MARKETS week ahead: March 31 – April 6Last week in the news Trade tariffs and inflation were the most watched words during the previous week, which shaped the market sentiment. Although US equities tried to express some shy positivity, the University of Michigan consumer Sentiment on inflation expectations put a shadow on a positive sentiment. The US equity market was traded sharply to downside on Friday, where the S&P 500 lost 1,97% in value, ending the week at the level of 5.580. On the opposite side was the price of gold, which reached the fresh, new all time highest level at $3.080. The 10Y US Treasury benchmark yields also reacted strongly to increased inflation expectations, dropping on Friday to the level of 4,25%. The crypto market followed the general negative sentiment, where BTC ended the week modestly above the $82K. The US macro data published during the previous week, strongly impacted market sentiment. The PCE for February showed further modest increase in inflation, as the index reached 0,3% for the month and 2,5% on a yearly basis. Core PCE continues to be elevated, with an increase of 0,4% in February and +2,8% compared to the previous year. However, the highest surprise came from the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment, final for March, where inflation expectations for this year were elevated to the level of 5,0%, a jump from previous 4,3%. At the same time, there has been an increase in inflation expectations for the next five years, which reached the level of 4,1% from previous 3,5%. The increased inflation expectations in line with news regarding trade tariffs put the negative sentiment among investors, where the US equity markets dropped sharply during Friday's trading session, as well as US Treasury yields. Another tech company above the $ 1B valuation is free for trading on the NASDAQ from the previous week. The company in question is CoreWawe, under ticker CRWV. The company is a seller of artificial intelligence in the cloud, and is a supplier of OpenAI. CoreWave is better known as one of the companies with the highest initial public offering of $1,5B. The achieved price at the first trading day on Friday was $40 per share. Analysts from Bank of America noted on Friday that, in their opinion, the equities in the US are still very expensive. The exact wording that was used is that the market “remains statistically expensive on almost every measure we track”. However, they acknowledged the recent correction, but remain cautious on the policy uncertainty. As news is reporting, Grayscale, the US based investment fund, filed with SEC for the approval for their first spot Avalanche exchange traded fund to be listed on NASDAQ. Grayscale for some time is managing the Avalanche Trust, which carries 2,5% yearly fee. If approved, the ETF will provide for a wider range of investors exposure toward AVAX token. Crypto market cap CRYPTO MARKET Markets were not happy with increased inflation expectations, while further rhetoric regarding new trade tariffs from the US Administration and other world governments are not providing any sort of confidence to investors. Market reacted in a negative manner during the previous week, dragging the crypto market toward the downside. Total crypto market capitalization was decreased by additional 3% or total $72B on a weekly basis. Daily trading volumes were modestly increased to the level of $132B on a daily basis, from $92B traded a week before. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -18%, with $592B outflow of funds. General negative market sentiment pulled the crypto market toward the downside, but not all altcoins ended the week in red. BTC had the highest decrease in market cap of $28B, decreased its value by 1,7% w/w. ETH lost $16B in value or 6,8%. Other major coins ended the week in a negative territory. XRP had a weekly drop in value of 10,7%, with a loss of FWB:15B in market cap. BNB was down by 3,1%, market favourite Solana decreased its value by 2,5%, while ADA dropped by 4,5%. Few coins finished the week with a positive weekly result. ZCash managed to add to its value almost 18%, Maker ended the week higher by 8,5%. With respect to coins in circulation, some of the highest weekly gains were marked with stablecoin Tether, with an increase in the number of coins by 0,5%. Solana`s coins in circulation were higher by 0,3%, while Polkadot increased the number of coins on the market by 0,6% w/w. Crypto futures market The crypto futures market was also in a negative mood during the previous week. Although BTC lost around 1,7% in value on a weekly basis, its futures decreased much less, around 0,5% for all maturities. Still, for the last three weeks, BTC long term futures fell below the $100K level but are still holding above the $90K. Futures maturing in December this year closed the week at $88.500, which was a drop of around 1% w/w, while futures maturing in December 2026 were last traded at $97.570 or 0,44% lower w/w. ETH futures had a higher drop on a weekly basis, of more than 5%. In this sense, futures maturing in December 2025 achieved the last price at $1.983, and those maturing in December 2026 ended the week at $2.133. by XBTFX5
The "Good" Crypto Narrative Is OverIt's been a while since I've done a bit of a deep-dive on this market and why I don't believe it'll sustain a significantly higher value in the future. I no longer have the stamina to write a long-winded post. It's exhausting at this point, and I don't need to reiterate it. Instead, I'll summarize recent developments and their impact on the crypto narrative. 1) The TOTAL crypto market cap currently rests below the all-time high from 2021. This is even including stablecoins. There is $144B worth of USDT currently in circulation. In 2021, that number was $80B. Meanwhile, stock indexes and several individual stocks are significantly up from their last peaks. From a "store of value" standpoint, this doesn't look great, particularly factoring in inflation. Adjusted for inflation, Bitcoin itself is sitting below its inflation-adjusted 2021 all-time high, which is around $84K. 2) Bitcoin active addresses are back to 2017 levels and BELOW the levels from even the previous bear market! This implies that "authentic" adoption has stagnated and begun a decline. studio.glassnode.com 3) In the eyes of a growing number of investors, Trump and Elon's crypto push has only solidified the crypto market as a joke and as a global symbol of greed and corruption. 4) Gold has far outpaced Bitcoin as a store of value during this recent period of turbulence, disproving Bitcoin as a possible safe haven. Here is the Bitcoin/Gold chart for reference: 5) Still, if cryptocurrencies completely ceased to exist, there would be no net-negative effect on the world. In fact, it may be a net-positive. Unless this suddenly changes, crypto does not have any real world value. You cannot say this about most MIL:1T + markets: If most major companies and resources ceased to exist, we'd see a very significant (mostly negative) impact on our daily lives, almost immediately. In summary, I don't think people will be coming in droves to invest in this market. I think that ship has sailed. The opportunity for it to prove itself has waned, and it has been overtaken by largely bad actors. If anything, I think people are more likely to be forced to buy it than enter the market willingly. From a technical standpoint, a breakdown from the big uptrend channel in the chart above would likely confirm that the top is in. --------------------------------------------- Beware, a crypto narrative still exists, but it's only the one fed to us by those in power. It will be important not to fall for it. I worry that people will be forced to own cryptocurrencies, at the expense of their freedom. And even in a situation where crypto prices continue to increase, it is unlikely to be seen positively. Once we graduate from these strange and confusing times, rife with dissociation, monopolies, grift, and power consolidation, it seems more likely that humanity will look at crypto as part of an uncomfortable past. If we never move on to more optimistic times, and things continue to become more dystopian, well, then that would be a time where crypto adopters can say, "hey, we were right!" But...at what cost? Regardless, it will always be possible to profit from the volatility, hence my attempts at trading a little recently, with a focus on Litecoin. So, trading opportunities will present themselves, which will keep at least some people interested in this market. I think it is unlikely to be enough liquidity to sustain significant new all-time highs. Here is my last big post, where I detailed more reasoning - this was prior to the Bitcoin ETF's: And here is a recent post, where I describe how my own thoughts about the market evolved, from when I first entered in 2017 to the present: As always, this represents only my opinion, and is meant for speculation and entertainment only, not as financial advice. There are many other opinions out there. It is your responsibility to develop critical thinking. Thanks for reading as always! -Victor Cobra Shortby VictorCobra4
Massive storm hiting the crypto market soon!The Correlation Between SPX500 (Wall Street) & Crypto 📉📈 The relationship between SPX500 and crypto is not always stable. Sometimes they move in sync, like the Earth and Moon, and other times, they are completely decoupled. But rarely, we get an eclipse—a moment of total disconnection. And guess what? That’s about to happen. 🔎 What’s Happening? Looking at the charts, SPX500 had a massive rally last year, but while Wall Street boomed, crypto was bleeding. Most altcoins were slaughtered, and the TOTAL crypto market cap suffered. But now, SPX500 is overbought, while crypto is oversold. 👉 This time, the decoupling will work in crypto’s favor! 💰 $2 Trillion in Sidelined Cash Ready to Flow In Right now, about $2 trillion USD is sitting on the sidelines—money that institutional investors are hesitant to deploy due to market uncertainty. Many are keeping their funds in USD or foreign bonds instead of taking risks. However, if you check my April/May forecast, we can see that: ✅ Crypto will be deeply oversold (confirmed by RSI & weekly MACD crossover). ✅ The US Dollar is weakening, forcing investors to move their money into other assets. ✅ SPX500 turning bearish = capital rotating into crypto. 🚀 The Perfect Storm for Crypto 📉 SPX500 bearish 💵 USD weakening 📈 Crypto bullish This creates the perfect setup for rich investors to flood the crypto market with fresh liquidity. 💡 What does this mean for prices? - CRYPTOCAP:BTC could double (100% gain). - Altcoins could skyrocket (x10 to x100). - This would finally trigger the altseason we’ve been waiting for—the parabolic move that happens once every four years. 📆 Timeline: April – June 2025 This move will be so explosive that it will eventually trigger a correction—possibly leading to a bear market. However, since crypto now moves in 6-month cycles, this correction should end by December 2025, setting up another leg up. 🏁 Final Thoughts This kind of SPX500 & crypto decoupling is extremely rare, so positioning before the rotation starts is crucial. ⏳ Exact timing? Hard to say. But April/May looks like the moment when everything aligns. 🚨 DYOR as always—anything can happen to invalidate this idea.Longby CryptoNikkoidUpdated 101022

MARKETS week ahead: March 24 – 30Last week in the news The Fed held interest rates unchanged during their FOMC meeting held the previous week, and stuck to its previous plan of two rate cuts during the course of this year. Still, uncertainties regarding moves from the US Administration are strongly interfering investors decisions, in which sense, markets are still in a wait-and-see mood. The S&P 500 modestly gained during the week, ending it at the level of 5.667. The US Treasury yields remained relatively quiet, finishing the week at 4,25%. The price of gold reached a fresh, new all time highest level at $3.050. The crypto market was also traded in a mixed mood, with BTC ending the week above the $84K. The most important event during the previous week was the FOMC meeting. Fed officials decided to leave interest rates unchanged, as was highly expected by market participants. Current economic sentiment, under the influence of trade tariffs are perceived as “uncertainty around the economic outlook has increased” so the risks have aroused around both sides of Fed's dual mandate. The GDP projection for this year was corrected by 0,4% to the level of 1,7%. Despite uncertainties, the Fed is still on the track of a 0,5 percentage point decrease in interest rates during this year, which would account for two rate cuts. The Fed noted in its policy statement rising uncertainties around economic outlook caused by radical decisions of the new US Administration, while companies are starting to project their corrected earnings and growth for the future period. In this sense a company Nike noted expectations on decreased earnings originating from drop in sales due to trade tariffs. Shares of a consulting firm Accenture dropped by 7,3%, affected by the measures taken by the US DOGE amid cuts in spending. Some good news for Ripple and its four years long battle with the SEC. As per news officially posted during the previous week, the SEC officially dropped the lawsuit against Ripple over its XRP token. As this was positive news, XRP coin jumped in value by 11%. During the previous week Reuters published the news that the United Arab Emirates committed to the US Government to make $1,4 trillion investments into the US economy. The investments would be in the field of AI infrastructure, semiconductors industry, energy and local manufacturing. The investment is set for a period of next 10 years. MicroStrategy finalized the sale of a series of preferred stocks, in total value of $711M. The fresh funds will be used for purchase of BTC, and is expected that the company will then hold a total 500.000 BTC tokens. Crypto market cap The uncertainty is currently the main word on financial markets, which influence the sentiment of investors. After turbulent last few weeks, the crypto market relatively calmed down. During the previous week, it was traded in a relatively shorter range, with almost equal number of altcoins with both positive and negative end of the week. Total crypto market capitalization remained flat during the previous week, with an modest outflow of $ 10B on a weekly basis. Daily trading volumes were further decreased to the level of around $92B on a daily basis, from $102B traded a week before. Total crypto market increase from the beginning of this year, currently stands at -16%, with $520B outflow of funds. Regardless of short move toward the higher ground, BTC ended the week flat on a weekly basis, without a significant change in its market cap. On the opposite side was ETH, who managed to modestly increase its value by 2,3%, adding $5,5B to its capitalization. Other altcoins were traded in a mixed manner. On a positive territory was EOS, with a weekly gain of almost 9%, Tron was traded higher by 5,8% w/w and Maker was higher by 3% on a weekly basis. Uniswap gained the most with an increase of more than 12% in value. Market favorite Solana dropped in value by 4,3%, losing $ 3B in cap. ADA was down by 6%, erasing $1,6B in its value. The highest weekly move in circulating coins had Uniswap, who not only increased its market cap by 12%, but also increased circulating coins by 4,6%. This was one of the largest increases of circulating coins for Uniswap in the recent period. IOTA also had an increase in coins on the market by 0,5% w/w, while Solana`s number of coins surged by 0,2%, same as Algorand and Filecoin. Crypto futures market The crypto futures market was aligned with the spot market during the previous week. BTC futures were traded lower by more than 1% on a weekly basis. BTC futures maturing in December this year ended the week at the level of $89.355, while December 2026 was last traded at $98.005. ETH futures ended the week in a positive territory, around 2% higher from the end of the previous week. ETH futures maturing in December this year closed the week at $2.095, and those maturing a year later were last traded at $2.252. by XBTFX9
TOTAL pumps by another $100B or maxes out at $200B, it’ll drop bIf TOTAL pumps by another $100B or maxes out at $200B, it’ll drop back to $2,400B. Not long ago, I shared a post predicting that when TOTAL hits $2,900B, BTC would face another pullback. We’re now inching close to that $2,900B mark, and the ceiling at $3,070B is where the market will see a hefty cash-out—a massive $$$ withdrawal. $2,900B - $3,070B: The high adjustment zone for a downturn. $2,400B: The level we’ll watch in the upcoming dip.

$TOTAL Crypto Market Cap: Testing a Key Resistance LevelThe CRYPTOCAP:TOTAL crypto market cap has just hit the upper edge of a descending channel, currently sitting at $2.84T. Here’s why this moment is worth watching closely: 🔹 Mixed Signals Across Timeframes On the 12H and daily charts, there’s still room for more upside, which is pretty exciting for bulls! But on the 4H chart, we’re already looking quite overbought, so we might be at a turning point. 🔹 Breakout Potential If we can break through this channel resistance—and I’m talking about a strong move with solid volume behind it—we could see some serious momentum. I’m targeting $3.1-3.25T as the next major zone, a key liquidity area and Point of Control (POC) where we might see a lot of action. If the breakout holds, that move could happen faster than you think! 🔹 What If We Don’t Break Out? If the breakout fails, I’d expect the price to consolidate near this upper channel line for a bit, which would be a healthier setup for the next leg up. As part of this consolidation, we might see a dip to grab liquidity at the previous low around $2.7T before climbing higher. That pullback could actually set us up for a more sustainable rally later on.by AtlasTradeFeoUpdated 1

What happens when TOTAL increases to $2.970T and go down 1.950T?BTC will fill your account with hope, turning it a green hue, reaching a peak of $2.970 trillion. It will linger there for a while, basking in the glory, only to be met with a dark twist as the market aligns with some negative news, followed by a surge of ultra-optimistic, hot news that keeps you on that high. Then, the market quietly pulls the capital back, returning to the $2 trillion mark. What do you think of this scenario? How will you prepare for the upcoming phase? With $2.75 billion increasing by $200 billion, BTC and Altcoins will take turns flourishing in an eerie dance of highs and lows. Good luck... but beware!by rainbow_sniper221

Chaos to Clarity: Mastering the Discipline Mindset5min read Looking back on my journey as an investor, I can see how much my mindset shaped my path. When I first started, I was a mess—chasing every hot tip, jumping into trades without a plan, and letting my emotions call the shots. I’d feel a surge of excitement when price spiked, but the moment it dipped, I’d panic and sell, locking in losses. It was a chaotic rollercoaster, and I was losing more than I was gaining. I knew something had to change, but I wasn’t sure where to begin. One day, I took a step back and really looked at myself. I realized the market wasn’t my biggest problem—I was. I was reacting to every little fluctuation, letting fear and greed drive my decisions. I started paying close attention to how I felt when I made trades. Was I anxious? Overconfident? I began noticing patterns. When I was stressed, I’d make impulsive moves that almost never worked out. But when I was calm and focused, my choices were better, and I’d often come out ahead. That was my first big revelation: my state of mind was the key to everything. I decided to get serious about controlling my emotions. I started small, setting strict rules for myself. I’d only trade when I was in a good headspace—calm, clear, and ready to stick to my plan. If I felt off, I’d step away from the screen, no exceptions. It was tough at first. I’d catch myself itching to jump into a trade just because everyone else was talking about it. But I learned to pause, take a deep breath, and check in with myself. Over time, I got better at staying steady, even when the market was a whirlwind. I also realized how much my beliefs were holding me back. I used to think I had to be in the market constantly to make money. If I wasn’t trading, I felt like I was missing out. But that mindset just led to burnout and bad calls. I started to change my thinking—I told myself it was okay to sit on the sidelines if the conditions weren’t right. I began to see that success wasn’t about being the busiest; it was about being the smartest. I focused on quality over quantity, and that shift made a huge difference. My wins started to outnumber my losses, and I felt more in control than I ever had. One of the toughest lessons came when I stopped blaming external factors for my failures. If a trade went south, I’d point the finger at the market, the news, or even the system I was using. But deep down, I knew that wasn’t the whole truth. I had to take responsibility for my own actions. I started treating every loss as a chance to learn. What was I feeling when I made that trade? Was I following my rules, or did I let my emotions take over? By owning my mistakes, I began to grow. I became more disciplined, more aware of my own patterns, and better at sticking to what worked. I’m not going to pretend I’m perfect now—I still make mistakes, plenty of them. At the beginning of this week, I came into trading loaded with personal problems from real life. I didn’t even pause to clear my head; I just dove straight into the charts and started opening long positions without much thought. By Friday, I realized what I’d done—I’d let my distracted, emotional state drive my decisions. So, I closed all my positions except one, cutting my losses quickly and stepping back to reassess. That’s what’s changed: I recognize those mistakes almost immediately now. I don’t hang on to them or let them spiral. I catch myself, fix the problem fast, and move on without beating myself up. That ability to pivot quickly has been a game-changer. I’m not stuck in the past anymore—I’m focused on getting better with every step. Over time, I learned to tune out the noise and focus on what I could control. I stopped worrying about what other people were doing and started trusting my own process. I’d remind myself that investing isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about the person behind the trades. The more I worked on my mindset, the more consistent my results became. I learned to stay present, keep my emotions in check, and approach every decision with a clear head. That’s what turned me into the investor I am today—someone who’s not just chasing profits, but building a sustainable, successful approach to the markets, mistakes and all. Educationby vagada0

The Power of Commitment in Trading Psychology: A Key to Success The Power of Commitment in Trading Psychology: A Key to Success 📈💡 Hey TradingView community! I’ve been diving into some trading books lately, and one chapter really hit home: it’s all about commitment. Turns out, it’s the key to making it as a trader—especially in the crypto space where volatility can test your emotions. Here’s what I learned and how I’m applying it to my trading mindset. Commitment isn’t just about showing up—it’s about promising yourself to be the best trader you can be. I read about a guy who made a ton of money but lost it all because he wasn’t fully in. It made me realize: you can’t just dabble in this game. You gotta go all in. For me, this means sticking to my trading plan, even when the market (or my emotions) tempts me to stray. In crypto, where prices can swing wildly, this is crucial. One big thing that messes with commitment is the battle between wanting quick wins and sticking to a plan. I’ve caught myself following random advice without thinking—anyone else been there? It’s a trap. Commitment means getting your mind, emotions, and actions on the same page. I’m working on staying disciplined by focusing on my system, even during losing streaks. For example, I use stop-losses and take-profits to keep my emotions in check when trading BTC or ETH. Here’s a 3-step process I picked up to build commitment: 1️⃣ Figure out what you really want from trading (e.g., steady growth, not just mooning coins). 2️⃣ Spot what’s getting in your way (like fear of losses or FOMO). 3️⃣ Make a plan to push through—like setting clear risk management rules. For me, this has been a game-changer in staying consistent, especially in volatile markets like crypto. Psychology matters so much! A lot of traders fail not because their system sucks, but because they can’t stick with it. I’m starting to see how knowing myself better helps me stay committed. Some practical stuff I’m trying: starting small to build confidence, sticking to my system no matter what, learning from experienced traders, and not letting fear of losses throw me off. My current focus is on keeping my position sizes small (1-2% risk per trade) and reviewing my equity curve weekly to ensure I’m on track. Biggest takeaway: commitment is what makes or breaks you as a trader. It’s about knowing yourself, staying disciplined, and pushing through the tough times. I’m ready to step up—how about you? What’s your biggest challenge with staying committed in trading? Let’s discuss in the comments! 👇 Educationby vagada0
TOTAL LONG TERM ANALYSISIn my analysis, the FED’s interest rate decision and how liquidity will shape as a result will determine the future of the market. I believe the likelihood of a FED rate cut will increase in the next meeting. However, I expect a period of stability in the market before the meeting. In other words, I think this will lead the market into an accumulation phase within its zigzag structure, preparing for a breakout. I expect that the FED rate cut expectations will strengthen by the time of the next meeting, and initially, the market will react with the "buy the rumor, sell the news" behavior. That is, such news is usually priced in first, followed by a sell-off. However, once the news is confirmed, the market will experience a short-term pullback. This could be the final "shakeout" phase. When the market starts an upward rally, it will not want to carry the "small investors" and "some institutional players" on its back. In the market, leveraged positions will be liquidated, and then the rally will begin with real demand. Those who use high leverage should pay attention to what I am saying. I cannot overlook the manipulation factor. In such phases, as liquidity increases, a manipulation period occurs. Afterward, weak investors are shaken out, and real buyers start to dominate the market. Considering the price target in the chart (values between 2.17T and 3T), I expect a strong upward movement after manipulation. However, I believe investors should be cautious, taking volatility into account.Longby OzgunDashdan1

MARKETS week ahead: March 17 – 23Last week in the news Tariffs-on, tariffs-off continues to shape market sentiment. The US equity markets tried to cover some weekly losses, where S&P 500 ended the week at the level of 5.638, after the index reached its lowest weekly level at 5.508. Considering uncertainty, the price of gold reached another all time highest level at $3K. The US Dollar continues to lose in strength, while US Treasuries are digesting latest inflation data and Michigan Consumer Sentiment with higher inflation expectations. The 10Y US benchmark is ending the week at the level 4,32% and is preparing for the forthcoming FOMC meeting on March 19th. The crypto market had a mixed week, with a lower start and an attempt to close the week higher. BTC passed the $80K resistance, ending the week above the $84K. The US inflation data for February was in the spotlight of the market during the previous week. Inflation of 0,2% for the month was in line with market expectations, bringing the inflation to the level of 2,8% when compared to the previous year. On a positive side were also jobs figures, where a total of 7,74M new jobs were opened in February, above market expectations of 7,63M. However, surprising figures came from the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment index, which was much lower from the market forecast. Preliminary figure for March was standing at 57,9, lower from estimated 64,7. At the same time, inflation expectations were increased to the level of 4,9%. The FOMC rate decision is scheduled for March 19th, when Fed officials will also discuss the current market conditions and forecasts. The integration of the crypto market into the mainstream markets continues through new exchange traded funds, which large investment fund managers are currently filling for with the SEC. As per news published during the previous week, VanEck, a large US investment firm, has filed with SEC a launch of the exchange traded fund which will follow the Avalanche avax coin. Previously, Franklin Templeton, another investment firm, filed a launch of the ETF which will follow the price of XRP, while in February this year, the fund also filed a launch of an ETF following Solana`s spot price. BTC related convertible bonds are now available to retail investors through the REX exchange traded fund. The convertible bonds of Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy represent the majority of funds assets. Other holdings include convertible bonds from several crypto miners. The REX ETF was launched on NASDAQ (BMAX), with 0,85% expense ratio and total AUM of $25M. Crypto market cap Tariffs-on, tariffs-off were the major driver of the sentiment on financial markets during the previous period. The crypto market was also driven by the generally negative mood of investors which were trying to position for the uncertain future developments. The fear of potential negative effects of imposed tariffs is embedded into current positioning of investors. The crypto market continued with the downtrend during the start of the previous week, but then tried to recover as the week passed on. Total crypto market capitalization decreased by a modest 2% on a weekly basis, losing total $50B in value. Daily trading volumes were also modestly increased to the level of $129B on a daily basis, a shy increase from around $102B traded a week before.
