Currently, the total cryptocurrency market cap is $3.34 trillion, with BTC accounting for 61.55%, which is $2.06 trillion.Stablecoin market cap is $251.5 billion, with a 7-day increase of 0.63%, of which USDT accounts for 62.14%.

This week, BTC price shows range-bound oscillation, currently at $105,300; ETH also shows range-bound oscillation, currently at $2,551.

CoinMarketCap Among the top 200 projects, a small portion rose while most declined, including: KAIA with a 7-day increase of 45.16%, AERO with a 7-day increase of 45.15%, AB with a 7-day increase of 43.15%, RVN with a 7-day increase of 43.63%.

The "Fear & Greed Index" on June 14 was 52 (higher than last week), with market sentiment: 4 days neutral, 3 days greedy.

Market Forecast:

This week saw continued stablecoin issuance, significant net inflows into US Bitcoin spot ETF, and net inflows into Ethereum spot ETF. 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 price is expected to be in the range of $102,000-$107,000 next week. The current Israel-Iran conflict is quite sharp, and in the short term, the market may experience a downturn due to its impact. However, in the long term, the bull market is preparing for its final sprint. If the US stablecoin bill is officially passed in August and the Federal Reserve cuts rates in September, it may trigger a significant price increase. Currently, it is recommended to buy on dips.
