BTC Sentiment Poll for March

[Bitcoin_people]

March was not bad, still not great but not bad, it did not go down as much as previous months at least, and we are going to see it probably start going back down soon enough, we just need to make sure we can do better on the long run. For that reason we have to watch it carefully, just because it did not go down this month, doesn't mean that the bear is gone forever, it could be right around the corner and we could even see it go down sooner than you think, and that's why we need to be very careful and not be too forward with our investments.

The recent crash from around $75k to below $70k is about to spoil all the gains made by Bitcoin this month of March. My expectations was a little raised this month especially when Bitcoin surged above $70k but it seems that the rate decision might have caused the sharp reversal we saw and the crash is seen even in gold and other commodities except energies. The month can still be a positive one for Bitcoin, the opportunity is still there.

The price of Bitcoin gave a lot of good signals in early March, especially when it exceeded $75k. However, currently we can see that the price of Bitcoin has moved above $70k and slightly below, which is ruining our expectations. Many thought that by the end of March, the price of Bitcoin would enter a higher level and there was a possibility of exceeding $80k. Since the price of oil is already increasing in the world market and the price of gold is falling due to the war in the Middle East, there is a possibility of a fall in the price of Bitcoin. However, we did not see a major fall during this war, but rather the market is fluctuating within a certain range, so it is hoped that there will not be much fall in the Bitcoin market.

The president postponed a threat to bomb Iran’s power grid on Tuesday after he said he’d had productive talks with Iranian officials.

Iran has denied that such talks took place..[/i]

I think this happened like 3 times already. Trump announces some sort of positive breakthrough in negotiations - Iran announces they don't have a clue what he is talking about.
I'm not sure if this is some sort of 5D chess, or if one of the sides (likely Trump) is just taking a piss. Or maybe this is some desperate attempt to calm the markets down - if so, it's working.
It's also possible that it's Iran that engages in negotiations, but tries to appear tough and uncompromising in front of their nation, to not allow for defetist mood, but I think this is much less likely than Trump making the stuff up.

I think this is just a tactic in modern warfare, where media is also a strategic weapon

This is most likely a propaganda and face saving strategy for both side. Trump is most likely trying to save face because they are a superpower. Besides that as you mentioned, it was also an attempt to calm the market.

Meanwhile, Iran also does not want to be seen as weak and does not want to beg. Let's not forget that their conservative faction, IRGC, is very aggressive and willing to fight to the bitter end. Therefore, it is not surprising that they issued such a strong statement.

Thats very likely it, the pressure of the information itself is a process of negotiation.
   I still remember the minister of information in the Iraq war and that whole collapse of the regime was fairly clear cut yet every day they would have a new story about a farmer with a shotgun shot down an apache helicopter or the US army had fled like dogs from the bravery of Saddam's personal guard, went on for ages.
  They caught that guy and let him, his job was telling lies but so goes the public news game on both sides.

The most destructive element here is the dollar disruption from lack of oil revenue, that backing to the dollar is actually needed for its continued strength.  This does not bode well as its a global currency as is the trade in oil and gas so losing that major component is fairly significant.   Hence BTC has largely gone unaffected during this war though its also fallen previously I feel dollar is struggling is reflected in likely better BTC prospects.

It's because they are not directly talking about thru meditation in which Pakistan is the power broker. So technically, Iran is not talking with the US. So in any case, it's either one of them are lying in their teeth or doesn't want to acknowledge that such talks are happening. So yeah, probably they like to play chess and psyche war as well and see who will have the advantage. But most countries are now suffering as their gas supply are depleting and they can't sustain not having oil in their reserves and for sure that country will suffer in the dark and there could be blackouts in that region. That's the sad part of this war, collateral damage as the country that are poor and doesn't have any oil reserves.

As we approach the end of March, the price has remained fairly flat—in other words, it’s neither here nor there. It seems that the rise that occurred at the start of the conflict has been losing steam.

It’s already the third month of the year, and we’re down 24%. Everything points to this being a bear market year, and with each passing month, it looks more and more like it.

I said red while most people said green, and I am still not that much wrong. We still have some time to see, maybe I will be right or maybe I will be wrong but I think it's doing fine right now. I think it's quite important to realize that we are going to do fine on the long run.

Start of this month we were at like 67k or something, now we are somehow up again, but we were close to that very recently, so it goes up and down, not sure what's going to end up with, we still have less than a week to go.

Funding rates are rising causing leveraged longs to be squeezed out of their positions. That can wind up causing cascading declines in price like we have already begun seeing. The market is hanging by Saylor’s STRC offering right now and I’m not sure how much demand there is left for that.

I would tend to say bitcoin is around the compression point but got to wait a bit longer for it to play out.
I'm guessing we might even see a longer period around the 70-90k mark as a level going forward over a longer period of time.

Not to say a sudden reversal could not be on the cards and it be a very large "v-shape" recovery, so to speak.

Interesting times.

Hhmm.. compression point huh. That term is new on me though. But as per the root word compress, it means to lower it down, right? Though I agree that for it to occur is it can take a long time because we are actually on our way now for recovery. And when this war between Iran and US ends (which I think not going to take long), more gains are going to be felt by Bitcoin. As of now, Bitcoin is at $66k+ still but with what is said earlier, the stability times like this is going to be a myth at least for a while in the latter stages.
