Bitcoin blasts back over $73k

[Webetcoins]

I'm disappointed by the current BTC price pump. I want the bear market to continue and the BTC price to keep going down.

I do not know if you are serious or just joking, but this is really what I want.

I would prefer a prolonged bear market and Bitcoin dropping more than 70%, like in previous cycles. Because I have thoroughly prepared for it, and as we all know, the cheaper we buy bitcoin, the greater the profit we will receive in the future

I have not yet bought the amount of bitcoin I have targeted, so it would be quite disappointing if the bear market ended at this point.

Don't worry, that will happen. It's already 5k+ down from the peak of recent period, so it is showing how it is not doing that well already, like it's failing to keep going up and instead crashing down. And not only that, I am sure that it will continue to go down even more. I get that it may not be easy to accept that but it is going to happen.

The problem with bitcoin purchases right now is that people think bear market is over, but it's really not over and we are going to keep seeing even more.

I truly hope what you say will come true. But to be fair, there is no guarantee that bitcoin will fall any further and hit a new low. Bitcoin is very unpredictable, and the opposite is entirely possible. We shoulnt make overly confident statements when there are no guarantees in reality.

Don't be overconfident and assume that Bitcoin will definitely fall further in price, leading to missing out on buying opportunities. Instead, I recommend using the DCA strategy. That way, you wont miss out on the market if BTC suddenly reverses direction.

Following the crypto winter playbook, Bitcoin needs to drop below $60K—the current mining production cost—before a real bull market can begin. Until then, these bounces should be treated as nothing more than fakeouts

[summonerrk]

Bitcoin has had a strong technical and psychological victory as you can all see right now that the price of Bitcoin has recovered to $73,000.

To be honest, the fourth of March is the most bullish sign since the start of 2026,Because the price of this currency has increased by more than 8% in the last 24 hours, this is, in a word, a very positive aspect for us. Seeing this increase in the price of Bitcoin, I can now say that the bear may not be able to believe his eyes,Because this currency is now growing rapidly and the market candles are upward and green in color.

By the way, is this your time to take profit, Or is it time to hold more long-term with caution and buy regularly.

After the price reached the level of 73k, or rather even 74k, the price of Bitcoin flew down as much as 65.600, and is now growing again from this level. As for the prospects, it is clear that the price is locked in the corridor until at least something is clear about the global situation. Traders are clearly concerned about fears of an escalation of the war, as well as expressing disappointment at the lack of progress in the adoption of the Clarity Act.
Historically, extreme short sales increase the likelihood of a cryptocurrency rebound due to potential liquidations of short positions, which provide momentum whenever prices break through resistance levels.

It's not always like that, sir, bitcoin can still stay above $60k and still follow a cyclical pattern which will reduce fluctuations, which are usually more than 50%, now it can be lower because with the large number of institutional and widespread adoptions in general, including the existence of ETFs, showing great interest in bitcoin, this doesn't have to be something where we have to experience a decline more than the previous cycle.

But it really depends on the impact of the current global economy, if it doesn't have further implications it's still safe.

The sign of the bullishness in the market is not yet clear enough to think that the market is going all bullish now. We still need to see the market having some kind of change in behavior for the long term before we assume that the market trend has changed. This is the time to actually stay steadfast in your investment and not fall for any form of FOMO. Bitcoin investment is for the long term and not for the short term after investing. As long as the market is yet to break $100K, I don’t think we are in the bullish phase yet. So anytime we see the market facing some bearish trend, it is a very good time to invest more.

[STT]

80k is the pivotal point.  If you want a simple measure of strength then go with 50 day moving average.  We need to see a regular positive incline in the 50 day, at present it’s declining.

Get above 50 day & get it positive trending , add in the same for 200 day average then you have a quite positive conclusion.  Also don’t be surprised if this process takes this entire year possibly much longer.

We just came from that point. And to expect that it will have to go through a quick bearish point, I don't think that we'll this point too early. While there are some recoveries that have been seen like the last time, today it reached $71k. But these are like the choke points that we'll see it as a trap. Whoever gets to play this market through manipulation from the whales and taking the turn from the global scene that we're having like the war, they know how to take quick profits while us and everyone is thinking if the bearish has ended too quickly but no.

This is important to take Bitcoin up. If we look at a good price of Bitcoin it is 98,000$, which is its rejection zone price. We don’t need to look at it that way because if we are investing on a large scale, then we will have to create this sentiment, but we still have to see in what way Bitcoin can be seen as good and positive. The price of Bitcoin has fallen by $500 we will continue to see it like this and it is included in it, but at the same time we have to see its price increase which is quite low at the moment. If you don’t put too much pressure on Bitcoin we would be at a better price than anything else right now or maybe we would be moving towards a new price. If you look at this entire year, these are the few months that are not allowing Bitcoin to go up, so the last months of last year were also not in favor of Bitcoin improvement.

Right now, Bitcoin is stuck in 'no man's land,' just as it was a month ago. This sideways action within a $\pm$ $5K range suggests that there’s zero retail interest; it’s only staying afloat thanks to institutional players. However, the moment we see today’s US inflation data, any sign of acceleration will likely turn this boring sideways trend into a massive sell-off.

Hmm, I don't if only institutional players are keeping it afloat. I'm still under the impression that retail investor is getting smarter by every cycle as they have seen how big it could be in the bull-run and how much money they can profit.

But everything starts during the bearish season as this is the accumulation phase for us. Maybe it's just small as obviously most of us are average joe and it is not magnified or reflect in the market for now.

March 4 was the date when Bitcoin reached $74,000, but it didn't last long as it fell back below that price. Interestingly, the price surge on March 4 occurred amid tensions in the Middle East and while other markets were experiencing price declines.
But don't worry, the Bitcoin market is poised to return to that price now, as it is above $70,000 within 24 hours.

If you want to take advantage of this, I’ll leave it up to those who wish to do so. What’s certain is that those who bought at much higher prices don’t want to sell.

It is possible bitcoin price may still even go dip. The increase in the price of Bitcoin doesn't mean we are in the bull market or the price of Bitcoin will continue to increase.  Their are possibilities that bitcoin will still even go dip, so it is important for people to prepare their mind and to know anything can happen. 

If bitcoin price go dip,  i think then it is a good opportunity to buy more Bitcoin and if the price of Bitcoin is increasing is to have the courage and patience to continue hodling Bitcoin,  till one is able to accumulate more Bitcoin that is even more than enough.

These two things could be factors why bitcoin can survive if you think about it, the growth of institutional investors that continues to increase and also the ability of retail which has begun to understand to prioritize bitcoin has made bitcoin survive until now, this is because last season the altcoin season did not come which could have changed the retail mindset to focus back on bitcoin as the main investment asset, and once again the war has not had the impact of fear as before, they prefer to accumulate slowly so that this shows the fundamental growth of trust in bitcoin.

Do you ever think we are going to be seeing such further deep in the market, bitcoin is in recovery phase right now and the worst day's are gone already which means that expecting bitcoin to dip blow $60k as you speculate may not happen at least it now may be if their ever be another bear market that beat the current bitcoin cycle to get us to that low benchmark market price.

We are going to be seeing 70k as the resistance for this period is bitcoin make it back there again to that price just as we saw last week when bitcoin recover to $73k.

It isn't a proper time for talking about the bullish sign. We just started the bearish market. This won't end up just in few weeks or months. This probably lasts for 2 years.

80k is the pivotal point.  If you want a simple measure of strength then go with 50 day moving avrage. .  We need to see an incline in the 50 day, at present it’s decling.

Agree. $80k seems to be a crucial point. If BTC price can return to that price and maintain it for few weeks, we can ensure that we are gradually leaving the bearish season.

Get above 50 day get it positive trending , add in the same for 200 day average then you have a quite positive conclusion.  Also don’t be surprised if this process takes this entire year possibly much longer.

Sure, this may last until the early of the next year. Currently, we still tend to the downtrend. Considering the price movement in 50 days, it is very clear that we are in the bearish market. This probably lasts for the next 2 years if we consider the previous cycles.

[STT]

Unfortunately its not blast off currently, it needs to clear 71454 to qualify as moving upwards even gradually; this is a prior weeks high just being nearby isnt going to be enough.  Its contained until we can observe these basic movements, there's enough sellers to satisfy demand.  

  For now all we can say is volume at this area is being traded and there is the idea of future support at these prices.  So far as I can tell, current volume even cumulatively does not exceed prior selling.  Not an absolute negative but would seem to indicate any stable or sustained breakout upwards is going to need more.

Yes we did see Bitcoin bullish for a while and then it didn't get stronger permanently. But currently Bitcoin price is hovering around 69k, though repeatedly touching 70k. This suggests that Bitcoin will not go down much. If profit is to be considered at this time, one should think long term. Because those who are already holding, they should not look for quick profit. Bitcoin will go higher very quickly and once you take the profit you will have to invest more money later.Which is not positive for an entertainer.

As much as I like to disagree on this considering I still hold my bitcoin and keep accumulating, it's actually true.
If anybody is on the market long enough they would know that there will only be fakeouts until we hit major support and regaining strength with all the liquidations.

As for now, I don't expect much. Good to see it bounces but don't really mean much in the long term.

Nobody can stop the market from going down as we are in the bear. So we really don't like and feel what we are seeing, but on the contrary, just like what you have said, it's better to keep on accumulating Bitcoin and not be concern of the intricacies of technicals.

As for now, I don't expect much. Good to see it bounces but don't really mean much in the long term.

That's what I'm trying to say, it's better not to involved our emotions if we are looking at the bigger picture. It might take ~2 years to so that Bitcoin will bounce back and then all our sacrifices of accumulating will be rewarded later.
