- Tether’s market cap surged by $5.75 billion in 60 days, exceeding its moving average and signaling increased market liquidity.
- On-chain activity in Tether hit record levels, with over 143,000 wallets making transactions on March 11, hinting at rising demand.
- Despite liquidity growth, large Bitcoin holders have sold over 50,600 BTC, adding short-term volatility to the market’s price action.
The current Bitcoin market performance shows signs of improvement as stablecoin liquidity is increasing. The Tether’s (USDT) market capitalization increased by $5.75 billion since the start of February and crossed its 60-day moving average of $3.46 billion according to CryptoQuant’s March 13 report.
Between January and March, the stablecoin market experienced an 11% growth expansion since it started at $203.9 billion and finished at $226.1 billion.
The on-chain activity of Tether increased dramatically when 143,000 wallets conducted transfers during March 11. Stablecoin liquidity is penetrating the crypto market according to historical trends, which often trigger price recoveries. The analysis from Santiment suggests that every time stablecoin transactions escalated throughout previous market dips it briefly initiated conditions where traders could profit from market rebounds.
The liquidity has increased but Bitcoin continues to face challenges. Bitcoin has lost approximately 30% of its value since January when it reached its peak price of $109,000 and reached $81,712 when this paper was written. The increased supply of stablecoins could work toward stabilizing Bitcoin prices and aiding its market recovery according to market analysts.
Bitcoin Approaches Oversold Territory
CryptoQuant demonstrated in their March 12 report that Bitcoin might reach oversold thresholds. The market has shown price recovery trends after reaching this level throughout its history.
The Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio now stands at 1.8 which indicates Bitcoin is in a near-ideal position like its 2024 low point of 1.71. Bitcoin could enter a self-sustaining upward trend when its value reaches prices near $70,000 because this range matches past market lows.
Large Holders Reduce Bitcoin Holdings
Market sentiment shows signs of weakness because of present economic conditions. Research from Santiment shows that Bitcoin wallets possessing 100 to 1,000 BTC units sold more than 50,600 BTC during the last seven days at a total worth reaching $4.07 billion. Short-term market uncertainty worsens because of selling pressure in the market.
Bitcoin network growth persists steadily because the holder count stays close to its peak of 54.72 million. Bitcoin maintains elevated adoption levels and investor interest even though selling has occurred within the market. The cryptocurrency demonstrates powerful features between absorbing selling pressure and achieving rising liquidity that determine its forthcoming price behavior.
