Analysis: Bitcoin has fallen for three consecutive days after dropping below $70,000, but the timing for medium- to long-term positioning may have already appeared.

BTC-4,81%

Odaily Planet Daily News: Bitcoin failed to hold above $70,000 after rebounding over the weekend and has declined for the third consecutive day. Amid weakening spot trading volume, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index remains in the “Extreme Fear” zone. On-chain data provider Glassnode states that this correction is still mild compared to historical cycles, with no signs of panic selling typically seen at cycle tops, suggesting it may be a good point for medium- to long-term positioning. Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs have maintained stable net inflows over the past three days, providing some hedge against market selling pressure. With spot trading volume low, leveraged funds are driving short-term price fluctuations. Previously, Bitcoin’s rebound from lows was affected by crowded short positions, and short-term prices may continue to fluctuate sharply within a range. On the macro front, weaker-than-expected US retail sales data has boosted expectations for rate cuts and suppressed the dollar’s strength. The market will next focus on non-farm employment and inflation data, which could further influence risk asset sentiment. (CoinDesk)

When will Bitcoin rebound? Historical data reveals key prices and potential buying opportunities

February 24 News, Bitcoin has recently been on a continuous decline, sparking market attention on the recovery timing. According to Glassnode data, the 90-day realized profit and loss ratio has fallen below 1 for the first time since 2022, indicating that the market has entered an oversold phase. Historical experience shows that this state typically lasts about six months, suggesting that Bitcoin may remain at low levels until the end of the third quarter of this year. The realized profit and loss ratio reflects the proportion of profits and losses in on-chain transactions. When the ratio is below 1, losses dominate, and investors are mostly capitulating. Past bear market cycles—2015, 2018, and 2022—have all shown this pattern. During these lows, market panic is common, but it also presents potential buying opportunities.

Vitalik Buterin Analyzes Bitcoin Privacy Limitations: Why Decentralization Takes Priority Over Privacy

February 24 News, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated at an event in Chiang Mai, Thailand, that Bitcoin was designed with a priority on decentralization rather than privacy features, so it cannot effectively support both. He pointed out that Bitcoin, in order to maximize decentralization, has almost sacrificed privacy benefits, resulting in highly transparent transactions and account information on the blockchain. Buterin explained that early cryptographic technology relied on centralized institutions to protect privacy because achieving full decentralization and privacy simultaneously was nearly impossible at the time. He emphasized that Bitcoin's design trade-offs involve some sacrifices in privacy, but its decentralization advantage provides the foundation for its network security and resistance to censorship.

Will Bitcoin drop to $50,000? Strategy adds $40 million, Citrini AI report triggers market turbulence

February 24 News, Strategy announced an additional $40 million investment in Bitcoin, despite the current market being somewhat pessimistic about Bitcoin price forecasts. The company currently holds Bitcoin worth $55 billion, with an average cost of approximately $76,020. At Bitcoin's current price of $63,000, unrealized losses amount to nearly $10 billion. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that the company employs a dollar-cost averaging strategy and is not concerned about short-term price fluctuations. Recently, Bitcoin has been affected by geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties triggered by developments in artificial intelligence, and policy changes by the Trump administration, leading to consecutive price declines. Matt Howells-Barby, Vice President of Growth at CEX, pointed out that Bitcoin could potentially drop to $50,000 in the short term. Data from DefiLlama shows that investors sold over $1 billion worth of Bitcoin ETFs in February, bringing the total ETF decline since November last year to $7 billion. Data from CF Benchmark indicates that major hedge funds reduced their Bitcoin ETF holdings by 28% between the third and fourth quarters.
