1. Bitcoin Market: Bitcoin has finally chosen a direction. During the night trading session, Bitcoin continued to rise, and this morning, with high volume, it broke through two important resistance levels at 92,500 and 95,000. Currently, it closed around 95,400. Guess what? The next target should be around 100,000. Over the past two weeks, the little whale has been bullish, and the family members paying attention should be eating meat. Ethereum's trend is stronger than Bitcoin; this morning, it briefly surged to 3,380, then oscillated, currently around 3,330.

2. Altcoin Market: Gate launched a new Chinese meme "Black Horse" today. After opening, it quickly rose to 0.014, then oscillated back down, currently around 0.0109. Other Chinese meme coins experienced a bloodbath last night, with "I'm f***ing here," "Laozi," "Life K-line," and "Grassroots Culture" topping the decline list, with drops between 20%-40%. After funds flowed out of Chinese tokens, it boosted other strong altcoins: Ip surged 40%; Dash up 40%; XMR rose 10% to a new all-time high, oscillating at high levels; River oscillating at high levels; Pepe up 20%, Ordi up 30%. These two coins are closely linked to Bitcoin; if Bitcoin continues to rise, family members interested in altcoins can pay attention to them.

3. Neighboring Markets: U.S. stocks weakened, the Dow opened lower and declined 0.8%, the Nasdaq oscillated at low levels; the Chinese A-shares also ended a 17-day winning streak, entering correction, with huge trading volume expected to cause some volatility. Both U.S. stocks and Chinese A-shares are in correction; will funds flow into the crypto market? Gold continues to oscillate at high levels, silver extended a 2% rally, crude oil surged 3%.

4. U.S. CPI Data Unexpectedly Surprised: Expected 2.7%, actual released value 2.7%, core CPI expected 2.7%, actual released 2.6%, raising expectations of a Fed rate cut.
