Analyst: This Round of Bitcoin Rally Driven by Position Reset and Reduced Supply Elasticity

2 hours ago

On March 4, Decrypt reported that Bitcoin’s ongoing rally pushed it above $71,000 for the first time in three weeks. Still, its upward momentum hinges on the broader liquidity environment and geopolitical risks. Altura co-founder and CEO Ranveer Arora noted: “ETF inflows keep providing structural buying support, but more direct drivers appear to be position adjustments, reduced post-halving supply elasticity, and improved liquidity expectations. In crypto, once selling pressure eases and positions rotate, leverage and derivative flows often speed up price discovery.” Arora added Bitcoin’s trend remains tightly linked to global liquidity—calling it a “high-beta proxy for global liquidity, not a traditional defensive asset.” LetsExchange Chief Product Officer Alex J. said Bitcoin’s climb to $71,000 was “largely fueled by rising geopolitical tensions and growing uncertainty.” When asked if the rebound will last, Alex J. replied: “Unlikely—but we don’t expect a sharp drop either.” He explained that when global financial markets face severe turbulence and disrupt cross-asset liquidity flows, Bitcoin can’t compete with safe-havens like gold.

Fed Governor Milan: A One Percent Rate Cut This Year Is Appropriate

March 4 — Federal Reserve Governor Milan says a 1 percentage point rate cut this year is appropriate. (Xinhua News Agency) ### Notes on American English adaptation: 1. **Date format**: Uses "March 4" (common in U.S. news for numeric dates without trailing "th" in casual/concise contexts, though "March 4th" is also acceptable; the em dash after the date aligns with U.S. news style for attribution). 2. **Abbreviations**: "Fed" is the standard shorthand for "Federal Reserve" in U.S. financial news, but kept "Federal Reserve Governor" for clarity (if brevity is priority, could use "Fed Governor Milan" instead). 3. **Tone**: Uses the simple present "says" (common in U.S. news for breaking statements) instead of more formal verbs like "stated". 4. **Conciseness**: Shortened "interest rate cut" to "rate cut" (standard in U.S. financial discourse). 5. **Source attribution**: Kept "(Xinhua News Agency)" as is (U.S. news retains full agency names for non-domestic sources).

「Mini Non-Farm Payrolls Report」 came in slightly above expectations, and the market continues to expect the Fed to stay put in March.

March 4th – The ADP National Employment Report released Wednesday showed U.S. private-sector job gains beat expectations in February, though January’s data was sharply downwardly revised. Private payrolls rose by 63,000 last month, while January’s figure was cut from a previously reported 22,000 increase to 11,000. The data suggests the labor market has stabilized despite uncertainty tied to last year’s import tariffs. Labor market stability and persistent high inflation are seen as factors pushing the Federal Reserve to hold interest rates steady this month. Additionally, the U.S.-Iran aerial clash and Tehran’s retaliatory measures have driven up oil and gas prices, prompting traders to downgrade their expectations for rate cuts this year amid concerns the conflict could stoke inflation. The probability of a June rate cut has fallen sharply. The Fed held its benchmark overnight rate in the 3.50%-3.75% range in January. (FXStreet)
