Dogecoin: DOGE ETFs absorb 0.07% of supply – Identifying reasons for fading demand

Dogecoin (DOGE) has seen a 3.80% price increase in the past 24 hours, maintaining its leading market cap position in the memecoin sector. However, institutional demand for DOGE is fading, with U.S. spot ETFs recording less than $1 million in inflows in March 2026. These ETFs have absorbed only 0.07% of DOGE's circulating supply. While Grayscale’s and 21Shares’ products saw modest inflows, Bitwise’s ETF experienced outflows. In contrast, whale activity is increasing, with large orders in both spot and futures markets driving bullish sentiment. On the technical side, DOGE shows signs of a potential trend reversal, breaking out of an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern and eyeing a move toward $0.12 if it surpasses the $0.104 resistance level. Its high correlation with Bitcoin (0.94) suggests its price movement remains tied to BTC’s performance.

NYDIG Breaks Down The Bitcoin Flywheel Behind Strategy’s STRC Surge

NYDIG analyzes the surge in Strategy's STRC issuance, framing it not as traditional debt but as a bitcoin-backed liability system dependent on capital markets and investor confidence. The firm notes that Strategy issued $1.2 billion in STRC recently, bringing its total preferred equity stack to over $10 billion. These securities are actively managed to trade near par through dividends and signaling, not serviced by cash flow. The structure creates a "flywheel" where capital raises fund bitcoin purchases, strengthening the balance sheet and sustaining confidence—as long as markets remain open and assets trade above NAV. A decline in bitcoin or loss of confidence could stall the system without triggering insolvency, shifting adjustment to the preferred layer.

Is Ethereum cheaper in the U.S? Demand is starting to fade and…

Ethereum's current stability may be misleading, as underlying demand, particularly from U.S. investors, is weakening. The Coinbase Premium Index remains negative, indicating ETH is trading cheaper on Coinbase compared to Binance due to lower buying pressure or increased selling in the U.S. This persistent discount exists even during brief price recoveries, suggesting weak sentiment among American investors. While large players (whales) remain active with consistently high average order sizes dominating spot activity, retail participation is notably absent. This one-sided market structure, reliant on whales without broader retail support, lacks staying power and makes any price upside fragile. Technically, Ethereum is holding above $2,100 but appears shaky. The RSI is neutral, while the MACD is flat, signaling a loss of momentum in its recent push. Derivatives data align with this caution: Open Interest has declined from earlier highs, indicating traders are stepping back, and Funding Rates, while positive, show a lack of aggressive long positioning.

Chainlink demand surges as withdrawals reach 2 mln LINK: Will this boost price?

Chainlink (LINK) is experiencing a surge in investor demand, with over 2.046 million tokens withdrawn from exchange reserves in the past month, signaling potential accumulation and a bullish sentiment. Despite a modest monthly gain of 3.75%, LINK saw a 7.15% price increase in 24 hours, trading at $9.20, accompanied by a 65% surge in trading volume to $952.83 million. Analytics data indicates long-term holder interest, with exchange reserves dropping significantly. Derivatives data shows traders favoring long positions, with bulls dominating. Technically, LINK is moving within an ascending channel pattern. After a recent dip to the lower boundary, a bullish engulfing candle suggests a potential reversal. If LINK holds above $8.576, a 10% rise to $10.08 is possible, with further upside toward $11.20 if key resistance is broken. The RSI at 52.03 indicates growing buying interest and a shift toward bullish territory.

Ethena sees $4 mln whale move as supply tightens – Is ENA’s rebound forming?

A significant $4.07 million ENA withdrawal from Binance aligns with ongoing exchange outflows and rising buyer activity, indicating a tightening supply structure. Despite this, ENA’s price remains subdued, trading within the $0.089–$0.10 demand zone, which has absorbed selling pressure. The broader structure remains bearish below the $0.262 resistance level. However, Spot Taker data shows increasing buyer dominance, suggesting accumulation is occurring. A liquidation cluster between $0.095–$0.101 presents a near-term liquidity target that could trigger upward momentum if breached. For a sustained rebound, ENA must reclaim $0.262 to shift market structure and target higher resistances.

Bitcoin Miner Selling Hits Historic Lows As MPI Signals Structural Shift

Bitcoin has fallen below the $70,000 mark amid renewed selling pressure and weakening short-term momentum. However, on-chain data reveals a significant structural shift: the Miners’ Position Index (MPI) has dropped to -1.04, one of the lowest levels in history. This indicates miners are selling far fewer coins than their one-year average, effectively reducing a major source of market supply. While this is typically a bullish signal—suggesting accumulation or anticipation of higher prices—it does not guarantee a price bottom. Historically, extreme MPI lows occur during periods of miner stress or post-capitulation, but absolute price bottoms tend to form as MPI begins recovering, not at its lowest point. Reduced miner selling removes a headwind, but sustained upward movement requires increased demand from spot buyers, ETFs, or derivatives.

Bitcoin’s 2026 prediction: What’s ahead for BTC as fear grips global markets?

The article analyzes Bitcoin's market dynamics amid global economic uncertainty, noting that macroeconomic pressures have driven fear across crypto and equity markets. Despite a recent rally from $64k lows, Bitcoin faces significant headwinds. A Polymarket prediction suggested a crash below $45k was more likely than a $100k recovery, though the article argues this overlooks institutional buy support at $55k. Key metrics indicate strong profit-taking activity, with the net realized profit/loss reaching $23.4 million per hour, suppressing price rallies. The Coinbase Premium Index turned negative, reflecting weakened U.S. investor demand. While $65k remains a critical short-term support zone, demand exhaustion and seller dominance are currently capping Bitcoin's upward potential.

Bitcoin: As supply shock meets demand gap, who drives the market now?

Bitcoin miner-to-exchange flows surged above 8,000 BTC in late January due to operational disruptions and liquidity constraints, but have since declined to around 4,300 BTC, reducing sell-side pressure. Despite this, the Coinbase Premium remains negative at -0.02, indicating weak U.S. institutional demand. Price stability near $68,600 is largely driven by offshore liquidity and derivatives markets. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s hashrate dropped significantly from 1,200 EH/s to 800 EH/s, reflecting reduced mining activity and a shift of resources toward AI compute for higher returns. Miners sold over 15,000 BTC to fund this transition, adding short-term supply pressure. The market now depends heavily on external demand, making it vulnerable to shifts in global liquidity.

Bitcoin Retail Activity Falls To Lowest Level Since January 2025 — What Next For Price?

The price of Bitcoin has declined nearly 20% in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting a sluggish market. On-chain data reveals that retail activity, defined as transactions under $10,000, has fallen to its lowest level since January 2025, indicating a significant drop in demand from small investors. According to analyst Darkfost, retail demand tends to decline during market corrections and bear markets, a pattern currently being observed. The introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs has altered market dynamics, providing regulated exposure and attracting institutional inflows, with over $52 million in net inflows recorded last week. Despite a recent 0.6% increase, Bitcoin's price remains volatile, currently trading around $70,350 after briefly reaching $75,500 earlier in the week. The lack of retail interest suggests the current correction may continue.

Why Bitcoin Price Rallied From $65,000 To $74,000 — Analyst Gives ‘Real Reason’

Bitcoin's recent rally from $65,000 to over $74,000 is attributed to significant outflows from Binance, according to a CryptoQuant analysis by Burak Kesmeci. The 30-day simple moving average of Bitcoin exchange outflows indicates that approximately $55 million worth of BTC has been leaving Binance daily, signaling strong accumulation and growing long-term investor confidence. This persistent demand, reflected in the declining netflow, has supported Bitcoin's price strength even amid global equity market declines and geopolitical tensions. At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $70,620.
