On March 18, on-chain data analyst Axel released a report indicating that the overheating in the Bitcoin market has been completely eliminated, yet selling pressure remains unrelieved, with no clear reversal signals in sight. According to BlockBeats, the report reveals that the MVRV Z-Score, a measure of Bitcoin's valuation overheating, has dropped 74% from its cycle peak of 2.603 in October 2025 to 0.674, significantly below the average of 1.72 and the first standard deviation band of 3.55, confirming the removal of the valuation bubble. The current range of 0.5-1.0 corresponds to a cycle-neutral zone, with the market value only moderately exceeding the realized market value. However, the aSOPR (7-day moving average), which reflects the profitability of market participants, has remained below 1.0 for 55 consecutive trading days, with the latest value at 0.9926, indicating continued loss-making sales in the market. Since January 21, 2026, when it last surpassed the 1.0 threshold, this indicator has consistently failed to return to the profitable sales range. Axel emphasizes that 1.0 is the critical dividing line between loss-making and profitable sales patterns. Until the aSOPR can remain above 1.0 for several consecutive trading days, any rebound may face selling pressure. The current key issue in the market is not whether Bitcoin is cheap, but whether the selling pressure has been exhausted, and for now, the answer remains negative.

According to Jin10, Neuhart suggests that it is challenging to predict, but anticipates that the median will continue to indicate only one rate cut for the remainder of the year.

Russell Investments' Senior Investment Strategist, BeiChen Lin, has expressed confidence in the stability of the U.S. economic fundamentals. According to Jin10, Lin suggests that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to lower interest rates in the near future, with the possibility of only one rate cut in the latter half of this year, or potentially none until 2027. Despite potential temporary inflationary pressures from energy prices, Lin notes that a balanced labor market and controlled housing inflation are likely to limit inflationary growth. Consequently, the likelihood of a rate hike this year appears low. The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain current interest rates, and any indications from Chairman Jerome Powell regarding future rate paths will be crucial.

Bitcoin experienced a slight decline on March 18, according to BlockBeats. Data from Coinglass indicates that the funding rates on major centralized and decentralized exchanges reflect a broadly bearish market sentiment. Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain a balance between contract prices and the prices of the underlying assets, typically applied to perpetual contracts. This mechanism facilitates the exchange of funds between long and short traders, without the trading platform collecting these fees. It adjusts the cost or profit of holding contracts to keep contract prices aligned with the underlying asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% is considered the baseline. When the rate exceeds 0.01%, it indicates a generally bullish market sentiment. Conversely, a rate below 0.005% suggests a bearish outlook.
