📝 Evening Market Analysis for April 8: The ultimatum landing window of 48 hours has opened, and the market is using "continuous low absorption + volume-driven rally" to directly raise the resilience bottom line by another level!

Since the final ultimatum from Trump on the evening of April 7, it has been 18 hours. The latest post on Truth Social remains firm (“We have absolute dominance, ready to act at any time”), but no immediate military options are mentioned. Iran’s official response also leaves room (“We are prepared for defense, but the negotiation door is not closed”). There are no reports of actual disruptions in the navigation data of Kharg Island and the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices in the evening session hovered narrowly between $111.8 and $113.2, further easing geopolitical sentiment marginally. After a V-shaped reversal in the crypto market during the Asian session, the evening session directly entered a volume-driven upward attack mode—leverage liquidations decreased by 42% compared to the early session. Smart money upgraded from “hidden low absorption” to “public sweeping,” with BTC dipping only briefly to $69,200 before being snapped back. Liquidity expectations and safe-haven attributes have completely dominated, and the tariff story has been fully phased out as a market consensus.

📊 Evening Data (as of around 13:15 UTC on April 8)
• BTC: $71,240 | 24h +4.3% (rebound of $1,390 from early session’s $69,850, daily volatility narrowed to 1.9%, 70k level effectively stabilized)
• ETH: $2,178 | 24h +3.9% (continuing to outperform BTC significantly, ETH/BTC relative strength further reinforced)
• Global Market Cap: $2.46 trillion | +3.0% (recovered $70k from early session’s $2.39 trillion, successfully back above $2.45 trillion)
• Fear & Greed Index: 19 (Extreme Fear)🔴 (quickly recovered from 14 within 24 hours to 19, with a clear V-shaped reversal momentum, still in the historical bottom zone)

🔍 Market Reaction Interpretation
In the evening session, the market once again provided the clearest answer with a textbook structure of “volume-driven rally + volume contraction correction”: BTC did not revisit the early support of $68,500 all day, leverage liquidations remained very low, and institutional/smart money signals of continued accumulation in panic zones have shifted from “tentative” to “confirmed” since the morning. Oil prices still fluctuate but show a clear downward trend. The correlation between the crypto market and traditional risk assets further diverges—US stocks futures weakened slightly during the session, while crypto assets surged independently—this is a typical manifestation of the “liquidity restart expectation” fully taking over the market in the post-tariff era.

Overall market sentiment quickly shifted from “early low absorption confirmation” to “continued accumulation in the evening,” with both Trump and Iran’s statements not closing the negotiation window. Mediators remain active in the background. The fear index is warming rapidly, indicating funds are pre-positioning for the “48-hour game period after the ultimatum,” with the V-shaped reversal upgrading from “testing resilience” to “raising the bottom line.”

⚡ Today’s real variable is accelerating realization
The biggest positive in the evening is already in place: no new extreme events occurred, the actual risk in the Strait of Hormuz remains controllable, and the oil price decline confirms the logic of “quick pricing after emotional fermentation.” The Federal Reserve’s rate cut path remains unchanged, and liquidity expectations continue to strengthen. The risk point has fully shifted from “tonight’s ultimatum” to “negotiation progress over the next 48 hours”—as long as no new black swan events occur (such as complete closure of the strait or military conflict), geopolitical sentiment will rapidly cool down, and the rebound slope is expected to further steepen.

🎯 My outlook (evening update)
The tariff story is completely over. Geopolitical game + rate cut expectations remain the main themes for April, and market resilience has been repeatedly validated and is becoming more solid.
• BTC: $69,500–$70k now transforms into a new strong support, with the current 71k level easily broken through, short-term resistance at 73k–75k
• Target range remains at $78,000–$82,000, with the timeframe further accelerated due to the landing of the ultimatum + no further extreme escalation (the probability of mid-April acceleration has significantly increased to high)
• As long as there are no new black swans in Iran within 48 hours (such as maintaining basic navigation in the strait or not closing the negotiation window), the rebound trend will remain strong, and ETH/BTC’s relative strength may continue to extend to new highs

Summary in one sentence:
The early session held the resilience bottom line, and the evening rally fully realized expectations—Trump’s final ultimatum and oil price fluctuations did not stop funds from continuing to add positions. The fear index at 19 has entered the most vulnerable zone for a rapid V-shaped reversal. While others are still watching geopolitical news, you can already continue to increase your positions along the main trend.

In the evening of April 8, the market’s volume-driven stabilization above 70k again provides the answer: geopolitical risks still fluctuate, but liquidity expectations post-tariff have become the absolute mainstream. Keep your positions unchanged and patiently wait for negotiation signals within 48 hours. Continue to focus on real-time oil price movements, latest statements from Trump/Iran, and liquidity changes in the US market, ready to迎接 the next wave of acceleration.
