP and solana kept most of their weekly gains at $1.13 and $80. Most majors were little changed on the day after leading the prior week's advance.
The recovery has firmed even as its footing stays thin. Bitcoin fell to a 21-month low near $58,000 at the end of June and has clawed back into the low $60,000s, a bounce rather than a breakdown after a first half it closed down about 20%, with its first weekly close below the 200-week moving average, a long-term trend line, since 2023.
Some derivatives traders read the washout as late-stage rather than early.
"The institutional bid has all but vanished," said Yusuf Fakhro, partner at ARP Digital, pointing to CME futures open interest at a 32-month low and a term structure at its tightest since early 2023.
He added that six-month options skew, a measure of how much traders pay to protect against a drop, has spiked to its fourth-highest on record, with the only parallels in June and November 2022, both of which came near major cycle bottoms.
When downside insurance gets this expensive, he said, the market is paying up for protection just as the worst may already be priced in.
Oil re-entered the picture overnight. Brent crude rose 0.6% to about $72.45 a barrel after a laden liquefied natural gas carrier was struck by a projectile near the Omani coast as it left the Strait of Hormuz, according to Bloomberg, a fresh attack that tests the peace deal reached in late June.
Energy shocks tied to the Iran conflict drove crypto's selling earlier this year before the truce eased them, and a renewed flare-up is the kind of macro risk that had faded from the market's view.
Elsewhere, Asian shares fell as technology stocks came under renewed selling, with South Korea's Kospi down 6.7%, according to Bloomberg. Samsung Electronics slid 8.3% even after quarterly profit surged, and SK Hynix fell the same as it began marketing a U.S. listing. U.S. futures pointed lower, suggesting Monday's Wall Street rebound may not carry.
For most of the year, weakness in AI and chip stocks pulled crypto markets down with it, and this week the two have moved apart, with bitcoin steady as equities slid.
Whether that independence lasts, and whether the ETF inflows build, will decide if the bounce off $58,000 becomes a base or fades. The renewed oil risk out of Hormuz is the new variable - a reminder that the macro backdrop that battered crypto in the first half has not fully cleared.
