Market Overview - The global cryptocurrency market experienced a significant rebound last week, with Bitcoin leading the recovery and most altcoins following suit. The market sentiment index rose from 55% to 79%, entering a technical bullish zone. The market capitalization of stablecoins continued to increase, with USDT and USDC reaching $145.7 billion and $61.9 billion, reflecting gains of 0.62% and 2.32% respectively, indicating accelerated institutional inflow [1][3]. Key Drivers - The core drivers of the market rebound were attributed to the easing of U.S. tariffs towards China, former President Trump's commitment to retaining Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, and the new SEC Chairman Paul Atkins' friendly stance towards the cryptocurrency industry. The reduction in policy uncertainty has stimulated a recovery in investor risk appetite, with U.S. funds becoming the main driving force [3][6]. Risks and Challenges - Despite the market's recovery, analysts from XBIT warned of two major risks: the potential stickiness of U.S. inflation which could delay interest rate cuts, and the possibility of fluctuating tariff policies towards China that may trigger a new wave of risk-off selling [6]. Sector Developments - The Solana Foundation recently introduced a new incentive policy for decentralized validators, requiring validators commissioned by the foundation to meet conditions such as "community staking below 1000 SOL" to reduce centralized staking monopolies. This policy has led to a 12% weekly increase in the number of validators, enhancing on-chain decentralization metrics [3][6]. Market Trends - The current focus is on whether SOL can break through technical resistance levels with institutional support and ETF benefits, while SNX needs to validate if the price of sUSD can return to $1 to rebuild trust. The dual interaction between traditional capital and public chain ecosystems is becoming a core driving force for the recovery of the cryptocurrency market [8]. Future Outlook - The technical indicators suggest that Bitcoin has stabilized above the 60-day moving average, with Ethereum experiencing continuous net inflows into its spot ETF. The structural opportunities within ecosystems like Solana may lead to a short-term continuation of the upward trend. The potential for a bull market in the second half of the year is being set up by this rebound [6][8].
