Introduction

This Thursday, the global financial markets presented a core pattern dominated by geopolitical risks and sharp differentiation of major assets. The ongoing Middle East conflict has intensified risk-aversion sentiment, leading to a stronger dollar index, a significant correction in precious metals, sharp spikes in oil prices, and collective pressure on European and American stock markets. In contrast, the cryptocurrency market has shown an independent upward trend, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both breaking through key ranges, and altcoins actively rotating. Standing at a critical time window on Friday, global liquidity expectations, trends in geopolitical conflicts, and resonances in technical structure jointly determine the short-term market rhythm and trading opportunities. This article will provide a comprehensive and in-depth analysis from five dimensions: macro background, traditional assets, cryptocurrency landscape, technical strategies, and risk warnings, to assist in accurately capturing the volatility dividends of Friday's market.

1. Core Review of the Global Macro Market (All Asset Context on Thursday)

The core logic of market trading on Thursday revolved around Middle Eastern geopolitical risks → Recovery of inflation expectations → Slowdown in Fed rate cut pace → Strengthening dollar → Asset repricing, with overall market risk appetite significantly retreating and a divergence in safe-haven and anti-inflation assets, specifically manifested as follows:

The dollar index exhibited a strong pattern of initial suppression followed by a rise, driven by the U.S. market, completing a bottom reversal during the day, and ultimately closing up 0.49% at 99.75, marking a third consecutive trading day of strength, with prices directly approaching the key 100 level, as bullish momentum continues to be released. The U.S. Treasury market remained relatively stable, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield closing at 4.269%, and the 2-year Treasury yield, highly sensitive to Fed policy rates, closing at 3.745%. Short-term yields remain low, reflecting that market expectations for long-term rate cuts have not completely reversed, although short-term rate hike expectations have warmed up.

The precious metals market faced dual pressures; on one hand, the strong rebound of the dollar index, and on the other hand, market concerns about oil-driven inflation rebound, leading global central banks to slow down the pace of rate cuts. Spot gold continued to decline before the U.S. market opened, dipping to an intraday low of 5055.01 dollars, down over 100 dollars from its high, ultimately closing down 1.87% at 5078.99 dollars per ounce; spot silver also followed the downward trend, closing down 2.12% at 83.88 dollars per ounce, with gold and silver both weakening, validating rising expectations for short-term liquidity tightening.

The energy market became Thursday's biggest highlight, as geopolitical risk premiums fully erupted following attacks on tankers in the Gulf region and a tough warning from Iran's officials, leading to a significant upward movement in oil prices after a strong opening. WTI crude oil ultimately closed up 8.98% at 96.36 dollars per barrel; Brent crude oil closed up 8.1% at 98.96 dollars per barrel, with Brent futures settlement prices exceeding 100 dollars for the first time in nearly four years, and rising energy prices further enhanced market inflation concerns, creating a chain reaction at the macro level.

Global stock markets displayed a uniform decline, with risk assets under pressure. The three major U.S. stock indexes all closed lower, with the Dow Jones down 1.56%, the S&P 500 index down 1.52%, and the NASDAQ composite index down 1.78%, where tech stocks were particularly hard hit, with TSMC and Intel each falling around 5%, Nvidia dropping over 1%, and Apple down nearly 2%; benefiting from rising oil prices, Western Oil defied the trend with a 5% increase. The NASDAQ China Golden Dragon Index closed down 1%, with significant differentiation among individual stocks; Xpeng Motors rose 3.5%, while Alibaba fell over 1%. Major European indexes all retreated, with the German DAX30 index down 0.21%, the UK's FTSE 100 index down 0.47%, and the Stoxx 50 index down 0.79%, with the global stock market's weakness further highlighting demand for risk aversion.

The cryptocurrency market showed an independent trend, achieving a rally amidst the backdrop of a general decline in global risk assets. Bitcoin maintained a high-level consolidation with four consecutive hourly gains, with prices operating around the 70,000 mark, while Ethereum also strengthened, gradually advancing above the 2050 to 2100 dollar range. The activity level of altcoins significantly increased, with altcoin ETFs, staking sectors, and DeFi sectors forming a positive rotation. Funds are focusing on quality sectors, and the anti-risk attributes and independent market characteristics of crypto assets continue to emerge.

Moving forward, the market still needs to closely monitor changes in funding sentiment and key resistance breakthrough situations. I will continue to track the Fed’s policy implementation progress, global institutional fund flows, and changes in on-chain data in the cryptocurrency market to provide timely updates on layout strategies and quality targets, keeping pace with the market rhythm and seizing certain opportunities.

2. In-depth Technical Analysis of Bitcoin and Trading Strategy for Friday

Bitcoin formed a small Doji at the daily level yesterday, indicating a temporary balance between bulls and bears, with the market at a critical juncture for direction choice. The market exhibited a high-level consolidation pattern throughout the day, with a clear rhythm: after peaking near 70200 during early trading, a slight retreat occurred, rebounding to find strong support at the 69200 level in the afternoon, followed by a stabilization and rebound that pushed the evening price to around 70800, before a retreat back to near 69400 occurred overnight, then continuing to vibrate upwards, maintaining a high-level washing pattern overall.

This morning, after the market opened, Bitcoin saw a sharp rise, with main funds strongly engaging. As of now, prices have risen above 71500 dollars, with a substantial bullish K-line formed on the four-hour level in the early hours, fully releasing bullish momentum and establishing a strong pattern for the short term. The current core focus is on the breakthrough of the 72200 level above, which is a critical resistance level that directly determines the subsequent market space:

Breakthrough scenario

: If Bitcoin effectively breaks through the 72200 resistance level and stabilizes, the market will continue its strong upward momentum, focusing on testing the 73000 to 74500 range above. This range is a previously dense trading area, and once broken, it will open up a new round of rising space, with the Friday market expected to strike new highs.

Correction scenario

: If the 72200 resistance level does not stabilize effectively and the morning rise only forms an upper shadow line, indicating heavy selling pressure above, the market will likely face a phase of retreat, most probably retracting to operate within the box around the 69000 dollar support, re-entering a consolidation phase.

Special reminder: Today is Friday, the end of the weekly closing combined with the uncertainty of news over the weekend, the volatility during trading may significantly amplify. In terms of operation, rely on the current key resistance and support points for strategic layout without blindly chasing highs or selling lows; if the market effectively breaks the resistance or falls below the support, decisively follow the trend with incremental operations, strictly controlling positions and implementing risk management.

3. In-depth Technical Analysis of Ethereum and Trading Strategy for Friday

Ethereum has recently shown stronger performance than the market, displaying a strong pattern of consecutive daily gains. The bullish trend is clear, with the daily rhythm of “rise — pullback — stabilization — consolidation” presenting a standard washing pattern: after opening high to 2082 yesterday morning, it faced selling pressure leading to a retreat, hitting a low of 2016 at noon, before finding strong support and beginning to vibrate upwards. In the evening, the market briefly tested the upper resistance level of 2094, then retreated again, with the lowest fall in the late trading session down to 2035, entering a phase of horizontal consolidation, with sufficient washing laying the foundation for subsequent rises.

This morning, Ethereum broke the consolidation pattern, with the market directly engaging and sharply rising, with main funds strongly entering, having pushed up to the 2140 dollar line, successfully breaking through the previous consolidation range, and the bulls fully controlling the market. Currently, the core focus for Ethereum is on the stabilization of the 2165 to 2180 range above, which is a critical pressure zone determining the medium-term trend:

Breakthrough scenario

: If Ethereum effectively breaks through and stabilizes in the 2165-2180 range, the market will continue to test positions above 2220. If 2220 stabilizes simultaneously, the daily bullish channel will officially open, with the medium-term market expected to progress towards the previous declining consolidation platform, aiming directly at the 2350 to 2420 dollar range, opening up significant upward space.

Correction scenario

: If the 2165-2180 range does not stabilize effectively, indicating heavy selling pressure above, the morning rise is likely a bull trap, and the market will firmly face expectations of a retreat, continuing to pull back to operate within the 2000 to 1980 dollar box, re-entering a consolidation phase.

Ethereum's current trend is linked to Bitcoin but with stronger elasticity. In terms of operations, follow the overall market rhythm, relying on key support and resistance for strategic positions, follow the trend during breakouts, and buy low during corrections, focusing on core opportunities among mainstream currencies.

4. Core Logic and Risk Warnings for Friday's Market

(1) Core Trading Logic

Macroeconomic Linkages

: Geopolitical risks in the Middle East continue to intensify, oil prices are running high, inflation expectations are recovering, the Fed's rate cut expectations are slowing down, and the dollar index is strengthening, which exerts certain pressure on the cryptocurrency market in the short term, but the independent trend characteristics of crypto assets are becoming apparent, with funds focusing on technical breakthroughs.

Time Window

: Friday marks the end of the weekly closing, market volatility is amplified, and main funds are likely to use this time window for washing and rising, making the validity of key position breakthroughs critically important.

Technical Resonance

: Bitcoin and Ethereum have both broken through their short-term consolidation ranges, with a bullish alignment at the four-hour level, active rotation within the altcoin sector, and warming market sentiment, creating a basis for further upward movement.

(2) Risk Warnings

Geopolitical conflicts may escalate beyond expectations, triggering a global risk asset plunge, potentially causing the cryptocurrency market to follow suit in a pullback;

If the dollar index breaks through the 100 level and strengthens significantly, it may suppress the valuation of crypto assets;

Friday's market may experience significant volatility; contract trading should strictly control positions, setting stop-loss and take-profit points to avoid liquidation risks;

Increased uncertainty over weekend news may require caution in holding positions to mitigate overnight risks.

5. Conclusion and Summary

On Friday, March 13, 2026, the global market is at a critical node of geopolitical risks and liquidity expectations, with traditional assets sharply differentiating and the cryptocurrency market showing an independent strong performance. Bitcoin broke above 71500 dollars in the morning, focusing on breaking 72200 resistance; Ethereum broke above 2140 dollars, paying attention to the stabilization of the 2165-2180 region, with both major coins strengthening together and high activity in the altcoin sector, indicating the presence of structural opportunities.
