According to a Bitfinex Alpha report cited by Odaily, Bitcoin's upward momentum in early March lost steam after briefly reaching $74,047. A strong buying surge occurred in early March, but was subsequently absorbed by passive supply near the upper end of the range. Retail investors continue to sell, while whales and long-term holders continue to accumulate Bitcoin. Downward pressure has eased, and the market is in a state of equilibrium. However, without sustained ETF inflows or stronger spot demand, Bitcoin will remain in a consolidation phase until the $72,000 resistance level is decisively broken.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Binance founder CZ stated in an article published on the X platform that AI agents will make millions of times more payments than humans in the future, and these payments will be settled in cryptocurrency.
