Gate News, March 20 — Over the past 24 hours, the overall cryptocurrency market has come under pressure, with total market capitalization falling by approximately $23 billion to around $2.4 trillion. Bitcoin and mainstream altcoins have weakened simultaneously, and market risk appetite has significantly cooled. Among them, Worldcoin (WLD) dropped over 10%, making it one of the top decliners.
From a macro perspective, the latest U.S. PPI data continues to stir inflation expectations, leading to cautious investor sentiment. Short-term liquidity remains unimproved, suppressing the market rebound. Currently, the TOTAL index is supported around $23.7 trillion, but if trading volume continues to decline over the weekend, further downside to the $23.2 trillion region cannot be ruled out.
Regarding Bitcoin, the price hovers near $70,600, slightly above the key support at $70,552. After failing to break through $75,000, bullish momentum has weakened, and the short-term structure is bearish. If this support is broken, the price could test the $68,865 or even $65,776 levels; conversely, if buying interest returns and the level is reclaimed, there is still potential for a rebound toward $74,000, resuming an upward trend.
Altcoins are performing even weaker, with Worldcoin (WLD) hitting a six-week low at around $0.33. Its CMF indicator stands at -0.22, indicating ongoing capital outflows and dominant selling pressure. If the current support is broken, the next targets could be $0.3122 or even $0.2922. If capital flows back in and the price breaks above $0.3591, a short-term reversal of weakness may occur.
Additionally, fundamental market news also influences sentiment. Predictions that market platform Kalshi has completed over $1 billion in funding, along with reports of layoffs and losses in some crypto-related companies, reinforce investors’ awareness of industry cyclical fluctuations.
In the short term, Bitcoin’s movement remains the key variable for the market. Whether it can hold the critical support level will directly determine the next direction of the crypto market.
