CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost says the Bitcoin market is entering an early stabilization phase, with stronger long-term holding behavior. The amount of BTC held for more than a year has increased, and investors are more inclined to hold than to distribute. This suggests the market is transitioning toward long-term conviction; the current trend is viewed as an early stability signal, but it needs longer-term confirmation.

During the period from 2026-03-28 13:30 to 13:45 (UTC), the BTC intraday return within 15 minutes reached +0.71%, reported 66,458.1 to 67,150.7 USDT, with a range of 1.04%. During the abnormal move, large transfers surged, exchange deposits were promptly scaled up, and market attention increased while short-term liquidity tightened. The main driving force behind this abnormal move is that large-portfolio accounts have continued to distribute their holdings since the end of 2025, and in early 2026 accelerated transferring BTC to major exchanges, resulting in significant short-term sell pressure. On the derivatives market side, BTC perpetual contracts experienced increased open interest and trading volume, indicating heightened hedging activity and speculative interest, which further amplified market volatility.
