PlanB flags possible Bitcoin dip under $54,000 as Q2 sell-off fears linger

Bitcoin rose 2% in March 2026, snapping a five-month run of monthly losses even as some traders remain wary of a deeper second-quarter pullback. As of April 1, BTC was up nearly 3% over 24 hours to about $68,702, with a market cap near $1.36 trillion and 24-hour volume around $43.45 billion. PlanB warned BTC could slip below the 200-week moving average near $59,000 and revisit a realized price level of $54,000.
