A cryptocurrency analyst has highlighted how Bitcoin has been trading inside a Triangle that could set up a 15% move for the asset. Bitcoin Is Potentially Consolidating Inside A Symmetrical Triangle In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about a technical analysis (TA) pattern that Bitcoin has been trading inside recently. The pattern in question is a “Triangle,” which is a type of consolidation channel that, as its name suggests, has a triangular shape. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bearish Momentum Losing Steam? Analyst Flags Key Metric The pattern is characterized by two converging trendlines. The lower of these is considered likely to be a point of support for the price, while the upper one that of resistance. A break out of either of these bounds can imply a continuation of trend in that direction. Triangles can be of a few different types based on the orientation of the trendlines with respect to each other and the graph axes. In an Ascending Triangle, the upper level is parallel to the time-axis. Similarly, the lower level being parallel creates a Descending Triangle. When both trendlines approach each other at a roughly equal and opposite slope, the pattern formed is known as a “Symmetrical Triangle.” The Triangle shared by Martinez that Bitcoin has been trading inside is the closest to this type. Below is a chart that shows the trajectory in cryptocurrency’s hourly price inside the pattern at the time of the post. As is visible in the graph, the 1-hour Bitcoin price found a bounce from the lower level of the triangular channel shortly before the post. Since then, however, BTC has seen some decline, which has taken it below the support line. This could be a potential indication that a breakout is occurring. In the post, Martinez had noted that the Triangle could set up a potential 15% move for the asset. This figure is based on the fact that Triangle breakouts are generally assumed to end up being of the same length as the height of the channel at the point where the trendlines are the furthest apart. Related Reading: Bitcoin Accumulation Notably Weaker Than Nov 2025 Bounce: Glassnode If the latest price drop indeed reflects a break out of the pattern for Bitcoin, then this 15% move could possibly follow to the downside. Symmetrical Triangles tend to have an equal probability of a breakout occurring in either direction, since there is roughly an equal bias both up and down. This time, however, it would appear that the bearish direction might be the one in store for BTC. BTC Price Bitcoin has dropped to the $66,300 mark following its drop over the past day.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) struggle to hold key price levels is raising fresh concerns across crypto markets, even as spot exchange-traded funds continue to control tens of billions of dollars in assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin May Gain If AI Job Losses Trigger Bank Stress, Hayes Says The largest cryptocurrency has fallen back below the psychologically important $70,000 mark, trading around $68,000 after weeks of steady selling pressure and weakening momentum. While institutional products still hold significant capital, analysts say the market structure shows growing downside risk rather than stability, with technical patterns, whale activity, and macroeconomic uncertainty all pointing to a fragile outlook. BTC's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: BTCUSD on Tradingview Bearish Chart Signals and Whale Activity Intensify Pressure Technical indicators suggest the correction may not be finished. Market analysts highlight a developing “bear pennant” formation, a pattern that typically appears after sharp declines and often precedes another leg lower. A confirmed breakdown could push Bitcoin toward the $55,000–$60,000 range, representing roughly a 20% decline from current levels. On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows rising inflows into exchanges from large holders. The ratio tracking major transactions moving onto trading platforms recently reached elevated levels, historically associated with increased sell-side pressure. Analysts interpret this as preparation for distribution rather than accumulation. Additional data suggests the market has entered a “stress phase,” with losses mounting among newer investors while long-term holders remain profitable. Similar setups in past cycles often preceded extended consolidation or deeper corrections before recovery. Bitcoin ETFs Remain Large, But Not Necessarily Bullish Despite price weakness, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs still hold about $85 billion in assets, equivalent to more than 6% of the circulating supply. However, analysts caution that ETF resilience may not reflect strong bullish conviction. Research indicates a large portion of ETF ownership is dominated by market makers and arbitrage funds maintaining hedged positions rather than directional bets. Funds linked to asset managers such as BlackRock continue to see activity, but flows have recently turned negative, marking several consecutive weeks of net outflows. Institutional positioning is also shifting elsewhere. Filings show Harvard University reduced part of its Bitcoin ETF exposure late last year, highlighting a more cautious stance among some large investors. Macro Uncertainty And Sentiment Keep Markets On Edge Broader financial conditions are adding to pressure. Bitcoin has remained closely correlated with technology stocks and risk assets, both of which have reacted to expectations of prolonged higher interest rates. Upcoming Federal Reserve signals and economic data releases are likely to shape the short-term direction. Sentiment indicators tracked by Matrixport show extreme fear dominating markets, a condition that sometimes precedes rebounds but can also accompany late-stage corrections.

Speaking at the World Liberty Forum in Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon called for the United States to establish a clearly defined, rules-based framework governing how crypto markets operate. Goldman CEO Urges Clear Rules In an interview with CNBC, Solomon said it is essential that lawmakers take a long‑term view as they shape crypto legislation. “As an American, I think it is very important that as we put legislation in place, we get it right for the long term,” he said. Related Reading: Macro Wobbles May Send Bitcoin Back To The $50,000s, Industry CEO Claims “I believe that to operate markets safely and soundly, we need to have a rules‑based system,” he added. Solomon emphasized that the US banking system is distinct and must function alongside emerging technologies rather than be displaced by them. He also dismissed the notion that crypto can thrive in a “regulatory vacuum.” “If there are people who think we are going to operate in this environment without rules, they are probably wrong, and they should move to El Salvador,” Solomon remarked, underscoring his view that structure and oversight are non‑negotiable. At the same time, Solomon made clear that Goldman Sachs is paying attention to digital assets. He described himself as “super‑interested in” crypto‑related business and noted that the firm is active in areas such as digitization and tokenization. “We obviously are doing a bunch of things around digitization and tokenization,” he said. “We touch all that stuff.” Still, the bank’s CEO cautioned that digital assets remain a relatively small slice of Goldman’s overall operations. Crypto Market Structure Bill To Be Signed By End Of April? Solomon’s comments came as debate intensifies in Washington over the fate of the anticipated crypto market structure bill, often referred to as the CLARITY Act. Earlier in the day, Senator Bernie Moreno acknowledged that he still has “some concerns” about the bill. Nevertheless, he expressed optimism that Congress could pass the measure “hopefully by April,” clearing the way for President Donald Trump to sign it into law. Moreno also dismissed concerns that delays could jeopardize the bill if Democrats were to regain control of Congress in November’s midterm elections. With some Republicans worried about potentially losing at least the House, Moreno projected confidence. “The House isn’t going to go Democrat, and neither is the Senate,” he predicted. Related Reading: $274 Billion In Potential Bitcoin Selling Could Hit Markets, Expert Says Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also suggested on Tuesday that once remaining disputes over stablecoin rewards between banking and crypto sectors are resolved, the CLARITY Act could move quickly toward passage. While acknowledging that the bill is not flawless, he maintained that no legislation ever is. He went further, estimating there is an 80% chance the market structure bill will be signed into law by the end of April. Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com

Stellar (XLM) is attempting to regain balance after a period of steady selling pressure, with price action now settling near key support levels. Related Reading: After Extreme Pessimism, Crypto Market Conditions Begin To Stabilize: Analysts Following several failed attempts to reclaim higher resistance, the Stellar price has entered a consolidation phase that analysts say could determine its direction heading into March. While bearish sentiment remains visible in derivatives markets, improving technical signals suggest a possible recovery if buyers regain control. Currently, XLM trades around $0.16–$0.17, reflecting recent declines alongside broader weakness across the crypto market. The token’s ability to hold support near $0.16 is now viewed as a critical factor for any near-term rebound. XLM's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: XLMUSD on Tradingview Mixed Sentiment Keeps Stellar Price in Consolidation Market data shows traders remain divided on Stellar’s short-term outlook. Funding rates have turned negative, indicating that short positions currently outweigh bullish bets. The long-to-short ratio also remains below one, reinforcing a cautious market stance. Despite this bearish positioning, broader activity across spot and futures markets appears balanced, suggesting indecision rather than strong downward conviction. Analysts note that increasing whale activity in futures markets could signal early accumulation, though confirmation remains limited. The recent Stellar price rejection at a descending trendline has capped upside momentum for now. However, price stability around current levels indicates selling pressure may be weakening after recent declines. Technical Indicators Hint at Fading Bearish Momentum Momentum indicators are beginning to show gradual improvement. The RSI sits in neutral territory near the low-40s after rebounding from oversold conditions, suggesting room for movement in either direction. A sustained move above the neutral 50 level would strengthen the recovery case. Meanwhile, the MACD has stabilized, with signs of a potential bullish shift after recent negative momentum slowed. Bollinger Band positioning places XLM near its mid-range, highlighting consolidation rather than a strong trend. Key resistance levels remain overhead. The descending trendline and the 50-day moving average near $0.19–$0.20 represent major hurdles. A successful breakout above this zone could open the path toward higher recovery targets. March Outlook: $0.20 Target Depends on Support Hold In a bullish scenario, holding support between $0.16 and $0.165 could allow XLM to gradually climb toward $0.18 and potentially retest the $0.20 level in March. Such a move would require stronger buying volume and broader market stability. On the downside, failure to defend current support may push the token toward February lows near $0.136. Analysts warn that continued crypto market weakness could accelerate this scenario. Related Reading: World Order Shift Sparks New Crypto Cycle, Analyst Predicts Currently, Stellar appears locked in a decisive range, with consolidation shaping expectations for the weeks ahead. Whether XLM can transition from stabilization to recovery will likely depend on both technical confirmation and overall market sentiment as March approaches.
