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

19 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.

Viewpoint: Bitcoin's current stability is temporary, preparing for a significant price fluctuation

On March 18th, according to a research report from Derive, a decentralized on-chain options platform, the tranquility in the Bitcoin market recovery might be only temporary and could set the stage for a storm that leads to significant price volatility. Since March 12th, BTC has been maintaining stability within the range of $80,000 to $85,000. This consolidation phase usually occurs after a substantial directional movement. Due to various factors such as President Donald Trump's tariffs and the disappointment over the absence of new purchases for the U.S. strategic BTC reserve, the price has plummeted from above $100,000 to below $80,000 in the past few weeks. With the recent consolidation, key volatility indicators have decreased and approached monthly lows. However, volatility shows mean-reverting behavior, indicating that the low volatility regime may soon make way for price turbulence. (CoinDesk)
