1. Direction Variables | Macro and Policy — Is the Trend Changing?
Status: Neutral leaning bullish (not broken)
The probability of the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates in January is 81.7%, with a 43.2% chance of a cumulative 25bp rate cut in March.
Multiple voting members signal that there is still room for rate cuts within the year.
The Bank of Japan and major global economies are simultaneously entering the tail end of tightening / structural shift phase.
🔎 Variable Conclusion: Liquidity expectations remain intact, the trend foundation is still there, but it is not a strongly stimulative environment.
2. Intensity Variables | Institutional and Capital Behavior — Is There "Real Buying"?
Status: Continuous inflow (low-key but clear)
BlackRock BTC ETF net daily purchase of $287 million.
Bank of America officially allows wealth advisors to allocate up to 4% in BTC.
Goldman Sachs & BlackRock emphasize simultaneously: Stablecoins and crypto infrastructure have become structural components of the financial system.
🔎 Variable Conclusion: This is long-term, strategic capital, not short-term trading, and the pullback is more like rebalancing rather than retreat.
3. Volatility Variables | Market Structure — Why Are Price Movements So Volatile?
Status: Low spot liquidity + high leverage
Spot trading volume has fallen to the lowest in nearly a year.
24h total liquidation of $522 million, with a very high proportion of shorts.
Multiple instances of "main explosion of short positions" structure.
🔎 Variable Conclusion: Current volatility mainly stems from derivatives congestion, not deteriorating fundamentals. Market movements can be amplified, but the direction is still determined by spot and institutional players.
4. Persistence Variables | On-Chain and Technical — How Far Can the Trend Go?
Status: ETH fundamentals improving
Ethereum Gas fees hit a historic low.
Vitalik explicitly states: advancing the "Impossible Triangle" breakthrough through code.
L2 solutions (Arbitrum, Starknet) activity and stability are rebounding.
USDC transfer volume on Arbitrum +80% YoY.
🔎 Variable Conclusion: ETH is in the early stage of experience improvement → application expansion → revaluation, not sensitive in the short term, with the mid-term upper limit being decided.
5. Disturbance Variables | Geopolitical and Policy Black Swans — Will They Affect Assets?
Status: Sentiment disturbance, not the main trend
Venezuela incident involves potential BTC national reserves and seizure risks.
Energy, Bitcoin, and geopolitics are intertwined.
🔎 Variable Conclusion: Creates short-term volatility, but in the medium to long term, it reinforces BTC's asset properties at the national level.
