Over the weekend, the cryptocurrency market saw heightened bearishness, with Bitcoin’s price pulling back sharply and dropping below $70,000. With the BTC price shifting toward a downward trend, the percentage of supply held at a loss has surged, reaching a crucial level.

Growing Share Of Bitcoin Holders Face Losses

After the sudden weekend pullback, Bitcoin market dynamics are experiencing a shift that might shape its direction in the coming days or weeks. As its current decline intensifies, BTC is still under pressure to decline, driving an increasing percentage of its circulating supply into the loss area.

Darkfost, a market expert and verified author at CryptoQuant, recently reported on the X platform that roughly one of two investors is currently sitting at a loss. More specifically, this is the amount of Bitcoin that is kept in each Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO).

This suggests that more Bitcoin is now held at prices lower than their purchase price, indicating how short-term market participants are experiencing increased stress. Rising supply in losses has frequently emerged close to times of market stabilization and is thought to be a crucial sign of market sentiment.

On-chain data currently shows that about 43% of the supply kept in UTXO is in loss, demonstrating the extent to which unrealized losses have propagated throughout the network. In the past, the histogram illustrates that about 75% of the Bitcoin supply has been profitable. The expert highlighted that this level often serves as a rough boundary between a bull trend and a market correction. 

Typically, when bull trends are confirmed, they accelerate once the market moves above that level. However, corrections usually start to take shape when a larger portion of the supply starts to lose money. With 57% of supply in profit, the market is currently at levels more similar to those observed during deep bear market stages.

Bitcoin is starting to show signs of stabilization here, which aligns with the ongoing consolidation. Meanwhile, the market may still decline in order to further shake out long-term holders. At the same time, the share of supply in loss could be pushed toward around 45%, marking a level that has been reached in previous bear markets.

BTC Recovering On The ETF Front

Even in the volatile landscape, fresh data from CryptoRus shows that Bitcoin is still witnessing a post-ATH supply reset. During this period, BTC reserves on cryptocurrency exchanges have been declining since late 2024, which means fewer coins are left in these trading platforms. In addition, this trend signals reduced selling as investors choose self-custody wallets, underscoring long-term holdings. 

CryptoRus noted that Spot BTC ETF holdings plummeted after Bitcoin reached a new all-time high, a situation that probably contributed to the recent price correction as demand from institutional investors fades. However, these ETF outflows are beginning to stabilize, signaling a crucial shift in demand.

If the ETF starts to record positive flows again while crypto exchanges’ reserves continue to drop, the balance of supply and demand for BTC might quickly tighten.

The traditional banking sector in the United States is reportedly intensifying its opposition to crypto firms and considering a potential lawsuit against the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) over federal licenses granted to these companies. 

According to a Monday report by The Guardian, the Bank Policy Institute (BPI) is evaluating its legal options after the OCC did not respond favorably to repeated warnings from influential banking groups and state regulators concerning its reinterpretation of federal licensing rules.

Banks Demand Action Against OCC’s Crypto Licenses

Since President Donald Trump took office, the OCC has streamlined the process for crypto firms and fintech startups to acquire and operate under a national bank trust charter, which allows them to serve customers in all 50 states. 

This resulted in conditional bank charters being approved for five major crypto firms, including Ripple, Circle (CRCL), BitGo, Paxos, and Fidelity, back in December of last year. 

However, traditional banks express concern that this approval effectively releases these firms into the broader financial system without the stringent oversight and controls that fully-fledged banks undergo. 

In October, the Bank Policy Institute publicly urged the regulator to reject license applications from notable crypto and blockchain companies, including Circle, Ripple, and the London-based payment firm Wise. 

The BPI, which counts banking leaders such as Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan, Brian Moynihan of Bank of America, and David Solomon of Goldman Sachs among its board members, cautioned that granting lighter regulatory frameworks to firms offering bank-like services could blur the lines defining what constitutes a “bank.” 

This, they argued, could exacerbate systemic risk and undermine the integrity of the national banking charter. Currently, the BPI is contemplating whether to initiate legal action against the OCC.

Smaller Banks And State Regulators Also Push Back

The Guardian also reported that the OCC’s approach to crypto has also faced resistance from smaller banking groups and state regulators.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors, which represents regulators from all 50 states, sent a letter to the OCC last month arguing that granting regulatory approval to crypto and payment firms would compromise competition, consumer protection, and financial stability.

Similar concerns were echoed by the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), an organization representing approximately 5,000 smaller banks. 

The ICBA warned that the current proposals to issue licenses to crypto companies would create a “loophole” in core banking regulations and raise serious public policy concerns about consumer safety and the overall stability of the financial services sector.

Майнеры на днях добыли в сети Биткоина 20-миллионную монету. Итого добыто около 95,2% общего предложения первой криптовалюты, сообщили эксперты издания The Block.

Crypto pundit CW has noted that transactions on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) are rising rapidly, which presents a bullish outlook for XRP. The analyst noted how this is a positive signal and could indicate that a bullish reversal may be on the horizon for the altcoin. 

Transactions On The XRP Ledger Are On The Rise

In an X post, CW shared CryptoQuant data showing that transactions on the XRP Ledger are increasing. He noted that in a bear market, investors generally leave the market, and transactions decrease. Meanwhile, an increase in transactions is a pattern that occurs before a rally.

CW stated that the increase in transactions on the XRP Ledger is a positive signal, especially given that it has rebounded strongly from the lows recorded in December 2024. The increase in this metric comes amid a market downtrend, partly due to increasing tensions between the U.S. and Iran. 

Oil prices have continued to rise amid the U.S.-Iran war, reaching as high as $115 today, its highest level since 2022, putting XRP and the broader crypto market at risk. On-chain analytics platform Glassnode recently revealed that 36.8 billion XRPs are currently in loss at current levels, which translates to an unrealized loss of $50.8 billion. 

Crypto analyst ChartNerd stated that a big move is brewing for XRP based on this development. The analyst had alluded to the liquidity heatmap, noting that there was a liquidity stack to the downside between $1 and $1.20. He also revealed that there is a liquidity stack to the upside at $1.80. As such, XRP could drop to between $1.20 and $1 to grab the downside liquidity before it then rebounds to grab the liquidity at around $1.80. 

Why XRP Could Still Drop To $0.7

In another X post, ChartNerd predicted that XRP could still drop to $0.7. He noted that this prediction is partly based on Bitcoin’s structure and the tendency to follow 4-year cyclical behavior, with prices topping out in the fourth quarter of last year. The analyst added that mid-term years, such as this year, are also historically bearish for crypto. 

ChartNerd said that XRP could rebound sooner, alongside Bitcoin and the broader market. However, he noted that Bitcoin’s structure repeats like clockwork during typical bearish mid-term years and bear markets. As such, the analyst remarked that it is important for BTC to hold the support on its $60,000 low to invalidate a decline towards $50,000 to $40,000, which could open the door for XRP to drop towards $0.70. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.35, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Treasury sent Congress its GENIUS‑Act‑mandated report on “innovative tools” to fight crypto‑enabled illicit finance.

A Crypto’s “Hold Law” And A Privacy Paradox

In a 32-page report submitted to the US Congress this March, the U.S. Treasury Department has endorsed lawful uses of crypto mixers (a service that takes in cryptocurrency from many different users, mixes all those coins together, and then sends each user back an equivalent amount from the pool, but from different addresses than the ones they used to deposit) in favor of privacy.

However, it has also urged lawmakers to create a new “digital‑asset‑specific hold law” so platforms can freeze suspicious funds.

Mixers, Privacy And DPRK

The report notes favorably that mixing and similar tools “can be used by lawful users seeking to enhance financial privacy on public blockchains,” including for “protecting sensitive information about personal wealth, business transactions, or charitable donations from public view. It adds that Treasury “recognizes that privacy‑enhancing technologies, including mixers and other obfuscation tools, may serve legitimate purposes when used by compliant actors in line with applicable AML/CFT requirements.”

On the other side, the same report also stresses that North Korea’s cyber units and major ransomware crews rely on mixers, cross‑chain bridges, and rapid swaps as core infrastructure to launder massive hauls from hacks and fraud. The report cites billions of dollars in stolen digital assets tied to DPRK actors and details how those funds are pushed through mixers and into stablecoins before being bridged and cashed out, using the same tools that ordinary users might pick for privacy.

What The “Hold Law” Would Do

Therefore, to tackle this paradox, the report proposes a “hold law” that would ensure that legitimate, clean, users keep their privacy while unlawful or suspicious activity can be addressed. Under the proposal, crypto exchanges and other regulated platforms would gain a clear and legal “pause button” for suspicious funds. The report recommends that “Congress establish a digital‑asset‑specific statutory ‘hold’ authority” that would allow platforms “to temporarily retain or delay the movement of digital assets associated with suspected illicit activity while appropriate legal process is pursued.” Firms could temporarily hold or delay those assets when strong red flags appear, with statutory cover for doing so.

The idea would be to give law enforcement time to act against ransomware crews, large fraud schemes, or state‑sponsored hackers, while limiting the tool to narrowly defined, high‑risk cases so routine customer flows are not frozen by default.

TradFi and Legacy media have often linked mixers to money laundering, with Tornado Cash as the obvious cautionary tale. Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin has repeatedly argued that mixers are neutral tools, even saying he used Tornado Cash to make a private donation to Ukraine, and is now backing ‘compliant’ designs like Privacy Pools that aim to protect on‑chain privacy without commingling with known dirty funds.

Another Piece On The GENIUS Act Puzzle

The report is part of the broader GENIUS Act framework, the law Trump signed to create a federal regime for payment stablecoins and push “innovative” tools against illicit finance. It fulfills a mandate for Treasury to spell out how AI, digital identity, and blockchain analytics should be used under a risk‑based AML approach.

The report also proposes a preferred tech stack (AI, digital ID, blockchain analytics, APIs) that regulated platforms should deploy under a risk‑based AML approach.

Руководитель компании Trezor Матей Зак (Matej Zak) заявил, что главным риском для криптоинвесторов в этом году будет не волатильность рынка, а способ хранения активов.

Крупнейший публичный корпоративный держатель биткоинов, компания Strategy приобрела 17 994 биткоинов на $1,28 млрд. Фирма совершала покупки с 2 по 8 марта при средней стоимости $70 946 за монету.

Der Preis für US-Öl ist im vorbörslichen Handel auf über 120 $ pro Barrel gestiegen, nachdem die anhaltende Eskalation des Konflikts mit dem Iran wichtige Versorgungsleitungen im Nahen Osten unterbrochen und weltweite Besorgnis über den Energiemarkt ausgelöst hat.

Berichte über Angriffe auf die Energieinfrastruktur und die Verschärfung der Beschränkungen in der Straße von Hormus haben die Referenzpreise nach oben getrieben. Dies lässt alte Sorgen über Inflation und globales Wachstum wieder aufleben, die die traditionellen Märkte hart getroffen haben.

Bitcoin hat sich während der jüngsten Schwankungen überraschend stabil über 67.000 $ gehalten und die Aufmerksamkeit erfahrener Investoren auf sich gezogen, die mehr als nur ein passives Engagement in der führenden Kryptowährung suchen.

Dies ist einer der Hauptgründe, warum der Presale von Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) in diesem Zeitraum starke Kapitalzuflüsse verzeichnete, da die Teilnehmer nach praktischen Wegen suchen, um das Beste aus ihrem Bitcoin herauszuholen.

Da die Bitcoin Layer-2-Technologie in den kommenden Monaten an den Start gehen soll und der HYPER-Presale schnell seinem Ende entgegengeht, scheint Bitcoin Hyper bereit zu sein, für echten Aufwind zu sorgen, sobald sich die Lage beruhigt.

Ölpreise übersteigen 120 $: Iran-Konflikt erschüttert die Märkte

Die Situation im Iran hat sich innerhalb von nur neun Tagen von einem angespannten Stillstand zu einer umfassenden globalen Störung ausgeweitet. Dies zeigt, wie schnell sich wirtschaftliche Instabilität ausbreitet, sobald Panik einsetzt.

Die Angriffe auf wichtige Anlagen und die durch iranische Angriffsdrohungen unterbrochenen Schifffahrtswege haben echte Versorgungsprobleme verursacht und die Öl-Futures stark nach oben getrieben, wobei die USO-Futures (US-Öl) heute Morgen die Marke von 120 $ überschritten haben.

Experten beginnen offiziell, den Konflikt mit dem Iran als „Krise“ für die Teilnehmer aller Finanzmärkte einzustufen, insbesondere angesichts der Auswirkungen, die die Situation auf die Inflation und mögliche Dominoeffekte haben könnte.

Dennoch sind die Preise von Bitcoin und Ethereum trotz allem stabil geblieben. Letzte Woche überstieg BTC sogar die Marke von 70.000 $ (nach der expliziten Unterstützung von Donald Trump für die Web3-Industrie und dem US-Klarheitsgesetz), während sich die 2.000 $ als wichtiges Schlachtfeld für ETH-Trader erwiesen haben.

Der US-Aktienmarkt fiel während der heutigen vorbörslichen Sitzung, was die Widerstandsfähigkeit der Kryptowährungen umso beeindruckender macht.

Der Analyst Ted Pillows hob die Unterstützung durch Orderbücher in „Whale“-Größe für BTC und ETH hervor, was darauf hindeutet, dass die großen Marktteilnehmer „bereit sein könnten, jeden signifikanten Rückgang aufzukaufen“.

Das Vertrauen ist spürbar, wenn Whales solche Bewegungen diskret vollziehen, aber auch der Presale von Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) hat sich bei Smart-Money-Investoren als beliebt erwiesen.

Angesichts hunderter Käufer, die herbeieilen, und einer großen Anzahl, die sogar sechsstellige Beträge auf einmal in HYPER investiert, ist offensichtlich, dass viele Menschen nach Bitcoin-bezogenen Projekten suchen, die mehr ermöglichen, als nur auf die nächste Kursbewegung zu warten.

Bitcoin Hyper sammelt fast 32 Millionen US-Dollar ein: So funktioniert es

Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) eine der neuen Kryptowährungen ist, die die schnellste Layer-2-Lösung (L2) der Geschichte entwickelt, die speziell für Bitcoin konzipiert wurde.

Sie nutzt die ausfallsichere Proof-of-Work-Sicherheit von Bitcoin und kombiniert sie mit der ultraschnellen Geschwindigkeit der Solana Virtual Machine. Das bedeutet, dass man nahezu sofortige Transaktionen und minimale Gebühren erhält, während alles sicher auf der Hauptkette von Bitcoin abgewickelt wird.

Die dezentrale kanonische L2-Bridge ermöglicht es, BTC zwischen den Layern zu bewegen, ohne die Kontrolle abzugeben, sodass Staking, Trading und die Ausführung von dApps innerhalb des Bitcoin-Ökosystems verbleiben.

Da die Ölvolatilität wieder im Fokus steht, ist der auf Nutzen ausgerichtete Ansatz von Bitcoin Hyper besonders zeitgemäß. Bitcoin hat einmal mehr bewiesen, dass er in makroökonomischen Stürmen als Wertaufbewahrungsmittel fungieren kann, und Bitcoin Hyper führt diese Stärke weiter, indem es Inhabern ermöglicht, ihre BTC produktiv zu nutzen.

Die Roadmap des Projekts ist zudem perfekt auf die wachsende Akzeptanz abgestimmt. HYPER wird die einzige Möglichkeit sein, Governance-Stimmen zu erwerben, Staking-Belohnungen zu generieren und Transaktionsgebühren auf der neuen L2 zu bezahlen; ein Grund, warum das Momentum selbst in der letzten anderthalb Wochen ungebrochen war.

Wie man mit dem Bitcoin Hyper Presale beginnt

In Anbetracht dessen, was wir bisher gesehen haben, überrascht es nicht, dass der HYPER-Presale bereits fast 32 Millionen US-Dollar eingesammelt hat. Der aktuelle Preis von HYPER liegt bei 0,0136767 $ (allerdings nur für die nächsten Stunden), und frühe Teilnehmer können sofort Staking-Belohnungen von 37 % erhalten.

Die offizielle Website von Bitcoin Hyper macht den Einstieg einfach. Dort angekommen, nutzt man einfach das integrierte Widget, um sein Krypto-Wallet zu verbinden, und kann damit beginnen, HYPER-Token im Tausch gegen ETH, USDT, USDC, BNB oder SOL zu erwerben.

Die Seite akzeptiert auch Bankkartenzahlungen, falls man den Krypto-Tausch komplett umgehen möchte.

Für mobile Nutzer bietet Best Wallet eine einfache Möglichkeit, HYPER zu kaufen und zu staken – zum gleichen Preis und mit der gleichen Staking-APY – und anschließend die Bestände zu verfolgen.

Traders watching Bitcoin climb alongside US software stocks last week may have drawn the wrong conclusion. According to NYDIG, a financial services company focused on Bitcoin, the visual parallel is misleading.

Only about 25% of BTC price movement can be traced back to its relationship with equity markets. The remaining 75% is driven by forces that have nothing to do with the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq.

Greg Cipolaro, head of research at NYDIG, made the case in a Friday note. His argument: when Bitcoin and software stocks move in the same direction, it is not because they are structurally linked. Both are reacting to the same macro pressures — the kind that push investors toward or away from risk assets broadly.

“The conclusion that Bitcoin and software equities have structurally converged is overstated,” Cipolaro wrote.

A Shared Macro Trigger, Not A Common Identity

Bitcoin’s 90-day rolling correlation with software stocks has climbed since the cryptocurrency hit a record above $126,000 in early October. But Cipolaro pointed out that its correlations with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have risen at the same time.

Liquidity Sensitive Assets

That pattern suggests the shift is not specific to software stocks — it is a wider phenomenon tied to investor appetite for risk.

Data shows that both the alpha crypto and software equities are being treated as long-duration, liquidity-sensitive assets. When macro conditions favor risk-taking, both go up. When they don’t, both get hit.

That shared sensitivity to monetary conditions is what has been driving the parallel movement, not any deeper connection between the two.

The “Bitcoin is a tech stock” narrative has circulated before. It tends to resurface during periods when correlations tick higher and the assets appear to move in lockstep. Cipolaro’s note pushes back on that framing directly.

Crypto’s Distinct Drivers Keep It In A Category Of Its Own

Despite the elevated correlations, NYDIG argues that Bitcoin has a market structure that sets it apart. Network activity, adoption trends, and policy developments all shape its price in ways that do not apply to software companies.

Those factors, Cipolaro said, support Bitcoin’s role as a portfolio diversifier even when cross-asset correlations are climbing.

One tension the note acknowledges is Bitcoin’s failure to trade like gold. It has long been called “digital gold,” but reports indicate it is not being bought as a hedge against economic instability.

Traders appear to be allocating to it along a risk curve rather than out of any distinct monetary conviction.

Correlations with equities are elevated right now. But based on NYDIG’s analysis, they are far from the full story of what moves Bitcoin’s price — and far from enough to call it a software stock.

Charles Hoskinson says Cardano’s Pentad initiative is dealing with a roughly $40 million funding gap after ADA fell from around $0.83 at the time of the original proposal to roughly $0.25. In a March 6 video update, the Cardano founder said the plan was initially working with the equivalent of about $58 million in value from 70 million ADA, but that figure has since dropped to about $18 million.

That repricing, he argued, has fundamentally changed the economics of the program. “The reality is that there’s a $40 million shortfall between when we wanted to do it and where we’re at today,” Hoskinson said. “Every single member of the Pentad has to accept that shortfall, meaning out of pocket for commitments and obligations. They have to make it up.”

Hoskinson Defends The Cardano Pentad

Pentad was designed as a coordinated effort between five core Cardano ecosystem entities to secure commercially important integrations for the network more efficiently and at scale. Hoskinson said the original logic was that Cardano and Midnight could negotiate together and get better aggregate terms, but the collapse in ADA’s dollar value means even the Cardano-side integrations now cost more than the treasury-backed funding effectively covers. Midnight, he said, is also paying for its own integrations out of pocket, with liabilities exceeding $10 million.

A central point of the update was a reimbursement dispute tied to Fireblocks. Hoskinson said one party had negotiated separately with Fireblocks outside the Pentad process, reached its own fee arrangement, and then later sought reimbursement. That, he argued, is not comparable to the more expansive and expensive integration the Midnight Foundation had been negotiating and was never part of the original governance-approved structure.

“Everyone in the Pentad is at a loss. We did not make a profit,” he said. “The vast majority of the integrations will require out-of-pocket expenses from the Cardano Foundation, the Midnight Foundation, Input Output, Emergo, and Intersect and long-term liabilities because many of these things required multi-year contracts.” By contrast, he added, external actors who were not signers to those liabilities cannot reasonably expect to be made whole simply because earlier public comments were made under different assumptions.

Hoskinson nevertheless cast Pentad V1 as an operational success. He said Cardano went from signing a deal with Circle to having USDCX live on the network in 84 days, calling it the number one stablecoin on Cardano already. He also pointed to integrations with LayerZero, Pyth, Dune Analytics and custodians, arguing the effort has moved Cardano from being “an island” to being connected to the broader crypto market.

That shift matters because, in Hoskinson’s view, Cardano’s next challenge is no longer core infrastructure. It is utility, user experience and DeFi traction. He said the ecosystem still needs strategic capital deployment to help applications survive and compete, and floated Pentad V2 as a possible treasury-backed “weighted index” of Cardano DApps and DeFi projects rather than a grant program.

“We don’t have an infrastructure problem,” he said later in the video. “We have DApps and DeFi and we have an experience problem. We were an island. We’re no longer an island. We built those bridges. That’s what you paid for with Pentad.”

The broader message was political as much as financial. Hoskinson framed the reimbursement fight as a test of whether Cardano’s on-chain governance can function under stress without collapsing into public infighting. If the ecosystem can align behind difficult capital-allocation decisions despite lower token prices, he argued, Pentad could become less a funding controversy than an early demonstration of whether Cardano’s governance model can actually execute.

At press time, ADA traded at $0.2548.

Котировки биткоина и акций технологических компаний не сближаются синхронно, а по отдельности реагируют на общие экономические условия, заявил глава аналитического отдела New York Digital Investment Group (NYDIG) Грег Чиполаро (Greg Cipolaro).

Bitcoin, being referred to as digital gold, is nothing new, as proponents have, for the longest time, expected the digital asset to replicate gold’s growth. Currently, the market cap of gold is more than 20 times that of BTC, but that has not changed the expectations that BTC will eventually be the bigger asset. This time around, it is Bitcoin proponent Samson Mow who is once again making the comparison and predicting what could happen between the two assets.

Betting On Bitcoin To Overtake Gold

In an X post, Samson Mow once again reiterated support for BTC, but this time around, the Bitcoin maximalist is pitching it against gold. According to Mow’s statements, BTC is expected to be ‘exponential gold’, a statement that speaks to how high the JAN3 CEO expects the BTC price to go.

Explaining the reason behind giving BTC this title, Mow explains that he expects that the digital asset will eventually surpass gold. As mentioned above, the gold market cap is already more than 20 times higher than the Bitcoin market cap; the cryptocurrency will have a lot of growing to do. However, Mow remains unfazed by this.

Bitcoin is exponential gold. So it will inevitably outperform gold.

— Samson Mow (@Excellion) March 8, 2026

Taking into account the current Bitcoin market cap, as well as the total supply of the digital asset, rising enough to surpass gold’s $35.5 million market cap would put the BTC price well above $1.6 million. Given that the Bitcoin price is currently trending around $67,000 at the time of this report, it would translate to a 2,500% increase to do this.

Always Bullish On BTC

Samson Mow’s advocacy for Bitcoin did not just start recently, as his company, JAN3, which was founded back in 2022, is focused on expanding access to BTC. Through his company, Mow has pushed to further BTC’s growth and adoption by making it easier for users to get into the digital asset.

Outside of adoption, the founder is also very bullish on the BTC price. Back in January 2026, Mow unveiled his BTC predictions for the year, sparking a lot of interest. As he explained, he expects the BTC price to reach as high as $1.33 million per coin.

Other predictions include at least one country finally launching Bitcoin Bonds, as well as billionaire Elon Musk making a big play for the cryptocurrency. Also, Strategy’s stock price (formerly MicroStrategy) is expected to reach $5,000, and last but not least, BTC is expected to eventually outperform metals such as gold.

The price of Bitcoin has struggled to muster a sustained upward climb over the last few weeks, with the latest one failing around the $74,000 mark in the past week. However, the premier cryptocurrency seems to have deeper problems than failed price recovery attempts. According to a crypto market expert, the Bitcoin price is at a stage reminiscent of the bearish period of 2022.

Is BTC About To Witness A Repeat Of 2022?

In a March 8 post on the X platform, Chartered Market Technician Tony Severino shared an interesting insight into the current situation of the Bitcoin market. The crypto pundit hypothesized that the world’s largest cryptocurrency might have to endure a bearish period associated with the Terra (LUNA) ecosystem crash in 2022.

The rationale behind this evaluation is the steady decline in the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator on BTC’s two-week price chart. MACD is a prominent momentum indicator used in technical analysis to identify trend direction, momentum changes, and potential entry and exit positions.

Typically, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator has two lines: the MACD line (green) and the signal line (red), and a histogram, which reflects the distance between the two aforementioned lines. The histogram, which is the primary momentum indicator, is currently signaling a strong bearish momentum.

This observation is because the histogram bars are expanding, signaling rising momentum in the current direction (which is bearish because the bars are below the neutral or zero line). According to Severino, the MACD indicator is even expanding to levels not seen since 2022, when the Terra (LUNA) ecosystem collapse sent bearish shockwaves through the entire crypto market.

It’s possible something nasty is coming

How are you managing your risk? And do you even know how? pic.twitter.com/SFzsYJxiZc

— Tony Severino, CMT (@TonySeverinoCMT) March 8, 2026

The crypto market analyst said, “it is possible that something nasty is coming,” suggesting that another crypto winter might be imminent. After Terra’s collapse in May, the premier cryptocurrency would have fallen from above $50,000 to around $30,000 — about a 40% decline — by July 2022.

However, it is important to note that the market might have already priced in what is currently being seen in the MACD indicator, which is often considered a lagging indicator. Moreover, Bitcoin has already lost nearly 30% of its value so far in 2026.

Bitcoin Price At A Glance

At the time of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $67,520, reflecting no significant movement in the past 24 hours.

A popular crypto analyst on the social media platform X has shared a buy-and-hold strategy for Bitcoin, which could potentially yield over 250% gain in the near future.

BTC Price To Bottom Out Around $49,000?

In a recent post on the X platform, market pundit Ali Martinez put forward an exciting trade plan for Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. This strategy revolves around the CVDD (Cumulative Value Days Destroyed) Channel.

CVDD is an on-chain technical indicator based on the volume of aged capital being sent into the market. This on-chain metric is typically used in highlighting zones of long-term support or resistance based on the movement of long-held coins.

The Cumulative Value Days Destroyed line, which is typically the lowest line in the channel, signals a phase of severe undervaluation. The channel extensions (the resistance bands, which are usually the targets during bull markets) are then created by applying Fibonacci multiples to the base CVDD line.

The CVDD Channel by @Alphractal lays out a simple game plan for Bitcoin $BTC:

• Buy near $49,330. • Take profits between $178,478 and $273,158. pic.twitter.com/4k9nKyli0S

— Ali Charts (@alicharts) March 7, 2026

From a historical perspective, the Bitcoin price has never dropped below the CVDD line (the base line of the channel), marking it as a relevant indicator for identifying cycle bottoms. Hence, the line is often considered a primary accumulation zone, where investors often bet on a price reversal.

As shown in the highlighted chart, this CVDD line (blue) is currently around $49,330, representing the potential Bitcoin bottom in this bearish phase. According to Martinez, this price point also represents the perfect spot to take a position in the flagship cryptocurrency.

Next, the market analyst says to take profit from this trade at the resistance levels around $178,478 or $273,158. These $178,478 and $273,158 resistance levels are the CVDD 3.618x and Alpha CVDD lines, respectively, of the channel, and they represent potential cycle tops for the Bitcoin price.

If the price of BTC indeed soars from $49,330 to at least the $178,478 top, that would represent an over 260% rally in one cycle. Meanwhile, it would take a further 53% upside movement from $178,478 toward the next resistance level.

Bitcoin Price Overview 

As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $67,350, reflecting a more than 1% decline in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency is barely up by 1% kn the weekly timeframe.
