In the short term (1–2 weeks), after falling below 70k, prices tend to oscillate and recover within 1–5 days; if the FOMC meeting on April 28–29 is dovish or geopolitical tensions escalate, this may extend to 1–2 weeks. In the medium to long term (>3 weeks), unless liquidity deteriorates significantly or regulatory shocks occur, it is more likely to be a short-cycle correction characterized by “oscillating downward and quickly rebounding.”
📉 Why this duration (logical breakdown)
- Psychological threshold effect: 70k is a strong emotional level; breaking below it often triggers short-term stop-losses and liquidations, with quick rebounds common within 1–3 days.
- Macro time window: Focus on the FOMC meeting on April 28–29 in late April. If the meeting is hawkish or rate cut expectations are delayed, a stronger dollar may suppress BTC, lasting about 1–2 weeks.
- Structural support: Current exchange reserves are at a 7-year low, with long-term holders (LTH) increasing their holdings; mid-term selling pressure is marginally weakening, making multi-month declines unlikely.
- Historical patterns: After breaking out of high-volatility zones, it’s common to see rapid 3–10 day dips and recoveries, with sustained declines over 2 weeks being rare.
⏱️ Timeline scenario reference
- Base scenario (higher probability): Fall below 70k followed by recovery within 1–5 days, oscillating in the $68k–$72k range, awaiting FOMC direction.
- Bearish scenario: Hawkish meeting or geopolitical escalation, maintaining weakness for 1–2 weeks, with a dip to $66k–$68k before stabilization.
- Bullish scenario: Holding support at $68k–$70k, quickly rebounding above $72k within 3 days, entering a new oscillation zone.
⚠️ Key tips
- Watch trading volume and liquidation volume: a breakout above $71k with increased volume is more credible; a surge in liquidations can intensify short-term volatility.
- Core anchors: FOMC meeting, June rate cut probability, geopolitical situation.
- Risk warning: The above is market analysis and does not constitute investment advice. Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile; strictly control position sizes and stop-losses.
