Pakistan Eyes Crypto Mining to Transform Surplus Energy into Economic Growth

by

  • Pakistan to generate profit from electric power surpluses by implementing Bitcoin mining tariffs.
  • Pakistan’s crypto strategy seeks to balance surplus power with global mining investment.
  • Bitcoin miners in Pakistan could benefit from low-cost energy and clear regulations.

The government of Pakistan is considering using excess electricity for Bitcoin mining to turn electricity into an economic opportunity. The Ministry of Energy has reached out to relevant authorities to develop a special electricity tariff for foreign-based miners to help cut costs on wastage. This could assist in solving critical challenges that have plagued the country’s power sector without demanding the state spend a dime.

Government Pushes for Bitcoin Mining

Reports indicate that Bitcoin mining consumes a portion of revenue on electricity costs, with operators spending up to 70% of their earnings on power. Pakistan’s power sector recognizes surplus energy as a potential remedy to offset financial losses from unused electricity. Power Division representatives are creating a new tariff structure to provide crypto miners with affordable electricity rates while safeguarding governmental interests.

The government presents this initiative as an alternative solution to manage excess energy capacity that leads to accumulating financial burdens from capacity payments. Pakistan distinguishes itself from other nations who struggle to balance mining operations with national power needs Pakistan plans to provide specific and reliable energy infrastructure designed for crypto mining. This strategy if successful could make the country an attractive hub for blockchain data centers.

Discussions Between Government and Crypto Industry Leaders

The support for Bitcoin mining operations in Pakistan intensified following a meeting between Power Minister Awais Leghari and Bilal Bin Saqib who leads the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). The participants discussed methods to harness Pakistan’s energy reserves to attract international Bitcoin miner operations. Saqib brought forward energy strategies to utilize Pakistan’s natural resources by developing regulations that support local requirements.

At a subsequent meeting chaired by Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb the discussion centered on creating a comprehensive strategy for cryptocurrency mining in Pakistan. At their meeting, Top officials from the central bank and other regulatory bodies demonstrated the need to build transparent policies with sturdy infrastructure for crypto mining operations. Pakistan works to establish itself as a competitive force in the international cryptocurrency sector

Regulatory Framework for a Growing Industry

The achievement of this project depends heavily on developing well-defined regulatory systems and frameworks that deliver efficiency. Bilal Bin Saqib said that Pakistan needs specialized policies adapted to its economic context to achieve cryptocurrency mining prosperity without destabilizing the power sector. The finance minister of Pakistan described this digital mining project as introducing “a new digital chapter” for the economy.

Creating a framework for cryptocurrency mining would position Pakistan to take advantage of global trends in blockchain technology. These include licensing regimes, national blockchain policies, and pilot programs that Pakistan can adopt to encourage investment in this emerging sector while ensuring that its power resources are used efficiently.

Bitcoin ETFs Soar as Inflows Near $1B, BlackRock Leads the Surge

by

  • Investor sentiment made a strong comeback as Bitcoin ETFs recorded nearly one billion dollars in weekly inflows.
  • BlackRock’s IBIT led the market by attracting over 6,300 BTC worth more than $535 million this week.
  • Despite positive flows overall, Grayscale’s GBTC faced outflows on multiple days.

This week, investor sentiment around Bitcoin ETFs saw a sharp rebound, signaling renewed confidence in digital asset investments. Total net inflows across spot Bitcoin ETFs reached $744.3 million by Friday, with gross inflows nearing $785.6 million. The shift followed a recent phase of fund withdrawals, marking a clear turnaround in market activity.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows Rise Led by IBIT

IBIT from BlackRock led all other ETFs this week by attracting the largest inflow volume throughout the peer group. Between Monday and Friday, IBIT’s Bitcoin asset pool collected 6,342.47 BTC, which amounted to $535,582,902. On March 21, IBIT received 1,250 BTC, which amounted to $105.5 million.

During this period, IBIT demonstrated stability by acquiring new BTC, but Grayscale’s GBTC continued to lose funds at a rate of 260.15 BTC. IBIT stood out as the one ETF recording inflows, which helped raise the total flows on March 21. IBIT experienced a solid growth pattern on that day, collecting total inflows amounting to 987.12 BTC.

On March 20, BlackRock received 1,980 BTC in inflows, which topped Fidelity FBTC with 105.98 BTC and VanEck HODL with 137.08 BTC. Each day of the week saw positive ETF movements, reinforcing investor interest in Bitcoin-related products. During the period, BlackRock received the largest capital, solidifying its position as the top ETF provider in the competition.

Ethereum ETFs Struggle With Heavy Outflows

Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds experienced extended periods of investor retreat during the week, with considerable cash leaving their funds. Total flows amounted to—$102.9 million through— $389.2 million of overall withdrawal. The lack of investor support contrasted sharply with Bitcoin ETF performance.

Ethereum ETFs faced consistent losses as investors continued shifting focus to Bitcoin-based products. Market hesitation toward Ethereum has driven this trend possibly because of market unpredictability or changing investor priorities. Ethereum fund managers proved unsuccessful in their pursuit of new investment capital through this time period.

Greatly reduced support for Ethereum ETFs has resulted in less stability for short-term pricing and changing market position dynamics. Fund providers experience difficulties changing the current outflow trend because investors maintain their reserved attitude. Ethereum products have seen declining momentum and reduced institutional engagement compared to Bitcoin ETFs.

Large Bitcoin Transfer Adds to Market Speculation

Whale Alert reported a large Bitcoin transaction involving 2,999 BTC valued at $252.5 million on March 21. The cryptocurrency community started paying close attention to this Bitcoin transfer, which took place between wallets without known owners. Both the origin and endpoint of the transfer remained unknown, which triggered discussions among users.

Some market participants viewed the move as bullish, anticipating further price support for Bitcoin. However, many doubted the transaction’s motivations because they believed there was insufficient transparency. The lack of any exchange-traded fund linked to the transfer prevents analysts from determining its effects on investment movement.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) Whale Activity Soars: Can It Break $86K?

by

  • Bitcoin’s Exchange Whale Ratio has reached its highest level in a year, indicating increased whale activity.
  • Bitcoin struggles to sustain upward momentum, with resistance at $86,000 and support at $76,600.
  • A breakout above $82,000 and $86,000 resistance could push Bitcoin toward $90,000, pending strong volume.

Analytical platform CryptoQuant pointed out that there was such a significant change in the Bitcoin market because the Bitcoin Exchange Whale Ratio rose to the highest level in a year. This ratio of the top 10 inflows to the overall inflows in exchanges suggests that there is an upsurge in activity of the BTC whales. A high ratio means that these whales are likely using a big portion of their BTC deposits to invest in other assets or to shift to another exchange to sell their BTC at certain times in the market.

Key Levels for Bitcoin’s Recovery

Bitcoin has not been able to sustain the upsurge towards the north despite efforts to have a break out. This digital asset has been declining from its highest value of around $99,508 and was trading at a low of $76,600. There is an indication that BTC has begun to recover but this has been coupled with a reduced volume implying that the buyers are losing interest. 

The price range of $86,000 to $87,000 remains a key resistance area for BTC and the former support of $76,600 level. It must rise above $82,000 to maintain this sort of trend for momentum to build up for a positive market sentiment.

In the BTC price analysis, traders and analysts are keen to see whether the cryptocurrency can get out of the resistance area. In this case, if BTC remains above the $82,000 support level and finally breaks through the $86,000 resistance level with good volume, the choice would open the way to the $90,000 mark. 

The MACD, which indicates the ability to buy at the current price, enriches the potential for an upturn at this stage. This change of momentum would be profound, since it would suggest that the external environment could be moving into an up-cycle after having been under pressure for an extended period.

Whale Activity Impacts Bitcoin

However, the evidence of the influence of the market is still quite ambiguous. If BTC fails to augmented over the resistance level and cannot hold higher than $82,000, there will likely be selling pressure which may result to the lower end. The key factors that will dictate the further direction of the price movement for BTC are such indicators as whale activity, support and resistance levels, volume.

Although Bitcoin is on an upward trend again, the current activity of whales, and the conditions in the market imply that another wave of fluctuations is possible. It will be important for investor to look out for any break out above specific resistance levels since this market will continue to experience bearish run in the upcoming weeks.

Is Bitcoin Heading Toward a Bear Market or a Bullish Reversal?

by

  • Bulls have failed to push Bitcoin above key resistance levels, keeping the market range-bound.
  • After a 29% drop since January, analysts are eyeing key indicators to predict if a bear market is forming.
  • To confirm a recovery, Bitcoin must break past the $85,500–$86,000 resistance zone and reach higher levels.

Bitcoin (BTC) has remained under immense pressure below key levels as the bulls have not been able to kick-start a recovery rally. On X post on Saturday, Daan Crypto Trades predicted that Bitcoin’s price may not predictably move up or down this weekend and may range. As volatility remains relatively low and there is less news flow, prospects for violent, low – movement appear high.

Bitcoin’s Decline Since January

Currently, BTC was already in descent from the record high in January and is down now more than 29% then the subsequent peak. This situation has elicited mixed feelings with some analysts arguing that a bear market may be emerging. Currently both investors and traders are paying a lot of attention to the indicators so as to decipher whether the trend is set to reverse.

However there are some indications which points to the fact that BTC may be preparing for a change. MVRV momentum is almost overbought and is approaching a potential golden cross pattern with the 180-day SMA on the chart. In the past, this has been associated with a change in trend towards the higher levels in the BTC price index. Ali Martinez stated that this may cause a change in the market direction if it occurs.

Yet, here are some challenges that under current and future scenarious have Bitcoin: Currently, the price is kept below several key levels which are $85,500 – $86,000 – the 200 SMA and the 200 EMA. Such a scenario shows that, with Bitcoin’s bulls yet to push past these levels, failure to break the levels indicates that there is a possibility of a recovery rally towards previous higher levels.

Bulls Struggle to Break Key Barriers

Bitcoin is now at $84,467, which is still below the critical $88,000–$90,000 mark. This is a major hurdle for the bulls to overcome. These levels are crucial in the present trading because traders are looking for the break out. If it managed to overcome these hurdles, then this will be the signal that the recent decline is over and a new upward movement begins.

Currently, the attitude of investors is rather passive and waiting for positive changes. While most of the technical signs point towards a probable shift in the prevailing market trend, it is cardinal for Bitcoin to defend current price levels and break past specific barriers. The next several days will tell whether the key levels are going to provide Bitcoin with the ability to regain the upward movement or continue to be range-bound.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Show Signs of a Bullish Reversal

by

  • Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is nearing a breakout from a long-term downtrend, signaling a potential bullish shift.
  • BTC continues to hold support at $78K-$80.7K and could rally to fill the $82,245-$87,000 CME gap.
  • ETH has dropped into a historical demand zone, which previously triggered bullish reversals, with a target of $3,900.

A leading crypto commentator is of the view that Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have likely reached their local bottom and that both assets could be positioned to bounce in value at some point in time.

Rekt Capital, a social media influencer with more than 540,000 followers on platform X, posted comments to his audience indicating that he was looking to a key technical indicator: the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI, a measure of momentum that indicates if an asset is overbought or oversold, has been positive for Bitcoin. The analyst explained that Bitcoin’s RSI is poised to break through a downtrendline that began in November 2024 and could indicate a bullish reversal of the top cryptocurrency.

“Can the daily RSI break its downtrend dating to November 2024?” Rekt Capital posed, suggesting that if Bitcoin’s RSI does indeed break this trend, it could signal a significant shift in market momentum.

Bitcoin Eyes $87K as CME Gap Signals Rally

Looking at prices, Rekt Capital is of the opinion that Bitcoin may be heading for a rally that will close a CME gap. The CME gap is the gap between Bitcoin’s closing price on Friday and Monday’s opening price on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Traders tend to expect that such gaps will be closed, and Rekt Capital pointed out that Bitcoin may target the $87,000 level.

“Bitcoin continues to successfully retest CME gap as a level of support (orange box, $78,000-$80,700). More notably though is that BTC has been doing so at a higher low (black). If that continues, BTC will soon be able to close $82,245-$87,000 CME gap up top (orange circle),” Rekt Capital explained.

As of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $85,510, with a 24-hour trading volume of $76.6 billion and a market capitalization of $1.70 trillion. The asset has seen a 1.79% increase in price over the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Show Signs of a Bullish Reversal 4

Rekt Capital observed that second-largest market-capitalized cryptocurrency may be beginning a new bull cycle after dropping to a record price level of support. The level of support, seen as pale blue areas on charts, previously acted as a takeoff point to bullish upswings.

Ethereum Dips Into Support With $3,900 Target

“Ethereum has fallen into this historical demand zone (light blue). If price can create enough of a reaction here, then ETH will be able to recapture the $2,196-$3,900 macro range (black). If ETH does that prior to the March monthly close, then this entire sub-$2,200 downside would be a downside wick,” Rekt Capital explained.

With Ethereum’s price action showing signs of stabilizing near key support levels, traders and investors will be closely watching whether ETH can reclaim higher price levels and confirm the bullish outlook.

In summary, Rekt Capital research suggests Bitcoin and Ethereum have likely reached turning points in their market cycles. As both assets have bullish signals flickering on them, a likely price bounce can be spotted on the horizon for both leading cryptocurrencies with traders offered new options in upcoming weeks.

Ethereum Vs Bitcoin: Will ETH Find Reversal at Critical Support Levels?

by

  • Ethereum has reached its lowest level relative to Bitcoin since December 2020, testing key support.
  • The ETH/BTC ratio continues to decline, with the next critical support at 0.0220, signaling ongoing weakness.
  • A small bullish reversal for Ethereum could spark significant market movement, potentially benefiting altcoins.

Ethereum has declined significantly in relation to Bitcoin and is now at the lowest levels last seen in December 2020. Daan Crypto Trades also pointed out that the most important technical aspect of Ethereum is that the ETH/BTC pair is now at key support. As it goes lower, it getting closer to significant price levels that many traders are waiting to bounce back.

Key Levels for Ethereum’s Momentum

The ETH/BTC ratio has been in a continuous decline since mid 2021 as seen on the chart and the next support level is expected to be at BTC 0.0220. This decrease clearly indicates that ETH has been following a worse trajectory than Bitcoin which might again be true if the support level crumbles. The Ether to Bitcoin ratio is faint at the moment and traders are currently observing the so-called support level.

Despite the recent performance of ETH, experts believe even a slight bullish turn could trigger quite a stir in the market. Based on the findings of the analysis, specific short-term goals such as the ones present at BTC 0.0270 have been identified in the event ETH fails to hold the support level. This bounce might also be good for altcoins ; they tend to track movements of ETH closely. Such pattern will now call for a bounce off the current levels towards 0.0270 if ETH manages to hold the levels.

Nonetheless, Ethereum has a significant barrier to cross when it comes to resistance level. The BTC 0.0270 level has focused an area of resistance and will most certainly need heaviness from the bulls to breach it. Thus, in the absence of such momentum, Ethereum will continue to struggle on the downside. Local support levels to indicate that the sell-off may be running out of steam will include a solid close above this level at BTC 0.0220.

Short-Term Recovery Potential

While Ether has lagged behind the performance of Bitcoin during the bull run, it means that Ether’s price can be considered to be more reliant on the movements of Bitcoin going forward. Ethereum can therefore continue to lag behind in this declining pattern as long as Bitcoin is strong. On the other hand, if Ethereum pulls back at the current price levels and emerges above the mentioned resistance levels, it will trigger altcoins’ uptrend. As of press time, ETH is trading at $1,990, showing a 1.58% decline over the past day.

The outlook for Ethereum’s performance against Bitcoin continues to be bearish. However, it remains to be seen whether Ethereum can recover soon but the possibility of a short-term rally remains very real if ETH stays above critical support. The price needs to be watched for reversal signals since the next prominent level is a resistance level of BTC 0.0270.

BlackRock Highlights Bitcoin as “Emerging Global Monetary Alternative” Amid Major Investment

by

  • BlackRock says Bitcoin is becoming a major new player in global finance.
  • Long-term investors add 167,000 Bitcoin, worth $14 billion showing confidence in its future.
  • Bitcoin ETF inflows jump as major players keep buying, even with all the price swings.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with $11.5 trillion in assets, has been advancing its position in the cryptocurrency market. The company underscored Bitcoin as an emerging global monetary alternative. BlackRock released “BlackRock Insights: Understanding Digital Assets,” which describes Bitcoin as a decentralized, limited-supply asset with increasing institutional adoption. Traditional financial institutions display evolving perspectives about digital assets positioning Bitcoin beyond mere speculative investment space.

Additionally, BlackRock has also shown that it is bullish on Bitcoin by procuring $218 million in BTC, which sets a record for its largest buy-in over a month. This comes after other buys made, which totaled $42.3 million and $45 million, reflecting a broader institutional trend toward embracing Bitcoin as a long-term investment.  These actions signal an increasing confidence in digital assets, particularly while facing market volatility and global economic uncertainty.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows Reflect Institutional Confidence

BlackRock recently launched BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) to attract institutional investors. IBIT received $218.1 million on March 18, 2025, the largest capital inflow recorded over six weeks. Nonetheless, major fluctuations in the price might be witnessed, while a major boost in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) proves the institutional demand for the asset. Moreover, key financial giants like Barclays, JPMorgan and Avenir Group have invested in Bitcoin through BlackRock’s offerings.

Bitcoin has recently been volatile, with large institutions continuing to accumulate the asset despite the market downturn. The outflows from Bitcoin ETFs that were noticed earlier in the year were driven by hedge funds; however, long-term holders did not sell their coins. BlackRock is extending its exposure to the Bitcoin market as more professional investors use the current price fluctuations to accumulate Bitcoin.

Recession Could Drive Future Bitcoin Adoption

BlackRock’s Robbie Mitchnick, Global Head of Digital Assets, recently shared insights on the future of Bitcoin in a potential recession. According to Mitchnick, the scarcity and decentralized nature make it ideal for hedging volatile economic risks. Although it has not followed the gold upward during the recent stock market volatilities, Mitchnick expects it to appreciate as its long-term fundamentals will drive its value upward, especially amid emerging global developments.

The U.S. government’s establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve shows that Bitcoin is a crucial part of the financial system and that institutions still have confidence amidst volatility. Meanwhile, long-term Bitcoin holders have accumulated an additional 167,000 BTC with an estimated worth of $14 billion over the last month, according to Glassnode.

Robbie Mitchnick of BlackRock stated that the ETF outflows are due to hedge funds closing arbitrage positions rather than from long-only investors. The support provided by institutions, along with continuous accumulation by some long-term investors, signifies a positive outlook for Bitcoin, which can take its price to $90k or beyond.

Wells Fargo Predicts Bitcoin Could Soar with Dollar’s Ongoing Slide

by

  • According to Wells Fargo’s analysis, Bitcoin could rally soon as the U.S. dollar weakens.
  • Bitcoin’s 10-week lagging correlation with DXY points to a potential bullish reversal.
  • Wells Fargo links Bitcoin’s slump to dollar strength, forecasting a price recovery.

Wells Fargo anticipates improved performance for Bitcoin to move toward positive trends following its difficult start in 2025. The bank’s research examines Bitcoin’s relationship to the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY), which shows an inverse correlation. The relationship between Bitcoin value and a weakening dollar shows promise as a catalyst that can drive Bitcoin price growth.

The Impact of Dollar Strength on Bitcoin

In the latest report, Matt Sigel, the Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, quoted Wells Fargo, according to which BTC’s 23% pullback from its highs in early 2025 might be attributable to the surge in the value of the US dollar in late 2024. From Q4 2024, to January 2025 the DXY increased again by nearly 10% reaching a high of 110.176. However since that high the DXY has declined by more than 6% reaching 103.197.

AD 4nXdXepjA5BHkE IvsipYT1MFJsUIgp wy4aZQoM7o49ujxKDH80YiBMHjS9ec5yWYqDxnEEpM3WWnLV91Pp AtsDAAOGsxdn2JqeDvK8z1sBytM7Z1ZOUuffij sx6IVkE
Source: X

Bitcoin has shown an anti-correlation with the DXY in the past, which means when the dollar is gaining strength, Bitcoin is likely to decline as investors switch to the dollar and other safe-haven assets. In times of economic uncertainty, when the dollar rises, the value of Bitcoin decreases. On the other hand, when the dollar weakens, Bitcoin recovers as it is considered a higher risk and a higher reward.

With the recent drop in the DXY, Wells Fargo believes Bitcoin may be on the verge of a price rally. Bitcoin could experience upward momentum as the dollar weakens, reversing the current downtrend.

Bitcoin Price Action: Consolidation and Key Levels

The analysis of Bitcoin’s price in March 2025 indicates that the price movement was very volatile. It briefly rose above $85k to reach $85,800, but being in a consolidation phase, it stabilized shortly after. The current Bitcoin price has found support around the $82,500 level, offering some resistance against the current decline in prices. The price then started to rise which indicated a potential for a bullish trend.

AD 4nXfuoXK3YxX9 S77yLZ22rVdld 6VRVXePzq2sT8 zybuBrI0qOkW7poiBpqgPg2q6CWJARDoAGT6m8AKXpYp t6Wc6w NqD4 8op 9jzPKRXXH4mGjYXnmMWS0S9zcl1fajZTtlg?key=MYq3n9gnI5tdIbla4lL6e1kL
Source; TRADINGVIEW

Bitcoin’s resistance remains firmly at the $85,000 level, where it encountered several failed attempts to break above. If Bitcoin can break through this level it could trigger a move toward the next resistance zones at $90,000 and beyond. 

The market’s response to Bitcoin’s consolidation around this price range will be critical. A breakout above $86,000 could continue the upward trend while failing to break that level may see Bitcoin retest the $80,000 support range.

10-Week Lagging Correlation and Global Economic Uncertainty

Furthermore, Wells Fargo highlights that Bitcoin usually correlates with the DXY index with a 10-week lag. While the DXY index rises, it was found that the value of Bitcoin declines and when the DXY index declines, Bitcoin gains value. This pattern indicates that the drop in the DXY since January could indicate the potential rise in the price of Bitcoin. Such buffering has happened in the past, signaling that the existing circumstances might favor Bitcoin’s price rebound.

However, there is still much to contend with when predicting Bitcoin’s future. Volatility may arise from global and regional issues such as political uncertainties caused by President Donald Trump’s administration. Furthermore, decisions regarding interest rates and inflation by the Federal Reserve will continue to dictate the valuation of the US dollar and hence Bitcoins.

Wells Fargo’s analysis complements other market commentators who have noted that dips in the DXY have previously indicated bullish Bitcoin price action. However, due to the current state of the global markets, investors should be careful since economic fluctuations may reverse BTC’s positive development in the short term.

Bitcoin’s New Whales Accumulate 1M BTC: Bullish Surge Incoming?

by

Key Takeaways

  • A surge in Bitcoin whale accumulation indicates strong market confidence.
  • Recent deleveraging signals a potential market reset for sustained growth.
  • Bitcoin’s price could see a significant upward move in the coming months.

A particular class of high-net-worth investors is powering the accumulation trend in Bitcoin. These “new whales,” with a minimum holding of 1,000 BTC per individual, entered the market in force, with their holdings rising sharply since November 2024.

These addresses, as per on-chain data released by CryptoQuant, bought over 1 million BTC in a few months, with a further 200,000 BTC added in the last month alone.

This reflects strong belief in the long-term future for BTC and suggests that institutions or high-net-worth investors are making significant investments.

These new whales’ holding accumulation patterns are special in that the average holding time for their BTC is less than six months. This type of short-term holding indicates that new investors are bullish on the price of Bitcoin at current prices and expect a potential rally.

image 145

As this accumulation trend continues, it could be a significant supporting factor, keeping the price of Bitcoin stable and positioning it for new highs.

The huge volume of BTC that these whales are accumulating is altering supply and demand dynamics, confirming the potential for price rises.

Market Deleveraging Resets Conditions for a Bullish Move

While accumulation has been the dominant theme, the BTC market has also seen a period of significant deleveraging. CryptoQuant has reported that the BTC open interest hit over $33 billion on January 17, an all-time high in leveraged positions.

But the market went through a steep liquidation phase due to the political instability surrounding the policies of Trump, which created a sudden drop in more than $10 billion in open interest within two months, with a significant $10 billion erased during the period between February 20 and March 4 alone.

image 145 1

These periods of deleveraging are necessary for a healthy market cycle. Leverage has a tendency to cause excessive volatility, and when the over-positions are liquidated, it allows for a more stable price trend.

Historical precedent indicates that past deleveraging cycles have preceded BTC price rallies. At the current point, the 90-day change in Bitcoin futures open interest has declined sharply to -14%, which marks a turning point for the market reset.

This suggests that BTC could be positioned for another significant upleg as leveraged positions are washed out and new capital returns to the market.

Bitcoin’s Path to New Highs

Whale accumulation has never been higher, and leverage has been steadily trimmed, so the price action on Bitcoin could be incredibly bullish in the months ahead. Market participants are already questioning whether Bitcoin will pierce its all-time high and head towards $150,000, even $160,000.
