According to some analysts, the cryptocurrency market is expected to recover in March as macroeconomic conditions show signs of improvement. Bitcoin prices have seen a recovery amid the recent release of Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) data, fueling optimism that the broader economic environment will ease next month. Julien Bittel, director of macro research at Global Macro Investor, highlighted the role of financial conditions in shaping market trends: “When financial conditions tighten, liquidity decreases and economic surprises start to slow down. But the panic that has gripped the market will not last long. A reversal is likely next month.” Over the past two months, key financial indicators have shifted in favor of riskier assets. The U.S. dollar has weakened, bond yields have fallen, and oil prices have fallen, all of which have set the stage for a potential rally in the cryptocurrency market. Financial conditions are a leading indicator, Bittel said, suggesting the worst may already be priced in. “There’s a lot of noise in the market right now, conflicting news everywhere,” Bittel said. “Everything that’s happening, especially in crypto, is due to the financial tightening in the last quarter of 2024. This has led to liquidity shortages and increased concerns about a potential recession. However, financial conditions are easing rapidly and this should translate into better economic data soon.” Bitcoin, which recently dropped to around $80,000, appears to have fully absorbed the impact of the financial tightening, according to Bittel. While further downside risk is possible, he noted that sentiment is already extremely bearish, with Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) at its most oversold level since August 23, 2023. *This is not investment advice.
