Altcoins have endured a prolonged structural decline since the peak of the 2021 bull cycle. While Bitcoin has managed to preserve portions of its macro uptrend, most alternative tokens have printed persistent lower highs and lower lows across multiple timeframes. For many projects, what began as a cyclical correction has evolved into a multi-year erosion of capital, liquidity, and investor confidence. Related Reading: Bloodbath Or Buy-Zone?

War is burning across the Middle East. Oil prices are climbing. Stock markets in Asia have taken a hit. And yet, Bitcoin is still standing above $66,000 — a fact that has caught the attention of analysts keeping a close eye on the market. Related Reading: Crypto’s Quietest Month In Nearly A Year — But Hackers Haven’t Gone Away Calm Where There Should Be Panic The group most closely watched during moments of market stress is what analysts call short-term holders — people who bought Bitcoin recently and are most likely to sell fast when things go wrong. Based on reports from on-chain data platform CryptoQuant, that group has stayed unusually quiet. When Bitcoin slipped into the $63,000 to $64,000 range on Feb. 28, exchange inflows from recent buyers barely moved. No ma...
Bitcoin To $11 Million By 2036? This AI-Deflation Thesis Is Turning Heads

Joe Burnett, VP of Bitcoin Strategy at Strive (Nasdaq: ASST), is arguing that bitcoin could reach $11 million by the first quarter of 2036, not because it replaces the financial system, but because it becomes the dominant long-duration savings asset in an economy reshaped by AI-led deflation and repeated monetary expansion. His thesis, laid out in a March 2 Substack note, frames bitcoin less as a speculative trade and more as the asset most likely to absorb excess liquidity in a world of falling production costs and chronic policy intervention. Burnett’s base case implies a bitcoin network value of roughly $230 trillion by 2036. He sets that against a global financial asset base that he estimates could grow from more than $1 quadrillion today to about $1.97 quadrilli...

The Bitcoin market appears to be entering a decisive holding phase, with on-chain data signaling a steady contraction in active supply. Rather than aggressive selling or speculative rotation, a growing portion of circulating BTC is moving into long-term storage, reducing the amount readily available for trading. This tightening liquidity dynamic reflects rising investor conviction, as holders choose accumulation over distribution. How Volatility Compression Tightens Bitcoin’s Range In a recent post on X, Joao Wedson, the founder and CEO of Alphractal, noted that the Bitcoin 30-Day active supply has dropped sharply in recent weeks, which is a clear signal that fewer BTC have moved across the network over the past month. Due to this BTC drop, active participation has ...

Recent market dynamics, most especially the launch of Spot Dogecoin ETFs, have seen Dogecoin slowly transitioning out of its meme coin status. Notably, a crypto pundit on X is of the notion that the transition is now at a tipping point. According to the pundit, there are three major reasons as to how Dogecoin could transition from a speculative asset into something far more functional as real money. If this plays out, the analyst believes Dogecoin’s price could rise from around $0.30 to $1.20 in a short time. Network Activation Through X Dogecoin has always been linked as a possible payment method on the social media platform X, and this is mostly due to Elon Musk’s public support for the cryptocurrency and his ambition to turn X into a combined financial and social...
