Macroeconomic indicators show a divergence, with the composite PMI preliminary value rising to a two-year high of 54.4, but input cost pressures still exist.

BIT released today's chart stating that the key to market analysis often lies in identifying the core factors driving asset price movements and observing when these factors begin to change.In the case of Bitcoin, the recent sustained rise has largely depended on the interplay between institutional demand and the market's available supply. Over the past year, spot Bitcoin ETFs and Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) have been significant sources of this demand. When ETF inflows accelerate and Strategy continues to accumulate Bitcoin, the price of Bitcoin typically continues to rise.Currently, the total net buying amount of ETFs and Strategy has dropped to only $870 million, primarily due to significant outflows from ETFs, shifting from net buying to net selling. Before ETF inflows stabilize and rebound, Bitcoin may continue to primarily experience consolidation in the short term.

The privacy coin sector led the decline, giving back most of the recent gains in the crypto market. According to HTX data, ZEC once dropped 5.2% to $619, marking the largest decline among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, but it still rose 8.2% over the past 7 days. Zcash has been one of the strongest performing assets in the crypto market over the past few weeks. Due to Multicoin Capital disclosing its holdings earlier this month and the overall narrative surrounding privacy coins heating up, ZEC has attracted institutional attention. Analysts believe that a 5% pullback after such a rally is more like profit-taking rather than new selling pressure, as structural buyers of privacy coins have been accumulating during the rise rather than distributing.Hyperliquid's HYPE token briefly surpassed Dogecoin in market capitalization during the Asian session before retreating. HYPE fell 4% to $59, while Dogecoin (DOGE) dropped 0.8% to $0.1009.

According to Cointelegraph, the crypto analysis platform Swissblock stated that Bitcoin is sliding into a high-risk environment due to continuous selling by institutions. Its Bitcoin risk index is currently at 33 points, in the high-risk zone. Swissblock pointed out that every time the risk index signals a structural selling pressure overwhelming the market, it is backed by institutions selling off.Glassnode reported that since May 7, the U.S. Bitcoin ETF has recorded net outflows almost every trading day, with continuous institutional selling signals increasing pressure on the supply side for more than two weeks, while demand has not offset this. CoinEx chief analyst Jeff Ko stated that over the past two weeks, more than $2 billion has flowed out of spot ETFs, and institutional risk appetite remains in a marginally sensitive state. News of the U.S. launching new strikes against Iran on Tuesday morning further intensified the risk, causing Bitcoin to drop by 1%, falling from $77,000 to below $76,500.

According to GMGN monitoring, the Base ecosystem token KTA (Keeta Network) rose 22% today, with a market cap returning to the $200 million mark, currently reported at $0.206. The 24-hour trading volume surged to $3.4 million, with a cumulative increase of about 50% over the past week. KTA is the native token of Keeta Network, positioned as a Layer-1 project connecting TradFi and DeFi. This round of increase was mainly catalyzed by the announcement of the launch of the Keeta Personal one-stop trading product. The token has been online for 446 days, and last June, its price peaked at $1.6. Since then, it has been affected by the ongoing spread of FUD related to project fraud, compounded by on-chain detective ZachXBT stating that "the project is being hyped by some unknown KOLs and there are suspicions of high control," leading to a sudden price crash. As of the time of writing, KTA has fallen approximately 87.5% from its historical peak.ChainCatcher reminds users that on-chain trading is highly volatile, largely relying on market sentiment and concept hype, and investors should be aware of the risks.

According to BIT analysis, during the bull market from 2020 to 2021, smart contract platforms were widely expected to reshape some of the infrastructure and business processes in the traditional financial system. However, the high expectations did not materialize, and Ethereum's market share in the digital asset ecosystem has continued to decline. Currently, Ethereum's market share has once again fallen below 10%, shrinking by more than half compared to two years ago.This shows that ETH's relative position in the crypto market continues to decline. For investors with heavy ETH holdings, this trend is worth noting. The continuous decline in ETH's market share indicates that funds are flowing towards other narratives or ecosystems. If this trend continues, ETH may still face pressure and maintain a relatively weak position.
