										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Institutional investment activity continues to attract attention in the cryptocurrency market. One of the companies that has made the largest institutional investments in Bitcoin, <strong>Strategy</strong>, purchased a total of 22,337 Bitcoin between March 9, 2026, and March 15, 2026, at an average price of $70,194. This massive purchase, worth approximately $1.57 billion, shows that the company is continuing its Bitcoin accumulation strategy with determination. The large acquisition not only expanded Strategy’s portfolio but also demonstrated that institutional confidence in Bitcoin remains strong. According to experts, high-volume institutional purchases like this have a significant impact on market sentiment and continue to strengthen Bitcoin’s position as a long-term store of value.</p>
<h2>Strategy’s Bitcoin Accumulation Continues to Grow</h2>
<p><strong>Strategy</strong> has been one of the leading companies positioning Bitcoin as a core reserve asset in recent years. According to the company’s latest statement, this large purchase completed within just one week significantly expanded its Bitcoin portfolio. As part of the transaction carried out between March 9 and March 15, 2026, the company bought 22,337 BTC at an average price of $70,194, bringing the total value of the purchase to approximately $1.57 billion. This move shows that Strategy has not stepped back from its long-term Bitcoin investment strategy and continues to see digital assets as an important part of its corporate reserves. At the same time, such high-volume purchases demonstrate that institutional investors’ confidence in the cryptocurrency market remains strong and that major players continue to take an active role in the market.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-65553 aligncenter" src="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/strategy-300x150.jpg" alt="" width="882" height="441" srcset="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/strategy-300x150.jpg 300w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/strategy.jpg 680w" sizes="(max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px" /></p>
<p>In recent years, institutional interest in Bitcoin has steadily increased. The decision of large companies to allocate part of their reserves to Bitcoin has helped digital assets gain a stronger position within the global financial system. Strategy’s major purchase also created a significant psychological impact on the market and redirected investor attention toward institutional activity. Many analysts believe that increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin could affect not only short-term price movements but also the long-term structure of the market. Large-scale acquisitions like this contribute to broader acceptance of Bitcoin in the global financial system while reinforcing the ongoing trend of institutional investment.</p>
<h2>What Does This Mean for the Bitcoin Market?</h2>
<p>Large purchases of this scale are often seen as important indicators of market confidence. Billion-dollar institutional investments, in particular, demonstrate sustained long-term confidence in Bitcoin. Growing interest from institutional investors not only strengthens market liquidity but also contributes to wider acceptance of digital assets within the traditional financial world. Strategy’s $1.57 billion purchase shows that Bitcoin is increasingly becoming a part of institutional investment portfolios. According to analysts, such major institutional moves create a positive effect on market sentiment while also accelerating the maturation of the cryptocurrency market. At the same time, the increasing accumulation of Bitcoin by corporate entities further strengthens the position of digital assets as a long-term investment and store of value, while continuing to support overall market confidence.</p>
<h2>Evaluation</h2>
<p>Strategy’s $1.57 billion investment, through the purchase of 22,337 BTC, stands out as a strong indicator of institutional confidence in Bitcoin. The move demonstrates that the company has not abandoned its long-term digital asset strategy and continues to view Bitcoin as one of its primary reserve assets. The continuation of Strategy’s long-term accumulation strategy also highlights the growing role of Bitcoin in the institutional financial world. According to analysts, such major institutional purchases not only send a strong signal of confidence to the market but also serve as an important reference point for other large investors. If similar institutional moves increase in the coming period, they could further strengthen the cryptocurrency market and reinforce Bitcoin’s position within the global financial system.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">The rapid increase in investments directed toward <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/artificial-superintelligence-alliance-fet-sees-sharp-price-surge/"><strong>artificial intelligence</strong></a> data centers has brought a new debate about <strong>Bitcoin</strong> mining. Some market commentators argue that Bitcoin miners shifting toward the increasingly profitable artificial intelligence infrastructure could have negative effects on network security. Other experts believe that Bitcoin’s protocol design will automatically adapt to such changes.</p>
<p dir="auto">At the center of the discussion lies the competition for electricity usage among miners and its potential impact on the hash power of the Bitcoin network.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Electricity Competition Between Artificial Intelligence and Bitcoin Mining</h2>
<p dir="auto">According to crypto trader Ran Neuner, the artificial intelligence sector has become one of the biggest competitors facing Bitcoin mining. Neuner points out that both sectors consume large amounts of electricity, but artificial intelligence data centers can generate significantly higher revenue from the same energy.</p>
<p dir="auto">According to Neuner’s assessment, revenue per megawatt in Bitcoin mining ranges from approximately $57 to $129, while in artificial intelligence data centers this figure can reach $200 to $500 levels. It is stated that this difference is causing some miners to shift their operations toward the artificial intelligence side.</p>
<p dir="auto">Some developments signaling this transition are also noteworthy. It is reported that Core Scientific has secured up to $1 billion in credit for artificial intelligence hosting services, MARA Holdings has filed an application indicating plans to sell a portion of its Bitcoin holdings as part of its artificial intelligence strategy, and Hut 8 has signed a $7 billion artificial intelligence infrastructure agreement with Google.</p>
<figure id="attachment_65529" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-65529" style="width: 1502px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-65529 size-full" src="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/bitcoin-madenci.jpg" alt="" width="1502" height="461" srcset="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/bitcoin-madenci.jpg 1502w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/bitcoin-madenci-300x92.jpg 300w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/bitcoin-madenci-1024x314.jpg 1024w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/bitcoin-madenci-768x236.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1502px) 100vw, 1502px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-65529" class="wp-caption-text">Bitcoin mining profitability, or hash price, is near an all-time low</figcaption></figure>
<h2 dir="auto">Network Security Debate</h2>
<p dir="auto">Neuner argues that miners leaving the network could lead to a decline in hash rate, which in theory could increase the risk of a 51% attack. Indeed, the total hash power of the Bitcoin network has declined by approximately 14.5% from its peak level reached in October.</p>
<p dir="auto">However, there are also those who disagree with this view. According to Adam Back, one of Bitcoin’s early developers and a cryptographer, Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment mechanism is designed precisely for such situations. Since mining difficulty adjusts automatically, while inefficient miners exit the system, the profitability of the remaining miners can increase.</p>
<p dir="auto">Similarly, investor Fred Krueger states that in the event of rising electricity prices, some miners may temporarily halt operations, but mining can become profitable again following the difficulty adjustment.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Energy Usage and Alternative Views</h2>
<p dir="auto">Bitcoin ESG expert Daniel Batten approaches the discussion from a different perspective. According to Batten, data shows that the growth of the artificial intelligence sector is actually dependent on Bitcoin mining in some cases.</p>
<p dir="auto">Batten argues that Bitcoin mining can utilize unused energy sources, act as a flexible load balancer in energy grids, and operate with cheaper energy sources.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Bitcoin Price Could Be Decisive</h2>
<p dir="auto">According to Ran Neuner, one of the most important factors determining whether miners will shift toward artificial intelligence will be the trajectory of Bitcoin’s price. In his view, a strong price rally could keep miners in the network.</p>
<p dir="auto">Bitcoin’s price has recently gone through a challenging period, recording five consecutive months of declines. This situation was last seen during the bear market in 2018. Nevertheless, March has so far shown a positive picture, with Bitcoin’s price rising approximately 8% since the beginning of the month.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">Cryptocurrency markets started the new week relatively positively during Asian trading hours. In the last 24 hours, many digital assets gained value, and a limited recovery was observed in the markets. However, the economic data to be released in the coming days and geopolitical developments could cause volatility to increase again in <strong>Bitcoin</strong> and other cryptocurrencies.</p>
<p dir="auto">Especially the inflation data to be released in the US, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/capital-inflows-accelerate-in-bitcoin-and-ethereum-etfs/"><strong>interest rate</strong></a> decision, and tensions in the Middle East are among the topics closely followed by investors. How will Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies react?</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Fed Meeting and Interest Rate Decision</h2>
<p dir="auto">The most important development of the week will be the Fed’s monetary policy meeting. Markets are focused not only on the central bank’s decision regarding interest rates but also on Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s statements.</p>
<p dir="auto">Expectations in the futures market indicate that the Fed will not make any changes to interest rates at this meeting. According to current forecasts, the probability of rates remaining unchanged is quite high.</p>
<p dir="auto">Nevertheless, investors will closely monitor Powell’s assessments, particularly regarding the impact of developments related to Iran on energy prices and inflation. Concerns that rising energy prices could increase inflationary pressure have already weakened rate cut expectations.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-184400 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/powell-qt.avif" alt="" width="960" height="640" /></p>
<h2 dir="auto">Inflation Data and Economic Indicators</h2>
<p dir="auto">The Producer Price Index (PPI) data for February, to be released on Wednesday, also holds critical importance for the markets. This data can provide important signals about inflation trends as it reflects changes in production costs.</p>
<p dir="auto">Analysts state that the PPI data is not expected to have a strong enough impact to change the Fed’s current tight monetary policy stance. Nevertheless, every new inflation indicator continues to influence rate expectations.</p>
<p dir="auto">Later in the week, the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index and January new home sales data will be released. These indicators can provide additional clues about the overall health of the US economy.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Bitcoin Solid Stance: Middle East Tensions</h2>
<p dir="auto">In addition to economic developments, geopolitical risks are also on the markets’ agenda. Over the weekend, it was reported that the US carried out an attack on Iran’s Harg Island region, which is critical for the country’s oil industry.</p>
<p dir="auto">Following this development, oil prices rose again, reaching approximately $100 per barrel. The increase in energy prices is seen as an important factor that could affect global inflation expectations.</p>
<p dir="auto">On the other hand, US President Donald Trump is expected to announce the formation of a joint naval security coalition with certain countries to escort ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.</p>
<p dir="auto">The fact that all these developments are occurring within the same week is creating an environment of increased uncertainty in financial markets. Therefore, both upcoming economic data and geopolitical developments are evaluated as likely to lead to higher short-term fluctuations in the crypto markets.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="1296" data-end="1748">Actually, <strong>Bitcoin</strong> balances on exchanges have fallen to levels unseen since November 2017. Liquidity is shrinking. That means the market becomes more sensitive to demand fluctuations. Santiment reports that the percentage of Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges has reached the lowest point in eight years. This shift confirms investors are moving from short-term trading to long-term holding. Luckily, on-chain metrics clearly illustrate this trend.</p>
<p data-start="1750" data-end="2145">Exchange supply metrics track the portion of circulating Bitcoin held in wallets associated with centralized exchanges. Currently, approximately 1.15 million BTC is held on exchanges, representing just 5.74% of the total supply. In comparison, past market cycles show that before similar declines, exchange balances had exceeded 3 million BTC. This highlights the potential for a supply shock.</p>
<h2 data-start="2147" data-end="2198">Liquidity Shrinks, Price Movements Intensify</h2>
<p data-start="2199" data-end="2521">As exchange balances drop, the number of coins immediately available in the market decreases. Actually, when coins move to private wallets or cold storage, supply tightens and price movements can become sharper. Order book depth diminishes; even relatively small buy or sell orders can move the market more aggressively.</p>
<p data-start="2523" data-end="2776">Cryptoquant data shows that exchange reserves decreased from over 3.2 million <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/bitcoin-is-above-the-50-day-moving-average/">BTC</a> in 2024 to around 2.73 million BTC by March 2026. The market price is roughly $70,500, providing a clear comparison between supply and market value over multiple cycles.</p>
<p data-start="2778" data-end="2818">Key exchange balances and percentages:</p>

<h2 data-start="3020" data-end="3072">Scarcity Dynamics and Long-Term Holding Trend</h2>
<p data-start="3073" data-end="3409">So, the drop in exchange reserves shows the long-term holding trend accelerating. Liquidity is decreasing, and the market is more sensitive. Even though over 20 million coins have been mined, the fact that less than 5% remain on exchanges strengthens scarcity dynamics. Supply tightens, and if demand rises, price impact grows larger.</p>
<p data-start="3411" data-end="3760"><strong data-start="3449" data-end="3462">Question:</strong> Why are Bitcoin exchange balances dropping and how does it affect prices?<br data-start="3536" data-end="3539" /><strong data-start="3539" data-end="3550">Answer:</strong> As exchange reserves fall, fewer coins are immediately sellable. This makes price movements sharper during demand surges. Long-term holding strengthens, and scarcity increasingly impacts Bitcoin’s valuation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A notable surge occurred in the cryptocurrency market over the weekend. Bitcoin rose by approximately 2.5% in the last 24 hours and began trading close to the $74,000 level. The leading cryptocurrency, which followed a volatile course during the day, regained upward momentum as investor interest increased. According to analysts, factors behind this rise include strong spot ETF inflows, short position liquidations, and Bitcoin increasingly being viewed as “digital gold” amid macroeconomic uncertainty. In particular, the return of institutional investors to the market through ETFs has significantly contributed to Bitcoin’s price recovery. Growing institutional demand and market liquidity appear to have triggered a short-term relief rally in the crypto market.</p>
<h2>Bitcoin ETF Inflows Supported the Price</h2>
<p>According to market data, Bitcoin experienced a volatile trading session throughout the day. The largest cryptocurrency climbed above $74,000 during the day. Analysts note that strong capital inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs were particularly influential behind this rise. Over the past week, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a total net inflow of $767.3 million. During the same period, spot Ethereum ETFs also saw net inflows of $160.8 million. Bitrue Research Lead Andri Fauzan Adziima commented on the situation:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Bitcoin climbed back toward the $73,000 level thanks to strong spot ETF inflows, a post-liquidation short squeeze, and institutional and whale accumulation in a reduced supply environment following the halving.”</p></blockquote>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-65532 aligncenter" src="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/btcetf-300x91.jpg" alt="" width="1062" height="322" srcset="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/btcetf-300x91.jpg 300w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/btcetf-1024x310.jpg 1024w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/btcetf-768x232.jpg 768w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/btcetf.jpg 1280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1062px) 100vw, 1062px" /></p>
<p>Bitcoin’s rise occurred despite ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran and increasing geopolitical risks in global markets. Iranian officials stated they are prepared for a prolonged conflict, while rising tensions in the region also increased volatility in the oil market. In particular, the possibility of the Strait of Hormuz being closed pushed oil prices higher, with crude oil trading around $98 per barrel. Analysts note that in such uncertain environments, Bitcoin is increasingly being positioned as “digital gold.”</p>
<p>According to Adziima, the current rise may not yet mark the beginning of a confirmed bull rally:</p>
<blockquote><p>“This move looks more like a solid relief bounce from the mid-$60,000 lows. However, if ETF inflows continue, targets above $80,000 for Bitcoin remain possible.”</p></blockquote>
<h2>Critical Support and Resistance Levels</h2>
<p>Market analysts point to several key support and resistance levels when evaluating Bitcoin’s short-term price movements. After the recent rise, the levels at which the price holds or breaks through may determine the market’s direction.</p>
<ul>
<li>$70,000 – $71,000: Stands out as a strong support zone. Maintaining this level is considered important for the continuation of upward momentum.</li>
<li>$73,000 – $74,000: Considered a key resistance zone that needs to be broken in the short term.</li>
<li>Break above $75,000: According to analysts, a strong move above this level could pave the way for the start of a new upward trend.</li>
</ul>
<p>Zeus Research analyst Dominick John notes that a clear breakout above the $75,000 level could trigger a stronger bullish movement in the market. If this level is surpassed, investors may begin to expect a more powerful upward trend.</p>

<h2>Altcoins Also Posted Gains</h2>
<p>Bitcoin’s rise created a positive atmosphere across the broader cryptocurrency market. As the leading cryptocurrency gained value, buying activity accelerated in the rest of the market and notable price increases were observed among major altcoins.</p>
<ul>
<li>Ethereum (ETH): rose to around $2,300</li>
<li>Solana (SOL): reached approximately $94</li>
<li>XRP: began trading around $1.50</li>
</ul>
<p>This rise in the altcoin market indicates that investors are starting to show renewed risk appetite. Analysts note that strong price movements in Bitcoin often provide momentum for the altcoin market as well, supporting a broader recovery across the market.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-65534 aligncenter" src="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ethusdt-300x160.jpg" alt="" width="1067" height="569" srcset="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ethusdt-300x160.jpg 300w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ethusdt-1024x546.jpg 1024w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ethusdt-768x409.jpg 768w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/ethusdt.jpg 1280w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px" /></p>
<h2>Millions of Dollars in Liquidations</h2>
<p>With the recent rise, significant liquidations also occurred in the crypto derivatives market. In the last 24 hours, positions worth a total of $340.98 million were liquidated.</p>
<p>Most of these liquidations came from short positions.</p>
<ul>
<li>Total liquidations: $342.05 million</li>
<li>Short positions: $282.86 million</li>
</ul>
<p>This suggests that the market’s upward movement was largely supported by a short squeeze.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-65535 aligncenter" src="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/liq-1-300x257.jpg" alt="" width="553" height="474" srcset="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/liq-1-300x257.jpg 300w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/liq-1.jpg 570w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px" /></p>
<p>Bitcoin approaching the $74,000 level signals a strong recovery driven by ETF inflows, institutional demand, and short liquidations. At a time when geopolitical uncertainties are increasing, Bitcoin once again standing out with the “digital gold” narrative could boost investor interest in the crypto market. Analysts state that if a breakout above $75,000 occurs, the $80,000 level could once again come into focus for Bitcoin.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="74" data-end="379"><strong>Bitcoin</strong> has regained attention in the markets after breaking through an important technical level. The leading cryptocurrency has climbed above its 50-day moving average for the first time in roughly two months, a development that many market participants view as a sign of strengthening bullish momentum.</p>
<p data-start="381" data-end="610">Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has gained more than 3%, pushing its price to around $73,700. With this move, the asset has managed to rise above the 50-day moving average, which was hovering near $71,125 at the time of the move.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="ue0ump" data-start="612" data-end="652">Why the 50-Day Moving Average Matters</h2>
<p data-start="654" data-end="898">The 50-day moving average is one of the most widely used <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/altcoin-season-at-risk-technical-indicators-sound-warning/">indicators</a> in financial markets when assessing medium-term trends. Traders and analysts frequently rely on this metric to determine whether market sentiment is leaning bullish or bearish.</p>
<p data-start="900" data-end="1212">When an asset trades below this level for an extended period and then successfully breaks above it, the move is often interpreted as a potential signal of improving market conditions. Such breakouts can suggest that buying pressure is returning and that the market may be entering a new phase of upward momentum.</p>
<p data-start="1214" data-end="1379">Market observers note that maintaining price action above this level in the coming days could be an important factor in confirming the strength of the current trend.</p>
<p data-start="1214" data-end="1379"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-200035 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/BTCUSD_2026-03-16_09-22-48.png" alt="" width="1433" height="709" /></p>
<h2 data-section-id="qemxr5" data-start="1381" data-end="1421">Resilience Despite Global Uncertainty</h2>
<p data-start="1423" data-end="1730">Bitcoin’s recent upward movement has taken place against a backdrop of global market volatility. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and developments related to Iran have contributed to fluctuations across financial markets, while several Asian equity markets have also experienced notable instability.</p>
<p data-start="1732" data-end="2004">Despite these pressures, Bitcoin has shown relative resilience. The ability of the cryptocurrency to advance during a period of global uncertainty has drawn attention from investors who are increasingly evaluating digital assets within the broader macroeconomic landscape.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1t7cv0k" data-start="2006" data-end="2032">Can the Rally Continue?</h2>
<p data-start="2034" data-end="2196">Although breaking above the 50-day moving average is generally seen as a positive technical signal, it does not guarantee the continuation of a sustained uptrend.</p>
<p data-start="2198" data-end="2484">Historical examples illustrate that similar breakouts have produced mixed outcomes. Earlier in the year, Bitcoin experienced a comparable move that led to an approximately 8% price increase. However, that rally lasted only about two weeks before selling pressure returned to the market.</p>
<p data-start="2486" data-end="2640">For this reason, analysts caution that while the recent breakout is encouraging, it should not be viewed as definitive proof of a long-term bullish trend.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1o7uklw" data-start="2642" data-end="2678">Focus Shifts to the $75,000 Level</h2>
<p data-start="2680" data-end="2903">If Bitcoin’s upward momentum continues, the next key level attracting market attention is $75,000. This area is particularly significant in derivatives markets, where a large concentration of positions is believed to exist.</p>
<p data-start="2905" data-end="3148">Market makers are reportedly holding substantial short gamma exposure around this level. As prices move closer to $75,000, these participants may need to buy Bitcoin to rebalance their positions, a dynamic that could increase price volatility.</p>
<p data-start="3150" data-end="3284">As a result, any approach toward the $75,000 mark may lead to heightened market activity and sharper price movements in the near term.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="330" data-end="646">When the US-Iran tension erupted, <strong>Bitcoin</strong> reacted immediately. On Saturday, the leading cryptocurrency dropped 8.5%, but within two weeks, it rose about 11% from its lowest point and essentially rose from the ashes. While markets are usually paralyzed, Bitcoin has formed higher lows with each new wave of selling.</p>
<h3 data-section-id="yx1p2g" data-start="648" data-end="684">Market Shock Absorber: Bitcoin</h3>
<p data-start="686" data-end="1120">While traditional stock markets were closed, <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/is-a-bottom-forming-in-bitcoin-whales-start-accumulating-again/">BTC</a> emerged as the only 24/7 liquid market. On February 28, the price dipped to $64,000; on March 2 to $66,000, March 7 to $68,000, March 12 to $69,400, and during the Saturday Harg Island attack, buyers appeared at $70,500. In other words, each wave of selling was met at a higher low than the previous one. This pattern shows that sellers are tiring while buyers are waiting in ambush.</p>
<p data-start="1122" data-end="1508">The most striking point is Bitcoin’s performance compared to other assets over the same two-week period. <strong>Oil prices</strong> have risen more than 40% since the start of the conflict, the S&amp;P 500 remained in a downtrend, gold prices fluctuated, and Asian stock markets recorded their worst week since March 2020. Bitcoin, however, absorbed all this turmoil faster and outperformed other assets.</p>
<p data-start="1122" data-end="1508"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65490" src="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/btc-oil.png" alt="" width="829" height="604" srcset="https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/btc-oil.png 829w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/btc-oil-300x219.png 300w, https://coinengineer.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/btc-oil-768x560.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px" /></p>
<h3 data-section-id="g1f3ix" data-start="1510" data-end="1549">Critical Squeeze: $74,000 Barrier</h3>
<p data-start="1551" data-end="1908">Technically, a rising base formed between $64,000 and $70,000. Each negative news triggered selling, but at higher levels than the previous one. During the March 12 tanker attack, the price held at $69,400 and during the Harg Island attack, it did not fall below $70,500. The $73,000–$74,000 range remains a ceiling that has rejected the price four times.</p>

<p data-start="2497" data-end="2736">Fortunately, the Bitcoin market has become leaner and more resilient after the massive liquidation wave in February. Weak hands have been eliminated; geopolitical shocks now fuel a stronger upward move rather than a destructive collapse.</p>
<p data-start="2738" data-end="2927">Bitcoin is neither a fully safe haven nor a purely risky asset. When shocks arrive, it is the only traded asset that absorbs them faster than others, functioning as a 24/7 liquidity pool.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="65" data-end="375"><strong>Bitcoin</strong> (BTC)’s recent price surge, which pushed the asset close to the $74,000 level during the day, has once again captured the attention of the crypto market. However, the move also sparked fresh criticism from economist and investor <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/peter-brandts-forecast-bullish-momentum-may-start-for-btc/"><strong>Peter Schiff</strong></a>, who has long been known for his skeptical stance toward Bitcoin.</p>
<p data-start="377" data-end="557">Following the rally, Schiff shared his perspective on the market, arguing that the latest upward movement should not be interpreted as the beginning of a sustainable bullish trend.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1sn1asv" data-start="559" data-end="604">Schiff Questions the Strength of the Rally</h2>
<p data-start="606" data-end="812">According to Peter Schiff, the recent rise in Bitcoin’s price does not signal a structural change in the market. Instead, he believes the move represents a temporary rebound within a broader downward trend.</p>
<p data-start="814" data-end="1099">Schiff described the price action as a classic “dead cat bounce,” a term often used in financial markets to refer to a short-lived recovery during a prolonged decline. In such situations, an asset may experience brief upward movements before continuing its broader downward trajectory.</p>
<p data-start="1101" data-end="1241">From his perspective, investors should be cautious about interpreting these short-term rallies as evidence that a new bull market has begun.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1d8t690" data-start="1243" data-end="1282">Gold Versus Bitcoin Debate Continues</h2>
<p data-start="1284" data-end="1493">Schiff also used the opportunity to revisit his long-standing comparison between Bitcoin and gold. During the same period that Bitcoin experienced its price surge, gold prices reportedly saw a modest pullback.</p>
<p data-start="1495" data-end="1679">This divergence may have influenced some investors to rotate capital from gold into Bitcoin. However, Schiff believes that this reaction could be a misinterpretation of market signals.</p>
<p data-start="1681" data-end="1972">In his view, more experienced investors—often referred to as “smart money”—are approaching the situation differently. Schiff argued that these investors may be using Bitcoin’s upward moves as opportunities to sell, while treating temporary declines in gold as potential buying opportunities.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1m5wxr1" data-start="1974" data-end="2014">Comments on the U.S. Economic Outlook</h2>
<p data-start="2016" data-end="2244">Beyond cryptocurrency markets, Schiff also commented on the recent performance of the U.S. economy. He noted that the country’s economy grew by approximately 2.1% in 2025, which he considers weaker compared to the previous year.</p>
<p data-start="2246" data-end="2462">For comparison, Schiff pointed out that economic growth in 2024 was reported at around 2.8%. Based on this difference, he argued that the more recent growth figures indicate a slowdown relative to the earlier period.</p>
<p data-start="2464" data-end="2612">According to Schiff, shifts in macroeconomic performance can play an important role in shaping investor sentiment and financial market expectations.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="14sw12" data-start="2614" data-end="2652">Ongoing Debate in the Crypto Market</h2>
<p data-start="2654" data-end="2913">Bitcoin’s climb toward the $74,000 level has been interpreted by many market participants as a sign of resilience and potential recovery. Nevertheless, critics such as Schiff remain unconvinced that the rally reflects a lasting change in the market structure.</p>
<p data-start="2915" data-end="3149" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">This ongoing divide highlights the broader debate surrounding Bitcoin’s role in global finance. While some investors view it as a long-term store of value, others continue to question its sustainability and treat rallies with caution.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="73" data-end="416"><strong>Bitcoin</strong> has managed to remain above the $70,000 level despite escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Following <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/bad-news-for-ripple-from-the-united-states/">U.S.</a> strikes on military targets on Kharg Island, Iran’s main crude oil export hub, markets briefly reacted with a pullback. However, the world’s largest cryptocurrency maintained its upward momentum on a weekly basis.</p>
<p data-start="418" data-end="691">Over the past week, Bitcoin gained more than 4%, demonstrating resilience even as global uncertainty increased. Although the asset experienced a modest decline over the last 24 hours, it continues to trade above the levels seen before the latest escalation in the conflict.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1fpxztr" data-start="693" data-end="745">Crypto Market Ends the Week in Positive Territory</h2>
<p data-start="747" data-end="929">Despite rising geopolitical risks, the broader cryptocurrency market posted gains throughout the week. Several major digital assets recorded notable increases during the same period.</p>
<p data-start="931" data-end="1138">Ether climbed roughly 5.5%, reaching around $2,090. Dogecoin advanced by about 5%, while Solana rose approximately 4% to trade near $88. BNB also recorded a weekly gain of around 4.5%, reaching roughly $655.</p>
<p data-start="1140" data-end="1359">For Bitcoin, however, the key technical hurdle remains the resistance zone between $73,000 and $74,000. Over the past two weeks, the asset has tested this range multiple times but has yet to achieve a decisive breakout.</p>
<p data-start="1140" data-end="1359"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-199942 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/BTCUSD_2026-03-14_10-33-56.png" alt="" width="1433" height="709" /></p>
<h2 data-section-id="1n2qsz0" data-start="1361" data-end="1409">Markets Are Adapting to War-Related Headlines</h2>
<p data-start="1411" data-end="1659">In the early stages of the conflict, financial markets reacted sharply to each new development due to uncertainty surrounding potential risks. Over time, however, traders appear to have developed a clearer framework for pricing geopolitical events.</p>
<p data-start="1661" data-end="1882">A pattern has gradually emerged: military escalation tends to push oil prices higher, leading to short-term volatility in risk assets, including Bitcoin. Yet after the initial reaction, markets have repeatedly stabilized.</p>
<p data-start="1884" data-end="2016">This suggests that investors are increasingly treating war-related news as temporary shocks rather than long-term market disruptors.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1eflqh" data-start="2018" data-end="2062">Oil Supply Risks and the Strait of Hormuz</h2>
<p data-start="2064" data-end="2244">Another factor contributing to market uncertainty is the risk to global oil supply. The U.S. strike on Kharg Island has raised concerns about further disruptions in energy markets.</p>
<p data-start="2246" data-end="2493">Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that oil infrastructure had been spared for the time being but warned that the situation could change if Iran attempted to block the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes.</p>
<p data-start="2495" data-end="2758">Iran, in turn, warned that attacks on energy facilities could trigger retaliatory actions against U.S.-linked assets in the region. According to energy analysts, the current situation already represents one of the largest oil supply disruptions in modern history.</p>
<h2 data-section-id="1y0q5w8" data-start="2760" data-end="2815">Focus Shifts to the Upcoming Federal Reserve Meeting</h2>
<p data-start="2817" data-end="2977">While geopolitical developments remain a key factor, financial markets are also closely watching the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for March 17–18.</p>
<p data-start="2979" data-end="3248">Oil prices remaining above $100 per barrel, combined with ongoing global uncertainty, have revived concerns about stagflation. Market data currently indicates a strong expectation that the Federal Reserve will keep its policy rate unchanged within the 3.5%–3.75% range.</p>
<p data-start="3250" data-end="3525">However, the economic projections and comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell may prove more influential than the decision itself. Any indication that interest rate hikes could return to the policy agenda may put pressure on risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.</p>
<p data-start="3527" data-end="3742" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">For now, Bitcoin’s ability to maintain levels above $70,000 highlights the market’s resilience. Still, global developments continue to carry the potential to trigger new waves of volatility across the crypto sector.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p dir="auto">One of the world&#8217;s largest asset managers, <strong>BlackRock</strong>, has made noteworthy comments regarding the behavior of <a href="https://coinengineer.net/blog/bitcoin-rules-for-banks-may-change/"><strong>Bitcoin ETF</strong></a> investors. According to Robert Mitchnick, head of the company&#8217;s digital assets division, the vast majority of Bitcoin ETF investors are pursuing long-term accumulation strategies rather than short-term trading.</p>
<p dir="auto">Mitchnick estimates that more than 90% of ETF investors—including retail investors, financial advisors, and institutional investors—continue to accumulate Bitcoin despite market volatility.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Bitcoin ETF Investors Are Adopting a “Buy the Dip” Strategy</h2>
<p dir="auto">According to the BlackRock executive, retail investors in particular are taking a long-term perspective. During market downturns, a significant portion of these investors prefer to “buy the dip” rather than sell. Only about 10% of ETF investors are engaging in shorter-term, tactical trading.</p>
<p dir="auto">This smaller group is largely composed of hedge funds. Their strategies include holding long positions in spot ETFs while shorting futures, or performing “basis trades” (arbitrage strategies). While these approaches are often market-direction neutral, they can still cause short-term fluctuations in ETF inflow and outflow data.</p>
<p dir="auto">In contrast, the overwhelming majority of the investor base continues to approach Bitcoin with a long-term outlook.</p>
<p dir="auto"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-186062 aligncenter" src="https://coinmuhendisi.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/blackrock.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="630" /></p>
<h2 dir="auto">Strong Capital Inflows into Bitcoin ETFs</h2>
<p dir="auto">Despite Bitcoin price volatility, demand for ETFs remains robust. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) attracted approximately $26 billion in net inflows throughout 2025, ranking among the top ETFs worldwide in terms of capital inflows. This performance occurred even though Bitcoin delivered negative returns during the same period.</p>
<p dir="auto">According to Mitchnick, while other parts of the crypto ecosystem experienced selling pressure, ETF investors have shown a more stable and long-term approach. Notably, even as crypto exchanges and leveraged derivatives markets saw heavy selling, ETF investors largely held their positions.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Crypto ETF Demand Concentrated in Bitcoin and Ethereum</h2>
<p dir="auto">BlackRock reports that investor interest in crypto ETFs is heavily concentrated in Bitcoin and Ethereum. While the firm is evaluating opportunities for other digital assets, it is taking a cautious approach to launching new products. When developing new ETFs, the company considers factors such as market maturity, liquidity levels, and real-world use cases.</p>
<h2 dir="auto">Staking Feature Could Strengthen Ethereum ETFs</h2>
<p dir="auto">This week, BlackRock launched a new Ethereum ETF with staking capabilities called ETHB. On its first day of trading, the fund attracted over $43 million in net inflows.</p>
<p dir="auto">Previous Ethereum ETFs were unable to pass staking rewards to investors, meaning holders could not benefit from the network’s native yield. The new structure removes this limitation and offers investors additional income potential.</p>
<p dir="auto">Nevertheless, BlackRock’s flagship Ethereum ETF (ETHA) has also shown strong growth, becoming the third-fastest-growing ETF to reach $10 billion in assets under management. Only the Bitcoin ETFs IBIT and FBTC achieved this milestone faster.</p>
<p dir="auto">With staking income now integrated into the product, BlackRock believes ETHB could become a significant vehicle for investors seeking exposure to Ethereum.</p>
