The weekend market has plenty of both “bright spots” and “hidden mines”—let’s go through them one by one.

First, the big picture: BTC is currently trading at $72,976, up about +1% in 24 hours. ETH is at $2,245, up +2.24%. But the fear and greed index is only 15 / extreme fear—this is a very contradictory signal: prices are rising while sentiment is falling. The Bollinger Bands have tightened to the lowest level since the beginning of 2024, meaning a burst of violent volatility on the order of ±40% is building up, just waiting for a fuse to be lit.

Black swan: it could suddenly be triggered over the weekend!

1 Iran war + Strait of Hormuz are the most watched macro risks. The Iran–US ceasefire talks are still fragile. Once the talks break down or the Strait of Hormuz is blocked again, global energy prices could surge, and risk assets—including the crypto market—will face heavy sell pressure. Liquidity is extremely low over the weekend, so any plunge will likely be even more severe.
2 World Liberty Financial liquidation risk: A project under the Trump family used 500 billion WLFI tokens as collateral to borrow $750 million from Dolomite. Although the official side denies liquidation risk, the market often labels it as “FUD,” which is usually a precursor to price declines—if the WLFI price keeps falling, collateral devaluation could trigger cascading liquidations.
3 Circle stock price collapse: Circle fell -9.9% in a single day, and the decline over the past month is already -24%. Behind this is an investigation into the Drift Protocol vulnerability #Gate现货衍生品双双冲进全球前三
