March 2 News: Bitcoin fell nearly 15% in February. While the market is hopeful for a rebound in March, several analysts point out that investors’ losses have not yet reached their maximum, and prices still have room to decline. Data from Alphractal shows that Bitcoin’s Sharpe ratio has dropped to levels seen at the bottom of previous cycles, indicating that investors can position themselves with lower risk, but the signal is not fully formed yet, and patience is needed. Founder Joao Wedson stated that the annual Sharpe ratio needs to appear at least five to seven times to confirm a bottom, during which Bitcoin could continue to fall to the $48,000–$52,000 range, seen as a potential strategic accumulation opportunity.
CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. pointed out that the unrealized loss rate for Bitcoin has exceeded 39%, indicating most investors are at a loss, but it has not yet reached the bottom levels seen in past cycles, where the bottoming ratio exceeded 60%. This suggests there may still be further downside risk before a full crash. Meanwhile, analyst CW noted that the whale ratio on exchanges has hit a new high, retail investors are being squeezed out of the market, and larger, more experienced participants are leading trading, which also indicates prices may be near the bottom, but market volatility remains a concern.
The current global geopolitical tensions, with escalating conflicts between the US, Israel, and Iran, are increasing market uncertainty. Investors should consider both strategic positioning and risk management when allocating to Bitcoin, especially during periods of high volatility. Based on technical indicators and on-chain data, March could be a key window for Bitcoin to form a cyclical bottom, and also a good opportunity for long-term investors to optimize their positions.
