THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Bitcoin’s price action has been trapped in a tight range between $84,000 and $82,000 in recent days, with bulls struggling to push upwards. The general market sentiment is one of a cautious nature, and hopes of a quick return above $90,000 are starting to fade. However, a new technical analysis suggests that Bitcoin could be on the verge of a significant rally, as price action shows the cryptocurrency is currently conforming to the cup-and-handle pattern. Cup And Handle Support Could Cause A Major Bitcoin Rally Recent Bitcoin price movements have drawn attention back to a key technical structure of the handle support of a cup-and-handle pattern, suggesting that a bullish setup may be quietly taking shape. This interesting Bitcoin price activity was relayed in a technical analysis by a crypto analyst on the TradingView platform.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Suppression Below $100,000 Worries Investors, JPMorgan Analysts Reveal Real Problem The cup-and-handle pattern in question has been forming over multiple years, with the rounded bottom phase stretching from 2021 to mid-2024. This prolonged accumulation period saw Bitcoin gradually recover from the bearish market cycle before breaking above its neckline resistance. The breakout started the handle formation in the latter half of 2024, a consolidation phase that set the stage for BTC’s next leg up. By November 2024, Bitcoin completed this handle phase and went on an impressive rally that ultimately resulted in a new all-time high of $108,786 in January 2025. However, the recent 24% correction from this all-time high has seen the Bitcoin price returning to the neckine resistance of the cup-and-handle formation. The logical next step is for this neckline resistance to serve as support for the price correction and we could see Bitcoin rebound from here. In terms of a price prediction, Elliott wave analysis and projections put the price target above $130,000, particularly at $139,000. Elliott Wave Analysis Suggests A Surge Toward $130,000 According to the Elliot Waves technical framework, Bitcoin is currently in a larger fifth impulse wave formation. However, this fifth wave, which is generally bullish, has been punctuated by corrective ABC sub-waves, leading Bitcoin to retest the support of the cup-and-handle formation. Now that the support has been met, Bitcoin is in a position to bounce and continue the formation of its fifth impulse wave. This is expected to bring it to the price target above $130,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Open Interest Crashed To 6-Month Low, Here’s What Followed The Last Time The alignment of the cup-and-handle formation with Elliott wave projections strengthens the case for a major breakout in the coming months. However, Bitcoin’s fundamentals reflect uncertainty in the short term. There is currently a lack of bullish momentum needed to rechallenge the $90,000 mark, which would be the first step needed to reach $130,000. Steady institutional outflows from Spot Bitcoin ETFs have further increased selling pressure, limiting Bitcoin’s ability to regain strength in the short term.

Bitcoin has shown resilience by bouncing to its 200-day moving average since last Tuesday when it fell as low as $76,606, yet it remains below this key technical threshold. In this volatile market environment, a major whale has taken a contrarian position by establishing a highly leveraged short on Bitcoin perpetual futures via Hyperliquid. Huge Bitcoin Whale Goes Short According to data from Hyperliquid and blockchain analyst Lookonchain, the whale’s short position is valued at over $445 million and utilizes 40x leverage. This position comes with a liquidation price set at $85,940, and despite the inherent risks, the trader is already reporting an unrealized gain of $4.4 million. Pseudonymous trader CBB (@Cbb0fe) galvanized a group of market participants to target the position. Lookonchain’s report highlights a coordinated effort to force the whale’s hand: “This whale still managed to turn a profit despite being hunted by a team! 11 hours ago, @Cbb0fe publicly formed a team to hunt this whale who shorted BTC with 40x leverage. Just one hour later, the team was in action, driving BTC above $84,690 in a short period,” Lookonchain said on X. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $10 Million? Experts Predict Explosive Growth By 2035 Notably, the whale was forced to deposit $5 million USDC to increase margin and avoid liquidation. “But the hunt ultimately failed. The whale continued to increase his position to short BTC. Currently, the whale is profiting from closing positions through Twap. His current position is 5,406 BTC ($449M), with an unrealized profit of $4.4M.” the blockchain analytics service added via X. In a series of rapid-fire tweets, CBB further intensified the situation by stating: “The hunt has begun,” adding “If you are willing to hunt this dude with size, drop a DM, setting up a team right now and already got good size.” He later added: “We have lost a battle but we have not lost the war. Locked in.” and “Holy fuck please Eric Trump send help from the divine father to liquidate this mfer.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Spot ETF Exodus Continues: $900 Million Outflows Extend Losing Streak Hyperliquid has positioned itself at the forefront of this unfolding drama, emphasizing the platform’s role in providing unmatched transparency in high-leverage trading. In a statement posted on X, Hyperliquid commented: “Hyperliquid has redefined trading. When a whale shorts $450M+ BTC and wants a public audience, it’s only possible on Hyperliquid. […] Anyone can photoshop a PNL screenshot. No one can question a Hyperliquid position, just like no one can question a Bitcoin balance. The decentralized future is here.” Hyperliquid was recently thrust into the spotlight following an incident involving a prominent whale who executed a “liquidation arbitrage.” In that event, the extraction of floating profits led to a margin shortage that triggered forced liquidations, transferring risk to the decentralized exchange’s HLP vault.

In a new publication titled The Mustard Seed, Joe Burnett—Director of Market Research at Unchained—outlines a thesis that envisions Bitcoin reaching $10 million per coin by 2035. This inaugural quarterly letter takes the long view, focusing on “time arbitrage” as it surveys where Bitcoin, technology, and human civilization could stand a decade from now. Burnett’s argument revolves around two principal transformations that, he contends, are setting the stage for an unprecedented migration of global capital into Bitcoin: (1) the “Great Flow of Capital” into an asset with absolute scarcity, and (2) the “Acceleration of Deflationary Technology” as AI and robotics reshape entire industries. A Long-Term Perspective On Bitcoin Most economic commentary zooms in on the next earnings report or the immediate price volatility. In contrast, The Mustard Seed announces its mission clearly: “Unlike most financial commentary that fixates on the next quarter or next year, this letter takes the long view—identifying profound shifts before they become consensus.” At the core of Burnett’s outlook is the observation that the global financial system—comprising roughly $900 trillion in total assets—faces ongoing risks of “dilution or devaluation.” Bonds, currencies, equities, gold, and real estate each have expansionary or inflationary components that erode their store-of-value function: Gold ($20 trillion): Mined at approximately 2% annually, increasing supply and slowly diluting its scarcity. Real Estate ($300 trillion): Expands at around 2.4% per year due to new development. Equities ($110 trillion): Company profits are constantly eroded by competition and market saturation, contributing to devaluation risk. Fixed Income & Fiat ($230 trillion): Structurally subject to inflation, which reduces purchasing power over time. Burnett describes this phenomenon as capital “searching for a lower potential energy state,” likening the process to water cascading down a waterfall. In his view, all pre-Bitcoin asset classes were effectively “open bounties” for dilution or devaluation. Wealth managers could distribute capital among real estate, bonds, gold, or stocks, but each category carried a mechanism by which its real value could erode. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Peak In? This Data Suggests Otherwise, Analytics Firm Says Enter Bitcoin, with its 21-million-coin hard cap. Burnett sees this digital asset as the first monetary instrument incapable of being diluted or devalued from within. Supply is fixed; demand, if it grows, can directly translate into price appreciation. He cites Michael Saylor’s “waterfall analogy”: “Capital naturally seeks the lowest potential energy state—just as water flows downhill. Before bitcoin, wealth had no true escape from dilution or devaluation. Wealth stored in every asset class acted as a market bounty, incentivizing dilution or devaluation.” As soon as Bitcoin became widely recognized, says Burnett, the game changed for capital allocation. Much like discovering an untapped reservoir far below existing water basins, the global wealth supply found a new outlet—one that cannot be augmented or diluted. To illustrate Bitcoin’s unique supply dynamics, The Mustard Seed draws a parallel with the halving cycle. In 2009, miners received 50 BTC per block—akin to Niagara Falls at full force. As of today, the reward dropped to 3.125 BTC, reminiscent of halving the Falls’ flow repeatedly until it is significantly reduced. In 2065, Bitcoin’s newly minted supply will be negligible compared to its total volume, mirroring a waterfall reduced to a trickle. Though Burnett concedes that attempts to quantify Bitcoin’s global adoption rely on uncertain assumptions, he references two models: the Power Law Model which projects $1.8 million per BTC by 2035 and Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin model which suggests $2.1 million per BTC by 2035. He counters that these projections might be “too conservative” because they often assume diminishing returns. In a world of accelerating technological adoption—and a growing realization of Bitcoin’s properties—price targets could overshoot these models significantly. The Acceleration Of Deflationary Technology A second major catalyst for Bitcoin’s upside potential, per The Mustard Seed, is the deflationary wave brought on by AI, automation, and robotics. These innovations rapidly increase productivity, lower costs, and make goods and services more abundant. By 2035, Burnett believes global costs in several key sectors could undergo dramatic reductions. Adidas’ “Speedfactories” cut sneaker production from months to days. The scaling of 3D printing and AI-driven assembly lines could slash manufacturing costs by 10x. 3D-printed homes already go up 50x faster at far lower costs. Advanced supply-chain automation, combined with AI logistics, could make quality housing 10x cheaper. Autonomous ride-hailing can potentially reduce fares by 90% by removing labor costs and improving efficiency. Burnett underscores that, under a fiat system, natural deflation is often “artificially suppressed.” Monetary policies—like persistent inflation and stimulus—inflate prices, masking technology’s real impact on lowering costs. Bitcoin, on the other hand, would let deflation “run its course,” increasing purchasing power for holders as goods become more affordable. In his words: “A person holding 0.1 BTC today (~$10,000) could see its purchasing power increase 100x or more by 2035 as goods and services become exponentially cheaper.” To illustrate how supply growth erodes a store of value over time, Burnett revisits gold’s performance since 1970. Gold’s nominal price from $36 per ounce to roughly $2,900 per ounce in 2025 appears substantial, but that price gain was continuously diluted by the annual 2% increase in gold’s overall supply. Over five decades, the global stock of gold almost tripled. If gold’s supply had been static, its price would have hit $8,618 per ounce by 2025, according to Burnett’s calculations. This supply constraint would have bolstered gold’s scarcity, possibly pushing demand and price even higher than $8,618. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaches 12-Year Support Line Against Gold – Is The Bull Run Over? Bitcoin, by contrast, incorporates precisely the fixed supply condition that gold never had. Any new demand will not spur additional coin issuance and thus should drive the price upward more directly. Burnett’s forecast for a $10 million Bitcoin by 2035 would imply a total market cap of $200 trillion. While that figure sounds colossal, he points out that it represents only about 11% of global wealth—assuming global wealth continues to expand at a ~7% annual rate. From this vantage point, allocating around 11% of the world’s assets into what The Mustard Seed calls “the best long-term store of value asset” might not be far-fetched. “Every past store of value has perpetually expanded in supply to meet demand. Bitcoin is the first that cannot.” A key piece of the puzzle is the security budget for Bitcoin: miner revenue. By 2035, Bitcoin’s block subsidy will be down to 0.78125 BTC per block. At $10 million per coin, miners could earn $411 billion in aggregate revenue each year. Since miners sell the Bitcoin they earn to cover costs, the market would have to absorb $411 billion of newly mined BTC annually. Burnett draws a parallel with the global wine market, which was valued at $385 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $528 billion by 2030. If a “mundane” sector like wine can sustain that level of consumer demand, an industry securing the world’s leading digital store of value reaching similar scale, he argues, is well within reason. Despite public perception that Bitcoin is becoming mainstream, Burnett highlights an underreported metric: “The number of people worldwide with $100,000 or more in bitcoin is only 400,000… that’s 0.005% of the global population—just 5 in 100,000 people.” Meanwhile, studies might show around 39% of Americans have some level of “direct or indirect” Bitcoin exposure, but this figure includes any fractional ownership—such as holding shares of Bitcoin-related equities or ETFs through mutual funds and pension plans. Real, substantial adoption remains niche. “If Bitcoin is the best long-term savings technology, we would expect anyone with substantial savings to hold a substantial amount of bitcoin. Yet today, virtually no one does.” Burnett emphasizes that the road to $10 million does not require Bitcoin to supplant all money worldwide—only to “absorb a meaningful percentage of global wealth.” The strategy for forward-looking investors, he contends, is simple but non-trivial: ignore short-term noise, focus on the multi-year horizon, and act before global awareness of Bitcoin’s properties becomes universal. “Those who can see past the short-term volatility and focus on the bigger picture will recognize bitcoin as the most asymmetric and overlooked bet in global markets.” In other words, it is about “front-running the capital migration” while Bitcoin’s user base is still comparatively minuscule and the vast majority of traditional wealth remains in legacy assets.

Bitcoin’s price trajectory has become a significant point of interest in light of the recent downtrend, which has disappointed many bullish traders. According to on-chain analytics platform IntoTheBlock, the recent price crash up to the current price has seen over 6.5 million BTC addresses falling into losses. Still, technical analysis suggests Bitcoin could experience further drops.  The question is whether Bitcoin will test the $70,000 mark before regaining strength or can rebound from here toward a $300,000 price target. Insights from price structure and historical patterns help provide a clearer picture of what’s next. Bitcoin Price Decline: A Normal Cycle Within Uptrends Despite concerns over Bitcoin’s recent price swings, crypto analyst Philip (BasicTradingTV) maintains that the market is behaving normally within a long-term bullish structure. He highlights that on the higher monthly timeframe, Bitcoin continues to create higher highs and higher lows and maintains a solid uptrend that dates back to 2017.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Suffers Bearish Deviation After Filling CME Gap, Is This Good Or Bad? This technical outlook, which was noted on the TradingView platform, comes as a response to concerns about whether BTC is still bullish after the ongoing 25% correction from its recent all-time high.  Traders have been unsettled following the recent drop, but historical trends suggest this kind of movement is part of the market’s natural cycle. According to the analyst, Bitcoin is still forming a bullish market structure, and while short-term fluctuations may continue, the broader uptrend channel from 2017 is still in place. Furthermore, the analyst noted previous instances of 25% and 40% corrections during Bitcoin’s rallies from the lower trendline of this uptrend channel. What’s Next For BTC? Possible Retest Of Resistance Before Rally To $300,000 With the notion of a long-term uptrend still intact, the analyst noted, however, that Bitcoin could continue its downtrend until it reaches $70,000. This level holds significant importance, as it previously marked Bitcoin’s all-time high before turning into resistance around mid-2024. After multiple attempts, Bitcoin eventually broke through this resistance toward the end of the year, leading to its new all-time high of $108,786 in January 2025. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Action Says Bottom Is In, Analyst Reveals What’s Coming As such, this $70,000 level is now a major psychological support zone, making it a key area to watch amidst the ongoing Bitcoin price correction. From here, the analyst predicted a rebound that would send BTC to reach as high as $300,000. “Levels to watch: 70.000, $300.000,” the analyst said. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $82,555, having spent the majority of the past 24 hours trading between $79,947 and $83,436. This leaves Bitcoin still about 14% away from testing the $70,000 support level. However, there is also the possibility that BTC may not drop as low as $70,000 before bullish sentiment takes over once again. If Bitcoin continues to follow the trajectory of past cycles, Fibonacci extensions point to price targets between $150,000 and $300,000. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin’s tight correlation with global M2 has returned to the spotlight, suggesting that broader monetary conditions remain a key force behind the cryptocurrency’s market trajectory. Recent price action shows Bitcoin converging with M2’s downward drift—mirroring roughly a 70-day lag. This cyclical movement highlights Bitcoin’s ongoing responsiveness to fluctuations in liquidity, even as other fundamental factors, like the newly announced US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), continue to capture headlines. Global M2 Correlation And Bitcoin Market Inefficiency In his latest research note, analyst Joe Consorti underscores that “Bitcoin’s directional correlation with global M2 has tightened again,” indicating that price remains heavily swayed by money supply trends. After a few months of divergence—fueled in part by a strong US dollar—Bitcoin fell to $78,000, coming within $8,000 of M2’s projected path. The global M2 index has softened, partly reflecting the dollar’s robust performance. Despite that drag, Bitcoin appears to be following the general liquidity blueprint it has tracked throughout this cycle, suggesting Bitcoin’s price still hinges on major macro forces like central bank expansions and contractions. “While this relationship isn’t a direct cause-and-effect mechanism, it continues to provide a useful macro framework,” Consorti writes. He added: “The takeaway? Bitcoin remains the ultimate monetary asset in a world where money supply, balance sheet capacity, and credit are perpetually expanding. As global money supply expands, bitcoin tends to follow it, at least directionally. But this cycle is seeing additional variables that make M2 a less reliable standalone indicator, such as the US dollar being historically strong, creating a drag on global M2 denominated in USD, and more accurate measures of money supply and liquidity coming onto the scene.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Bottom Confirmed? Data Shows 87.5% Chance The Worst Is Over Although macro conditions are exerting familiar pressure, the market’s reaction to the SBR announcement has been perplexing. After the US President Donald Trump formally declared plans to accumulate Bitcoin through a “budget-neutral” mechanism, the price tumbled 8.5% in just under a week. Consorti described the sell-off as “an irrational reaction highlighting major inefficiencies in pricing Bitcoin’s geopolitical importance.” Executive Order 14233 mandates Treasury and Commerce officials to grow America’s BTC holdings—currently at 198,109 BTC—without new taxpayer cost or congressional oversight. This is a stark contrast to previous government-level adoptions, such as El Salvador’s legal tender move, which coincided with a surge in Bitcoin’s price. Consorti attributes the disparity to short-term profit taking and a “sell-the-news” mentality, adding that “the magnitude of the selloff indicates a complete failure to price in the long-term implications.” Despite the SBR-related dip, Bitcoin’s technical signals suggest a possible local bottom forming. The cryptocurrency dipped to $77,000 before bouncing back, filling a low-volume gap in the $76,000–$86,000 range. Buyers seized on the retracement, creating two hammer candlesticks on the weekly chart. Related Reading: Bitcoin Teeters On The Edge: Will This Pivot Hold Or Collapse? Hammer candlesticks typically point to a reversal, especially when they appear at cycle-defining support levels. According to Consorti, “Historical precedent suggests that Bitcoin forms these patterns at cycle turning points… The last time we saw this exact price structure was during the tail end of Bitcoin’s summer 2024 consolidation, two months before it surged from $57,000 to $108,000.” A notable trend amid these price fluctuations is Bitcoin’s rising dominance, even during periods of market contraction. ETH/BTC recently sank to 0.0227—its lowest since May 2020—indicating intensifying skepticism toward altcoins. Meanwhile, institutional demand for Ethereum has likewise slumped, as evidenced by a 56.8% drop in the asset under management (AUM) ratio for Ethereum vs. Bitcoin. “This cycle belongs to Bitcoin, and all future cycles will only further cement this reality,” Consorti asserts. He suggests altcoins are fighting an uphill battle as Bitcoin-centric narratives gain global traction. At press time, BTC traded at $82,875.

Crypto analyst Tony Severino has warned that the Bitcoin price risks a further crash. This came as he revealed a critical technical indicator, which has turned bearish for the flagship crypto, although he noted that BTC bulls can still invalidate this current bearish setup.  Bitcoin Price At Risk Of Further Crash As S&P Monthly LMACD Turns Bearish In an X post, Severino indicated that the Bitcoin price could crash further as the S&P 500 monthly LMACD has begun to cross bearish and the histogram has turned red. This development is significant as IntoTheBlock data shows that BTC and the stock market still have a strong positive price correlation.   Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Action Says Bottom Is In, Analyst Reveals What’s Coming The crypto analyst stated that BTC bulls can turn this bearish setup for the Bitcoin price in the next 20 days, as diverging would lead to a bullish setup instead. However, the Bulls’ failure to turn this around for Bitcoin could lead to a massive decline for the flagship crypto, worse than it has already witnessed.  Severino stated that a confirmation of this bearish setup at the end of the month could kick off a bear market or Black Swan type event similar to what happened when the last two crossovers occurred. It is worth mentioning that BTC has already crashed to as low as $76,000 recently, sparking concerns that the bear market might already be here.  However, crypto experts such as BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes have suggested that the bull market is still well in play for the Bitcoin price. Hayes noted that BTC has corrected around 30% from its current all-time high (ATH), which he remarked is normal in a bull run. The BitMEX founder predicts that the flagship crypto will rebound once the US Federal Reserve begins to ease its monetary policies.  BTC Still Looking Good Despite Recent Crash Crypto analyst Kevin Capital has suggested that the Bitcoin price still looks good despite the recent crash. In his latest market update, he stated that BTC remains the best-looking chart and that everything is going according to plan for the flagship crypto. The analyst predicts that Bitcoin could still come down and test the range between $70,000 and $75,000, which he claims would still be completely fine.  Related Reading: Bitcoin 77% Correction To $25,000, Will History Repeat Itself Kevin Capital remarked that the Bitcoin price could remain afloat if it holds a key market structure and the 3-day MACD resets. He added that some decent macro data could help the flagship crypto stay above key support levels. The US CPI data will be released today, which could provide some relief for the market if it shows that inflation is slowing. The analyst is confident that one good inflation report and the FOMC can help turn the tides.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $81,860, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bitcoin has maintained its dominance on the altcoin market even amidst the ongoing price corrections. The leading cryptocurrency has been in the spotlight throughout this market cycle, but a technical outlook suggests that it needs to give way. Particularly, a crypto analyst known as Seth on social media platform X pointed to Bitcoin’s dominance relative strength index (RSI) as a crucial factor that must change before Bitcoin and the broader market can kick off another leg upward. Bitcoin Dominance RSI Hits New Level Seth’s latest analysis, shared on social media platform X, highlights a critical observation regarding Bitcoin’s market dominance. He noted that Bitcoin’s monthly dominance RSI recently surged to 70, a level that has never been reached before in Bitcoin’s history. While this might seem like a bullish signal at first glance, the analyst suggests otherwise, warning that the dominance RSI must cool down for the final phase of the bull run to take place. This perspective comes as the crypto market experiences a downturn, leaving investors questioning when the next bullish wave will begin. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Suffers Bearish Deviation After Filling CME Gap, Is This Good Or Bad? RSI, or relative strength index, tracks the speed and change of price movements and is used to identify overbought or oversold conditions. With Bitcoin’s RSI dominance at such an extreme level, even with the recent price decline, it suggests that BTC’s control over the market is at an unsustainable peak, which could slow down the broader market rally. According to Seth, those who fail to grasp this concept do not understand the fundamental mechanics of financial markets, as this principle applies beyond just Bitcoin and altcoins. Given this, the healthiest path forward would be a reduction in Bitcoin’s dominance over the next few weeks, with the analyst projecting a fall to 44% dominance. Why BTC’s RSI Dominance Decline Matters A decline in Bitcoin’s RSI dominance would mean that the market is shifting toward more balanced conditions, allowing capital to flow into altcoins and drive up their prices. Throughout past bull cycles, particularly in 2021, Bitcoin’s rise to a peak was often followed by a surge in altcoin investments, triggering widespread rallies across the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Consolidates In Tight Zone: Why A Crash To $84,000 Is Likely This pattern has historically marked the final phase of a bull run, where capital flows away from Bitcoin and into altcoins with a higher potential for short-term gains. Until Bitcoin’s dominance cools off, the altcoin sector may struggle to gain momentum and continue to derail the final phase of the BTC bull run. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $81,500, reflecting a 2.5% decline in the last 24 hours. Market data from CoinMarketCap indicates that Bitcoin’s dominance currently stands at 61.0%, having risen by 0.65% within the same period. This growing dominance suggests that capital remains concentrated in BTC. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

The US President Donald Trump has formally established a strategic Bitcoin reserve last week—an action that has ignited both celebration and concern across the industry. At the heart of this debate is one central question: Will Bitcoin become a geopolitically important global macro asset like gold, or will it remain a niche holding among libertarians, cypherpunks, and speculators? That is the core takeaway from Bitwise’s latest investor memo, authored by Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan. Titled “The Only Question That Matters in Bitcoin” and dated March 10, 2025, the memo underscores how the long-term prospects of Bitcoin may hinge on whether governments worldwide—starting with the United States—view it as indispensable enough to keep building strategic reserves. The One Big Question For Bitcoin In the memo, Hougan highlights the striking nature of the US government’s decision, writing: “Fifteen years after Bitcoin was created—a decade and a half of ridicule and skepticism, of people calling it a ‘pet rock’ and ‘rat poison squared’—the US government declared Bitcoin a ‘strategic’ asset that ‘shall not be sold.’” He argues that Bitcoin’s endorsement as a strategic reserve asset signals a historic shift: “It is a historic milestone, which in time will help propel Bitcoin to new all-time highs. Congratulations to all who believed in this possibility before it was cool.” Related Reading: Michael Saylor’s Strategy Unveils $21 Billion Stock Issuance For Bitcoin Yet, markets have not uniformly welcomed this announcement. While the government’s formal recognition would seem to bolster Bitcoin’s legitimacy, it also disappointed some investors who had expected an immediate influx of new government purchases. Shortly after the reserve news emerged, Bitcoin’s price plummeted 13% from its recent high of over $92,000, dropping below $80,000 for the first time since November 2024. Hougan points to several contributing factors: broader economic worries, an equity market pullback, and, crucially, what he calls a “misunderstanding” of the government’s actual stance. “Despite the historic nature of the declaration, Bitcoin is down sharply in recent days,” he notes in the memo. Investors had apparently hoped for immediate large-scale purchases from the US Treasury. Instead, they learned that the reserve would initially comprise the government’s existing Bitcoin holdings—an estimated 200,000 BTC, worth approximately $16 billion at current prices. Hougan believes the market’s negative reaction is unwarranted, emphasizing that merely retaining those 200,000 Bitcoin instead of selling them—once anticipated under the prior administration—removes a substantial overhang from the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin Plays Chicken With Central Banks As Dollar Falls, Says Expert Moreover, the new executive order explicitly states: “[T]he Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce shall develop strategies for acquiring additional Government BTC provided that such strategies are budget neutral and do not impose incremental costs on United States taxpayers.” In his memo, Hougan underscores the significance of the word “shall,” suggesting it indicates a mandate rather than a mere possibility. Above all, Bitwise’s memo insists on a long-term perspective, urging investors to concentrate on what Hougan terms “the only question that matters in Bitcoin.” That question is whether Bitcoin becomes globally important, akin to gold, or whether it remains peripheral. “If Bitcoin does matter globally, here’s my view: It will be a $10-50 trillion asset, implying a 5x-25x return from current prices. If it doesn’t, it’ll be a footnote in history, bouncing around below $150,000, supported only by a small cohort of libertarians, cypherpunks, and speculators. There is no in between. Bitcoin either matters globally or it doesn’t,” Hougan writes. From this vantage point, the US government’s choice to retain (and potentially expand) its Bitcoin holdings represents an enormous signal to other countries. If, as Hougan suggests, nations including Czechia, Russia, China, El Salvador, and India are weighing their own strategic moves in the digital asset space, the US adopting Bitcoin as strategic could spur them to follow suit—especially if they want to front-run any further American acquisitions. While some investors may be disheartened by the immediate lack of massive government buys, Bitwise’s memo remains optimistic in the face of Bitcoin’s recent volatility. Hougan labels the current price dip as an opportunity for those eyeing a longer timeline. “I see one big takeaway. This short-term weakness is a gift,” he concludes.

Since January 31, Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced a significant correction, with the leading cryptocurrency plummeting as much as 27.52%. Currently valued around $79,000, Bitcoin’s price is precariously balanced above a crucial support level dubbed as “the magic line,” which is set at $74,000, pivotal in determining the market’s trajectory—bullish or bearish. A Historical Buffer Against Bear Markets In a recent social media post on X (formerly Twitter), market expert Doctor Profit emphasized that “the magic line” placed at $74,000 in his analysis is not just a number but a key indicator of market sentiment.  Related Reading: Charts Reveal Cardano Holds Key Support Zone – Staying Above Could ‘Set The Next Move’ According to the expert, this line has historically acted as a buffer against bear market conditions. For instance, during the 2020 market correction, Bitcoin held above this support level until a bear market was confirmed. Doctor Profit asserts, “A massive correction, even 30-50%, does NOT mean a bear market.”  This market volatility is exacerbated by fears of a recession, driven in part by President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies targeting countries like China, Canada, and Mexico.  These actions have ignited concerns over a potential trade war, further dampening investor sentiment and leading to a retreat from riskier assets, including cryptocurrencies. However, BTC is not alone in this downtrend. Peers such as Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), have also followed Bitcoin’s lead in this regard, experiencing 10%, 6%,5% and 6% drops respectively in the 24-hour time frame.  Optimal Bitcoin Entry Point Between $52,000 and $60,000? In another recent post on social media platform X, Doctor Profit discussed a possible recession scenario, suggesting that the optimal entry point for investors might be between $52,000 and $60,000.  This forecast implies a troubling potential drop of another 34% from $79,000 towards the worst case scenario for BTC’s price at $52,000 if this occurs, heightening concerns among traders and investors alike.

He has set his sights on a critical short position with a target profit level (TP1) aligning with the magic line.  “If Bitcoin bounces hard, I’ll re-enter,” the market expert stated. Doctor Profit concluded his analysis saying that “If it shows weakness, I’ll stay in cash and hunt for lower entries between $50,000 and $60,000.” While finding at least a temporary foothold at the $79,460 mark, the largest digital asset, BTC, is down 14% in the past two weeks, reaching its lowest level since November 2024.

The Libertarian Party of Australia has formally unveiled its new Bitcoin Policy Whitepaper, with a centerpiece proposal advocating for the establishment of an Australian Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). The announcement was made on March 8 during the BitcoinAlive event. The event showcased the Libertarian Party’s vision for integrating Bitcoin into Australia’s financial and regulatory framework. While the party remains relatively small compared to the nation’s two major political contenders, it aims to influence broader debate on crypto policy. This stance places Australia alongside various US states that are working toward legislative recognition of Bitcoin reserves, as well as the US federal government’s announcement last week. Establishing An Australian Strategic Bitcoin Reserve One of the most prominent features of the Whitepaper is the call to create an Australian Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Referring to Bitcoin’s “decentralized and limited-supply nature,” the Libertarian Party states that: “Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins ensures that its scarcity protects against inflation […] This robustness enhances its appeal as a reliable store of value and positions it as an ideal component of Australia’s financial strategy.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Plays Chicken With Central Banks As Dollar Falls, Says Expert The proposal suggests that such a reserve would hedge against inflation, diversify national assets, and “strengthen the nation’s financial resilience.” According to the document, funding would derive from several possible sources, including allocations from Australia’s Future Fund, budget surpluses, and proceeds from government asset sales. Throughout the 23-page White Paper, a repeated theme is that of personal and financial autonomy—concepts foundational to Bitcoin’s decentralized ethos. One recommendation asserts the right to self-custody, arguing that individuals should be able to hold Bitcoin themselves without reliance on central intermediaries. It reads: “The right to self-custody is paramount for achieving true financial sovereignty and privacy in an increasingly digitized economy.” The paper’s authors contend that self-custody protects against “governmental overreach,” referencing past global financial crises that eroded public trust in centralized institutions. Beyond the reserve, the White Paper advocates for comprehensive legal recognition and clearer regulatory standards. It calls for the removal of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on everyday Bitcoin transactions and outlines a vision in which Australia “positions itself at the forefront of global innovation in financial services.” To that end, the document also proposes: “Treating Bitcoin as a legitimate and viable alternative to traditional financial systems, promoting financial autonomy and inclusivity.” Related Reading: This Bitcoin Signal Aligns With Price Tops, CryptoQuant Analyst Reveals Such moves, the party believes, will encourage further Bitcoin adoption by eliminating “punitive taxation measures” that hamper everyday transactions. Additionally, the White Paper highlights how countries like Germany, Portugal, and Japan have already taken steps to clarify taxation and legal status for Bitcoin users and businesses. Another point of emphasis is fair treatment of Bitcoin mining. Recognizing mounting concerns about energy usage, the policy encourages the integration of mining with renewable or “stranded” energy sources to stabilize power grids and reduce environmental impact: “Bitcoin mining should not be subject to regulations that disproportionately affect the industry. Any regulatory measures must be technology-neutral and focused on broader market stability, grid integrity, and environmental standards.” According to the Libertarian Party, these approaches can help Australia avoid the pitfalls seen in other jurisdictions—such as China, where an outright mining ban led to significant industry disruption. Reactions to the Libertarian Party’s announcement have been mixed. An Australian Bitcoiner remarked: “As an Australian the Libertarian Party is relatively new outside the big two party’s, they won’t get double digits of the vote when the election is finally held. The two majors have no BTC policy that I know of & we really are a backwards country—I won’t hold my breath for any either.” Thus, no immediate impact on the BTC price can be expected. At press time, BTC faced further downward pressure and traded at $79,101. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Michael Saylor, co-founder and chairman of Strategy (formerly Microstrategy), is intensifying efforts to acquire Bitcoin (BTC) by tapping into capital markets, announcing plans to issue up to $21 billion in preferred stock.  Strategy Plans Major Sale Of Preferred Shares According to Bloomberg, the new offering will consist of 8% series A perpetual-strike preferred shares, which are convertible into class A common stock. The company plans to sell these shares through an “at the market offering” program, allowing for flexibility in timing and pricing.  This approach builds on a previous successful effort in January, when Strategy raised $563 million by issuing preferred shares priced at $80 each, which were offered at a discount to their market value. Related Reading: Dogecoin Crash? Analyst Predicts Drop To $0.12 Before Rebound Preferred stocks are unique hybrid securities that combine features of both equity and debt, offering investors a fixed dividend while providing a claim on company assets. The favorable terms of the January deal reportedly attracted significant investor interest, contributing to a strong performance of the newly issued shares. Since late October, Strategy has been actively acquiring Bitcoin, and the latest capital raise is part of a broader strategy to secure $42 billion over the next few years through various securities offerings.  This includes a focus on selling fixed-income securities while managing common stock sales to fund additional BTC purchases. Currently, the firm holds approximately 499,096 Bitcoin, valued at around $42 billion. Shares Drop 10% Amid Bitcoin Crash Despite this purchase plan, Strategy reported that it did not purchase any Bitcoin between March 3 and March 9, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.  This pause comes amid a fluctuating cryptocurrency market, where the market’s leading crypto, BTC, recently trades at $79,000 down 4.5% for the day and approximately 18% on the monthly time frame. The preferred stock market has seen varied performance; while the shares climbed 18% from their initial pricing, they faced a decline of over 6% in a recent trading session as the supply increased.  Related Reading: Cardano Bulls Eye $10 Target – Analyst Reveals Key Levels To Break Despite this fluctuation, the preferred shares have outperformed common stock and Bitcoin over the same period, suggesting a robust demand from investors. As seen in the daily chart below, shares of Strategy (MSTR), also experienced a drop of around 15% to $238 on Monday, reflecting broader market trends that have seen the company’s stock down approximately 10% this year.  In contrast, shares have surged over 2,200% since Saylor began investing in Bitcoin as an inflation hedge in 2020, while Bitcoin itself has risen over 600%. The announcement of Strategy’s plans coincided with recent developments from the US government. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a strategic US Bitcoin reserve, which will be funded through cryptocurrencies forfeited in legal proceedings.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

RLinda, a TradingView crypto analyst who predicted Bitcoin’s previous crash from $91,000, has shared another bearish forecast for the pioneer cryptocurrency. According to the analyst, more pain may be on the horizon for Bitcoin, as it is expected to plummet as low as $73,000.  Bitcoin is currently struggling to maintain its former momentum as bearish factors dominate the market. According to RLinda, the cryptocurrency has entered a sell zone after failing to hold above the buying zone above $91,000, thus initiating a false resistance breakdown. Given its current bearish position, the analyst predicts a major crash to new lows for Bitcoin, anticipating an 11% decline to $73,000 soon. Bitcoin Price Set To Crash To $73,000 RLinda revealed that the market’s volatility was partially attributed to Donald Trump’s comments on the Federal Reserve. The market reacted to the US President’s statements with a global shake-up, causing liquidations across the crypto space.  Related Reading: Bitcoin 9-Month Cycle Says It’s Not Over, Analyst Shows Where We Are In The Bull Run Additionally, the crypto summit, which was expected to spark bullish sentiment, did little to boost prices. Instead, it prevented the market from turning green. This market downturn has led to profit-taking by investors due to the lack of market and manipulation by big players.  Based on the analyst’s price chart, Bitcoin is trading within the $90,000 – $82,000 range. The cryptocurrency dropped to this price after experiencing a slight price pump in late February. Following this increase, Bitcoin lost all of its gains and has since been aiming for a recovery.  RLinda warns that if Bitcoin breaks below the $82,000 support level, it could experience a significant price breakdown towards $78,000 – $73,000. The TradingView analyst has highlighted $73,000 as the primary crash target, citing that Bitcoin is currently in a deep correction phase.  With global growth temporarily suspended, RLinda revealed that the market is in dire need of liquidity. The analyst indicated that if the market’s growth relies too much on bullish leverage and new buyers without proper correction, it may become unstable. A correction phase, like the one Bitcoin is currently experiencing, may allow liquidity to reset and prepare the market for future upward movements.  BTC Key Resistance And Support Zones  RLinda has pinpointed key resistance and support levels for the Bitcoin price, sharing insights into potential reversal points. The TradingView analyst asserts that the price zone with the most interest and liquidity is $73,000 – $66,000.  Related Reading: Legendary Analyst Peter Brandt Lists 6 Reasons Bitcoin Has Flipped Bullish While a breakdown to $66,000 may seem like a steep decline, it could serve as a critical area for market stabilization. Moreover, further bearish movements would be confirmed if Bitcoin drops below $82,000. Currently, the resistance levels to watch are $89,400, $91,000, and $93,000. Conversely, the support areas to take note of are $82,000, $78,000, and $73,000. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin’s price endured another bout of volatility over the weekend, shedding 5% on Sunday to dip below the $80,000 mark, before settling near $82,000. This latest decline places the cryptocurrency roughly 25% below its all-time high of $109,900. Analysts attribute the downturn to ongoing trade tensions—linked to President Donald Trump’s latest tariff measures—and the fears of a looming recession. Meanwhile, a weakening US Dollar Index (DXY), which has fallen from 110 to 103 since mid-January, coinciding with Trump’s second term in office and could be a potential bullish catalyst for the Bitcoin price. In a series of posts on X, Jamie Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at Realvision, offers a look at the current market environment, highlighting two key metrics that could shape central bank policy—and, by extension, Bitcoin’s trajectory. “Bitcoin is like playing a game of Chicken with central banks,” Coutts writes. Related Reading: This Bitcoin Signal Aligns With Price Tops, CryptoQuant Analyst Reveals He explained that while the dollar’s recent decline supports a bullish framework for Bitcoin, rising Treasury bond volatility (tracked by the MOVE Index) and widening corporate bond spreads are causing concern: Coutts emphasized the role of US Treasuries as the global collateral asset. Any spike in their volatility, he argued, forces lenders to impose larger haircuts on collateral, tightening liquidity. “Rising volatility forces lenders to apply haircuts on collateral, thereby tightening liquidity. […] Above 110 [on the MOVE Index] and I suspect there will be a few concerns at the central planner levels.” Over the past three weeks, US investment-grade corporate bond spreads have been widening, a shift Coutts views as a signal that risk assets—including Bitcoin—could face pressure: “This suggests that the demand keeping yields compressed relative to Treasuries is fading—and further widening could be negative for risk assets.” Despite these cautionary flags, Coutts remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s medium-term prospects, primarily due to the dollar’s “rapid decline.” He noted that the dollar’s drop in March—one of the most significant monthly dips in 12 years—historically has coincided with bullish inflection points in Bitcoin’s price. According to his research, “They have all occurred at Bitcoin bear market troughs (inflection points) or mid-cycle bull markets (trend continuations).” Related Reading: If This Happens, Bitcoin Price Will Shoot To $140,000, Says Analyst While acknowledging the limited historical dataset for Bitcoin, Coutts also cited key catalysts he believes could propel the digital asset higher: Nation-State Adoption: “A global nation-state race is underway,” Coutts wrote, describing a scenario in which countries either include Bitcoin in their strategic reserves or ramp up mining efforts. Corporate Accumulation: He points to the possibility of companies—particularly Strategy (MSTR)—adding 100,000 to 200,000 BTC this year. ETF Positions: Exchange-traded funds may “double their positions,” further driving institutional inflows. Liquidity Dynamics: In Coutts’s words, “The Spice Must Flow.” Coutts also mentioned that Bitcoin appears to be “filling a big gap” and reiterated his view that a slide below the high-$70,000 range would signal a fundamental market shift. Meanwhile, he sees central bankers edging closer to possible intervention as Treasury volatility and credit spreads climb: “If Treasury volatility and bond spreads keep rising, asset prices will continue their decline. Meanwhile, this will likely push the central planners to act.” In closing, Coutts offered a concise summary of why he believes Bitcoin is effectively locked in a showdown with central banks: “Think of Bitcoin as a high-stakes game of chicken with the central planners. With their options dwindling—and assuming HODLers remain unleveraged—the odds are increasingly in the Bitcoin owner’s favor.” For now, the world’s largest cryptocurrency appears to be treading a line between macroeconomic headwinds—highlighted by a volatile bond market—and the tailwinds of a weakening dollar. Whether Bitcoin continues to retreat or resumes its long-term ascent will likely depend on how global policymakers respond to mounting bond market pressures—and whether holders are prepared to keep playing “chicken” with the central planners. At press time, BTC traded at $82,091. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Bitcoin has extended its decline below $90,000 as on-chain data shows whales selling off in massive amounts. This price decline comes amidst the otherwise bullish news of Donald Trump signing an executive order for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). The lack of bullish momentum despite this has brought into play the possibility of an extended bearish move from here.  A well-known crypto analyst, Doctor Profit, has raised alarms about an impending major correction in Bitcoin’s price. In a detailed post on social media platform X, he outlined his reasons for this shift, arguing that the current market conditions signal the start of the first large Bitcoin correction of this cycle. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: A Misinterpreted Narrative? Popular crypto analyst Doctor Profit revealed that he is selling a significant portion of his holdings and entering short positions. Notably, the analyst pointed to the recent news surrounding the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as a key factor that led him to reevaluate his bullish stance. He emphasized that while retail investors see this as a game-changing development, large players and whale investors have already priced in the impact.  Related Reading: Legendary Analyst Peter Brandt Lists 6 Reasons Bitcoin Has Flipped Bullish Many crypto investors expected an accumulation of Bitcoin by the US government in order to strengthen the reserve. However, instead of the expected ensuing buying pressure on Bitcoin, the executive order focused on Bitcoin confiscated from previous seizures, which left bullish investors underwhelmed.  According to Doctor Profit, the decision to sign off on this policy earlier than anticipated signaled a shift in market dynamics. His expectation was that this move would materialize months later, allowing Bitcoin’s price to sustain upward momentum before the first significant correction. Instead, he now sees this as the primer for a long-term decline. Is This The Beginning Of Bitcoin’s First Big Correction? Price Levels To Warch Doctor Profit firmly believes that Bitcoin has yet to experience a proper correction in this cycle, noting bull market trends where the asset has seen at least one 40-50% drop before reaching new all-time highs. He sees the recent developments as the final push before a 40% to 50% decline. As such, the analyst noted that this is the ideal window for distributing sell orders and entering short positions. Related Reading: Inverse Head And Shoulders Breakout Suggests Bitcoin Price Is Headed To $300,000 His outlook suggests a retracement to as low as $50,000–$60,000 before Bitcoin resumes its long-term bullish trajectory. Breaking down his trading strategy, he disclosed that he has already sold 50% of his Bitcoin holdings, which he accumulated at $16,000. He has placed short orders within the $90,000–$102,000 range, with target profits set at $74,000 for the first take-profit level, followed by a complete exit in the $50,000–$60,000 region and a full buyback to double holdings. Despite his short-term bearish outlook, the analyst maintains that Bitcoin will eventually rally to new highs in the $120,000–$130,000 range.  At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $86,530.

Bitcoin is making an effort to stage a comeback after dipping to $85,211, but a lack of strong momentum is casting doubt on the recovery. While buyers are attempting to regain control, technical indicators suggest that bullish strength remains fragile, raising concerns about whether BTC can sustain its rebound or face another pullback. With key resistance levels ahead and market sentiment still uncertain, Bitcoin’s next move remains unpredictable. If buyers fail to build enough momentum, BTC could struggle to push higher, leaving it vulnerable to renewed selling pressure.  Bitcoin Tries To Bounce Back BTC’s current price action indicates that bulls are making an effort to stage a rebound from the $85,211 support level after a sharp decline. This attempt follows a period of strong bearish pressure, which intensified when Bitcoin faced heavy resistance at $93,257 and failed to move upward.   Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Attempts a Comeback—Is a Recovery Rally on the Horizon? Despite some signs of stabilization, technical indicators suggest that bullish momentum remains weak. The lack of strong buying pressure raises concerns about whether BTC can maintain its current attempt at a rebound or if another downturn is imminent. Additionally, the price remains below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), signaling that bears still dominate the market. Furthermore, the MACD line and the signal line are edging lower, hinting at a possible decline in bullish momentum. If both lines continue downward and cross into negative territory, it could signal a shift in trend favoring the bears. This weakening performance suggests that buying pressure is not strong enough to sustain a meaningful recovery, increasing the risk of further downside.  A confirmed bearish crossover might reinforce selling dominance, making it difficult for BTC to regain an uptrend. For the bulls to regain control, a surge in buying activity is needed to push the MACD indicators back into a positive trend. Traders should watch key support and resistance levels closely for confirmation of the next trend direction Potential Scenarios: Rebound Or Another Leg Down? If bulls successfully defend the $85,211 support level, Bitcoin could stage a relief rally, driving prices toward the immediate resistance at $93,257. A decisive break above this critical level could open the door for a stronger bullish push, propelling BTC toward $100,000. Such a move would restore market confidence and attract more buyers, increasing the likelihood of continued upside expansion. Related Reading: Bitcoin Reclaims $90K But This Indicator Signals Possible Consolidation Phase However, once Bitcoin fails to gain momentum, a drop below $85,211 may accelerate losses. In this case, BTC might test lower support levels, possibly around $73,919 or even $65,082, before finding stability. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from Tradingview.com

In a newly published chart, Elliott Wave specialist and crypto analyst Big Mike (@Michael_EWpro) outlines a precise roadmap for Bitcoin’s price action, indicating that a break above $95,000—or a bounce from lower support near $72,895—could propel BTC toward the $130,000–$140,000 region. His analysis builds on detailed wave counts, multiple Fibonacci extension targets, and critical moving averages, offering a granular look at the BTC’s near- and mid-term possibilities. What’s Next For Bitcoin? Big Mike’s chart displays a complex Elliott Wave structure consisting of five main impulse waves and interspersed corrective sub-waves. A key area labeled near $72,895 corresponds to wave (c)(iv), representing a major potential bottom if the market breaks below $78,000 and continues lower. Notable corrective waves around $85,000 to $95,000 appear to have formed a larger consolidation phase, which he regards as a precursor to the next directional move. The chart also pinpoints an upside pathway from roughly $95,000, projecting impulse waves (3), (4), and (5) that extend into the $100,000–$140,000 zone. Related Reading: Historic Bitcoin Buy Signal: DXY’s Collapse Signals A Bigger Bull Run Fibonacci extension targets appear at approximately $114,693 (1.618 extension) which could be the target for wave (3), followed by a corrective move to $102,000 before starting wave 5 which aims for $137,727 (2.618 extension), or even a final leg near $150,000 aligns with wave c(3). Moving averages in the $72,000–$90,000 range underscore the significance of support near $78,000–$72,895, while an upper band around $90,000–$95,000 represents a crucial resistance corridor. The analyst observes a descending wedge formation from mid-February to early March, spanning $95,000 down to $85,000, and notes that an upside breakout could herald a renewed push into six-figure territory. Related Reading: This Bitcoin Price Range Could Be The Bulls’ Final Defense Line, Report Says Volume profiles indicate subdued participation during recent corrective phases, alongside a neutral Stochastic RSI reading that suggests momentum could shift decisively depending on which price threshold gives way first. Big Mike emphasizes two critical lines in the sand: “BTC above $95k will trigger the move quickly towards my target of $130-$140k. Below $78k and we test $72k, then run to $140k.” From his perspective, both a direct break above $95,000 and a deeper dip to $72,895 ultimately converge on the same upside target near $130,000–$140,000. At press time, BTC traded at $90,053. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The recent Bitcoin price crash below $90,000 came as a shock to the broader crypto community, especially amid expectations of a continued bull market rally. Despite the volatility and ongoing declines, a crypto analyst projects an even greater crash, suggesting that Bitcoin could fall as low as $63,000 if a certain resistance level holds.  TradingView crypto analyst Alixjey has declared that the Bitcoin price must break past $99,500 to continue moving higher. He highlights that if this resistance holds and Bitcoin fails to break it, the pioneer cryptocurrency will likely face a steeper price decline to new lows of $63,000. The last time Bitcoin was around the $60,000 range was during its massive price rally in 2024 after the launch of Spot Bitcoin ETFs. Considering that Bitcoin has risen as high as $104,000 at one point this year, a crash toward $60,000 would be a devastating blow to investors and its market.  Bitcoin Price Crash Imminent  The TradingView analyst shared a chart suggesting that Bitcoin could rise as high as $106,000 or drop toward the $60,000 to $65,000 range if it fails to break resistance. This price drop is highlighted as a strong buying and accumulation opportunity for long-term investors, as it presents a low entry point into the market. Related Reading: Bitcoin 77% Correction To $25,000, Will History Repeat Itself  During its price highs, many retail investors were likely unable to buy Bitcoin due to its increasing cost. Most accumulations were from whales who had purchased millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin in one swoop.  Alixjey has also labeled his projected $60,000 – $65,000 downturn as the last chance to re-enter the Bitcoin market, emphasizing that it was a prime HODLing point for potential profits in Q3 and Q4 of 2025. This implies that the analyst anticipates a price rebound in Bitcoin later in the year.  Moving on, the TradingView expert highlighted two liquidity levels in the 4-hour timeframe that are likely to be cleared soon. He also acknowledged that he was solely bearish on Bitcoin’s price outlook, indicating that his projected short-term pullback will not be invalidated unless the cryptocurrency crosses the resistance between $94,000 and $98,000. Other factors that could contribute to Bitcoin’s already heightened volatility are the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data. AlixJey predicts that once released, this data could lead to high volatility in both stocks and crypto. He urges investors and traders to be cautious, as major economic reports often influence market movements.  Analyst Sees Upside Potential After BTC Crashes Due to Bitcoin’s recent declines, many analysts have shared bearish projections of the cryptocurrency, expecting a severe price correction before a potential recovery. One such analyst is Herbert Sim, the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of AICean. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Suffers Bearish Deviation After Filling CME Gap, Is This Good Or Bad? Sim projects that Bitcoin will crash to new lows, especially with the recent approval of a crypto reserve in the United States (US). He expects a crash to $40,000 but highlights that it will be short-lived, spanning from weeks, months, and possibly years. However, the AICean CMO suggested that investors who can HODL for the long-term are likely to see more profits once BTC rebounds from bearish trends.

This week, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has recorded one of its largest three-day negative performances in recent history. Since Monday, the DXY is down -5.4%, falling from 109.881 to 103.967—an event some market observers interpret as a bullish inflection point for Bitcoin. Jamie Coutts, Chief Crypto Analyst at Real Vision, has drawn on historical comparisons to argue that the steep DXY decline could portend a significant upswing in the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. DXY’s Historic Drop Signals A Major Bitcoin Rally Coutts presented the findings of two historical backtests on X, detailing how similar DXY drops have coincided with pivotal moments in Bitcoin’s price cycles. He wrote: “When looking at this recent move in the DXY through a historical lens, it’s challenging to be anything but bullish. I ran a signal screen for 3-day negative moves of more than -2% & -2.5% and found they have all occurred at Bitcoin bear market troughs (inflection points) or mid-cycle bull markets (trend continuations).” Although the statistical significance is limited by Bitcoin’s relatively short trading history, Coutts underscored that these data points are nonetheless worth considering. Related Reading: This Bitcoin Price Range Could Be The Bulls’ Final Defense Line, Report Says In his first backtest covering DXY declines of more than -2.5%, Coutts found such a scenario on eight occasions since 2013. Over a 90-day period following those declines, Bitcoin rose every single time, giving it a perfect 100% win rate. The average return was +37%, which would translate to an estimated BTC price of around $123,000, while a move of one standard deviation above that average reached +63% (approximately $146,000 BTC). Even in the worst instance, Bitcoin still managed to gain 14%, putting it around $102,000 BTC. In his second backtest focusing on DXY declines of more than -2.0%, there were 18 such occurrences since 2013, and Bitcoin was up 17 out of those 18 times for a 94% win rate. The average 90-day return stood at +31.6%, close to $118,000 BTC, while a one standard deviation move was +57.8% (around $141,000 BTC). The worst 90-day return after such a DXY drop was -14.6% (approximately $76,500 BTC). Related Reading: US To Buy 1 Million Bitcoin For Reserves, Hints Michael Saylor Acknowledging that these backtests cannot offer guarantees, Coutts stated, “I made a bold call yesterday about new highs by May. I try to base projections on robust data points. Ofc this time might be different. Let’s see.” Analysts often view a declining DXY as a sign of improving risk appetite in global markets, which can favor alternative stores of value and risk assets, including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The US Dollar Index’s abrupt retreat comes on the heels of regulatory concerns and a challenging February for Bitcoin, yet Coutts maintains that the larger trend looks remarkably similar to historical points of resurgence. He also noted in a post from the previous day: “Don’t think people understand the significance of the DXY move in the past 3 days and what it means for Bitcoin. […] The DXY saw its 4th largest negative 3-day move—massively liquidity-positive. Just as Bitcoin nuked and had its worst Feb in a decade. Meanwhile, in altcoin land, the Top 200 crypto index puked one more time. The chart shows that 365 days of New Lows hit 47%, a hallmark of capitulation in a bull cycle. The stage is set for a new all-time high in Bitcoin and Top 200 aggregate market cap by May.” At press time, BTC traded at $88,404. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto analyst Master Ananda has asserted that the bottom is in for the Bitcoin price following its massive crash below $80,000 last week. In line with this, the analyst revealed what to expect next from the flagship crypto.  Bitcoin Price Action Shows Bottom Is In  In a TradingView post, Master Ananda claimed that the bottom is in based on the current Bitcoin price action. He stated that last week’s drop, touch-and-go, is the perfect bottom signal. The analyst further remarked that $78,300 can be taken as the bottom, which represents a 28% decline from BTC’s all-time high (ATH) of $109,000.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Flag Pole Pattern Puts Price At $120,000, Analyst Explains The Roadmap Master Ananda also noted that this was a classic retrace, as there always is one after a strong bullish breakout. He explained that this classic retrace is good for the Bitcoin price because the flagship crypto will take its time to build up strength. The analyst added that taking time to grow is good, and is the only way it can work if BTC is to move higher in the long term. Meanwhile, as to what is next for the Bitcoin price, the crypto analyst stated that on average, daily price increases of $500 or $800 can reveal how long it will take to reach higher prices and higher levels in the coming months. Master Ananda then suggested that the flagship crypto could reach $200,000 next month.  Master Ananada then advised market participants to buy and hold seeing as the low is in for the Bitcoin price. He added that the market is giving a second opportunity, as market participants have the chance to buy at relatively low prices. The crypto analyst also mentioned that BTC is in an accumulation phase and asserted that it will go up and continue to grow in the long-term.  BTC Regaining Momentum Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also affirmed that the Bitcoin price is regaining momentum. He noted that BTC has reacted strongly to the Kijun acting as support on the weekly chart. The analyst added that a weekly close above the Tenkan at around $94,000 would confirm a shift in momentum and reinforce the bullish case for the flagship crypto.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price At The End Of The Bull Market? Analyst Shows Where We Are In The Cycle Meanwhile, in another X post, the analyst asserted that the Bitcoin bull market is still on. He claimed that there was no bear market in sight according to the Supertrend indicator. As such, the analyst believes that it is not yet time to be bearish. His accompanying chart suggested that the Bitcoin price could still rally to above $200,000 before the bear market kicks in.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $92,000, up over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

MicroStrategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor suggested that the United States might purchase one million Bitcoin for its strategic reserves. His remarks came during an interview with FOX Business ahead of Friday’s White House Crypto Summit, to be hosted by US President Donald Trump. Saylor, whose company is widely known for its significant Bitcoin holdings, confirmed that MicroStrategy owns approximately 500,000 of the digital tokens, accounting for “about 2.4% of the worldwide supply.” He is one of several crypto-industry figures expected to join the presidential roundtable that will advise the administration on digital asset policy. Will Trump Buy 1 Million Bitcoin? When asked how the government would finance such a large crypto reserve, Saylor pointed to a deliberate, multi-year timeline, referencing a “six-month process” set out by the recent executive order. He added: “There are 12 members on the presidential working committee. There’ll be involvement from the industry. There’ll be involvement from the Senate and from the house and I and it’s above my pay grade to decide how it is determined.” Related Reading: Bitcoin’s ‘KISS Of Death’? Arthur Hayes Warns Of Recession Before Surge According to Saylor, “the longest bill [by Senator Lummis] has laid out the idea of acquiring Bitcoin strategically over four years, just consistently day by day in order to reach a million Bitcoin target.” Currently, the US government is believed to hold 200,000 BTC—worth an estimated $17 billion at today’s prices. Should it proceed with additional large-scale purchasing, the effect on the price of Bitcoin could be considerable. However, Saylor argued that the most “responsible” approach would be “to go slow and steady and deliberate with clear telegraphing and transparency” rather than making abrupt acquisitions that could roil the market. Central to Saylor’s stance is the classification of Bitcoin as “digital property,” an asset without a central issuer. “The real key about Bitcoin is for people to understand that it’s a digital property. It’s a savings account that empowers every single American to save their wealth and preserve it over time,” Saylor explained. He emphasized that if the US government provides clarity around this status, it could instill greater confidence in citizens to consider cryptocurrencies a legitimate savings vehicle.

In discussing whether taxpayer money should be used to purchase Bitcoin, Saylor drew a distinction between different digital assets. While Bitcoin (as a “digital commodity”) is, in his view, well-suited for strategic reserves, he also acknowledged the importance of digital currencies (stablecoins), tokenized securities (for capital efficiency), and token-based utility projects. Nevertheless, he singled out Bitcoin as the prime candidate for a national reserve, calling it “the one universally agreed-upon foundational asset in the entire crypto economy.” ???????? MICHAEL SAYLOR HINTS THE USA WILL BUY 1 MILLION #BITCOIN FOR ITS RESERVE ???? IT’S HAPPENING ???? pic.twitter.com/jr73piPfNY — Vivek⚡️ (@Vivek4real_) March 5, 2025 Saylor also addressed skeptics who question the rationale for a national Bitcoin reserve compared to more traditional strategic reserves such as oil or medical supplies. He compared Bitcoin to property, invoking a historical analogy: “We bought 75% of this nation with about 40 million dollars […] We bought Louisiana. We bought California. We bought Texas. We bought Alaska. It’s property. If you think of Bitcoin as property in cyberspace and you say where is all the money in the world headed? Well, it’s headed from foreign countries […] It wants to go from the physical world to the digital world.” For those concerned about the fundamental ethos of Bitcoin as a decentralized asset with no government involvement, Saylor insisted that official adoption need not contradict the cryptocurrency’s original design. “Satoshi gave us a process, a protocol for prosperity. That’s what we call Bitcoin,” he said. While early adopters may have favored minimal regulation, Saylor believes nation-states “interested in economic empowerment and prosperity” will inevitably follow individuals and corporations into the digital domain.

Renowned macro analyst and Real Vision founder Raoul Pal has issued a forecast that the ongoing Bitcoin bull market may stretch into 2026—well beyond most conventional expectations of a peak in 2025. In a recent presentation, Pal walked through a range of macroeconomic indicators, historical price behaviors, and liquidity metrics that he says paint a compelling picture for an extended uptrend in digital assets. Bitcoin Bull Market Depends On M2 At the heart of Pal’s thesis lies the notion of Global M2 money supply, a metric tracking the total liquidity in circulation worldwide. Pal observed that Bitcoin, along with other risk-on assets, tends to correlate closely with changes in Global M2. “If this is the case, then M2 is going to keep going up all f***ing year. If that is the case, then crypto and risk assets like tech will do well all year.” By comparing current liquidity trends to those seen in 2017—when the dollar weakened considerably and equity markets soared in US President Donald Trump’s first term—Pal argues that the macro backdrop appears similarly poised for expansion. According to him, if major economies continue easing, it may drive the next phase of explosive crypto growth. Related Reading: Inverse Head And Shoulders Breakout Suggests Bitcoin Price Is Headed To $300,000 Pal’s thesis revolves around the impact of global liquidity, particularly the role of Global M2 money supply as a leading indicator for Bitcoin and risk assets. He presented a correlation between Global M2 growth and crypto market performance, stating: “If this is the case, then M2 is going to keep going up all f***ing year. If that is the case, then crypto and risk assets like tech will do well all year.” His analysis draws parallels to 2017, when Trump’s fiscal policies and monetary easing led to a prolonged period of dollar weakness, which fueled the crypto cycle. Similar conditions are unfolding now, with expectations of rate cuts and stimulus measures. A crucial factor in Pal’s extended bull market thesis is the business cycle, which he tracks through the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Index. Historically, an ISM reading above 50 signals economic expansion, which correlates with Bitcoin’s price surges. He noted: “Bitcoin goes up as the ISM goes up […] If the ISM gets up to its normal cycle peak of somewhere between 56 and 65, that will give us the magnitude of the rise in Bitcoin.” Pal suggested that if ISM continues its upward trajectory, Bitcoin’s price could exceed $300,000 or higher. However, he refrained from making precise forecasts, emphasizing that probabilities, not certainties, drive market analysis. Addressing the altcoin market, Pal maintained that Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) remain key components of his portfolio. Despite Solana’s recent drawdown of over 53%, he dismissed fears of a long-term decline: “Solana has overshot versus global M2 […]Solana should outperform Bitcoin for the rest of the cycle and Ethereum too, with Sui outperforming Solana.” His broader view on altcoins is based on risk appetite shifts as financial conditions ease. Historically, altcoins outperform Bitcoin in the latter half of the cycle when investors seek higher-beta opportunities. Pal criticized the notion that there will be no altcoin season in this cycle, stating, “That’s all f****ing nonsense.” Related Reading: Bitcoin’s ‘KISS Of Death’? Arthur Hayes Warns Of Recession Before Surge Pal emphasized that large pullbacks are a feature, not a bug of crypto bull markets. He detailed past corrections, pointing out that the current cycle has seen seven 20%+ corrections while maintaining a 600% gain from the lows. He warned traders against leverage and panic selling, reinforcing his “Don’t F* This Up**” thesis: “To make the money, to unf*** your future, you’re going to have to learn to deal with volatility.” He compared the current correction to 2017, which saw multiple 30-40% pullbacks before peaking. Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) also indicates that the market is the second most oversold in this cycle, suggesting a potential recovery in the coming months. Extending The Cycle To 2026 One of Pal’s most striking assertions is that the current cycle could extend into 2026 rather than peaking in 2025, as many analysts have projected. His reasoning is based on the prolonged period of economic stagnation before growth acceleration. He stated: “The business cycle is taking a long time below 50. It’s starting to expand now. That has probably extended the cycle into 2026.” While he clarified that this is not a prediction but a working hypothesis, the implications could be significant. A longer cycle would allow for higher valuations, a sustained investment influx, and a gradual rather than explosive blow-off top. Pal reiterated that the crypto market follows a predictable pattern, with a year-long “banana zone” of exponential growth. He noted that the current correction phase aligns with past cycles and should lead to a renewed rally by April-May. “We are now in correction phase one […] Then as we go into March, April, May, we start accelerating up again into the next phase of the banana zone.” However, he warned that investors should expect another major correction before the final market top, cautioning against overleveraging and late-cycle exuberance. Summarizing his outlook, Pal urged investors to maintain perspective and resist emotional trading. He emphasized the importance of long-term vision, proper portfolio construction, and patience: “You guys need patience more than anything else and need to understand markets […] Our futures are resting on the same thing.” At press time, BTC traded at $88,617.

The Bitcoin price is struggling to recover from recent declines, as the market downtrend has kept it significantly below the $100,000 mark. Amidst this volatility, Bitcoin is experiencing a bearish deviation that is filling a new Chicago Mercantile (CME) Gap. This has triggered a fresh prediction from a crypto analyst who believes that the pioneer cryptocurrency is set for a higher high. Bitcoin Price To Form Higher Low As CME Gap Fills Crypto analyst Rekt Capital took to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday to share his projected outlook for the Bitcoin price. The analyst highlighted that Bitcoin is currently undergoing a bearish deviation, which is filling a massive gap on the CME futures chart. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Who Correctly Called The Bitcoin Price Surge From $15,400 To $100,000 Reveals What’s Next CME gaps are disparities between closing and opening prices in the Bitcoin futures market. They appear when Bitcoin’s price moves as the exchanges close over the weekend and reopen on weekdays. Over the past few days, Bitcoin has been filling its new CME gap amidst the broader market downturn. This downward move was expected, as the Bitcoin price often gravitates toward unfilled CME gaps before resuming regular activity. Despite Bitcoin’s present bearish deviation, Rekt Capital believes that the downtrend could present an opportunity for the market to form new higher lows. The analyst shared two charts, with one revealing several resistance and support zones for the Bitcoin price. The orange and yellow boxes in the chart suggest strong support areas where Bitcoin has historically bounced, while the blue boxes highlight past resistance areas. In the second chart, Rekt Capital showcases repeated breakout patterns, where BTC consolidates and then initiates a surge. If the cryptocurrency can make the expected higher low above last week’s low, this could confirm that Bitcoin’s broader uptrend may still be intact. Conversely, if it fails to hold above support levels and declines again, the market may see a more resounding crash, potentially triggering sell-offs and exacerbating the bearish trend.  Analyst Foresees A Move Towards $95,000 Not too long ago, Bitcoin shocked the market, skyrocketing by more than 9% in one day and surging back above the $90,000 mark. According to X crypto analyst Jelle, this massive price surge was the higher low the market was anticipating. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals When Bitcoin Price Will Reach $180,000 The analyst suggests that the surge has paved the way for BTC to build a more solid base and slowly make its way toward the $95,000 mark. While the price of BTC currently trades at $87,596 and faces bearish pressures that have triggered multiple price crashes, Jelle believes that the cryptocurrency can overturn bearish conditions and initiate a recovery.  As of this writing, it appears Bitcoin may be slowly recovering from the bears. The cryptocurrency has surged by 5.3% in one day, and its market capitalization is also up by the same amount despite its declining trading volume.

The Bitcoin price action is showing strong bullish signals, as a rare Inverse Head and Shoulder pattern has just broken out and retested its neckline. This technical setup suggests that Bitcoin could be gearing up for a mega rally to $300,000 soon. Analyst Forecasts Bitcoin Price Reversal On Monday, crypto analyst Gert van Lagen took to X (formerly Twitter) to forecast an imminent Bitcoin price surge to $300,000. The analyst presented a detailed price chart depicting the formation of an Inverse Head and Shoulder pattern, showcasing its left shoulder, head, right shoulder, and neckline.  Related Reading: Bitcoin $166,000 Target Still In Play? The Extension That Determines Where Price Goes Next Based on his analysis on X, Lagen highlights that Bitcoin has successfully broken above the neckline of this technical pattern, confirming a possible bullish reversal. Specifically, the Inverse Head and Shoulder pattern is a classic technical indicator that signals a shift from a bearish trend to a bullish trend. The left shoulder of the pattern highlights a price decline followed by a temporary recovery. The head suggests a deep drop, marking the lowest point of the trend. The right shoulder indicates a smaller decline followed by a breakout above the neckline. Bitcoin broke above the pattern’s neckline around the $86,972 price point. Lagen has pointed out that a successful retest of this neckline could solidify Bitcoin’s bullish move. This is because, historically, once this pattern is confirmed, cryptocurrencies tend to witness significant upside momentum.  Based on the measured move of the Inverse Head and Shoulder, Lagen predicts that Bitcoin is on track to reach $300,000 this bull cycle. This would represent a whopping 258.4% increase from its current market price. The analyst also highlights a sell line between $340,000 and $380,000; here, traders are likely to exit or take profits.  Supporting this bullish outlook is a parabolic step-like formation on the Bitcoin price chart. Lagen revealed that this follows a series of formations from Base 1 to 4 before triggering an explosive price rally. Currently, Bitcoin has completed Base 3 and is entering its final parabolic phase. This technical formation aligns with the Elliott Wave theory that suggests that a strong Wave 5 could result in a significant price surge.  While the analyst is confident in his $300,000 Bitcoin price projection, he warns that it could be completely invalidated if BTC drops below $72,900 in the weekly timeframe. Furthermore, a break below this threshold could signal a deeper price correction and delay the rally. Update On BTC’s Price Analysis While analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s future outlook, the cryptocurrency experiences bearish momentum. In just 24 hours, Bitcoin lost virtually all the price gains it had accumulated since President Donald Trump announced plans for a crypto reserve. Related Reading: Bitcoin Flag Pole Pattern Puts Price At $120,000, Analyst Explains The Roadmap The cryptocurrency was trading above $92,000 the previous day. However, Bitcoin has been down 9.18% in the last 24 hours and a whopping 16% over the past month, according to CoinMarketCap. This severe price decline has pushed the value of Bitcoin down to $83,699 as of writing. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

In a recent interview with CNBC, Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, reiterated his bullish outlook on Bitcoin (BTC), predicting the cryptocurrency could reach a staggering $200 trillion market cap.  Saylor Forecasts $10 Million Per Bitcoin Currently valued at about $2 trillion, Saylor believes Bitcoin’s trajectory will see it grow to $20 trillion and eventually hit the $200 trillion mark, translating to an approximate price of $10 million per BTC based on its capped supply of 21 million coins. Saylor attributes this potential growth to a global shift in capital investment, stating, “That capital is coming from overseas… from China, from Russia, from Europe, from Africa, from Asia, from the 20th century to the 21st century.”  Related Reading: Ethereum Price Breaks Out—10% Surge Sparks Bullish Momentum His forecast comes against the backdrop of President Donald Trump’s recent announcement regarding the creation of a Crypto Strategic Reserve, which would include BTC alongside Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), which ignited a heated debate within financial and crypto circles. While Saylor acknowledges the appeal of a Bitcoin-only reserve, he supports Trump’s broader strategy that encompasses multiple cryptocurrencies. He emphasized, “There’s no way to interpret this other than this is bullish for Bitcoin and is bullish for the entire US crypto industry.”  Although some conservatives, such as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss, have advocated for more restrictive, Bitcoin-centric policies, Saylor noted that the president’s approach allows for a more inclusive economic policy. Saylor Dismisses Volatility Concerns  When asked about his involvement with the White House, Saylor confirmed he has been in discussions with various lawmakers, both Democratic and Republican, as well as members of the Cabinet and administration.  “For the last four and a half years, I’ve been talking about Bitcoin to anybody, anywhere in the world, every day,” Michael Saylor stated during his interview, highlighting his commitment to promoting the cryptocurrency. Saylor argues that establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve could provide the United States with significant economic advantages, including the potential to alleviate the national debt.  Saylor posits, “If the United States takes a position in the emerging crypto economy, if it buys up 10, 20% of the Bitcoin network, we’re going to pay off the national debt. And so why wouldn’t that be in the interest of the United States?” Related Reading: Dogecoin Will Start A Move To $4 If Current Demand Holds – Can Bulls Step In? Addressing concerns about Bitcoin’s notorious volatility, Saylor pointed to its historical long-term gains, asserting, “I don’t think anybody’s ever lost money in the Bitcoin network holding for four years. Presumably, you want to buy Bitcoin, you want to hold it for 100 years.” The proposal for a US Crypto Reserve is still in its infancy, and Saylor indicated that its success will depend heavily on legislative decisions made in the coming months.  “There are a dozen people on it: the head of the Treasury, the SEC, the CFTC, Commerce, the Attorney General, the President… both the Republicans and the Democrats,” he noted, emphasizing the diverse range of opinions that will influence the outcome. At the time of writing, BTC has found support at around $83,869 after posting losses of 7% and 6% over the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively.

In his latest blog post, titled “KISS of Death,” former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes outlines a provocative thesis on the trajectory of Bitcoin and broader financial markets under the renewed presidency of Donald Trump. Hayes—who has long held bullish views on crypto—argues that a convergence of fiscal and monetary policies could catapult Bitcoin’s price to as high as $1 million during the Trump 2.0 era, but only after a period of recession-driven turmoil. Breaking Down Bitcoin’s “KISS Of Death” Hayes’s framework revolves around the “KISS” principle—Keep It Simple, Stupid—urging market participants to stay focused on the core driver of asset prices: liquidity. Rather than overreacting to sensational headlines, he contends that one should watch for shifts in the quantity and price of money (i.e., how much credit is created and at what interest rate). “One day, you buy and then quickly sell after digesting the next headline,” Hayes warns. “The market chops you in the process, and your stack quickly diminishes.” He recommends sticking to a simpler outlook: If the U.S. government prints significant amounts of money at lower rates, risk assets like Bitcoin can surge. Related Reading: Bitcoin Repeats Historic Pattern—Is a Breakout Toward $100K Next? A key premise of Hayes’s analysis is that President Trump, a “real estate showman” by background, will debt finance his “America First” agenda rather than embrace austerity. Hayes contrasts Trump with Andrew Mellon—Treasury Secretary under Herbert Hoover—who once allegedly declared: “Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate farmers, liquidate real estate. It will purge the rottenness out of the system.” Hayes argues that such a stance would be political suicide for a president seeking to be viewed as the 21st-century Franklin D. Roosevelt rather than Hoover. As Hayes puts it, “Trump wants to be considered the greatest President ever” and is therefore inclined to loosen credit conditions rather than tighten them. Hayes highlights Trump’s unconventional maneuver to slash federal spending and potentially trigger a recession, thereby forcing the Federal Reserve to respond with rate cuts and fresh liquidity. The newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by high-profile entrepreneur Elon Musk, is portrayed as an aggressive effort to expose fraud and reduce waste in government programs. Hayes cites DOGE’s claims that Social Security payments may be going out to deceased individuals or unverified identities, supposedly costing hundreds of billions—or even a trillion—dollars a year. “Trump and DOGE are firing hundreds of thousands of government employees,” Hayes notes, referencing media reports citing elevated jobless claims in the Washington, D.C., area. By cutting federal budgets so drastically and so quickly, Trump could—in Hayes’s words—“cause a recession or convince the market that one is right around the corner.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Sellers Incur Loss As SOPR Drops To 0.95 – A Sign Of Market Bottom? Once signs of recession appear, Hayes predicts Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will have little choice but to cut rates, end quantitative tightening (QT), and potentially restart quantitative easing (QE) to avert a widespread financial crisis. Powell, whom Hayes dubs a “turncoat traitor” (a reference to the Fed’s past rate cut during Kamala Harris’s campaign), is nonetheless bound by the Fed’s mandate to maintain economic stability. Hayes points to $2.08 trillion in US corporate debt and $10 trillion in US Treasury debt that must roll over in 2025. If the economy slows, rolling that debt over at high interest rates becomes unfeasible. In that scenario, the Fed’s only salvation is fresh money creation and lower rates. Hayes calculates that a full Fed response—encompassing several policy shifts—could result in as much as $2.74 to $3.24 trillion in new liquidity: Dropping the Federal Funds Rate from 4.25% to 0% could be equivalent to roughly $1.7 trillion of money printing, according to Hayes’s estimates. Currently, the Fed conducts $60 billion per month in QT. If QT ends by April 2025, Hayes sees a $540 billion liquidity injection relative to prior expectations. Additional Treasury purchases by the Fed or US commercial banks (the latter aided by a relaxation of the Supplemental Leverage Ratio) might add another $500 billion to $1 trillion in dollar credit. He compares this to the $4 trillion in stimulus measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given that Bitcoin jumped roughly 24x from its 2020 lows to 2021 highs in response to that liquidity wave, Hayes says even a more conservative 10x multiple could be in play. “For those who ask how we get to $1 million in Bitcoin during the Trump presidency, this is how,” he proclaims, linking massive credit creation with a sharply higher BTC price. Despite his bullish long-term forecast, Hayes believes Bitcoin’s immediate outlook may be rocky. Hayes sees potential for Bitcoin to revisit the $70,000 to $80,000 range in the short-term—levels that are markedly above the prior cycle’s all-time high but still below the current market. “If Bitcoin leads the market on the downside, it will also do so on the upside,” Hayes writes, positing that BTC often bottoms out before traditional equities. He cites the significant run-up to $110,000 around mid-January (Trump’s inauguration timeline) followed by a pullback to $78,000 in late February. “Bitcoin is screaming that a liquidity crisis is nigh, even though the U.S. stock market indices are still near their all-time highs,” he notes. “I firmly believe we are still in a bull cycle, and as such, the bottom at worst will be the previous cycle’s all-time high of $70,000,” Hayes says, underscoring his conviction that any major dips are opportunities to accumulate rather than panic-sell. In Hayes’s view, the “Kiss of Death” is not about Bitcoin’s demise but about the outdated fiat system struggling to contain spiraling debt loads and political brinkmanship. He argues that the short-term chaos in traditional markets—triggered by DOGE-driven spending cuts and a hesitant Fed—will ultimately pave the way for a new round of monetary expansion. The bottom line? Hayes insists that staying focused on liquidity is the best strategy: “Let politicians do politician things, stay in your lane, and buy Bitcoin.” At press time, BTC traded at $83,725.

Bitcoin surged past $95,000 during low-liquidity trading hours on Sunday after US President Donald Trump made a major announcement. The formation of a US Crypto Strategic Reserve, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), set the market ablaze with speculation. Many traders viewed this as a defining moment, one that could solidify crypto’s place in the U.S. financial system, while others remained wary, questioning whether the rally could sustain itself beyond the immediate reaction. Among those skeptical is QCP Capital. A Well-Timed Political Bitcoin Play? The timing of Trump’s announcement is difficult to ignore. Throughout the past week, risk assets faced mounting pressure as global markets reacted negatively to a series of economic and geopolitical developments. Trump’s newly imposed tariffs rattled investor confidence, while shaky Ukraine-Russia peace talks created additional uncertainty. Stock market volatility intensified, weighing heavily on sentiment across the financial sector. Related Reading: Bitcoin STH Average Cost Basis At $90,950 — Why Is It Relevant? Bitcoin broke below its multi-month range, showing signs of weakness before Trump’s announcement. The sudden announcement was a stark contrast to the downward trajectory risk assets had been following. QCP Capital highlighted the political strategy behind the move: “For a president who thrives on being the market’s hero, last week’s risk asset performance performance was anything but inspiring. His slew of new tariffs and shakier than expected Ukraine-Russia peace talks rattled investor confidence. So, while the timing of the SBR was somewhat unexpected, the political calculus was clear — Trump needed a win before his approval ratings starts slipping, a metric he likely takes very personally.” However, questions remain as to whether this move represents a genuine shift in policy toward long-term crypto adoption or simply a well-timed announcement aimed at stabilizing sentiment before further economic strain emerges. While Bitcoin’s rapid ascent over the weekend excited traders, QCP Capital remains unconvinced that this rally represents a meaningful breakout. The firm pointed to several key market signals that indicate Bitcoin is not yet out of the woods. QCP Capital cautioned: “Are we back in the game? Not quite. BTC is still trading near the bottom of its multi-month range and frontend crypto vols are still relatively elevated with both majors still reflecting a Put Skew till end-March. The VIX is also elevated, signaling broader market unease in risk assets overall, particularly after the recent tariff escalations from the US administration.” Lessons From The Past: The ‘Xi Candle’ Comparison For seasoned traders, the weekend’s price action is reminiscent of a historical event in the crypto market—the infamous Xi Candle of 2019. Prominent crypto analyst Cold Blooded Shiller took to X to draw comparisons between the two events. Reflecting on the Xi Candle, Cold Blooded Shiller recalled how Bitcoin had been in a prolonged downtrend, trading at fresh lows with market sentiment at rock bottom. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that China should embrace blockchain technology. The result was a massive short squeeze, with Bitcoin skyrocketing by 40% in just two days. Traders at the time believed it marked the beginning of a new bullish era for crypto. “Sentiment was very quick to adjust. You’ll be surprised (not) to hear that it didn’t take much back then to shape the whole mindset of Twitter into the positives and ability for the market to now have an infinite bid,” he wrote. However, the euphoria was short-lived. Several weeks later, China backtracked on its pro-blockchain rhetoric, implementing fresh crackdowns on crypto exchanges and warning investors about the risks of digital assets. Bitcoin’s gains slowly eroded, with price action reversing over the following month and ultimately dipping below pre-announcement levels. Related Reading: Is The Bitcoin Bull Cycle Really Over? This Indicator Suggests Price Could Rebound To $130,000 “We did not immediately reverse the candle. It actually took many weeks to do that, which made it all the more painful for those trading it or those who had their bullish bias,” Cold Blooded Shiller recalled. The similarities between the Xi Candle and Trump’s Crypto Reserve announcement are striking. Both events followed prolonged periods of market weakness, both saw a dramatic shift in sentiment almost overnight, and both created a new bullish narrative that was widely embraced by the market. The key question now is whether Trump’s announcement will lead to a sustained trend shift or if, like the Xi Candle, it will eventually fizzle out, leaving late buyers trapped at the top. Key Events To Watch This Week Bitcoin’s ability to maintain its gains or extend higher will likely depend on key macroeconomic and regulatory developments in the coming days. On Wednesday, markets will receive the latest Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) data, a crucial economic indicator that could influence expectations for Federal Reserve policy. If PMI data shows signs of economic weakness, it could increase speculation about potential rate cuts, which may provide a tailwind for risk assets, including Bitcoin. However, stronger-than-expected data could reinforce the view that the Fed will maintain its restrictive policy stance, potentially pressuring crypto and equities alike. Friday brings the release of the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, a key employment indicator that has historically influenced market sentiment. A strong jobs report could signal continued economic resilience, reducing the likelihood of near-term rate cuts, which could negatively impact Bitcoin. Conversely, a weaker-than-expected report could fuel risk-on sentiment, further supporting BTC’s momentum. Also on Friday, the White House Crypto Summit is expected to provide critical insights into the future of the US Crypto Strategic Reserve. If tangible announcements emerge, BTC could rise further. However, if the event fails to deliver meaningful policy direction, the market could react negatively, leading to increased volatility. As QCP Capital put it, “Just when we think Trump has exhausted his cards, he may still have more surprises up his sleeve. Will this be the push toward that elusive all-time high? We’ll be watching.” At press time, BTC traded at $90,352. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

After a week of notable crashes, Bitcoin has again seen life breathed into its price trajectory and has reclaimed its mark above $90,000. The major primer for the return of bullish momentum was the announcement of a US crypto strategic reserve by President Donald Trump over the weekend, which could be the beginning of an extended rally for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. With the return of bullish momentum, veteran financial analyst Peter Brandt listed six reasons Bitcoin has flipped bullish. Peter Brandt Lists Six Reasons Bitcoin Has Turned Bullish Bitcoin has seen its value rise by approximately 9% in the past 24 hours, adding about $166 billion to its market capitalization. This marks a swift change from the decline last week, which saw Bitcoin declining to fill a CME gap below $80,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Enters Ascending Phase After Cup And Handle Formation At $105,000, Here’s The Next Target Renowned for his deep technical expertise, Peter Brandt took to social media to outline six reasons why Bitcoin has now returned to a bullish trajectory. His observations are rooted on a series of technical developments that have unfolded over the past week.  Brandt’s first key point is Bitcoin’s recent 30% correction. Notably, Bitcoin’s recent crash to a bottom at $78,900 marked a 30% correction from its January 30 all-time high of $108,786. This level of pullback is typical in strong bull markets and often precedes the next leg up. The second reason why Bitcoin has flipped bullish is its ability to find support along its parabolic advance despite the recent dip. Another factor reinforcing Bitcoin’s bullish outlook is the successful retest of a CME futures gap below $80,000. Interestingly, this gap had been a key concern even as Bitcoin rallied to above $100,000 in January, with technical analysis warning of a drop toward this level. Now that the CME gap has been filled, the next step is the resumption of bullish momentum. Brandt also highlighted the emergence of a “foot shot doji” candlestick pattern, which typically indicates the exhaustion of selling pressure and a potential reversal. Furthermore, he referenced the Factor three-day trailing stop rule to indicate that Bitcoin is regaining strength. Lastly, he pointed to a high-volume “puke out,” where sellers have exited Bitcoin in capitulation. Taken together, these signals suggest that Bitcoin’s latest rally is not just a temporary bounce but a confirmation of bullish momentum.  What’s Next For BTC As Bullish Signals Strengthen? At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $92,443 and everything surrounding its fundamentals now points to a continued move upwards in the coming weeks. Interestingly, you could argue that institutional invesments through Spot Bitcoin ETFs have yet to be factored into the price of Bitcoin following Trump’s announcement of a US crypto strategic reserve.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Risks Crash: Analyst Paints Picture Of Drop Below $30,000 The announcement came over the weekend when traditional markets were closed, meaning the bullish momentum was largely driven by retail traders. With this, Bitcoin is likely to push past the $100,000 mark again before the end of the week as institutional inflows pick up. Featured image from iStock, chart from Trsdingview.com

Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto has revealed that Bitcoin’s open interest has crashed to a six-month low. The analyst further explained what happened the last time this low open interest occurred while providing a bullish outlook for the flagship crypto.  Bitcoin’s Open Interest Crashes To 6-Month Low  In an X post, CrediBULL Crypto revealed that Bitcoin’s open interest is at the lowest levels it has been at in six months. He noted that the BTC price was trading between $50,000 and $60,000 the last time the open interest was this low. The analyst also revealed that Bitcoin’s funding rate just ticked negative. He also noted that the same thing happened while the flagship crypto was trading between $50,000 and $60,000 just before its rally to $100,000.  Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Who Correctly Called The Bitcoin Price Surge From $15,400 To $100,000 Reveals What’s Next Interestingly, CrediBULL Crypto asserted that these metrics overall look “fantastic” for Bitcoin and further solidified his belief that the flagship crypto has formed a bottom. Indeed, BTC looks to have formed a bottom as the flagship crypto has rebounded to as high as $95,000 following its drop below $80,000 last week. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also suggested that the Bitcoin price has found its bottom. In an X post, he noted that historically, BTC tends to rebound when the daily Relative Strength Index drops below 30. He then revealed that the RSI was sitting at 24, indicating that the flagship crypto had bottomed out and was well due for a rebound.   BTC Needs To Hold Above This Range To Confirm Reversal However, despite Bitcoin’s rebound to as high as $95,000, CrediBULL Crypto suggested that market participants shouldn’t get too excited yet. He stated that the pump doesn’t mean much unless BTC clears the key resistance at around $93,000. The analyst remarked that moving up to this range was the easy part but “strength” is getting past it.  Related Reading: Bitcoin $166,000 Target Still In Play? The Extension That Determines Where Price Goes Next Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also echoed a similar sentiment. He stated that Bitcoin is currently pushing through $94,000, breaking above the Kumo cloud. The analyst added that the flagship crypto needs to stay above this price level before the reversal can be confirmed.  However, Titan of Crypto still provided a bullish outlook for the Bitcoin price, suggesting that a reintegration might be about to occur, which could send the flagship crypto into a markup phase. His accompanying chart showed that BTC could rally above $126,000 as it enters this markup phase.  Meanwhile, Martinez revealed that the Bitcoin bull run remains intact according to the aSORP indicator. He also stated that global liquidity is on the rise again, and with BTC lagging behind this metric, the analyst remarked that this could signal a unique buying opportunity.  At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $91,000, up over 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

A new Bitcoin Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap has just been opened around $78,000 and $80,700. Analysts warn that this price range could act as a magnet for further downturns in the Bitcoin price, making it a critical area to watch in the coming days. According to crypto analyst Rekt Capital on X (formerly Twitter), Bitcoin is currently facing increased volatility as it moves closer to filling a key CME gap between $78,000 and $80,700. A CME gap represents price disparities on the Bitcoin Futures chart traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Open Bitcoin CME Gap Signal Further Downturn  Typically, the CME Bitcoin Futures market operates only on weekdays, meaning price movements that occur during weekends tend to leave price gaps. These spaces get filled as price action retraces to cover the imbalances left behind. Related Reading: Bitcoin Liquidity Blocks Tell A Story: Here’s Why $96,000-$111,000 Is Most Important Bitcoin’s current CME gap between $78,000 and $80,700 was formed in early November 2024, when the cryptocurrency experienced a sharp price breakout above resistance. Since then, Bitcoin has not revisited this zone; however, Rekt Capital believes it is fast approaching it now.  The analyst revealed that after hitting a peak above $100,000, Bitcoin quickly retraced, experiencing a deep correction that pushed it down to its current price of $79,267. Rekt Capital points out that Bitcoin’s recent decline aligns with historical fractals where CME gaps get filled before its price finds a new direction.  According to his chart analysis, if Bitcoin continues on its current downward trajectory, the price range between $78,000 and $80,000 will need to be closely monitored. Holding this range would signal a potential reversal and renewed bullish momentum. However, a failure to maintain support could clear to further declines, with the next major support levels around $71,535 and $60,590. Other market analysts share a similar sentiment. Crypto VIP Signal on X has projected a decline towards the $72,000 – $74,000 support area should Bitcoin fail to maintain the CME gap price level. The analyst highlights that this gap range is BTC’s last chance for a price bounce as the market looks increasingly bearish. BTC Enters Oversold Levels For The First Time Since 2024 In addition to its recently opened CME gap, Bitcoin has also entered oversold conditions for the first time since August 2024. This suggests that the Bitcoin price has dropped significantly and is supposedly trading below its actual value, potentially signaling a possible rebound.

Considering the current declined state of the market, this new discovery is seen as a positive signal. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that in 2024, when Bitcoin reached similar oversold levels, it led to a massive 33% price surge. This implies that if historical trends were to repeat, BTC could also initiate a strong price rally to the upside. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin is experiencing a severe downturn over the past few days. After trading above $96,000 on Monday, its price slipped below $80,000 today for the first time since November 11. This rapid decline marks a nearly 18% slump since the start of the week. From its all-time high of $109,588 on January 20, Bitcoin has now shed approximately 27% of its value. Several factors have converged to exert downward pressure on the cryptocurrency. These include the newly imposed Trump tariffs, large-scale outflows from spot BTC ETFs, and exceptionally high levels of liquidations in the futures markets. While sentiment has clearly taken a hit with the Fear and Greed Index at 16 (“Extreme Fear”), some analysts note that these conditions could also be setting the stage for the next significant move––be it further downside or a potential rebound.

Renowned crypto analyst Scott Melker, also known as “The Wolf Of All Streets,” highlights a developing bullish divergence on multiple timeframes. In a post on X, Melker writes: “BTC 4-HOUR: Bullish divergence still building after the hidden bearish divergence I was watching for. This could fail, obviously, but RSI is holding up well. If you have been following me for years, this is my favorite signal when confirmed. Oversold RSI with bullish divs building over multiple timeframes.” Technical analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino, CMT (@tonythebullBTC) believes the market may be tracing out a familiar corrective pattern similar to what occurred in 2021 and 2022. He suggests this pattern “could get an extended fifth of a fifth situation that takes us well into late 2025.” He added that “this does mean this could go a lot lower than many are expecting, to about $75,000 if the same higher degree fractal is followed to the 0.5 Fib retracement.” Severino also cautions that traders “do not want to see Bitcoin tag the monthly Parabolic SAR, currently located at $75,742,” as a breach of that level could signal a deeper correction. He expects the Parabolic SAR will rise slightly by the monthly close, potentially pushing the critical support zone into the low $80,000 range.

He points to a possible retest of Bitcoin’s weekly kijun, referencing “weekly kijun support at 74k if we keep going.” Olszewicz notes Bitcoin last tapped the weekly kijun during the yen carry trade unwind in August 2024—an event that saw heightened volatility across global markets. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades (@DaanCrypto) draws parallels with previous market cycles when Bitcoin’s Daily RSI dipped to the 20 level: “The last time BTC was this ‘oversold’ [at 20] on the Daily RSI was back in August 2023 when it was trading at $25K. The time before that was after the FTX implosion at the bear market bottom in late 2022. Short term this means little but it should start peaking your interest.” He also spotted significant buy orders on Binance futures: “BTC ~$1.8 Billion in Bids has appeared on the Binance futures pair. These bids are sitting between $70K-$79K. What happens when bids like these appear is varied. Sometimes price never moves into them, when it does start hitting them, it often fills a lot of them before (shortly) reversing. Keep in mind, these are bids that can just as easily be pulled away. Highlighting this as it’s an insane amount and this is something you rarely ever see.” Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, highlights the role of liquidity in determining Bitcoin’s trajectory. He noted spot volume was “highly active around $100K,” but explained that “prices drop when new liquidity dries up.” For Ju, the key question is: where will fresh liquidity come from if the market is already in a distribution phase? He foresees a potential extended consolidation between “$75K-$100K,” resembling Bitcoin’s price action in early 2024. Such a range could persist until a fresh catalyst emerges. “We’ll likely see an extended consolidation in the wide range (e.g., $75K-100K), similar to early 2024, imo. This could last until some good news for Bitcoin brings in new liquidity,” Ju predicts. At press time, BTC traded at $78,856. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
