According to an opening statement obtained in advance by Politico, Warsh stated that interest rate decisions must be strictly independent of political considerations, and monetary policy should not be used as a tool for short-term political objectives. He emphasized that the credibility of the Federal Reserve comes from institutional constraints and policy discipline. Warsh highlighted that price stability is the Fed's safeguard and committed to taking full responsibility for it, stating, "No excuses, no evasion."

On April 21, former President Trump reiterated multiple times that the ceasefire agreement will expire at 11 PM Washington time on Wednesday, and it is 'extremely unlikely' that the ceasefire will be extended. At the same time, Trump stated that Vance will travel to Pakistan later on Monday, and 'the Strait of Hormuz will not be opened before the agreement is signed.' On the other hand, Iran maintained a firm stance during U.S. trading hours, stating that 'the decision not to participate in negotiations has not changed.' However, U.S. media reported that 'the Iranian delegation will arrive on Tuesday morning, close to the arrival time of the U.S. delegation.' Due to Iran's tough stance, the S&P 500 index fell 0.24% on Monday, the Nasdaq dropped 0.26%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average remained basically flat. Crude oil prices saw a slight increase, with Brent crude rising by 2.51% to $90.39. Bitcoin, on the other hand, showed relative strength, possibly boosted by significant purchases from Strategy. According to HTX, Bitcoin once again surpassed $76,000 this morning, currently priced at $75,853.42, with a 24-hour increase of 0.19%. Investors are highly focused on whether the U.S.-Iran situation will escalate again. In the next couple of days, whether the Iranian delegation can arrive in Islamabad on time and whether peace talks can be resumed are the main points of market attention.

On April 21, Glassnode released a report indicating that while buying interest remains strong, providing some buffer for prices, market sentiment is turning cautious. Data shows that the cumulative volume delta (CVD) for spot trading has shifted from positive to negative, indicating rising selling pressure and the emergence of bearish sentiment. Meanwhile, centralized exchanges are active, maintaining high market participation. In the futures market, an increase in open interest suggests a rising risk appetite, but the funding rates for long positions have significantly decreased, and the CVD for perpetual contracts has sharply declined, indicating that traders are more willing to pay a premium to short, with reduced buying enthusiasm and increasing bearish sentiment. In the options market, a decrease in demand for downside protection may ease bearish sentiment, but a contraction in open interest could imply profit-taking, affecting future volatility. The narrowing of volatility spreads suggests a shift in market sentiment from risk pricing to neutrality. The ETF sector stands out, with the MVRV ratio and net inflows of U.S. spot ETFs rising, indicating enhanced profitability and investor interest, along with a significant increase in trading activity, reflecting growing enthusiasm for participating in Bitcoin through regulated channels, leading to cautiously optimistic market sentiment. In terms of liquidity, a decrease in hot money share and a narrowing of realized market cap changes indicate dominance by long-term holders and alleviated net outflows. The supply ratio between short-term and long-term holders remains stable, with long-term holders showing solid confidence.
