Bitcoin Whale Places Record-Breaking $515M Short
CryptoQuant CEO Warns Bitcoin Bull Cycle Is Over

$BTC weekly
gotta respect the dip potential into FOMC as bulls have been unable to flip March green (yet)
base case 78-80 and higher low, worst case 71.3-73.8 at a confluence of potential support on every timeframe from daily to quarterly

#Bitcoin
Still at resistance and buyers not showing interest
Thinking one of the squiggles is in play. We still need to reclaim $86,250 to switch to local bullish bias so for now both my primary scenarios are locally bearish
Blue seems more likely to me but FOMC is a wildcard

Main Points:
BTC faces strong resistance at $85K, failing multiple breakout attempts.
FOMC meeting on March 18-19 could trigger major price swings.
Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged at 4.25%-4.50%.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $274M in inflows, the largest since February.
A break above $85K could push BTC toward $90K, while failure may lead to $74K support.

Powell’s speech is key; a hawkish stance could pressure markets.
CPI remains above the Fed’s 2% target, reducing chances of immediate cuts.
Bitcoin ETFs’ inflows signal renewed institutional demand.
BTC must reclaim $86.25K for a confirmed bullish breakout.
Key downside levels include $74K, $71.3K, and $69K if selling pressure increases.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $274 million as of yesterday, marking the largest inflow since February 4.

Nasdaq's green close hints at broader market optimism, but crypto's low volume is flashing caution. Without strong momentum, we could see increased volatility and a further decline in $BTC. Watching patiently for shifts in market sentiment.

📊🤔 #BTC's growth trajectory for this 4th halving cycle is now much below the historical range set by previous halving cycles.
At this stage of the cycle, the lower bound of the historical range should be around $250,000.
