Bitunix Analyst: The dollar's pricing power oscillates between policy credibility and war outcomes, as the market enters a phase of exchange rate-driven risk reallocation.
**April 21 News Brief**
Markets are now pricing in the "Who Determines the End Condition" scenario. Former President Trump explicitly narrowed the ceasefire window while retaining the Strait of Hormuz blockade as a negotiation chip, transforming energy supply risks into a bargaining tool. However, internal divisions in Iran’s negotiating stance have hindered short-term consensus-building, shifting geopolitical risk from a one-time event trigger to a variable tied to expectations of sustained impact.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. dollar’s core driving logic has reversed: it’s no longer tied solely to interest rate differentials and safe-haven flows, but now focuses on the comprehensive pricing of policy credibility and liquidity pathways.
- On one hand, Federal Reserve Chair Powell laid out a clear hawkish framework ahead of his congressional hearing—emphasizing the Fed’s independence and commitment to taming inflation—effectively ruling out aggressive rate cuts in the near t

El Salvador’s President Bukele: I expect Bitcoin to rebound to $85,000, and another significant correction will present the final buying opportunity
On April 21, Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Daniel Yan noted he’s been tracking a rebound—not a reversal—lately. The key question is how far this rebound will go. Initially, the target was pegged at 85 (equivalent to $850,000 for Bitcoin), but no one can time the bottom perfectly. The main takeaway: set your own expectations and stick to sound risk management and profit-taking plans.
From a trading and cyclical lens, another significant pullback could be on the horizon—one that may also offer a strong final buying opportunity. Potential triggers right now include: a pullback in U.S. stocks from record highs, a broad decline in risk assets, unhinged oil prices, and scary inflation prints that force the Fed to scrap rate cuts (even consider hiking rates). Stay bullish on the medium-to-long term while managing short-term risks.
