According to a recent Quicktake post by CryptoQuant analyst abramchart, short-term Bitcoin (BTC) investors are incurring losses, suggesting that the crypto market may have hit its bottom and a trend reversal could be on the horizon. Has Bitcoin Bottomed? Bitcoin experienced significant volatility over the past week, dropping from $96,000 on February 23 to $78,258 on February 27. However, it recovered most of its losses yesterday, rebounding to as high as $95,000. Related Reading: As Bitcoin Sell Pressure Fades, Could A Local Bottom Be Forming? Analyst Explains In the Quicktake post, abramchart highlighted the declining Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) for BTC holders. For those unfamiliar, the SOPR measures the proportion of BTC wallets that have held the cryptocurrency for more than one hour but less than 155 days. According to SOPR, any value greater than 1 indicates that short-term investors are selling at a profit. Conversely, a value below 1 suggests that short-term investors are incurring losses. While a value under 1 may indicate bearish sentiment, it can also be seen as a sign of market capitulation, often followed by a potential trend reversal. The total crypto market cap surged by more than $200 billion yesterday, driven by US President Donald Trump’s announcement regarding the creation of a crypto reserve. As of today, the SOPR sits at 0.95, the lowest it has been since August 2024 when BTC was trading within a consolidation zone around the mid-$50,000 range. The post concludes: We have likely reached good accumulation zones for Bitcoin and are close to the bottom of the current wave. BTC Showing Signs Of Trend Reversal While predicting crypto markets can be difficult, some indications suggest that Bitcoin may be on the verge of a trend reversal after prolonged selling over the past month. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Showing Early Signs Of Bullish Divergence? Analyst Explains For example, during its potential local bottom at $78,258, BTC partially filled a long-standing CME gap between $78,000 and $80,000. CME gaps often act as price magnets, and once filled, BTC typically moves in the opposite direction. Additionally, seasoned crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that BTC has reached its most oversold level since August 2024. Martinez suggested that the high selling pressure on BTC might be nearing its end, potentially signaling a trend reversal. In related news, Andre Dragosch, European Head of Research at Bitwise, noted that despite the market pullback, BTC is flashing a massive contrarian buy signal, presenting an attractive risk-reward opportunity at current prices. On the other hand, Geoff Kendrick of Standard Chartered predicted that BTC may still experience further downside before resuming its bullish momentum. At press time, BTC is trading at $89,826, up 5.3% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, Charts from CryptoQuant and TradingView.com

NEW YORK , March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. digital asset market reached a pivotal milestone with President Trump’s announcement of a proposed U.S. Crypto Strategic Reserve, which includes the same assets tracked by the CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index (“CoinDesk 5”). The President’s support reinforces growing U.S. institutional adoption of digital assets, providing a clear signal to markets that regulatory standards and investment infrastructure are maturing. “The assets proposed for the President’s Crypto Reserve mirror the constituents of the CoinDesk 5, highlighting CoinDesk Indices’ position as the industry standard for digital asset benchmarks, ” said Alan Campbell , President of CoinDesk Indices. “This development strengthens confidence in diversified digital asset investment products and aligns with the broader trend of accelerating market adoption we’re seeing.” With approximately $750 million in assets linked to the CoinDesk 5, the index has established itself as a trusted benchmark for investment products tracking the largest digital assets by market capitalization and liquidity. Financial institutions leveraging the index include Grayscale Investments , whose large cap fund was launched in February 2018 . Other linked-products include Luno Large Cap Bundle , Lyons CoinDesk Large Cap Select Index SMA and BitGo Platform for Wealth Management .

Beyond the CoinDesk 5, investors seeking broader market exposure are increasingly turning to the CoinDesk 20 Index , the most traded diversified digital asset benchmark globally, with nearly $14 billion in accumulated futures and options volume. CoinDesk 20 serves as a high-liquidity reference point for institutional investors managing digital asset portfolios and is available through over a dozen investment vehicles globally. “As digital assets integrate further into the global financial system, we anticipate increased demand for risk management and hedging tools,” added Campbell. “The U.S. administration’s embrace of crypto signals the normalization of digital assets within mainstream financial markets, bringing them closer to traditional asset classes.” For more information on the index visit our website .

After a brief pump above $2,500 levels following Donald Trump’s announcement of a strategic crypto reserves, Ethereum has lost all its weekend gains collapsing all the way to the $2,050 level now. With more than a 36% drop already in ETH price since the start of 2025, this could be the worst performing Q1 in history for the altcoin. Ethereum on Way to Record Its Worst Performing Q1 The world’s largest altcoin, Ethereum (ETH), has faced a classic pump and dump over the last 72 hours. At press time, the ETH price is down more than 14% in the last 24 hours with open interest crashing more than 10.8% to $18.8 billion while 24 hour liquidations soaring to $209 million, per the Coinglass data . Dropping more than 36% from starting the year at $3,300, ETH is on course for its weakest first-quarter performance. A drop to $1,600 would solidify this quarter as the worst in Ethereum’s history, surpassing the decline seen in Q1 2018 following the previous cycle’s peak, said analyst venturefounder. Source: venturefounder Shares of Ethereum ETFs Hit Record Lows Over the past eight sessions, US Ethereum ETFs have witnessed massive outflows. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) faced the biggest blow by clocking more than $164 million worth of outflows since February 24. Additionally, the ETHA share price has tanked by more than 38.59% since the beginning of 2025, crashing all the way to $16.09. It seems that institutional interest in ETH has completely evaporated as the asset lost all of its post US election gains. Popular economist Peter Schiff stated: “Despite Trump’s Truth Social Sunday Ethereum pump, the Ethereum ETFs closed at record lows today. They are now down 40% since they first launched about eight months ago, and 49% below their Dec. 2023 highs. The worst part for investors is that ETH still has a long way to fall”. ETH Price – Buy The Dip Opportunity? Despite the current fall to $2,000, market analysts say that Ethereum provides a buy-the-opportunity to investors. Referring to today’s 14% ETH price crash, market analyst IncomeSharks noted that its “too big of a red candle not to buy”. While noting a cautious approach, the trader confirmed adding a small amount of Ethereum to their portfolio during the dip. Source: IncomeSharks Crypto market commentator Venturefounder has issued a cautious outlook for Ethereum (ETH), suggesting bearish momentum in the near term. However, the analyst emphasized that for those maintaining a long-term bullish view on Ethereum, now could be an opportune moment to start accumulating. “We are going into the undervaluation zone,” the analyst said.
