Analysis: BTC's upward momentum is hindered, Japanese inflation data and the Iran war trigger market risk aversion

By: rootdata|2026/04/24 06:08:13

According to market news, the cryptocurrency market weakened overall on Friday, with BTC hovering around $77,800, and the upward trend that started at $65,000 since Wednesday has clearly slowed down; ETH is reported at $2,300, with a 24-hour decline of about 0.8%, underperforming BTC.

The market pressure mainly comes from two aspects: first, Japan's corporate service price index rose 3.1% year-on-year in March, exceeding expectations, and core inflation is also accelerating upward. The market expects the Bank of Japan may signal an interest rate hike at the next policy meeting, and a stronger yen could trigger the unwinding of carry trades in global risk assets; second, the ongoing war in Iran continues to disrupt oil transportation in the Strait of Hormuz, with WTI crude oil futures rising over 40% to $96 per barrel since the outbreak of the war. The U.S. Pentagon warns that clearing mines will take at least six months, and global inflationary pressures may persist, further compressing the Federal Reserve's space for interest rate cuts.
