Bitcoin Can't Hold $70K. Here are Next Levels to Watch. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

☕️ GM! Here are the most important events in #Crypto over the last 24 hours: 🌟Bitcoin Highlights: 🔸 $BTC dropped from $74,000 to ~$70,900 after the Fed held rates at 3.50–3.75% yesterday, continuing the sell-the-news pattern — BTC has now fallen after 8 of the last 9 #FOMC meetings. The dot plot still projects one cut in 2026, but 7 of 19 members now see zero cuts this year. 🔸 Spot Bitcoin ETFs extended their inflow streak with $177.8M on March 17. BlackRock's IBIT led with $159M. The 5-day streak brought in over $900M total, even as BTC sold off post-FOMC. 🔸 Strategy added 22,337 BTC (~$1.57B) between March 9–15, its biggest buy of 2026. The firm now holds ~761,000 BTC worth roughly $54B, with an average cost near $76,700/BTC. 🔸 Macro backdrop: gold at $4,828/oz, Brent crude surged to $113.54/bbl. Powell warned that Middle East energy disruptions could push inflation higher, with PCE forecasts raised to 2.7% for 2026. 📊Altcoin Updates: 🔸 S&P Dow Jones Indices licensed the S&P 500 to trade[XYZ] for the first-ever officially licensed S&P 500 perpetual contract on #Hyperliquid — the first time a major index benchmark has launched as a perp on a decentralized platform. 24/7 onchain leveraged exposure for eligible non-US investors. 🔸 The SEC/CFTC's landmark crypto taxonomy from March 17 continues to ripple: 16 tokens classified as digital commodities (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, LINK, AVAX among them). Legal analysts say the 68-page interpretive release is the most significant U.S. crypto regulatory action in years. #SEC 🔸 Arizona filed the first-ever criminal charges against prediction market Kalshi, accusing it of operating illegal gambling — 20 misdemeanor counts for accepting unlicensed bets. A federal judge rejected Kalshi's attempt to move the case to federal court. 🔸 BlackRock's staked ETH ETF (ETHB) saw its NAV drop 6.09% on FOMC day to $28.16. The fund, which launched March 12 staking up to 95% of holdings at ~3.1% APR, had pulled in $155M in its first 24 hours. 🔸 Fear & Greed plunged to 23 (Extreme Fear) from 26 yesterday, the lowest reading since mid-February. Post-FOMC selling and oil-driven inflation fears are weighing heavily on sentiment. 🔸 Hyperliquid's total open interest hit $1.43B, driven primarily by oil perps — WTI daily volume topped $1.2B. HYPE token gained 23% over the last month and is up 185% year-over-year as the platform cements its lead in onchain RWA derivatives. #DeFi

Prepare for a volatile week in Bitcoin: 8 straight days of gains while fear & greed is still low. But this week is loaded: FOMC + dot plot, Basel III bank rule vote, quadruple witching, and crypto options expiry all converging. This video breaks it down: 2:24 Price Action and Key Resistance Levels 5:42 Technical Setup: 200-Day SMA and 50-Week SMA 6:24 Short-Term Resistance at $75K 6:55 Quadruple Witching, March 20th Volatility 8:31 Bitcoin and Ethereum Options Expiry 11:17 What This Means for Price Action 12:40 Basel III, New Bank Rules for Crypto 16:27 Iran War and Oil Above $100 20:03 China-Taiwan Escalation 23:28 Serbia and Global Risks 24:06 Market Implications and Trading Levels 27:57 Weekly Outlook and Risk Summary

14/x My approach this week: ✅ No new positions. This is a wait-and-see week. ✅ The time to buy was in the $60Ks. Up here at $74K it's a no-trade zone. ✅ If it dumps back into the range, I buy the range lows again. ✅ If it breaks out above $75K and holds, I wait for a retest at $75K to enter. ✅ Both paths require patience right now.

13/x Scenario B: Rejection (higher probability) $BTC gets rejected at $75K resistance. Post-expiry volatility dumps price back into the $63-70K range. S&P breaks below the 200-day SMA. Oil spikes. Then we're back in bear market chop. Possibly for months. And the $58K / $43K scenarios come back into play.

🚨 This Could Be the Most Volatile Week in Bitcoin All Year 🚨 $BTC just hit $74K for the first time since February. Fear & Greed Index is at 14. Deep in extreme fear. FOMC decision tomorrow. Basel 3 vote this week. Quadruple witching Friday. Oil still above $100. All of this hits in the next 4 days. Here's what to watch 🧵👇
