Bitcoin’s next move is one of the most debated questions in the market right now. One side sees the current price structure as a base for a push to new all-time highs, pointing to strength around $70,000 and repeated rebounds above this price level. Another camp believes the recent action is only a pause within a broader downtrend, with more range consolidation and lower levels still ahead before any real rally begins. That divide is exactly where expert analyst Tony Severino steps in with a very cautious outlook. According to the crypto trading expert, Bitcoin might not see a rally again until complacency is crushed. A Warning Against The Bullish Complacency Severino, who posts under the handle @tonythebullBTC on X, recently declared that “the 16-year Bitcoin expansion is over.” This is a statement that carries particular weight given his track record. He had previously anticipated that Bitcoin’s bull run would end in 2025 and projected that the corrective wave ushering in a bear market could extend as far as mid-2027.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts Bitcoin To Gold Rotation That Will Send BTC Price To $800,000, But When? Severino’s latest comments directly challenge the idea that Bitcoin is simply gearing up for another rally. The comments were in response to a sarcastic post by another analyst. In his view, the widespread belief that the Bitcoin price will continue to rise indefinitely is misplaced.  Severino describes the current environment as one dominated by complacency, where investors have grown too comfortable buying dips without questioning the broader structure. According to him, it is because of people like this who think it will only go up forever. Destruction First, Then Growth The most important part of Severino’s outlook is not just that a downturn could happen, but that it is necessary. Only when that complacency is fully broken, he contends, can a new cycle begin on a stronger footing. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is Officially In A Bear Market And Is Headed Below $30,000, Analyst Warns “This destruction and reset is necessary for growth again. But not until complacency is crushed,” he said. “Complacency says: ‘Same asset, same behavior.’ Reality: Same asset, different environment = different outcome distribution,” he continued. This is not the first time Tony Severino has sounded the alarm of complacency for investors who are strongly bullish despite Bitcoin’s recent price struggles. Back in February, he pointed out that the Bitcoin price may have already reached a 16-year cyclical peak.  Notably, this 16-year cyclical peak concept has become a recurring theme in his broader outlook. That same idea resurfaced again in his latest remarks, where he noted the complacency among some investors. In another analysis, Severino predicted a somewhat -72% maximum drawdown from Bitcoin’s October 2025 peak price of $126,000. If that scenario plays out, it would place Bitcoin’s price in the region of $34,000 before a more sustainable bottom can form. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin (BTC) slipped below $69,000 on Thursday, erasing gains seen earlier in the week as MARA Holdings (MARA), the largest crypto mining company in the United States, disclosed a substantial liquidation of its BTC holdings to fund an expansion into artificial intelligence (AI) computing. MARA Shares Climb On Debt-Repurchase Plan In its disclosure covering March 4–25, MARA said it sold 15,133 BTC for roughly $1.1 billion. The sale reduced Marathon’s holdings by roughly 28% from the 53,822 BTC it held at the start of March, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net data. Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) May Be Reversing Course, Says Top Analyst; Watch These Key Resistances The market reaction to the move was notable on both fronts. Bitcoin’s price retreated to approximately $68,997 at the time of writing — a decline that places the cryptocurrency more than 45% below its record highs near $126,000 set during last year’s rally.  Meanwhile, MARA stock rose almost 7% intraday, bringing the stock closer to the $9-per-share level as investors digested the company’s pivot toward AI and high-performance computing. The Bitcoin miner said the proceeds from the sale will be used to repurchase $1 billion in convertible bonds maturing in 2030 and 2031 through privately negotiated buyback agreements expected to close on March 30 and March 31.  Management framed the transaction as a strategic refinancing move that both strengthens the balance sheet and increases financial flexibility. MARA CEO Fred Thiel stated:  This transaction enhances financial flexibility and increases strategic optionality as we expand beyond pure-play bitcoin mining into digital energy and AI/[high-performance computing] infrastructure. Sale Sees Holdings Fall To 38,689 Bitcoin In a similar vein, MARA Holdings’ CEO emphasized the sale was a deliberate capital-allocation decision intended to position the company for long-term growth.  By retiring more than $1 billion of face-value debt at a discount, the company said it captured approximately $88 million in value that otherwise might have been lost, reduced potential shareholder dilution, and used its Bitcoin holdings to de-lever the balance sheet on terms favorable to the company. The sale follows changes MARA disclosed earlier this month in a Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company revised its 2026 policy to permit the sale of Bitcoin held on its balance sheet during liquidity stress or market crises.  Related Reading: Crypto Bill Clash: Coinbase Rejects CLARITY Act Changes On Stablecoin Yields The filing warned that prolonged weakness in Bitcoin’s price could materially affect MARA Holdings’ financial health; sustained or further declines in BTC could significantly reduce the value of its holdings and weigh on liquidity and the balance sheet. MARA Holdings’ reduced stash is now valued at roughly $2.66 billion at current prices. BitcoinTreasuries.net shows the company has fallen to the third-largest public holder following the sale, overtaken by Twenty One Capital, which now holds 43,514 coins.  The industry leader remains Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which has maintained an aggressive acquisition strategy on a weekly basis and now holds 762,099 Bitcoin.

Bitcoin may be moving closer to the kind of long-term support zone that has characterized major bottoms in past cycles, but one technical analyst believes the market has not reached that moment just yet.  An interesting technical analysis points to Bitcoin’s weekly moving averages as the clearest guide for where this decline could finally exhaust itself. That setup shows that the current price action may be narrowing to form a bottom, even though one more leg lower below $60,000 could still come first. Bitcoin Has Already Entered A Late-Stage Correction Bitcoin has been in an extended downtrend since October 2025, down by almost 50% from its all-time high above $126,000. As it stands, the Bitcoin price now hovering around $70,000, and a growing body of technical evidence shows the price action is trading at an accumulation zone, but the bottom may not yet be in. Related Reading: Analyst Who Predicted Bitcoin $125,000 Top Reveals What To Expect Next According to a weekly chart analysis shared by @thescalpingpro on X, Bitcoin is converging on two long-term moving averages that have defined every major cycle bottom since 2018, and the final leg down could still take price below $60,000 before a floor is established. Technical analysis shows that the 200-week moving average and the 300-week moving averages are the structural backbone of Bitcoin’s macro price history. Back in the 2018 bear market, Bitcoin found its floor precisely at the 200 WMA, which was the end of an 84% drawdown from the prior cycle peak. The March 2020 COVID crash, brief as it was, sent the Bitcoin price straight through the 200 WMA and into the 300 WMA before reversing sharply. Then in 2022, during the FTX crash and the collapse of the crypto credit market, Bitcoin again bottomed in the vicinity of the 300 WMA. This completed a pattern that has now repeated across three different market cycles during three entirely different macroeconomic conditions. Bitcoin Price Chart. Source: @thescalpingpro On X Where Does Bitcoin Need To Go? At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $69,820, down by 1.8% in the past 24 hours. However, Bitcoin is still trading above both moving averages but has not meaningfully tested either. The 200 WMA is currently sitting at $59,268, while the 300 WMA is positioned at $51,805. These two levels now define the high-probability accumulation range that could be identified as the bottom zone for the current correction. Related Reading: Bitcoin Distribution Mechanism Has Not Changed, All Roads Point To Crash Below $50,000 The red support box drawn on the right side of the chart above shows exactly that possibility. The price may still dip into the upper end of the support band around the 200-week moving average or, in a more intense selloff, slide toward the 300-week moving average around $51,800.

Bitcoin is hovering around $70.000 in a relatively tight range, slightly dropping today to $69.3000. Price action looks more like consolidation rather than stress or capitulation. Related Reading: Crypto Analysts Warn: Traders Misreading The Clarity Act Could Miss The Real Opportunity Bitcoin Remains Resilient Amidst Geopolitical Unrest Today’s QCP Market Colour reports Bitcoin’s resilience against a macro backdrop that continues to be tenuous, especially in comparison with traditional risk assets. Renewed tensions in the Middle East, oil trading with a geopolitical premium, and a fragile growth outlook are all in play, while risk assets have so far digested the inflation shock more quickly than the potential growth shock. It is still unclear how much broader growth damage will eventually show up if geopolitical strains continue. Flows suggest coins are leaving exchanges (accumulation rather than urgent selling) and BTC dominance is grinding higher, signaling a defensive, bitcoin‑first stance in crypto. Too Early To Call A Bottom Aligned with this, CryptoQuant data suggests that is still too early to assure that the market has reached its bottom. Key cycle indicators brought up by analyst Crypto Dan, such as MVRV, NUPL and their bull–bear cycle gauges have not yet reached the washed‑out levels usually seen at major bear‑market lows. A large share of supply (around half or more) remains in profit, whereas past macro bottoms came when that share fell closer to 45–50%, suggesting more pain or more time could still be needed. A graphic shared by Crypto Dan backs up the analysts arguments that BTC has not yet reached its bottom. Source: CryptoQuant. In the options landscape, implied vols are easing and term structure is in mild contango and carry is positive. This is consistent with consolidation rather than an imminent volatility shock. Downside hedges remain in demand but not at panic levels, showing that professional desks are pricing caution, not a full‑blown crash scenario. Bitcoin appears to be accumulated on dips rather than chased higher. ETF and derivatives flows are more tactical than euphoric, and traders are fading extremes while respecting the range. This leaves BTC in an uncomfortable, though not clearly bearish, position: it no longer behaves like a straightforward high‑beta equity proxy, yet it has not secured steady safe‑haven flows either. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Takes Over Wall Street: Can PURR Options Trigger a Fresh Rally? An In-Between Regime For Bitcoin Markets have repriced the inflation shock (via oil and rates) faster than any potential growth shock, leaving a risk that weaker data or prolonged geopolitical stress forces another leg of repricing. Bitcoin is increasingly treated as a hybrid macro hedge/high‑beta asset, with correlations shifting as institutional capital rotates and tests BTC as a partial stagflation or geopolitical hedge. Summing up, until on‑chain cycle metrics reset and macro visibility improves, rallies are likely tactical, not the start of a clean new trend: the idea of a “headline‑driven range” around $70.000 where dip‑buying and disciplined hedging make more sense than calling a macro bottom.

The new Binance guidelines for market makers requires them to disclose information such as their identity and contract terms. Binance Tightens The Grip On Market Makers On Wednesday, the largest centralized crypto exchange in the world released a new set of guidelines aimed to token issuers and liquidity providers, tightening their grip on the mandatory disclosure of market maker identity and legal entity and contract terms. Additionally, Binance is posing an explicit ban on profit‑sharing and guaranteed‑return arrangements. In their blog post, Binance clarifies that a market maker is a professional trader or firm that provides liquidity by always placing buy and sell orders on a CEX or DEX. They earn money from the small difference between their buy price and sell price (the spread). In return, the liquidity they provide help other traders get in or out of positions quickly without moving the price too much. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Takes Over Wall Street: Can PURR Options Trigger a Fresh Rally? Top 3 Red Flags That Market Makers Should Look For Binance highlights ix “red flag” behaviors, including aggressive sell‑offs against vesting schedules, one‑sided order books and coordinated cross‑platform dumping 1. Selling against the vesting schedule Market makers are expected to stick to the token’s agreed vesting and unlock plan. If they start offloading large amounts too early, too often, or in a way that clearly clashes with that schedule, it’s a sign incentives are off or internal risk controls are weak. 2. One‑sided “liquidity” Effective market making is supposed to provide balanced liquidity on both sides of the book. When you see sustained sell orders with little or no matching buy interest from the same party, it can add downward pressure on price and disrupt orderly trading conditions. 3. Coordinated dumping across venues When big token transfers hit several exchanges at once and are quickly followed by heavy selling that goes beyond routine liquidity rebalancing, it’s often a clue that tokens are being systematically offloaded, not just responsibly warehoused for market making. More Illicit Activity Binance warns that market makers should also watch out for volume that doesn’t match price, volatility spikes from thin liquidity and large‑scale token offloading. The new expectations for token projects are clear: strict adherence to token release plans, no large offloads via market makers, full disclosure of MM identities and mandates to the exchange, clear written trading parameters, and continuous monitoring post‑listing. Banned activity includes revenue‑sharing/profit‑sharing models, guaranteed‑return deals between projects and market makers and vague token‑lending agreements that don’t clearly limit how borrowed tokens can be used. The goal of the new rules is to ensure their market-making arrangements are aligned with “long-term market integrity”, as responsible market makers ultimately boost liquidity and “reduce slippage”. Binance warns it will take swift action against violations of the guidelines, including blacklisting market makers that manipulate markets or violate token release schedules. Related Reading: Crypto Analysts Warn: Traders Misreading The Clarity Act Could Miss The Real Opportunity Market Implications Of The Binance Guidelines Binance is effectively admitting that “liquidity support” has doubled as unofficial selling channels and volume‑washing tools, and is trying to pre‑empt both another crash narrative and tougher external regulation. The potential winners of the new rules are retail traders who get cleaner order books and fewer surprise dumps on newly listed tokens, plus more transparent token‑launch structures. The likely losers, however, are smaller token issuers and aggressive market makers who relied on off‑the‑record guarantees or profit splits to juice volume and unlock liquidity. The practical takeaways for traders are the obvious: watch order‑book depth and slippage instead of headline volume, be cautious around early‑stage altcoin listings while market makers and issuers adjust, and expect some pairs to see thinner liquidity as aggressive players step back. If Binance really enforces blacklisting and reporting channels, the cost of “liquidity games” rises, which could reduce short‑term pumps but improve long‑term price discovery on the exchange.

Bitcoin has clawed its way back toward $70,000 after a sharp slide to roughly $67,000, but Glassnode says the rebound still lacks the kind of demand profile needed to turn stabilization into a more durable recovery. In its latest weekly report from March 25, titled Awaiting Liquidity, the on-chain analytics firm argued that several pressure points have eased at once, including sell-side intensity, ETF outflows and dealer-driven market imbalances. Even so, muted spot volumes, subdued leverage and a dense band of overhead supply suggest the market is not yet in a high-conviction breakout phase. Weak Spot Bitcoin Demand Could Limit The Upside Glassnode’s central point is that the structure has improved, but not enough to declare the correction finished. “Bitcoin is beginning to show some constructive signs after a sharp corrective move, with price stabilising, ETF flows improving, and derivatives positioning becoming less one-sided,” the report said. “The pressure that defined the recent selloff appears to be easing, and the market is starting to look more balanced than it did a week ago.” That balance, however, sits inside a narrow and still fragile range. Glassnode said a new accumulation cluster is forming around current levels, with the 1-week to 1-month cohort carrying a cost basis near $70,200. That gives the market a developing support floor, but one the firm described as vulnerable because the current base of buyers remains modest. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Go Silent: Large Transactions Plummet Above the market, the resistance picture is heavier. The 1-month to 3-month holder cohort sits around $82,200, while Glassnode also flagged a larger cluster of short-term holder supply between roughly $93,000 and $97,000. Elsewhere in the report, it noted “a notably heavy concentration of short-term holder supply above $84k,” describing that inventory as a potential source of renewed sell pressure on any sustained recovery attempt. The on-chain backdrop also points to a market under stress, but not one showing outright panic. Relative unrealized losses have stabilized above 15% of market cap over the past two months, a pattern Glassnode said resembles the fear seen in the second quarter of 2022, though still well short of capitulation episodes like the FTX collapse. At the same time, realized profitability has thinned out dramatically. Entity-adjusted realized profit, using a 7-day moving average, has fallen from around $3 billion per day in July 2025 to below $100 million now, a decline of more than 96%. For Glassnode, that speaks to both sides of the current setup: fewer profitable sellers left to distribute coins, but also a weaker flow of fresh capital into the market. “Spot market activity remains relatively muted following the sharp selloff into the $67k region, with aggregate exchange volumes showing only a modest response during the subsequent recovery,” the report said. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miner Supply Shock Hasn’t Arrived Yet, New Data Suggests Compared to the stronger participation seen during prior impulsive advances, current spot volumes remain soft. This suggests the rebound back toward $70k has so far been supported more by selective dip-buying and short-term repositioning than by broad-based spot demand returning at scale.” That is the missing ingredient in Glassnode’s view. ETF flows have improved, with the 7-day average turning modestly positive after an extended stretch of outflows, suggesting early institutional re-engagement. But the firm stressed that the scale of those inflows remains limited compared with earlier accumulation phases. Derivatives markets tell a similarly cautious story. Perpetual funding rates remain negative, implying traders are still paying to hold downside exposure, while futures open interest has stayed relatively subdued rather than expanding alongside the bounce. Options markets are no longer flashing acute stress, but they are not pricing strong upside conviction either. Short-dated skew remains tilted toward puts, showing continued demand for downside protection, even as longer-dated positioning looks more balanced. A major near-term variable is Friday’s weekly, monthly and quarterly options expiry. Glassnode said dealers remain concentrated in short gamma between $70,000 and $75,000, with around $10 billion of that positioning set to roll off. Once that mechanical influence clears, BTC may become more sensitive to broader macro and liquidity conditions. At press time, BTC traded at $69,961.

Crypto exchange Bitrue made a bold claim Tuesday: XRP is trading at a fraction of where it belongs.

Related Reading: Bernstein Sets $150,000 Bitcoin Target As ETF Inflows Surpass $1.6B In March Derivatives Data Tells A Different Story Than The Price Chart The numbers in the futures market are raising eyebrows.

That kind of move during a price dip signals something specific: traders are opening new positions, and those positions are leaning long.

Short positions have not been piling up the way they typically do when a market turns bearish. Instead, traders appear to be buying into the weakness, a sign that many expect a price recovery rather than a continued slide. XRP dropped nearly 4% over the past week. But the futures market is not behaving like one bracing for more pain. #XRP should be $10 https://t.co/YxP3OSiom0 — Bitrue (@BitrueOfficial) March 25, 2026 What The Charts Say About Possible Downside Not every analyst is calling a bottom. A separate technical analysis flagged XRP as potentially still inside a corrective pattern — what Elliott Wave traders call a Wave 2/5 retracement. Under that reading, the price could briefly push toward $1.51 before pulling back more sharply. Key downside levels being watched include $1.12, where a double-bottom formation could take shape, and $0.87, which many traders regard as a strong long-term accumulation zone. Reports indicate some see the current price action as a late-stage shakeout — a test of conviction before a larger move upward. That tension is sitting at the center of XRP’s current moment. The short-term and long-term pictures are not telling the same story. XRP: Long-Term Targets Remain In Play Despite Recent Weakness Longer-term forecasts for XRP have not shifted. Price targets of $5 and higher — including the $10 figure Bitrue cited — continue to circulate among analysts and community members. Those targets are tied to broader narratives: growing institutional interest, Ripple’s resolved legal standoff with the SEC, and expanding adoption of blockchain-based payment infrastructure. Related Reading: Iran Rejects Peace Talk Claims, Leaving Bitcoin Stuck At $70K Missouri recently moved to designate XRP as an official reserve asset — a step that adds a layer of institutional credibility the coin did not carry a few years ago. Reports note that skeptics remain.

For now, XRP sits in a narrow range, down on the week but holding its footing. The derivatives market suggests traders are not walking away. They are waiting.

The Bitcoin price topped slightly above $126,000 back in October 2026 and is now down by over 40% since then. This move that has sent the cryptocurrency’s price below the $70,000 level multiple times since then, marking a possible entrance into the bear market. What is interesting about this move, though, is the fact that none of the 30 indicators that have previously been used to possibly predict the Bitcoin market peak has been hit. Bitcoin Bull Market Peak Indicators Remain Untriggered On the Coinglass website, there is an aggregation of 30 Bitcoin Bull Market Peak Indicators that track how far along the cryptocurrency is in the cycle. The process of these indicators are then used to map the probability of whether the Bitcoin price has hit its peak yet or not. Related Reading: XRP Price Will Not Move The Way People Think, Here’s A Better Pattern According to the website, not despite the Bitcoin price falling, not even one of these indicators have actually been hit so far. Some of the Indicators are farther along than others, where the likes the Bitcoin Long Term Holder Supply is over 91% along to hit its peak. However, the indicator has still not been triggered. Long-term holders have trimmed their supply, but there is still enough BTC held by them to show that they expect higher prices. Another interesting one is that the Bitcoin Dominance is yet to hit a peak. The indicator shows it is 89.8% alone, but with the dominance above 65%, it still puts Bitcoin well in charge of the market. This bleeds into the Altcoin Season Index, as the market is yet to have a proper altcoin season, which often happens toward the end of a bull market. All of the 30 indicators have progressed by varying degrees, but with none of them being hit yet, the Buy-Sell indicator continue to points to this being a time to hold instead of sell. Why Is The BTC Price Crashing? So far, Bitcoin seems to have deviated from the traditional indicators and has begun responding to macroeconomic factors more and more. This is no surprise given the entrance of companies into the digital asset through not only direct buying, but massive exposure for institutional players through Spot Exchange-Traded Products. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Are Making Money Again, But Will They Hold Or Sell?

#bitcoin #btc #bitcoin news #btcusdt #bitcoin whales #bitcoin whale transaction count

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Whale Transaction Count has witnessed a drawdown recently, a sign that big-money investors have reduced their activity. Bitcoin Whale Transaction Count Has Dropped To Lows In a new post on X, analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the Bitcoin Whale Transaction Count. This indicator measures the daily total number of transfers occurring on the BTC network that involve a sum of more than $100,000. Related Reading: Dogecoin Supply Barrier: This Level Holds Cost Basis Of 28 Billion DOGE Transactions with such a large value are usually considered to be coming from the whale entities, so this metric’s value basically reflects the activity that the large hands are participating in. When the value of the Whale Transaction Count goes up, it means the number of moves being made by the whales is rising. Such a trend suggests big-money interest in the cryptocurrency may be climbing. On the other hand, the indicator witnessing a decline could imply the large entities are shifting their attention away from the asset, as they are making a fewer number of transfers. Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Whale Transaction Count and its 7-day moving average (MA) over the last few years: As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Whale Transaction Count saw a notable spike during BTC’s price crash to start February, indicating whales became active. This isn’t anything unusual, as investors tend to make moves while the market is behaving in a volatile manner. As BTC has fallen into a phase of consolidation since this crash, however, the Whale Transaction Count has seen a rapid drop. The recent attempt at recovery also couldn’t ignite activity from the whales. Santiment noted: Bitcoin’s whale activity has become historically quiet as key stakeholders await clarity (literally) from the CLARITY Act, as well as long-term finality to the war. The Whale Transaction Count is currently sitting at 6,417, which is the lowest level for $100,000+ transfers since September 2023. In the same chart, the analytics firm has also attached the data for the transactions valued at more than $1 million. From this curve, it would appear that the massive transfers are down to 1,485, their lowest since October 2024. Related Reading: Ethereum Rebounds 6%, But Coinbase Demand Remains Weak Now, what could this trend mean for the market? Well, the answer to that question may not concretely lean in either the bullish or bearish direction. As Santiment explained: What it does signal is that smart money is in the same boat as smaller retail holders at the moment, and have been reluctant to make moves with so much policy and global uncertainty at play. BTC Price Bitcoin dropped back under $68,000 earlier, but the cryptocurrency has since seen a rebound as its price is now back at $70,800. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin remains locked in a tight range, leaving traders uncertain about its next major move. With strong resistance overhead and key support still holding below, the market is approaching a decisive moment. Whether BTC breaks out into a new rally or slips into another leg down will largely depend on how it reacts around these critical levels. A Slips Below Key Zone: Downside Pressure Builds According to Kamile Uray, Bitcoin is currently trading below the key blue box zone, suggesting that downside pressure may persist in the near term. Despite this, the 4-hour chart is beginning to show early signs of a potential recovery structure, with a small inverse head and shoulders (TOBO) forming. If this pattern activates, it could open the door for a move toward the $75,000 level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds $70K – Is The High‑Beta Era Over? Beyond that, there is also the possibility of a larger cup and handle formation developing. A successful push toward $75,000 would help shape this structure, but confirmation would only come with a strong close above that level. If achieved, it could signal continuation to the upside, especially if Bitcoin breaks above the $79,354 level, marking the first higher high on the 4-hour timeframe. On the downside, several key support levels, such as $65,666, $62,433, and $60,000, will be closely monitored, as holding above these levels could provide a base for another upward move. However, a daily close below the $62,433–$60,000 range would increase bearish pressure, exposing deeper support levels around $55,230 and $47,256. Looking at the bigger picture, a move toward $98,200 followed by a daily close above it would confirm a higher high on the daily chart, strengthening the case for a continued uptrend. Caution is advised, however, if the price approaches the $107,000–$109,000 zone, where a potential bearish pattern could emerge. Failure to break above the previous high in that region may trigger another downward phase. Bitcoin Stuck In Range As Momentum Stalls Bitcoin is currently trading around $70,413, remaining stuck within the same tight range that has held price action in place for weeks. CyrilXBT pointed out that the $72,000–$76,000 zone continues to act as a strong ceiling, with every rally into that area being met by consistent selling pressure.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Stalls As Donald Trump’s Unpredictable Remarks Shake Market Confidence On the downside, the macro trendline near $64,000 has held on two separate occasions, providing the only meaningful support structure preventing a broader bearish shift. Still, confidence in a bullish continuation remains limited until Bitcoin can secure a convincing close above $75,000. With the EMA 200 at around $86,380, still far from being relevant at this stage, the market remains in a wait-and-see phase, with traders watching for a decisive move out of the range.

#bitcoin #btc price #bitcoin price #btc #bitcoin miner #bitcoin news #btc news

Bitcoin’s miner supply picture remains tighter than in past cycles, but not tight enough to call it a true supply shock. New data from Axel Adler Jr.’s latest Bitcoin Morning Brief suggests miners still retain a meaningful over-the-counter reserve even as exchange-directed selling pressure stays elevated. Bitcoin Miners Flash Mixed Signal Adler’s core argument rests on two separate but related indicators. One tracks the 30-day moving average of BTC inflows from miners to exchanges, which serves as a direct proxy for realized selling pressure entering the market. The other measures the aggregate BTC balance held on OTC addresses associated with miners, offering a view into how much inventory can still be sold outside public order books. Taken together, the charts point to a market that is absorbing ongoing miner distribution, not one that has suddenly run out of hidden supply. As Adler put it, “For the market this is a mixed signal: the hidden OTC overhang is limited compared to past cycles, but tactical pressure in the market channel has not yet been removed.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds $70K – Is The High‑Beta Era Over? That distinction matters. A low OTC balance can be read as constructive because it implies miners have less sidelined inventory available for large off-exchange deals. But if the coins miners are currently producing are still being routed to exchanges at an elevated pace, immediate market pressure remains intact. The exchange inflow data is central to that argument. According to Adler, miner exchange inflows rose noticeably after Halving #4 relative to the early post-halving period, and the trend accelerated further from autumn 2025 onward. By 2026, the 30DMA remained in what he described as an elevated regime, indicating that “a significant portion of freshly mined supply is still being directed into the market, and current miner pressure cannot be considered removed.” Recent weeks have shown some moderation from the latest highs, but Adler does not view that as decisive. “In recent weeks the chart shows a local pullback from recent peaks,” he wrote. “But against the backdrop of strong growth over recent months, this does not yet look like a confirmed downward reversal – rather a pause within a still-elevated exchange inflow regime. To speak of a real reduction in miner pressure, a more sustained decline of the 30DMA from the current elevated zone is needed, not a short oscillation within it.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Miner Selling Pressure Drops To Near Three-Year Low The OTC side of the picture is more nuanced. Miner-linked OTC balances currently sit around 152.6K BTC, well below the historical peak near 595K BTC in 2018 and only modestly above the series low of roughly 146.9K BTC recorded in July 2025. By long-term standards, that does leave the OTC reserve compressed. Still, Adler explicitly pushes back on the idea that the reserve is effectively gone. “The current level is close to the lower bound of the historical range, but claiming the buffer is ‘almost entirely exhausted’ would be an overstatement: more than 150K BTC is still a significant volume,” he wrote. “In recent months the OTC balance has been oscillating within a relatively narrow range, and in February there was even a noticeable upward spike. This looks more like a regime of low but persisting reserve than a final phase of complete buffer depletion.” That framing is the key to the piece. The report does not argue that miner supply is abundant. It argues that the supply backdrop has become structurally tighter than in earlier cycles without yet crossing into outright scarcity. Miners have “substantially less OTC inventory than in past cycles,” Adler said, but the reserve “has not disappeared.” Instead, it “no longer looks large enough to create the same hidden supply overhang the market could see previously.” At press time, BTC traded at $   Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

A crypto analyst has issued a bold long-term forecast for Bitcoin, predicting that a capital rotation out of gold and into Bitcoin will drive the asset to $800,000. This prediction is coming at a time when gold’s recent decline has caught many financial investors off guard.  Biggest Gold To Bitcoin Rotation Is Coming Bitcoin has never lacked bold long-term projections, and over the years, some of the most optimistic forecasts have placed its future price well into six-figure territory and beyond. At different points in the cycle, these expectations have stretched as far as $1.5 million, especially during periods of institutional inflows into Spot Bitcoin ETFs.  Related Reading: How Is Bitcoin Price Following A 100-Year Pattern If It’s Only 16 Years Old? Expert Tells All However, that wave of extreme bullish sentiment has cooled in recent weeks, largely due to the cautious tone across the broader crypto market. Even so, that hasn’t stopped a few new high-end Bitcoin price projections from surfacing.  A crypto analyst known as DonaX₿τ on the social media platform X recently put forward one of the most aggressive long-term outlooks in recent weeks, with the prediction that the financial markets are on the verge of a historic transition from gold into Bitcoin. “Nobody is ready for the biggest Gold to Bitcoin rotation in history,” the analyst stated on X, adding a price target of $800,000 for Bitcoin. According to the analyst, the Bitcoin price will reach $800,000 sometime between 2029 and 2030. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $71,310, meaning that this price prediction places the target at more than a tenfold increase from the current price range. Why A Rotation From Gold To Bitcoin Is Being Considered Gold recently fell to its lowest level in 2026, reaching a low of $4,098 per ounce on Monday, March 23. This crash is a reversal from its earlier strength in early February, when Bitcoin was going through a simultaneous crash.  Related Reading: How Is Bitcoin Price Following A 100-Year Pattern If It’s Only 16 Years Old? Expert Tells All The move has come despite ongoing geopolitical developments, a backdrop that would typically support gold prices. Instead, the precious metal went through one of its most severe short-term declines in recent years. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has not followed gold lower. Although the Bitcoin price recently slipped below $70,000, it is back to trading above it and is now posting gains relative to gold. The premise behind the prediction by DonaX₿τ is based on this changing investor behavior. Gold is known for being a store of value during uncertainty, but recent market dynamics have shown that it is not always the case anymore. Bitcoin is now in the picture and is attracting institutional capital in ways like gold.  Therefore, a full rotation from gold into Bitcoin by investors is sure to have an aggressive bullish effect on the price of the leading cryptocurrency. An $800,000 target, however, would require a significant extension of the current cycle and a multi-year accumulation period. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin is holding above $70,000. The number looks resilient. The geography behind it tells a more cautious story. An Arab Chain report tracking real-time exchange pricing has identified a spread that cuts against the bullish surface reading: Bitcoin is currently trading at $70,747 on Binance and $70,533 on Coinbase — a gap of -$213.95, with the global exchange leading the American one. That difference, small in percentage terms, is significant in what it reveals about who is actually buying. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Divergence Signals Weak US Buying Pressure: Coinbase Premium Stays Negative The Coinbase-Binance spread is one of the oldest and most reliable demand gauges in crypto markets. When Coinbase trades at a premium, US investors — retail, institutional, and everything between — are bidding aggressively. When it trades at a discount, as it does now, the buying is being led elsewhere. Global markets are more active. American demand is softer. The engine that powered Bitcoin’s most sustained bull runs in previous cycles is, at this moment, idling. That does not make $70,000 a lie. It makes it a question. The price is real. The conviction behind it, at least from the market that has historically mattered most, has not yet shown up to confirm it. The Bitcoin Spread That Separates a Rally From a Trend The report draws a clear historical line. In previous bull market cycles, a positive Coinbase-Binance spread — American buyers paying a premium over global markets — consistently preceded Bitcoin’s most sustained upward moves. The mechanism is not complicated: US institutional capital is large, conviction-driven, and when it enters aggressively, it does not just lift the price. It anchors it. The current spread inverts that picture. At -$213.95, the gap is narrow but persistent, and persistence is what the report flags as the concern. A brief negative reading can reflect timing or arbitrage. A spread that holds negative while price consolidates above $70,000 reflects something more deliberate — caution among US participants, possible profit-taking, and a market leaning on global activity to hold a level that domestic demand is not yet defending. The report frames what follows as a binary outcome. If the spread remains negative, downward pressure builds — not from selling, but from the absence of the buying that matters most. If it flips positive, that crossing becomes the signal: US liquidity returning, institutional momentum resuming, and $70,000 transforming from a level being held into a floor being built. The market is in anticipation. The spread will break that silence first. Related Reading: Bitcoin Structure Has Changed: UTXO Data Challenges Traditional Cycle Narratives Bitcoin Consolidates Above $70K as Recovery Lacks Conviction Bitcoin is trading at $71,351, holding above the $70,000 psychological threshold after the sharp, high-volume breakdown that defined February’s price action. The daily chart tells a story of structural damage not yet repaired — a market that found a floor but has not found a direction. The trend picture is unambiguous. Price remains below both the 50-day MA and the 100-day MA, and both averages are still sloping downward, confirming that bearish momentum has not been neutralized. The 200-day MA continues its descent from the $96,000 region — a level so far above current price that it functions less as near-term resistance and more as a reminder of how much ground has been lost since October’s peak above $125,000. Related Reading: Bitmine Locks 68% of Ethereum Holdings As Staking Position Surpasses $6.75B The recent push toward $74,000–$75,000 was rejected. That rejection is meaningful. It establishes the 50-day MA as active resistance, not merely overhead supply, and suggests the current bounce is corrective rather than impulsive — a technical distinction that separates a relief rally from a genuine trend reversal. Volume confirms the skepticism. The heaviest bars on the chart belong to the selloff and the February capitulation wick to $59,000. Noticeably lighter volume carries the recovery as limited participation and absent conviction stall the trend. Bitcoin is compressed between $70,000 and $75,000. A decisive close above the latter is required to shift the structure. A loss of $70,000 reopens $65,000 without meaningful support in between.

Crypto analyst Crypto Patel has outlined a roadmap for how Bitcoin could rally to $300,000. The analyst also indicated that investors will have the opportunity to buy at lower levels, as he predicts BTC will first drop to $44,000.  Roadmap For The Bitcoin Rally To $300,000 In an X post, Crypto Patel laid out the roadmap for the Bitcoin rally to $300,000. First, he stated that BTC will bounce into the $89,300 to $98,000 range, which is the higher timeframe bearish order block. Once that happens, he predicts the leading crypto will face rejection from that zone, triggering the final leg down to $44,000, which is the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement.  Related Reading: How Is Bitcoin Price Following A 100-Year Pattern If It’s Only 16 Years Old? Expert Tells All The analyst noted that Bitcoin has so far followed his analysis, with the rising wedge breakdown and the dump to $60,000 occurring just as he predicted. Meanwhile, Crypto Patel stated that the drop is an opportunity to accumulate heavily ahead of the rally to the long-term target of $300,000.  Crypto Patel assured that the drop to $44,000 is not a crash but a gift, and that this level sets up healthy long-term growth. He reiterated that this is not a crash level but a reset level. He advised that market participants not to miss the opportunity if Bitcoin hits $44,000 or below. His accompanying chart showed that BTC could rally to $300,000 between 2027 and 2028.  This coincides with the period that could mark the start of the next bull run, with experts like Doctor Profit predicting that Bitcoin could bottom by year-end. An accumulation phase then begins, leading to a bullish reversal for the leading crypto.  Where BTC Is Likely To Bottom  Crypto analyst Colin said that the very bottom of the green band, currently at $42,000, could be a reasonable place to look for a Bitcoin cycle bottom. However, he noted that the band would move lower as the bear market progresses. As such, he believes that $35,000 could be a more reasonable place for the leading crypto to bottom.  Related Reading: If Bitcoin Price Doesn’t Hold Take And Hold $69,000 With Momentum, It Could Get Very Bad The analyst had earlier mentioned that Bitcoin is still likely in a bear market despite the recent rally. This came as he noted that BTC was trading in a bear flag since the February 6 low. He also stated that the leading crypto could find a local top around $79,000 before breaking down below the lower range of this bear flag. It is worth noting that BTC has broken above $70,000 amid reports that the U.S. and Iran could agree to a one-month ceasefire.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $71,200, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Strategy, the Michael Saylor-led company that has made Bitcoin accumulation its core business, bought $76.6 million worth of crypto last week, lifting its total holdings to 762,099 BTC — roughly 3.5% of the entire Bitcoin supply. Related Reading: Iran Rejects Peace Talk Claims, Leaving BTC Stuck At $70K Wall Street brokerage Bernstein used that move as a springboard to reaffirm one of the boldest price calls on the market: Bitcoin hitting $150,000 before the year is out. Institutional Money Is Moving Bernstein senior analyst Gautam Chhugani delivered the outlook in a note to clients Monday, saying BTC has found its price floor after months of decline. The call, if correct, would mean the drop to around $60,000 in early February was the lowest point in the current downturn — and that everything from here points upward. Bitcoin was trading past $71,000 at the time of the report, meaning the $150,000 target represents a more than 110% gain from current levels. Chhugani pointed to two forces he believes will push the price there: growing inflows into BTC spot exchange-traded funds and rising corporate demand. The numbers backing that claim are hard to ignore. Bitcoin spot ETFs pulled in $167 million in a single day this week — their first positive day in four sessions — and have attracted $1.6 billion in net inflows since March began. The market got a brief lift earlier in the week after reports that US President Donald Trump had ordered a five-day halt in strikes on Iran. Bitcoin climbed to $71,750 on Monday before easing back. Corporate Buyers Keep Piling In Beyond Strategy, institutional interest is broadening. Australia’s pension fund Hostplus announced plans to offer clients Bitcoin exposure through self-directed portfolios. Morgan Stanley, one of the biggest names in global banking, has updated its SEC filing for a US Bitcoin spot ETF, a sign the product could be closer to launching than previously expected. Bernstein described Strategy as a high-beta play on Bitcoin — meaning its stock tends to move sharply in the same direction as Bitcoin, only more so. Despite MSTR shares falling 50% from their all-time high, Chhugani set a price target of $450 for the stock, betting the company’s large Bitcoin balance sheet will pay off as prices recover. Not Everyone Agrees The Bottom Is In Bernstein’s optimism is not shared across the board. Veteran chart analyst Ali Martinez laid out a scenario where Bitcoin drops as far as $41,500 by mid-October 2026 before any meaningful recovery begins. Related Reading: XRP Ledger Signals Growth With $1M Unlock And Activity Surge Standard Chartered Bank has repeatedly warned that Bitcoin could revisit $50,000 first, citing weak economic conditions and limited demand. The bank also cut its own 2026 Bitcoin forecast from $150,000 to $100,000. The split between analysts reflects how uncertain this market remains. Bitcoin has never matched the scale of correction seen in past bear markets if the February low holds — that would make this one of the shallower pullbacks from an all-time high in the asset’s history.

A crypto analyst who correctly predicted Bitcoin’s (BTC) cycle peak around $125,000 has released a new report detailing fresh projections for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. In the update, the analyst maintains a largely bearish outlook, pointing to weakening technical structure amid the ongoing bear market. He also outlines what investors and traders should expect in the coming weeks or months, while sharing his strategy for navigating continued downside pressure. Bitcoin And The Broader Market Bear Trend In an X post published at the start of the week, market expert Doctor Profit shared a Sunday report, explaining Bitcoin’s recent movements and outlining what the market should expect as bearish conditions persist. He noted that since September 2025, he has consistently shared his outlook on Bitcoin and how its price movements could unfold over the coming months. After successfully projecting Bitcoin’s $125,000 top in 2025, Doctor Profit revealed that he also anticipated the cryptocurrency’s decline to $100,000, which occurred a few weeks after his forecast. In addition, he predicted BTC’s price crash to $60,000, a move that also played out within weeks of his call.  Related Reading: Bitcoin PMI Cycle Is The Only Signal That Matters, Analyst Explains Why The analyst disclosed that he had also forecasted that Bitcoin would trade inside a sideways range between $57,000 and $87,000. True to his prediction, Bitcoin rallied to $76,000 last week before retreating sharply to $68,000 just a few days later. According to Doctor Profit, this movement represents one of many bullish traps he has repeatedly warned about, signaling a continued bear market trend.  Due to the risk of further downside pressure, Doctor Profit has shared his strategy moving forward. He revealed that he recently sold the BTC he purchased two weeks ago at around $68,000 and is currently holding a larger short position between $115,000 and $125,000. He also noted that he may add more shorts in the $79,000 to $84,000 region with a 5x leverage.  Beyond Bitcoin, the analyst noted that the entire financial market is in a “bear market scenario.” The analyst had highlighted major liquidity stress in the repo market as far back as September 2025, alongside rising risks tied to the FED’s standing repo facility. He further claimed that there is ongoing manipulation in the silver and gold markets, where futures prices have increasingly diverged from physical supply, which continues to decline.  In addition, Doctor Profit pointed out that, amid rising oil prices, AI-and data-related stocks appear heavily overbought. As a result, he has taken short positions across these sectors, as well as in Bitcoin, stocks, and indices in certain regions. He added that all of his shorts are presently in profit.  Still maintaining a negative outlook, Doctor Profit expects the current bear market to dominate most financial assets, with only a few staying strong. In his view, Bitcoin remains in a weak technical position and lacks clear directional strength, which helps explain its ongoing sideways price action.  Looking ahead, the analyst predicts that the next major move is likely another price correction. He explained that markets may attempt to push prices higher to capture liquidity above key levels before driving them much lower. At the same time, he added that they are also proceeding cautiously due to ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties that could pose significant risks.  What’s Next For The BTC Price In his report, Doctor Profit stated that he no longer holds any spot positions in Bitcoin, arguing that the next major downside move is only a matter of time. The analyst warned that the market could still experience fake outs before another decline. Overall, he maintains a strongly bearish outlook and expects Bitcoin to fall toward the third target highlighted on his chart between $50,000 and $40,000.  Related Reading: Breaking Down The $100 XRP Prophecy: Is There A Timeline? Doctor Profit also emphasized that last week’s FOMC meeting provided clearer insights into where the market is likely headed next. According to him, the next interest rate cut is now expected in December 2026, much later than the market had previously anticipated. With no rate cuts currently in place, the analyst believes market fear could spread as inflationary pressures remain elevated. Given these bearish headwinds, Doctor Profit has issued an official call for the coming weeks or months, projecting another major Bitcoin price crash similar to the one he made after the 2025 cycle top.  Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
