Odaily News Analyst Ansem posted on X platform, stating that a "quite astonishing data point" shows that compared to the strategy of holding a single long HYPE position against the US dollar, a paired trading strategy of going long Hyperliquid (HYPE) while simultaneously shorting Bitcoin (BTC) has actually delivered better performance so far this year. This result suggests that in the current market structure, relative strength trading may offer higher returns than directional bets on a single asset. It also reflects the intensified rotation and beta divergence within the crypto space, with the return structure between BTC and high-volatility altcoins showing clear stratification.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated on platform X that during this correction, large investors holding more than 1 Bitcoin are taking advantage of the price decline to increase their positions. Their total BTC holdings have reached a new all-time high, exceeding 16.8 million coins, indicating that long-term allocation demand continues to strengthen and further reflecting the institutionalization trend of Bitcoin as an asset.Data shows that the holdings of this type of investor have continued to rise, suggesting that market participants are more inclined towards asset allocation from a long-term perspective rather than short-term trading.At the retail level, analysis indicates signs of re-accumulation are emerging, but the overall sentiment remains cautious. Current retail holdings are approximately 1.7 million BTC, still below the all-time high recorded in December 2023. Some retail investors chose to take profits during the previous price rally, while others may have adjusted their exposure through more convenient channels such as ETFs.The analysis suggests that although the behavioral pace differs among various investor groups, the market as a whole is gradually forming a consensus that the current phase is more suited for a long-term allocation window. The trend of funds re-entering the accumulation phase is strengthening.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler stated that Bitcoin weakened rapidly after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 3.50%-3.75% and released a relatively hawkish dot plot, falling below the $64,000 mark and dropping about 4% from its intraday high.This meeting marked the Fed's fourth consecutive pause, but the latest dot plot indicates a significant shift towards a hawkish policy path: several officials now expect the possibility of further rate hikes this year, further diminishing the market's pricing of "rate cut expectations." Analysts believe this change has a greater impact than the rate decision itself, directly suppressing risk asset valuations.Market data shows that Bitcoin initially surged to around $66,400 following the announcement, before quickly reversing downward amid heavy selling pressure, hitting a low of approximately $63,870. Trading volume notably expanded, indicating active selling-driven declines. The price is currently consolidating near the lower end of the $63,600–$64,000 range, with no significant inbound capital from bargain hunting.In stark contrast is gold's performance. Spot gold rapidly recovered after briefly dipping to around $4,220, climbing back above the $4,300 level to trade near $4,321, demonstrating strong defensive attributes and capital absorption capacity. Even against a backdrop of easing geopolitical risks, safe-haven demand remains resilient.Market participants pointed out that the core divergence in this round of reaction lies in the repricing of asset attributes: gold completed a swift recovery under the same macroeconomic shock, while Bitcoin failed to reclaim the key level of $64,000, highlighting the higher sensitivity of risk assets to "higher-for-longer interest rates."Overall, the market is transitioning from a phase of "loose expectations supporting risk assets" to one of "hawkish path suppressing valuations," with short-term risk appetite clearly cooling. The key observation point is whether Bitcoin can re-enter the $64,000–$65,000 range with volume confirming stability; otherwise, a weak consolidation structure may persist.
