Trump will usher in a 100-day ruling node for his second term on April 29, but his approval rating continues to decline to 39%, setting the lowest 100-day rating for presidents in the past 80 years. Polls show that 72% of Americans believe that their economic policies may trigger a short-term recession, 53% of respondents believe that the country's economic situation has deteriorated, and 41% feel pressure on their personal financial situation. The Trump administration's trade protectionist policies and tariff measures have exacerbated market volatility. The S&P 500 index has fallen by about 8% since its inauguration, the worst 100-day performance since 1974; the US dollar index plummeted 9% during the same period, the weakest start since the Nixon era, and funds accelerated to gold and non-US assets. At the same time, the Federal Reserve is in a policy dilemma due to the coexistence of inflationary pressure and recession risks, and the room for interest rate cuts is limited. The combined comments on Trump's intervention in the independence of the central bank have further weakened market confidence. Wall Street strategists generally recommend reducing their holdings of US stocks and US dollar assets when highs are highs. Bank of America emphasizes that global capital allocation is shifting from "American exceptionalism" to diversified layout, and gold and emerging markets have become safe-haven choices.
Bitcoin recently broke through the key resistance level of $95,000, and ran steadily above the 21-week moving average. It also stood firm at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of $87,045, providing a clear stop loss reference for bulls. Although Bitcoin only recorded a 43.4% increase after the halving in April 2024, significantly weaker than the historical cycle performance, the strengthening of gold and the diversification trend of US dollar assets still give it long-term allocation value. Crypto analyst Willy Woo believes that the acceleration of on-chain capital inflows lays the foundation for breaking through historical highs, with the medium-term target pointing to the range of $103,000 to $108,000. Citibank predicts that if the stablecoin market size grows to $1.6 trillion based on the benchmark scenario, the price of Bitcoin may reach $285,000 in 2030, and in optimistic cases, it may even look at $475,000. Even under conservative assumptions, the price may double to more than $190,000. But analyst Ali warned that Bitcoin faces selling pressure of 1.76 million BTC in the range of 2.61 million wallet addresses in the $94,125-99,150 range, and still need to be wary of fluctuations during periods of weak market liquidity.

Currently, SOL is still hovering around US$150. The ecological project PENGU has increased rapidly in the past week, pulling up more than twice.

Currently, multiple million-cap projects such as Hosico, LetsBONK, and NOM have emerged.
