On April 5th, QCPCapital, a cryptocurrency market maker, pointed out in its latest research report that the cryptocurrency market will perform poorly at the beginning of the second quarter of 2024. The price of Bitcoin has fallen below $70,000 and is fluctuating within a narrow range. The scale of ETF fund inflows is not sufficient to drive price trends. The funding rate tends to be stable, and the front end of the forward curve has fallen from a high point of 50% to below 20%. However, it is worth noting that the back end of the forward curve is still at a high level, and investors are interested in longer-term spot-forward basis positions. This may be due to the continued demand for Bitcoin 2025 long-term call options in the market. QCP believes that the bullish demand for Bitcoin and the upward momentum of spot ETF fund inflows will support Bitcoin prices and is expected to push Bitcoin above $70,000 this weekend. On the other hand, Ethereum continues to be weak. ETHBTC is testing key support levels after falling below 0.05. The market continues to sell a large number of Ethereum long call options, which has lowered the implied volatility and formed some downward pressure on prices. QCP analysis believes that this may once again indicate that the early signal of the shift from frenzy to panic for altcoins represented by Ethereum.

CEO of Galaxy Digital, Mike Novogratz, said that the US debt crisis has made it "so easy to convince people to buy Bitcoin and other hard assets". As warnings about the US debt crisis continue to increase, some investors are exploring Bitcoin as a potential hedging tool. Mike Novogratz is a staunch supporter of Bitcoin. He recently predicted that BTC will reach $100,000 this year.

Bitcoin mining company Gryphon Digital Mining has submitted a pre-motion letter to the Southern District Court of New York requesting permission to file a pre-trial seizure motion to seek the $10 million equity gain recently obtained from the settlement with Core Scientific in bankruptcy exit. Gryphon hopes to ensure that the funds can be used for any judgment that may be received due to Sphere's alleged breach of contract, which has caused losses of at least $30 million. Sphere is accused of violating the exclusivity clause in its agreement with Gryphon by signing at least four hosting agreements with other providers.

Bitcoin has hit a new all-time high of $72,000, with potential macroeconomic uncertainty and upcoming elections affecting its price. The approval of 11 spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds by the U.S. SEC and the upcoming 4th Bitcoin Halving event in mid-April are two key factors contributing to its positive performance. The halving process, which reduces bitcoin's supply, is expected to have a positive impact on its price and could lead to increased mainstream adoption in 2024. While the impact of the halving on the BTC market in 2024 and beyond remains to be seen, smart traders and investors understand the importance of history repeating itself.

Bitcoin appears to be experiencing a "seller liquidity crisis". The on-chain analysis platform CryptoQuant pointed out that record-breaking Bitcoin demand combined with a decrease in seller liquidity has caused Bitcoin's liquidity inventory to drop to its lowest level in several months. The organization estimates that if the current market growth rate is maintained, the current Bitcoin seller liquidity inventory is only sufficient to meet demand for twelve months. CryptoQuant added that its calculations only include "accumulation addresses" (i.e. those addresses that have not had outgoing transactions), which means that net demand may still be higher.

These Bitcoin have not moved since they were received in 2019, and it is currently unclear who owns the address, which does not appear to be associated with any exchanges.
