On March 18, Bitwise research head André Dragosch said institutions accumulated over 81,200 BTC over the past month, versus just over 13,300 BTC of newly issued supply. The total included more than 34,400 BTC via Bitcoin ETPs and over 46,800 BTC by treasury companies, with Strategy accounting for 46,400+ BTC. Bitcoin last traded at $69,216.06, down 3.1% on the day and 1% on the week, while up 3.5% over the past month.

Two long-term Bitcoin holders sold more than 1,650 BTC valued at over $117.87 million on Thursday, including 650 BTC sent to Kraken and another 1,000 BTC sold by an investor from 13 years ago. The selling followed a hawkish Federal Reserve stance and coincided with BTC dropping under $70,000 and broader crypto liquidations totaling over $513 million in 24 hours.

Bitcoin remains below $70,000 after prolonged selling from the October 2025 peak above $125K, with price still trading under the 100-day (~$80K) and 200-day (~$92K) moving averages. The daily chart highlights $58K–$62K as a key support zone, while the 4-hour structure shows risk toward ~$60K if the rising trendline near ~$66K fails, and upside potential toward $80K if $75K is reclaimed.

Bitcoin (BTC) bounced from an intraday low near $69,500 and reclaimed $70,000, revisiting its 2021 peak area while maintaining a higher local trading range. A hawkish Federal Reserve message kept pressure on risk assets, and gold slid 2.3% to under $4,700 per ounce for the first time since Feb. 6. Traders said BTC may need a weekly close near $75,000, while one analyst flagged the low $60,000 zone as a potential buy area if revisited.

Bitcoin retreated after a multi-day climb, slipping under $70,000 after briefly tagging $76,000 earlier this week. Some analysts argue the broader structure still looks bearish and see potential downside targets under $50K, including $46,760 and roughly $53,000. Others point to whale accumulation, spot Bitcoin ETF inflows, and exchange balances hitting about 2.723 million on March 19 as signs conditions could support a rebound.

Bitcoin has moved back above $75,000 after weeks below that level, placing price action in a closely watched decision area. A technical roadmap highlights a $74,567–$79,289 band that could either extend the rebound toward $86,000–$90,600 or trigger another push lower if rejected. The chart context also notes BTC closes near $73,926 on March 17 and $71,256 on March 18, keeping price near the identified zone.

Bitcoin retreated 7% after approaching the $76,000 level, as risk assets repriced following a hawkish Fed hold and renewed inflation concerns. With oil back above $97 a barrel and macro data staying firm, analysts argue the move looks more like a structural pullback than a leverage-driven unwind. Bitcoin was hovering near $71,000, while CoinGlass data flagged potential $450 million in long-liquidation pressure around $68,000.

Bitcoin (BTC) showed a fresh sell signal on March 19 after drifting lower for three days and trading around $70,134 at press time. Technical analysis points to a bearish rising-wedge setup that could open the door to a drop toward $52,500 even as institutional demand remains elevated. Derivatives metrics also show open interest near $108.4 billion after rising more than $12.9 billion in four weeks, while funding turned negative.
