The counterfeit index hit a new low since September last year, repeating the BTC bloodsucking trend, and the trading volume of the cryptocurrency market has dropped nearly three times from its peak
March 14th, 2025

Macro interpretation: Today, I saw Goldman Sachs analyze that the US stock market may continue to underperform overseas markets in the near future. This macro level anxiety is like the sword of Damocles, hanging over the entire risk asset market. It is interesting that while traditional markets are wavering on the seesaw of concerns about economic growth and inflation, cryptocurrency funds are staging a major battle, with Bitcoin's market value proportion increasing. Let's talk about it later in conjunction with the knockoff index. The steps of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy are becoming increasingly confusing. The Chief Economist of BMI's observation is quite insightful: although the inflation data in March has fallen slightly, commodity prices may return due to the Trump era tariff policy, and this "inflation boomerang" effect has thrown market expectations into chaos. Russell Investments bluntly stated that the fundamentals of the US economy are as strong as a fitness coach, and there is no need to rush to cut interest rates before May or June. In this policy fog, Bitcoin seems to have found a new narrative pivot - as the pricing logic of traditional assets is challenged, the safe haven properties of digital gold are being revalued.

In the cold winter of altcoins, Coinank's seasonal index has fallen to an annual freezing point of 13 points, hitting a new low since September 2024. This number coldly declares that only 13 out of the top 100 cryptocurrencies outperform Bitcoin, and the market is experiencing a miracle of "ten thousand coins returning to one". DeFiance Capital pointed out that the "fat protocol theory" has entered its final chapter, and infrastructure projects valued at thousands of times their revenue are like shooting stars wearing emperor's new clothes, rapidly falling under the gravity of reality. This structural transformation has made the market realize that the blockchain world may not need so many flashy facilities, but more practical applications that create value. The technical aspect of the ETH/BTC exchange rate can be described as a thriller, with RSI values hitting a historic low. What's even more deadly is the fundamental crisis - Solana completed a comeback against Ethereum in DEX trading volume, making ETH's situation even worse. When VanEck data shows that spot Bitcoin ETFs have drained $129 billion in liquidity, we seem to see the market voting with its feet: in an era of uncertainty, investors would rather have Bitcoin as a blunt sword than the flashy tricks of altcoins. It is worth noting that the surge in USDT wallet activity is like a firefly in the dark, indicating the covetousness of off exchange funds. With the core CPI falling by 2.8%, this phenomenon of "ammunition hoarding" resonates subtly with the possible policy shift of the Federal Reserve. Just like the silence before a storm, the market is waiting for the FOMC meeting on March 18th to unravel the mystery - whether it is a "hawkish comeback" or a "dovish slow-moving strategy". This monetary policy game will become a key variable determining the direction of risk assets. The technical aspects of Bitcoin itself are equally exciting. The $89000 life and death line set by Matthew Hyland is both a watershed between long and short positions and a touchstone for market psychology. There is a hidden mystery behind this number: if it can stand firm, it means that the upward channel opened since $69000 is still valid; If lost, it may trigger a chain reaction of 'kill more'. It is worth noting that Coinark data shows that Ethereum is experiencing a record breaking sell-off, and this "abandoning the car to protect the leader" fund migration may actually become a booster for Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency market is experiencing the pain of value return. When the speculative foam was punctured one by one, and when the macro fog shrouded all over the country, Bitcoin unexpectedly received the script of "heroes in troubled times". However, the market is always filled with black humor - just as analysts argue endlessly, on chain data shows that the address of the giant whale is quietly increasing its holdings. This may confirm the old saying: when everyone is staring at the chart, the real players have already laid out in the shadows. In the future crypto world, whether Bitcoin can hold its throne may be hidden in the current seemingly chaotic but actually logical market fluctuations. In this capital war without gunpowder, Bitcoin is using its power to interpret the hardcore plot of 'your uncle or your uncle'. As altcoins tremble in the cold winter, the quality of digital gold is becoming increasingly dazzling in the melting pot of macro tightening - after all, liquidity is the king in the survival game, and Bitcoin remains the fiercest predator in this jungle.

Data analysis: According to Coinank data, the daily trading volume of the cryptocurrency market has dropped from a peak of $563 billion on February 4th to the current level of only $200 billion# BTC also fell significantly in sync. The trading volume of the cryptocurrency market has been continuously declining since February 26th, and prices still face the risk of another decline. We believe that the current volume price relationship in the cryptocurrency market has triggered structural risks. Since the end of February, the total market trading volume has shrunk by more than 60%, and the trading volume has only tripled since the beginning of February. This liquidity contraction is significantly negatively correlated with investor sentiment. From the perspective of behavioral finance, the continuous decline in trading volume is not simply a technical adjustment, but a concrete manifestation of the collective expectation transformation of market participants. The synchronous wait-and-see attitude of institutional investors and individual investors creates a dual source of pressure. On the one hand, institutional funds tend to hold positions and wait and see in the absence of clear fundamental support, resulting in a lack of support for large buy orders in the market; On the other hand, after the FOMO sentiment of individual investors subsides, risk appetite returns to a rational range, and this collective cautious attitude makes it difficult for any price rebound to form a sustained breakthrough. It is worth noting the potential risk that the market is falling into a liquidity trap. When there is a reverse relationship between price fluctuations and trading volume, it often indicates that the market has entered a stalemate stage of long short game. From the perspective of historical cycles, this volume price divergence usually requires significant catalysts (such as regulatory policy breakthroughs or technological innovation applications) to break the equilibrium, otherwise it may evolve into a low volatility bearish pattern. The research model shows that the current market recovery requires a positive resonance between quantity and price. If there is no effective increase in trading volume in the next two weeks, even if there is a technical rebound in short-term prices, its sustainability will be questioned. Investors are advised to pay close attention to on chain large transfer data and changes in derivative market holdings, as these leading indicators may provide key validation for trend turning points.
