Market overview

BTC has rebounded from its decline, oscillating in the range of $68,200-$71,700. As long as it has not dropped below the lower limit of $68,200, it's assumed that the latest adjustment has not yet begun. At present, the bulls need to break through and stabilize at the key resistance level of $71,700 for BTC to surge towards $75,000. On March 28th, BTC attempted a tentative rise to as high as around $71,700 but was quickly suppressed. From a mainstream market standpoint, the psychological breakpoint for traders seems to rest above $70,000. Applying a strategy of market oscillation to explore the superior and inferior resistance, as well as support levels, could be on the cards. The performance of some alternative coins is noticeably lagging behind BTC. If BTC's dominance continues to rise, it is very likely to kick off the next wave of rise.

BTC Spot ETF

As of March 28th, the total net inflow of BTC spot ETF reached $12.12 billion, with a single-day net inflow of $179 million and a single-day turnover of $3.7 billion. The ETF net assets accounted for 4.25% of the BTC market value, among which the main observations include: 

GBTC: Single-day net outflow of $104 million, a cumulative net outflow of $14.77 billion, single-day turnover of $750 million, and current net asset value of $23.64 billion; 

IBIT: Single-day net inflow of $95.12 million, cumulative net inflow of $12.51 billion, single-day turnover of $1.82 billion, current net assets of $17.83 billion;

After experiencing consecutive net outflows from March 18th to March 22nd, BTC spot ETF has seen a continuous net inflow for four days, corresponding to a 10%+ rebound in BTC price. The trend of BTC is becoming Americanized, mirroring the US stock market trend with significantly lower trading volume on weekends when there is no trading. In the long term, continued institutional involvement is favorable for the BTC price to break new highs.
