Ah, the fateful day of March the 10th, when Bitcoin, that capricious creature of the digital realm, plummeted to a mere $80,052! A staggering 7% decline in the span of a mere 24 hours, as if it were a wayward goose caught in a tempest, all thanks to the ever-controversial economic policies of one Donald Trump. As I pen these words, the digital coin flutters about, trading at a somewhat more respectable $82,200, but who knows how long that will last? 🤔
According to the oracle of crypto.news, the entire cryptocurrency market has taken a nosedive, losing 7% of its value and now languishing at a paltry $2.77 trillion. Solana and XRP, those two gallant knights of the blockchain, have also succumbed to the same fate, each suffering losses of 7%. Meanwhile, Ethereum, that ever-ambitious cousin, has tumbled 8% and is now flirting with the $2,000 mark. Yet, amidst this chaos, Bitcoin’s dominance remains steadfast at 58.2%, as if it were a proud rooster strutting in a henhouse. 🐔
In the last 24 hours, the market has witnessed a veritable bloodbath, with $616 million in liquidations, as if the financial gods were having a particularly cruel laugh. Long positions, bless their hearts, bore the brunt of this calamity, suffering losses amounting to $540.49 million. Bitcoin alone contributed a staggering $231 million to this tragic tale of woe.
Adding to the drama, Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange opened at $82,110 on that fateful day, down a shocking $4,320 from the previous day’s close of $86,430. After a record-breaking plunge of $10,350 on March the 3rd, this was the second-largest single-day drop this month. One can only imagine the traders clutching their pearls in horror! 😱
The source of this market malaise? None other than President Trump himself, who, in a rather candid moment during a March 9th Fox News interview, admitted that his economic policies would bring about a temporary economic pain. His musings on budget cuts and trade tariffs sent shivers down the spines of investors, who now tread cautiously, as if walking on eggshells in a henhouse full of roosters. 🐓
Some investors, in their infinite wisdom, have drawn comparisons to the draconian anti-inflation measures of the former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker in the 1980s. While Volcker’s policies eventually led to stability and growth, they initially wreaked havoc upon the markets, much like a bull in a china shop. 🐂
Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX, has issued a dire warning: Bitcoin may very well plunge even lower, perhaps to the dreaded $78,000 mark. He pointed out that many Bitcoin options are priced between $70,000 and $75,000, which could unleash a storm of volatility should prices venture into that treacherous territory.
An ugly start to the week. Looks like $BTC will retest $78k. If it fails, $75k is next in the crosshairs. There are a lot of options OI struck $70-$75k, if we get into that range it will be violent.

Now, traders, those ever-watchful hawks, are keeping a keen eye on key economic reports this week, including the U.S. Consumer Price Index on March 12 and the Producer Price Index on March 13. These events could very well dictate Bitcoin’s next move, as if it were a puppet dancing on the strings of fate. 🎭
