0318 Bitcoin Daily Report #美联储利率决议

Bitcoin's upward momentum has temporarily stalled ahead of the interest rate decision. Yesterday, the overnight short-term price briefly broke through $75,000, then fell back below $74,000 at close, ending the previous streak of 8 consecutive days of gains.

The market's current focus remains on liquidity tightness issues. For example, considering multiple central banks adopting tightening or more hawkish rhetoric, when Treasury yields rise, bond markets often crowd out other markets including cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin may face downward pressure, with recent upward momentum potentially fading. Currently, if the benchmark rate remains unchanged as market expectations suggest, traders may focus more on policy tone, dot plot, or hawkish language, quickly pricing in expectations for the coming weeks. Possible paths for Bitcoin: 1. If the dot plot hints at two rate cuts, Bitcoin may rise at least 3%, potentially stabilizing the price above $75,000. 2. If rates remain unchanged with no clear directional guidance, the market may experience brief profit-taking behavior, causing the price to pull back and retest the $70,000 psychological level. 3. If hawkish rhetoric is severe and simultaneously expresses concerns about oil price increases impacting inflation, signaling no rate cuts this year, Bitcoin may decline back toward the $65,000 region.

Technical outlook: Multiple indicators show that bullish momentum is weakening, and the market is entering a brief neutral phase with short-term consolidation or directional hesitation. Key levels: $78,800 key structural resistance—if this level is broken, it may trigger a structural shift and establish a stronger bullish pattern for the coming weeks. The $70,200 psychological level, as this price coincides with the 50-period moving average; if price cannot move far from this level, most of the market may enter hesitation and consolidation again, limiting the continuation of gains.
