Report: Bitcoin Institutional Buyers Yet to Stage Comeback, Market Still in Consolidation Phase

13 hours ago

On March 17th, Bitfinex put forth a new report indicating that Bitcoin has been in a continuous decline ever since reaching a historical high of $109,590 on January 20th. The lowest point last week was $77,041, representing a 29.7% pullback, which marks the second deepest correction within this bull market cycle. While in history, bull markets usually witness a 30% retracement before resuming the upward trend, in this cycle, there had been shallower declines previously due to institutional adoption and ETF-driven demand. Short-term holders continue to endure unrealized losses, which intensifies the selling pressure. These investors, especially those who purchased in the past 7 to 30 days, are typically the most prone to giving up. Historically, when fresh capital inflows slow down and the cost basis trend changes, it suggests a weakening demand environment. With Bitcoin struggling to maintain key levels, this trend is becoming more evident. In the absence of new buyers entering the market, Bitcoin may experience a prolonged consolidation period or even further declines as weak hands continue to exit. A crucial factor to keep an eye on is whether long-term holders or institutional demand will reemerge at these lower levels. If deep-pocketed investors begin to absorb the supply, it could signify a shift towards an accumulation phase, stabilizing price movements and reversing market sentiment.

Analyst: Bitcoin Price Likely to Bottom Out in a Few Weeks, Rebound to New High Later This Year

On March 18th, David Duong, the Director of Institutional Research at Coinbase, stated that the market generally anticipates that the Federal Reserve will maintain the interest rate unchanged at this week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting. However, investors should pay attention to any potential changes to the Fed's balance sheet reduction (that is, quantitative tightening, QT) plan. In his report on Monday, he wrote, "We think that the Fed may pause or end its quantitative tightening plan because the reserve levels at banks have reached nearly 10-11% of the US GDP, a level generally regarded as sufficient to maintain financial stability." He pointed out that the recent selloff of cryptocurrencies was mainly due to macroeconomic concerns and the deterioration of liquidity conditions. But these factors may improve in the next quarter, providing support for asset prices. "Cryptocurrency prices may reach a bottom in the coming weeks and then rebound to new highs later this year,"

On March 18th, the final voting result regarding "Crypto.com to Reissue 70 Billion Burned CRO Tokens" was as follows: 61.18% in favor, 17.61% against, 20.11% abstained, and 0.11% vetoed. The participation rate of the vote ultimately reached 70.18%. After the vote was passed, the Cronos blockchain will undergo an upgrade tomorrow.

These upcoming tokens will be gradually unlocked over a period of five years for various purposes, including providing funding for a potential CRO ETF. However, this is not the only action by the Crypto.com team. Just one day after the end of the vote, the team proposed another action to burn 50 million CRO, following the previous three rounds of token burns of the same amount. The vote for this new proposal will take place over the next two weeks. (unchained)
