Market Forecast:

This week, stablecoins continued to be issued, with significant net inflows into US Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs. BTC and ETH remain range-bound. The RSI index is 39.65, showing weakness, with the Altcoin season index at 24. The US May CPI and PPI indices were in line with market expectations, and the impact of tariffs on inflation has not yet been apparent. The Fear & Greed Index remains between neutral and greedy.

The probability of the Federal Reserve cutting rates by 25 basis points in June is only 2.2%, with rate cuts expected to begin in Q3 this year. The market has absorbed the expectation of no rate cut in June, so next week's rate announcement will not have a significant impact. BTC's price is expected to be in the range of $102,000-$107,000. The current Israel-Iran conflict is quite sharp, and in the short term, the market may decline due to its impact. However, in the long term, the bull market is brewing for its final sprint. If the US stablecoin bill is officially passed in August and the Federal Reserve cuts rates in September, a significant rally is expected. Currently, it is recommended to buy on dips.
