ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, based on a research report from the decentralized crypto options platform Derive, the calm in the Bitcoin market may be short-lived and could lay the groundwork for a storm that triggers significant price fluctuations.Since March 12, BTC has stabilized in the range of $80,000 to $85,000, a consolidation that typically occurs after significant directional movements. Due to various factors, including President Donald Trump's tariffs and disappointment over the lack of new purchases for the U.S. strategic BTC reserves, the price plummeted from $100,000 to below $80,000 in recent weeks.With the recent consolidation, key volatility indicators have decreased, approaching monthly lows. However, volatility tends to revert to the mean, which means that low volatility conditions may soon pave the way for price turbulence.Derive states that several factors could trigger volatility, including "a ceasefire (or lack thereof) in Ukraine, or a significant shift in the Trump administration's crypto regulatory policies," among others.

ChainCatcher message, the rapid rise in Bitcoin prices last November created a supply gap in the range of $70,000 to $80,000. According to Glassnode data, currently about 20% of the Bitcoin supply is in a state of loss.If Bitcoin currently retraces and falls below $80,000, it may accelerate the decline. Glassnode's UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) chart shows the so-called "supply gap." This indicator tracks the price point at which existing Bitcoin UTXOs last moved. Each bar represents the amount of Bitcoin that was last traded within a specific price range. The data is entity-adjusted, meaning an average purchase price is assigned to each entity, and their entire balance is categorized accordingly.In simple terms, the number of traders who bought Bitcoin in the $70,000 to $80,000 range may be far lower than in other price ranges. Therefore, if the price falls below $80,000, there may be few holders willing to buy the dip at their purchase cost, resulting in almost no support above the historical high of $73,000 set in March 2024.

ChainCatcher news, according to an analysis by SignalPlus head Augustine Fan, the recent sell-off of Bitcoin has been primarily triggered by multi-strategy hedge fund trading that dominates the macro market. These multi-strategy trades include arbitrage, long-short positions, and leveraged operations, aiming to maximize returns across asset classes.In the Bitcoin market, a common multi-strategy trading method is basis trading, which involves buying spot Bitcoin (usually through ETFs) and shorting Bitcoin futures to profit from the price difference. However, when the price difference narrows or the market changes, the profits from basis trading decline, leading to capital exiting positions and concentrated sell-offs of Bitcoin and ETF shares. Fan pointed out that this liquidation pressure has amplified the sell-off over the past week, especially against the backdrop of increased volatility related to tariffs.Nevertheless, the "buying the dip" sentiment still exists in the market. Fan stated that the valuations of stocks outside the major indices remain relatively stable compared to historical averages, and hard economic data may outperform the rapid deterioration of soft data. Therefore, the market generally believes that it is still a "buying the dip" market, expecting to gradually digest the impacts of tariff volatility.

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, according to Cointelegraph, the ETH/BTC ratio has dropped to its lowest level since mid-2020. Economist and cryptocurrency trader Alex Kruger stated, "If you still hold ETH, now might be a good time to switch to high beta altcoins. If the market goes down, the losses in both cases could be similar, but if the market goes up, you could see significant outperformance, and then you can switch back to BTC."Many in the crypto industry view the "bottoming" of the ETH/BTC ratio as a signal that altcoin season may be starting. Benjamin Cowen, founder of Into The Cryptoverse, stated that for altcoin season to arrive, "ETH/BTC needs to bottom and start an upward trend."However, other indicators suggest that altcoin season may not arrive soon, and Bitcoin may continue to maintain its market share in the short term. CoinMarketCap's altcoin season index shows a score of 13/100, leaning more towards Bitcoin season. Crypto trader Hansolar mentioned that this year will be "an all-year Bitcoin season." According to TradingView data, Bitcoin's market dominance currently stands at 62.15%, while when Ethereum reached its all-time high of $4,800 in November 2021, Bitcoin's market dominance was around 42%.

ChainCatcher news, according to Santiment analysis, since peaking on February 27, the trading volume across the cryptocurrency market has been steadily declining. After further declines in market capitalization over the past two weeks, trader behavior shows a mix of fatigue, despair, and capitulation.The report analyzes that when the trading volume of major cryptocurrencies continues to decline, even during slight price recoveries (as seen on Wednesday), it usually indicates that trader enthusiasm is waning. In this scenario, traders become cautious, suggesting they may not believe the current price increase will be sustained. Essentially, the decrease in trading activity reflects uncertainty, as fewer traders are confident that buying at current price levels will yield profits.The weakening trading volume during a mild price rebound could be an early warning sign of diminishing market momentum. Without strong buying participation, price gains may quickly lose momentum due to a lack of sufficient support to maintain an upward trend, which could lead to any rebound being temporary, with prices susceptible to decline again.To show a healthier and more sustainable recovery, bulls typically hope to see both price increases and trading volume rising simultaneously. Cautious market sentiment may continue to dominate until there is a significant increase in trading activity.
