Market overview
Following the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting, BTC rebounded but fell shortly due to insufficient buying pressure, dropping from $68,240 to $66,000 levels. Technically, the market retraction from $73,777 to $60,775 has come to an end, with the expectation of BTC not falling below the latter. Crucial resistance levels to observe are $66,000 and $70,500. If BTC breaks above $66,000, this suggests a potential short-term price appreciation, while passing $70,500 indicates the likelihood of reaching a new record high. The recent sustained outflow from BTC's spot ETFs seemingly signals the market's anticipation for adjustments. Looking ahead, the focus should be on signals of BTC's strengthening in early April and the potential return cycle of ETF inflows.
DAO Maker will expand into the Solana Network
On March 17th, DAO Maker announced its expansion to the Solana network. DAO Maker will add a $2 million SOL liquidity pool on Raydium and launch four Solana IDO projects. A Solana pre-sale version of DAO Maker will also be rolled out, emphasizing fair distribution. By leveraging its powerful influence, DAO Maker aims to ensure project quality and user fund safety. Between 2020 and 2022, DAO Maker launched seven projects that saw a hundredfold increase. In a bull market cycle, an IDO platform, having strong project resources and promotional capabilities may continue to launch projects that have increasing value. Influenced by this expectation, DAO has been rising recently, with a cumulative increase of 164% in the past month.

Should BOME initiate its empowerment in the future, it may provoke further demand for the token.
