Bitcoin down 25% in Q1 – Is crypto’s correction turning bearish?

Bitcoin fell 25% in Q1 2025, raising concerns that the market correction may be turning bearish. The broader financial landscape has shifted significantly due to the ongoing Iran conflict, with oil surging over 50% and Treasury yields rising 13%. In contrast, crypto’s 0.5% drop appeared muted initially, but underlying pressures are mounting. The Federal Reserve is no longer pricing in cuts until late 2027, with a 51% chance of a hike by March 2027, as rising energy prices could push CPI inflation toward 3.5%. This challenges crypto’s role as an inflation hedge. On-chain data shows panic selling, with 21,700 BTC sold at a loss in 24 hours, and the Crypto Fear & Greed Index is nearing "extreme fear." Weak institutional demand and defensive capital rotation suggest this is more than a routine pullback and could signal the beginning of a broader bear market.

Top House Democrat Questions Kansas City Fed’s Approval Of Kraken Master Account

Representative Maxine Waters, the top Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, has questioned the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's approval of a "limited purpose account" for crypto exchange Kraken. This approval grants Kraken's banking arm direct access to the Fed's payment system, a first for a cryptocurrency firm. Waters expressed concerns about the lack of transparency, potential risks to financial stability, and the adequacy of consumer protections, especially as this access was granted while Congress is still debating the terms for such expansions. She has requested detailed information on the services accessible to Kraken, the conditions applied, and the risk assessments conducted. The move has also drawn opposition from traditional banking groups, who warn it could threaten the U.S. payment system.

Will the Fed’s $8B liquidity injection create a turning point for crypto?

Given the current macro environment marked by geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices, investors are closely monitoring Federal Reserve signals. The Fed's recent $8 billion liquidity injection is drawing significant attention, as shifts in liquidity often directly impact crypto markets. Technically, crypto showed early resilience but momentum is fading, with the total market cap dropping 3.4% in a day, erasing nearly $100 billion. Rising Treasury yields and a risk-off shift are pulling capital into safe havens, reminiscent of the 2022 cycle that triggered a major crypto bear market. The Fed's intervention may provide short-term support and slow the flight to safety, potentially acting as a key catalyst in the current cycle.

‘Oil prices infect everything’ – Can Bitcoin still weather this storm?

Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are experiencing prolonged uncertainty, driven by macroeconomic pressures and heightened geopolitical tensions in West Asia. Oil prices have become a central source of volatility, influencing inflation and interest rate expectations, which in turn pressure risk assets like cryptocurrencies. Despite these challenges, Bitcoin has shown resilience, maintaining a range between $65,000 and $76,000 without significant declines since the conflict escalated. Analysts attribute this stability to the crypto market’s maturation, including the presence of spot ETFs, corporate treasury purchases, and institutional involvement. However, spot Bitcoin accumulation remains relatively low at $4.99 billion over the past 60 days, indicating tepid demand. The market’s to face headwinds, with the key risk being whether oil-driven inflation forces the Federal Reserve to maintain or raise interest rates, potentially putting further pressure on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

$635M in, $405M out – How the Fed quietly shook the crypto market

The crypto market slowed last week, with many attributing the decline to Middle East tensions. However, the primary driver was the U.S. Federal Reserve's cautious policy signals. According to CoinShares, digital asset investments saw $230 million in inflows—significantly lower than previous weeks. Notably, $635 million entered just before the Fed meeting, but $405 million exited shortly after, indicating investors are highly sensitive to interest rate expectations. Bitcoin led with $219 million in weekly inflows, though short-Bitcoin products also gained $6 million, reflecting mixed sentiment. Solana remained strong with $17 million inflows over seven weeks, while Ethereum saw $27.5 million in outflows. Chainlink and Hyperliquid attracted $9.1 million combined. Despite price declines—ETH and HYPE fell ~6.7%, BTC dropped ~4%, and SOL dipped only 2%—capital continued flowing in. User activity was highest for Chainlink, while Solana maintained steady social volume. The Altcoin Season Index read 47, below the 75 threshold for a confirmed altcoin season, but sustained inflows suggest a potential buildup toward a broader rally. Institutional behavior showed a "buy the dip" mindset rather than panic selling.

Bitcoin Trading On Binance Cools Off: Spot Volume Falls Sharply To Multi-Year Lows

Bitcoin briefly rebounded to retest $71,000, but trading activity on Binance has cooled significantly. Spot volume on the exchange has dropped sharply to multi-year lows, losing over $52 billion and marking the lowest levels since the 2023 bear market. This decline reflects reduced market participation and signals underlying weakness. The cooling activity occurs amid a tense macroeconomic backdrop, with the Fed turning more assertive, persistent inflation, and growing stagflation concerns. Despite this, institutional interest remains, as evidenced by MicroStrategy's recent purchase of an additional 1,031 BTC. Analysts note that while the short-term signal is negative, such periods often create long-term opportunities.

Overseas Funds Accelerate Withdrawal, U.S. Bonds Face Largest Selling Pressure in Six Years

Overseas official investors are accelerating their withdrawal from U.S. Treasuries, with foreign official accounts at the New York Fed shedding $75 billion over the past four weeks—the largest monthly decline since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020. According to Deutsche Bank research, this implies net sales of approximately $60 billion, marking the most significant sell-off since the pandemic began. The sell-off is particularly concentrated in the mid-term segment of the yield curve, contributing to recent rapid yield rises. Unlike in March 2023, the drawdown was not offset by increased use of the Fed’s FIMA repo facility, indicating outright sales or non-reinvestment of maturing securities. The drop in custody holdings aligns with observed FX intervention by Asian central banks and a broader slowdown in foreign purchases of dollar assets. Historical correlation suggests custody data explains about 50% of the variation in official net flows reported in TIC data. Deutsche Bank warns that sustained foreign selling could erode the “convenience yield” advantage enjoyed by U.S. debt due to its reserve currency status. Estimates suggest the 10-year yield may be suppressed by 90–100 basis points due to dollar dominance. A continued retreat of foreign demand could push long-term yields significantly higher, increasing refinancing costs and affecting global financial conditions.

March 25 Market Summary: US Submits 15-Point Ceasefire Plan, Oil Prices Plunge Over 5% in a Single Day, While Gold Soars Against the Trend

March 25 Market Summary: U.S. Submits 15-Point Ceasefire Plan, Oil Crashes Over 5%, While Gold Surges Against the Trend. Wall Street rebounded as the U.S. submitted a 15-point ceasefire proposal to Iran, sparking optimism. Major indices and futures rose over 0.7%, breaking weeks of pressure. However, tech stocks like Oracle and Salesforce continued to decline, with the software ETF hitting a new low. Oil prices plummeted, with WTI falling over 5% to around $87.60/barrel and Brent dropping below $100, driven by ceasefire expectations. In contrast, gold surged nearly 3.7% to approximately $4,563/ounce as lower oil prices weakened the dollar and revived demand for the metal. Bitcoin held steady near $70,000, with Bernstein analysts declaring a market bottom and maintaining a $150,000 year-end target. However, regulatory concerns emerged as Circle’s stock crashed 20% due to proposed stablecoin regulations. The market’s focus now is on Iran’s response to the ceasefire proposal. Acceptance could push oil below $80, revive rate cut expectations, and boost tech stocks. Rejection could quickly revert markets to panic mode. The real turning point hinges on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
