BitMart Market Daily Report: BTC Drops to Around $63,000, Market Awaits Fed Minutes Release

Odaily Planet Daily News According to BitMart's market observation on July 8th, BTC is currently trading at approximately $62,838, with an intraday high of around $64,151 and a low of about $62,572; ETH is trading at around $1,624.95; XRP is around $1.059. Overall, mainstream assets experienced a slight pullback today. BTC retreated from above $64,000 to near $63,000, ETH held above $1,600, XRP continued its narrow consolidation, and the market entered a short-term wait-and-see phase after consecutive recoveries.

BTC's failure to stabilize above $64,000 today indicates that upward pressure persists, with short-term capital turning cautious ahead of the Fed minutes release. From the derivatives market perspective, the BitMart BTC perpetual funding rate is currently 0%, a neutral rate. This data suggests that long and short forces in the derivatives market are basically balanced, and there is no significant overcrowding of long positions during the rebound. Combined with the decline of BTC spot prices from their intraday highs, the current market situation is closer to normal position turnover after a recovery, rather than a trend-driven upward move fueled by high leverage.

BitMart X Insight: Today, market focus is on interest rates and risk asset repricing ahead of the Fed minutes release. The US dollar and US Treasury yields strengthened before the minutes were released, with the 10-year US Treasury yield rising to around 4.50%, indicating that the market is still waiting for clearer policy signals. Meanwhile, tech stock futures came under pressure, with AI and semiconductor sectors experiencing pullbacks, and risk asset sentiment cooling compared to the previous trading day.

On the other hand, an attack on a vessel near the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil prices higher, bringing energy price volatility back into the market's view. For the crypto market, rising interest rates, pressure on tech stocks, and the rebound in oil prices are collectively suppressing short-term risk appetite. This is a key background for BTC's decline from above $64,000 today. However, BitMart's funding rate remains neutral, indicating no significant overcrowding in the derivatives market. The market decline more reflects risk control ahead of macro events. In the short term, if BTC can hold the $62,000-$63,000 range, ETH and XRP may still have opportunities to maintain a low-level recovery. If the Fed minutes reinforce tightening expectations, mainstream assets might return to range-bound trading.

Investors are advised to continue monitoring the support dynamics of BTC within the $62,000-$63,000 range and whether ETH can stably operate above $1,600.
