ChainCatcher news, according to Bitcoin.com, Bitcoin is currently consolidating around $84,160, with prices hovering between $83,238 and $84,492. However, market trading volume is low, and traders are focused on a breakout in this price range. The mixed signals from oscillators and moving averages indicate indecision.The market is watching for confirmation of bullishness above $85,000, while a drop to $83,000 could lead to further pullbacks. Despite a recent rebound, long-term indicators still lean towards bearish.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency market experienced a brief euphoria following the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting, only to fall back into profit-taking. Bitcoin retreated from a high of $86,000 to below $84,000, with a 24-hour decline of over 3%, while Ethereum fell below the psychological level of $2,000. Despite the overall pressure on the market, options traders remain optimistic about the mid-term outlook, with the probability of Bitcoin breaking $100,000 by the end of June rising from 20% to nearly 30% within 24 hours.The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates and announced a reduction in quantitative tightening (QT) in April, interpreted as a signal of de facto easing, which pushed Bitcoin to briefly surpass $85,000. BNB rose 8% during the week, showing strength against the trend, while XRP's weekly increase narrowed to 4.8%. The options market showed divergence, with Ethereum call options accounting for 60%, indicating a rise in bottom-fishing sentiment; 34% of Bitcoin options volume was used for downside protection, intensifying the long-short battle. After a brief euphoria, the market returned to rationality, with $80,000 becoming a key short-term support level for Bitcoin, focusing the new round of long-short contention. The optimistic expectations in the options market and the cautious sentiment in the spot market create a delicate balance, with a breakout from the moving average pressure potentially becoming the key to a trend reversal.

ChainCatcher news, 10x Research published that despite the Federal Reserve's dovish stance, the Bitcoin market may still face upward resistance in the short term. The research institution pointed out that as long as the Bitcoin price remains below the resistance range of $90,000-$92,000, the overall market may continue to be in a consolidation phase.The Federal Reserve has lowered its growth expectations and slightly slowed the pace of balance sheet reduction (QT). Fed Chairman Powell emphasized that the recent rise in inflation may be temporary. Although this provides short-term support for risk assets, 10x Research believes that investors may remain cautious ahead of the Trump tariff announcement on April 2 and the start of the U.S. corporate earnings season on April 11. The report also noted that weakened consumer confidence and a deteriorating real estate market could lead to poor performance during the earnings season, and market structure indicators remain sluggish, suggesting that this rebound may struggle to gain significant momentum or push Bitcoin back into a broader bullish sentiment.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the Federal Reserve FOMC meeting will be held from March 18 to 19, and the market may experience price fluctuations in the coming days. An important announcement regarding interest rates will be released at 2 PM Eastern Time on March 19. Bitcoin must turn the resistance level of $85,000 into support to aim for a higher high of $90,000.Analyst SuperBitcoinBro pointed out that Bitcoin's "worst-case scenario" could be between $71,300 and $73,800, while another analyst, Nebraskangooner, stated that the FOMC is an unknown factor, and BTC must reclaim $86,250 to confirm a bullish scenario in the lower time frame.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, Coinbase Institutional's research director David Duong stated that the market almost universally expects the Federal Reserve to maintain interest rates at its Federal Open Market Committee meeting this week, but investors should pay attention to any potential changes in the Fed's balance sheet reduction (i.e., quantitative tightening, QT) plan. He wrote in a report on Monday: "We believe the Fed may pause or end its quantitative tightening plan as bank reserve levels are nearing 10-11% of U.S. GDP, a level that is generally considered sufficient to maintain financial stability."He noted that the recent cryptocurrency sell-off was primarily due to macroeconomic concerns and deteriorating liquidity conditions, but these factors may improve in the next quarter, providing support for asset prices. "Cryptocurrency prices may bottom out in the coming weeks and then rebound to new highs later this year."

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the chief researcher of the cryptocurrency research institution 10x Research, Markus Thielen, stated that Bitcoin may repeat its price trend in 2024, entering a long-term consolidation phase after reaching an all-time high at the beginning of the year.Thielen pointed out that the current Bitcoin chart is forming a "high-level tightening flag," which, although typically a bullish continuation pattern, currently shows signs of weakness, indicating "market indecision" rather than a clear bullish consolidation. Meanwhile, the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market has not shown a "buying the dip" mentality.Thielen believes there is a lack of evidence to support a strong price recovery for Bitcoin in the short term.

ChainCatcher news, CoinDesk analyst Omkar Godbole stated that Bitcoin fell below $80,000 this Tuesday, marking a several-month low, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) — a widely used momentum oscillator — indicates a potential bullish rebound. This indicator has produced a higher low, contradicting the lower lows on the Bitcoin price chart, resulting in what is known as a bullish RSI divergence. This suggests that while prices are declining, the momentum behind the sell-off is weakening, potentially signaling an upcoming reversal to a bullish trend.The analyst added, "The timing of this pattern today couldn't be more interesting, as the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February will be released at 8:30 PM Beijing time, and is expected to show progress. The bullish divergence in BTC's RSI indicates that a phase ready to react positively to potential weak readings is in place."According to CNBC, the expected data shows that the overall CPI for February and the core CPI, excluding food and energy, are projected to rise by 0.3% month-over-month. This implies an annualized increase of 2.9% for the overall CPI and 3.2% for the core CPI, both 0.1 percentage points lower than in January.

When BTC fell to $77,000, the transfers from miners to exchanges surged.Forced sales by miners may affect market liquidity and indicate that they are facing financial pressure due to rising costs. Historically, miners have often sold more Bitcoin when prices decline to cover operational costs.

ChainCatcher news, a certain crypto KOL analyzed: "The price trend of Bitcoin is closely related to economic indicators. If a recession occurs, Bitcoin may drop to around $50,000; if there is no recession, the expected bottom price range is between $70,000 and $75,000."In response, Binance co-founder Zhao Changpeng stated on platform X: "I believe this analysis only applies to the short term."

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, although the cryptocurrency fear and greed index on March 10 continues to show "extreme fear," a Bitcoin market simulation still predicts a bullish trend in the second half of 2025.Cryptocurrency researcher Mark Quant analyzed Bitcoin prices using Monte Carlo simulations and provided a six-month forecast for the crypto asset. The Monte Carlo model is a computational method that simulates price predictions and assesses risk through random sampling. It can generate various possible scenarios based on variable factors such as volatility and market trends. Based on an initial price of $82,655, the study estimates the average final price of Bitcoin to be $258,445 by the end of September 2025. However, from a broader perspective, Bitcoin prices are expected to fluctuate between $51,430 (the 5th percentile return) and $713,000 (the 95th percentile return).However, it is important to note that the Monte Carlo model largely relies on the Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) model, which assumes that asset values follow a random path with a constant drift parameter. In this analysis, Bitcoin's inherent volatility is incorporated into the model, capturing long-term historical performance and patterns while adapting to future changes. Essentially, Monte Carlo analysis carries uncertainty akin to "rolling dice." Last week, Quant also emphasized the correlation between the total cryptocurrency market cap and the global liquidity index, suggesting that the total market cap could reach a new high of over $4 trillion in the second quarter of 2025.
