Last week was characterized by a continuation of the correction from previous weeks, while the signals of the potential reversal of the trend. Bitcoin stayed around USD 80,000, while selected altcoins showed unexpected decrease resistance. Before you a summary prepared by Sebastian Seliga of Zondacrypto.
Situation on the market
The first quarter of 2025 was a time of continuing the inheritance trend on the cryptocurrency market, which began after reaching historical maximas in January. March, traditionally a month with mixed historical results for Bitcoin, brought further cooling, causing uncertainty among investors. Until March 14, Bitcoin oscillated around the level of 80,736.92 USD, recording a decrease of 0.6% in the last 24 hours, while Ether lost 1.9%, falling to USD 1,871. This weakness of the flagship cryptocurrencies remained despite the decrease in inflation in the US and positive signals from the technology sector on the stock markets.
The correction of February, which was one of the strongest declines since May 2021 (in the order of 20%), effectively cooled the enthusiasm of investors after a record January. The overall decrease in the mood was also affected by the escalation of the trade war after the decisions of the administration of President Donald Trump about the re -introduction of duties in trade with foreign partners. This factor remains a key source of global economic uncertainty, which has a direct impact on the digital assets market.
It is worth noting that at the same time some altcoins have shown extraordinary decline resistance. For example, rapid, short-term increases were registered, where Bitcoin suddenly fired by 10%, with altcoins such as XRP or Ada gaining between 30-60%. This may indicate the early signs of the so -called “Altseason”.
Inflation, analyzes, changes and regulations
On Wednesday, March 12, the attention of markets was caught by the publication of inflation data in the USA, which indicated a further weakening of price pressure. Despite this positive signal, the reaction of the cryptocurrency market was subdued, which suggests that investors remain cautious about economic and geopolitical prospects.
The loudest regulatory topic of recent days was definitely the announcement of the creation of an American strategic digital asset reserve. Although the details of this initiative have not yet been fully disclosed, preliminary information suggests that the reserve may be based on cryptoctives confiscated as part of criminal and civil proceedings, without additional purchases from the US government. Despite this reservation, the very concept of the federal cryptocurrency reserve is an unprecedented step towards the institutional acceptance of digital assets.
On Tuesday, the second date has expired for the American Commission of Securities and Stock Exchange (SEC) regarding the application for approval of the Solan Spot ETF. This decision was particularly important in the context of the ongoing expansion of ETF funds on the cryptocurrency market, initiated by the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETF in January 2024.
Among the technical factors supporting potential increases, indicators such as average walking (50-day and 200-day) and Bollinger Bands are mentioned, which indicate the possibility of continuing the upward trend in the long run. At the same time, experts warn against risks related to government regulations, violent profits by large investors and global financial crises that could negatively affect the demand for risky assets.
Altcoins forecasts also deserve attention. Analysts from the Toobit stock exchange point to the potential revival of three cryptocurrencies, which in the past enjoyed great popularity: Dogecoin (Doge), XRP and Cardano (ADA). According to experts, these once “dead” coins regain their place on the market and can be an interesting investment option in 2025.
The Ethereum update called Pectra is a particularly important event on the horizon. This significant update is to contain eight key improvements, including improving the functionality of the portfolio and staking mechanisms.
Summary
The upcoming days will bring further explanations regarding regulatory initiatives in the US and a potentially breakthrough update of Ethereum Pectra, which will certainly affect the dynamics of the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem. Investors should be vigilant and diversify their portfolios, remembering the increased risk during periods of increased market variability.
