Bitcoin holds $68,000 support amid macro headwinds; ETF flows turn cautious, altcoins echo subdued sentiment

Market analysis by Vikram Subburaj, CEO, Giottus.com

As of March 23, Bitcoin was trading around $68,000-$68,200 after a volatile week in which it had briefly traded above $74,000. In the near term, the market appears to be trading within a narrow tactical band. $68,000 remains the first support to watch, while the $70,000-$72,000 zone is the first meaningful resistance area. That matters because Bitcoin is no longer trading solely on crypto-native sentiment. It is reacting almost tick-for-tick to a broader global repricing of risk.

On-chain data offers a more nuanced picture than price action alone. Glassnode data indicates that the $72K–$82 K band is a low-supply zone. So, if Bitcoin reclaims it, overhead resistance may be limited even if current prices are below that range.

At the same time, its Percent Supply in Profit had recovered only to around 60%. This is an improvement from stress conditions but still below the 75%+ zone that would more convincingly signal a durable bull-market reset. 

The ETF tape also argues for caution rather than euphoria. On March 20, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of about $52.1 million, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for the largest single-day withdrawal. March 21 and 22 were a weekend, so there were no regular U.S. ETF trading-session flow prints on those dates. Even so, the broader March picture had not completely broken down. Reports still described the month’s aggregate ETF flow trend as positive despite late-week softness. That is a useful distinction. One weak day is not the same as a regime change. But it does show that institutional money has become more selective at higher prices.

The bigger driver on March 23 was macro. Reuters reported Brent crude at around $111.90 a barrel. This is up sharply amid the escalating Gulf conflict. Bond yields climbed and the dollar firmed as markets priced out aggressive rate cuts. That combination is not friendly to crypto. High oil prices raise inflation anxiety and inflation anxiety reduces the room for the Federal Reserve to turn dovish. The Fed has already held rates at 3.5%-3.75% and signaled only one cut in 2026. This reinforces the higher-for-longer backdrop. For crypto, that means liquidity remains constrained and rallies must work harder to sustain themselves.

Among large-cap altcoins, the picture was softer rather than exuberant on the March 23 snapshot. Desks showed Ethereum near $2,056.82, down 1.36% in 24 hours; BNB around $627.53, down 0.61%; XRP at about $1.39, down 1.64%; and Solana near $86.46, down 1.05%. For TRON, there was a daily gain of roughly 2%-3%, depending on the currency pair snapshot. The broad takeaway is that altcoins were not staging a decisive independent breakout; they were mostly echoing Bitcoin’s macro-led hesitation. 

Bitcoin remains structurally better placed than it looked a few weeks ago. However, this is a market still being shaped more by oil, rates, and geopolitics than by internal crypto momentum. Unless Bitcoin reclaims $70,000-$72,000 with stronger participation and steadier ETF demand, traders should treat the current bounce as a test of resilience.

New Zealand permits fuel imports meeting Australian standards amid supply shock

New Zealand will temporarily permit fuel meeting Australian standards ‌to be imported for up to 12 months, the government said ⁠on Monday, as it seeks to mitigate supply risks linked to the Middle East conflict ‌and soaring prices.

Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones said the alignment of fuel ‌standards would give importers access ‌to ⁠more options and reduce the risk ⁠of disruptions.

“This is a sensible, time-limited step that gives importers access to a broader range of fuel shipments, including ‌those already in our region,” Jones said in a statement.

But the country would not follow Australia in relaxing its own ‌standards to allow access to higher sulphur fuel, he added.

New Zealand has 49.9 days of ⁠petrol, 45.5 days of diesel and 44.7 days of jet fuel in reserve, according ‌to figures from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. – Reuters

China’s yuan weakens against dollar as Iran war threatens growth

The onshore yuan changed hands at ‌6.9098 per dollar around midday, 0.1% weaker than Friday’s close. – ANI

Bitcoin outperforms equities amid global volatility; investors urged to stay disciplined and focus on fundamentals

The ongoing oil shock and geopolitical tensions have triggered volatility across global markets, yet digital assets are showing relative resilience. Bitcoin has corrected in recent sessions but continues to hold up better than equities and some traditional assets, reflecting sustained structural demand and improving liquidity dynamics.

At the same time, Ethereum is approaching a decisive technical phase, with the $1,800 zone emerging as a crucial level that could define near term direction if broader market sentiment weakens further. Meanwhile, XRP’s sharp rallies and pullbacks highlight its high sensitivity to sentiment shifts, with price action largely influenced by positioning and renewed institutional narratives around the token. 

In this environment, investors should focus on disciplined accumulation strategies, staggered entries and maintaining adequate liquidity to navigate sudden market swings. It is important to prioritise fundamentally strong assets, track macro cues such as energy prices and interest rate expectations, and avoid overexposure to short term momentum driven trades. A balanced allocation approach combined with long term conviction can help market participants stay positioned for the next structural upcycle while managing near term uncertainty in global financial conditions.

Nifty seen opening sharply lower amid global selloff; critical support at 22,800

Gaurav Udani, Founder – ThinCredBlu Securities Pvt. Ltd, “Nifty is expected to open sharply lower around the 22,750 mark, down nearly 350 points, as global markets remain under pressure amid escalating geopolitical tensions and risk-off sentiment.

Weakness across international equities, coupled with elevated crude oil prices and uncertainty around global growth, continues to weigh on investor confidence. This has led to sustained selling pressure in emerging markets, including India.

From a technical perspective, 22,800 is a critical weekly support level. A sustained close below this zone could open room for a deeper correction toward the 22,000 levels in the near term.

Given the fragile global backdrop, traders should remain extremely cautious, avoid attempting to buy into falling markets, and focus on capital preservation as volatility is likely to remain elevated.”

Nifty forms inverted hammer, faces resistance near 23,350

Akshay Chinchalkar, Managing Partner and Head of Markets Strategy at the Wealth Company

Over to stocks, and the nifty closed 0.5% up at 23114, but not before giving up a reasonable amount of intraday gains. The India VIX finished flat. Mid- and small caps rose more than the nifty. Nearly three stocks rose for every stock that fell on the Nifty 500. Seven of the 12 NSE sectors advanced, with IT stocks rising 2.2% and becoming the day’s best performers. Realty stocks fell the most, dropping 0.9%. Speaking nifty stocks, JSW Steel was the day’s best stock with a 3.4% gain while Hindalco was the worst as it fell 2.5%. Technically speaking, Friday’s candle became an “inverted hammer” with a long upper shadow which means sellers remain active near 23350. Unless the market is able to break through this area, the trend will remain weak. 

Immediate resistance lies in the 23345 – 23379 zone, while support lies between 22680 and 22923.
