Market Movements
The crypto market has remained stable over the last two days, with Bitcoin surpassing the 200-day moving average at $84,000 earlier today. A recent U.S. CPI release that was softer than anticipated has positive implications for traders predicting multiple interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve this year.
Highlights
- Memecoin Sector Leading Recovery: The latest 24-hour recovery is predominantly driven by memecoins alongside layer-1 and layer-2 blockchain tokens and AI-centric assets.
- Concerns Persist: However, challenges such as tariffs instituted by President Trump, worries about a looming U.S. recession, and bond market instabilities continue to cast uncertainty on the market’s recovery durability.
Influencing Factors
-
Quarter-End Rebalancing: A significant quarter-end rebalancing is occurring, with large indices like Nasdaq and S&P 500 showing declines. This may lead to increased bond buying as portfolios adjust, possibly benefiting Bitcoin.
-
Weakening Yen: The Japanese yen has faced pressure, which, combined with a potential for rebalancing, could affect U.S. bond yields positively, stabilizing the crypto market.
Quote from Two Prime, SEC-registered investment firm: “Net global liquidity, primarily due to conditions in the U.S. and China, is on the rise.”
Important Events to Watch
- March 13: U.S. producer price index (PPI) for February to be released.
