Tuesday, March 18 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $199.4 million on Tuesday, extending their streak of positive net inflows to seven straight trading days—marking the longest such streak since October 2025. BlackRock’s IBIT led the charge with $169 million in inflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC recorded $24.4 million.

On March 18, on-chain data analyst Axel released a new research report noting that Bitcoin’s market overheating has been fully eliminated, but selling pressure has not eased and no clear reversal signal has emerged. The report shows Bitcoin’s MVRV Z-Score — a metric measuring valuation overheating — has plummeted 74% from its cycle high of 2.603 in October 2025 to 0.674, far below its historical mean (1.72) and first standard deviation band (3.55). This confirms the valuation bubble has been fully cleared. The current 0.5-1.0 range signals a neutral cycle phase, where market cap only moderately exceeds realized cap.

Since last crossing above 1.0 on January 21, 2026, the indicator has failed to return to the profit-selling range. Axel emphasized that 1.0 is the cr

On March 18, Morgan Stanley’s Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Michael Wilson released a report taking a contrarian stance on the current market panic. He argued the recent sharp correction has matured in both timing and magnitude, signaling the market is near a bottom rather than the start of a new downturn. Data shows 50% of Russell 3000 stocks have fallen more than 20% from their 52-week highs, while a similar share in the S&P 500 has dropped over 40%. This means half of these stocks are already in bear market territory, underscoring the underappreciated breadth of internal damage. Wilson frames the sell-off as a “pullback within a bull market” that began with liquidity tightening last fall—well before the recent geopolitical tension escalation. He notes “surrender-type selling” often marks an end, not a start, of market downturns. Unlike past recessions (accompanied by deteriorating earnings), S&P 500 earnings are growing at 13% and accelerating. Wilson’s outlook hinges on two
