Federal Reserve official Logan has expressed support for the decision to maintain interest rates at the recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. According to Jin10, Logan emphasized the importance of assessing economic conditions before making any changes to the current monetary policy. The decision to keep rates unchanged reflects the Fed's cautious approach amid ongoing economic uncertainties. Logan's stance aligns with the broader consensus within the Fed to monitor inflation and employment data closely before considering any rate adjustments.

On-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant stated that Bitcoin demand remains in a "deep contraction" phase, with apparent demand decreasing by approximately 63,000 BTC in the 30 days leading up to the end of March, indicating that selling pressure still outweighs buying pressure. Although both ETFs and Michael Saylor's Strategy increased their buying, it was insufficient to alleviate overall pressure. ETFs saw 30-day buying of approximately 50,000 BTC, the highest since October 2025; Strategy's 30-day cumulative buying remained around 44,000 BTC. CryptoQuant pointed out that large holders ("whales" with 1,000–10,000 BTC) have turned net sellers, reducing their holdings by 188,000 BTC over the past year, confirming continued structural selling pressure. Mid-sized holders (the "dolphins" with 100–1,000 BTC) are still accumulating, but at a significantly slower pace, dropping from nearly 1 million BTC in October 2025 to 429,000 BTC. Furthermore, demand from US investors has weakened recently, with the Coinbase premium mostly negative, indicating that retail investors have not yet entered the market on a large scale. CryptoQuant suggests that if the macroeconomic environment improves, especially with a de-escalation of the US-Iran conflict, Bitcoin could rebound in the short term to the $71,500–$81,200 range, with $71,500 as initial resistance and $81,200 as the upper limit of the bear market rebound.

A recent online poll conducted among 50 participants indicates a strong preference for the US dollar over BRICS currencies for trading, holding, and investment purposes. According to NS3.AI, 47 respondents expressed their inclination towards the US dollar, while only three participants favored BRICS currencies as a means to bolster local economies. This survey highlights the continued dominance of the US dollar in global financial activities.

Bitcoin demand continues to be weak, according to Foresight News. On-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant reports that despite ongoing purchases by some institutional buyers, the apparent 30-day demand growth for Bitcoin was approximately -63,000 BTC as of late March. This indicates that selling pressure in the market remains stronger than buying pressure. CryptoQuant suggests that easing geopolitical tensions could serve as a short-term positive catalyst, potentially triggering a rebound with a target at the lower boundary of $71,500. If buying momentum increases, the next significant resistance level is the Trader Realized Price, around $81,200, which was a stopping point during the bear market rebound in January 2026.

A prominent meme coin investor, Murad, has reported substantial unrealized losses of nearly $60 million over the past nine months. According to BlockBeats, despite these losses, Murad remains optimistic about a rebound and has not exited his positions. He currently holds approximately 29.964 million SPX6900 tokens, valued at around $7.79 million, which constitutes 96% of his total tracked investment portfolio of about $8.1 million. Last July, the portfolio peaked at approximately $67 million, but has since declined by over 80%, resulting in the significant unrealized losses. Murad stated on Wednesday via X that he anticipates the market capitalization of SPX6900 to increase from its current $250 million to $1 trillion, a rise of nearly 400,000%. He noted that Bitcoin is currently the only cryptocurrency to have surpassed a $1 trillion market cap. From a technical perspective, SPX6900 is breaking down from an ascending wedge pattern on the three-day chart, having fallen below the wedge's lower support level of approximately $0.26. It is also trading below the 20, 50, and 100-period exponential moving averages, indicating weak momentum. If the decline continues, the pattern's measured target points to around $0.205, a further drop of about 20%, which could result in an additional loss of approximately $1.56 million for Murad's meme coin portfolio.

According to a recent analysis by Glassnode, long-term Bitcoin holders currently control approximately 80% of the cryptocurrency's supply. This figure is slightly below the roughly 85% level observed near the bottoms of previous bear markets. The analysis suggests that Bitcoin may be approaching a market bottom. However, it also indicates that several more months of sideways consolidation might be necessary before any significant market movement occurs.

Grayscale has observed that ongoing tensions in the Middle East, coupled with rising oil prices, have led investors to adopt a cautious approach. According to NS3.AI, despite the stablecoin supply increasing significantly from approximately $20 billion in 2020 to about $3.15 trillion by 2025, the current geopolitical and economic climate has prompted a wait-and-see stance among market participants. Grayscale suggests that the market could shift back to a more favorable environment if geopolitical tensions ease and energy prices decline.

Dallas Federal Reserve President Logan outlined the path and options for the Fed to shrink its balance sheet on Thursday, noting that the current system is functioning well and benefits overall financial stability. Logan stated that the Fed's current system for managing financial liquidity is designed to provide "ample" levels of reserves, and that the system is "efficient and effective." However, there are several ways to help reduce the Fed's holdings under the current system, many of which involve rules governing financial institutions' management of cash reserves. Recent internal and external research by the Fed indicates that by adjusting regulations to encourage banks to hold lower levels of reserves, the Fed could further shrink its balance sheet under the current system. Logan agreed, stating that the Fed is currently working to make reserve management "more efficient" during periods of stress. She also stated that some liquidity rules, while increasing reserves, have not improved safety because banks are reluctant to use these reserves during crises. "This is an inefficient use of the Fed's balance sheet, and we can completely avoid this," she said. (Jinshi)
