🏛 [Macro and Geo: Free Plan fluctuations and Non-Farm pressure]
⭐️ 📅 'Freedom Plan' Launch Paused from 5/4-5/5: Trump announced the initiation of the 'Freedom Plan' to secure the Strait of Hormuz, causing oil prices to spike; however, just a day later, due to 'significant progress in US-Iran agreements,' the action was urgently paused, and WTI oil prices quickly fell back to $92.50.
⭐️ 📅 Negotiations Break Down Again on 5/11: Trump suddenly declared Iran's peace proposal 'completely unacceptable' on Sunday, causing oil prices to rebound to $98.44 as geopolitical risks reignite, raising concerns of stagflation.
📅 April Non-Farm Payrolls Beat Expectations: April added 115,000 jobs (far exceeding the expected 65,000), showcasing a robust labor market, which lowered the probability of rate cuts for the second half; the 30-year US Treasury yield approaches 5%.
💰 [Major Events in Crypto: Broad Market Fluctuations at High Levels and Altcoin Divergence]
⭐️ 📅 BTC's $80K Battle: Despite the macro headwinds, BTC has shown strong resilience, oscillating widely between $80,000 and $82,700, with a weekly gain of 2.3%, successfully holding the historic $80K mark. ⭐️ 📅 SUI/TON Lead the Charge: During BTC's fluctuations, altcoins have experienced significant divergence. SUI soared 24% driven by institutional staking and DeepBook market excitement; JUP skyrocketed 73%; TON also strengthened against the trend due to ecosystem network upgrades.
📅 Sentiment Indicator Recovery: The Fear & Greed Index stabilizes around 49 (fear/neutral borderline), with market sentiment having recovered from previous extreme fear, and the BTC MVRV indicator stands at 1.515, remaining in the fair valuation range.
🏢 [Institutional Movements and Legal Events]
⭐️ 📅 Clarity Act Vote Looms: The major legislation covering stablecoins and DeFi regulation (Clarity Act) is set for a historic vote in the Senate Banking Committee on May 14, seen as a turning point for crypto legislation.
📅 Fed Chair Transition Countdown: Kevin Warsh is about to take over from Powell, and his 'inflation hawk + long-term dove' complex policy stance has left the market divided about liquidity expectations for the second half.
📅 Global Regulation Accelerates: Pakistan officially rolls out the (2026 Virtual Asset Bill) clarifying AML requirements; the US CFTC announces the formation of an AI and predictive market innovation team.
📊 [Market Review: Broad Market Stays Strong, Oil Price Fluctuations]
⭐️ Crypto Stays Strong: BTC closes up at $81,535 (+2.3%); ETH shows relative weakness closing at $2,359 (+1.57%); total liquidations across the network exceeded $420 million.
Traditional Game: WTI crude oil experiences a wild rollercoaster ride influenced by Trump's fluctuating stance on Iran, trading between $92 and $98.
On-Chain Resilience: Ethereum's TVL slightly dipped to $299 billion, while Solana's TVL remained stable around $25 billion, with the DeFi ecosystem holding up against macro fluctuations.
