Bitcoin could see cumulative liquidations of $1.154 billion on major centralized exchanges if the price rebounds above $75,000, Coinglass data show, as cited by BlockBeats on March 5. A drop below $72,000 would correspond to $334 million in long liquidations, while a move below $71,000 would reach $1.234 billion in liquidation intensity. BlockBeats notes the liquidation chart reflects relative intensity of liquidation clusters rather than exact contract numbers or values, with higher bars indicating concentrated liquidity that may trigger stronger market reactions when price reaches those levels.

Bitcoin (BTC) climbed back above $70,000 within the past 24 hours and briefly touched $74,000 on March 5, 2026, as U.S. President Donald Trump voiced support for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, according to the report. The policy-driven shift in sentiment coincided with more than $500 million in short positions being liquidated in the derivatives market, while the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield stood at 4.11% and the U.S. Dollar Index at 98.813. BTC staged a sharp V-shaped rebound from a recent low of $63,000 to above $72,000, with short-term resistance now seen in the $74,400–$75,000 range and the 4-hour RSI around 53.18. Ethereum (ETH) rose about 8% to reclaim the $2,000 level and trade near $2,129, supported by a $129 million buy wall around $1,980, as around 3.4 million ETH remain queued for staking with an estimated 60-day wait time.

Bitcoin gained 5% in the past 24 hours to trade above $72,000, driven mainly by short covering and renewed retail inflows rather than broad-based market confidence, DL News reports. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds saw $462 million in inflows, and DefiLlama data show March could become the first month since October to post positive net flows. Bitfire CEO Livio Weng said he is optimistic about the rebound and argued it underscores Bitcoin's appeal as a safe-haven asset during heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Only 1% of total BTC supply is currently positioned in the $72,000 to $80,000 on-chain price band, analysis shows. If Bitcoin holds above $72,000, a move toward $80,000 could unfold rapidly, the assessment notes.

Bitcoin is moving toward the $73,750 to $74,400 price band, a range that has repeatedly marked key turning points over the past two years, CoinDesk reports. In Q1 2024, a rally tied to the launch of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs stalled near $73,750 before BTC slid toward $50,000, while in April 2025 a downtrend from $100,000 reversed close to $74,400 and later saw prices climb to roughly $126,000. Early February 2025 brought another pivotal move when Bitcoin fell below this zone, followed by a rapid decline toward $60,000, reinforcing the band's dual role as both resistance and support. Analysts cited in the report say the next clear breakout above $74,400 or rejection from this zone, especially in conjunction with ETF flows, macro policy, onchain metrics and regulatory signals, could help define Bitcoin's next medium‑term trend.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $462 million on Wednesday as Bitcoin briefly moved above $73,000 before trading around $72,214, Farside data show. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF led with approximately $307 million in inflows, while Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund took in about $48 million and Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust added roughly $32 million. The inflows marked a third straight day of positive flows, lifting week-to-date spot BTC ETF inflows to roughly $1.1 billion following about $3.8 billion in outflows over a five-week stretch earlier this year.

Bitcoin has historically formed market bottoms when its price trades between the 1.0 and 0.8 MVRV Pricing Bands, Glassnode data show. Analyst Ali Martinez noted in a post on X that over the past decade, these bands—mapping Bitcoin's price to specific Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Ratio levels—have consistently marked a key bottoming zone, with the current 1.0 and 0.8 bands near $54,000 and $43,000, respectively. The chart shows BTC recently stayed below the 2.4 and 3.2 MVRV bands, around $130,000 and $174,000 where profit realization risk is considered elevated, while still holding above the 1.0 band. Martinez added that Bitcoin has not breached the 3.2 MVRV band in this cycle, and it is unclear whether the price will fall to retest the historical 1.0–0.8 band range or establish a higher low, with BTC trading around $73,000 and up more than 6% over the past week at the time of writing.

Crypto analyst Doctor Profit expects Bitcoin to extend its recent rebound into a "fake pump" toward the $78,000–$88,000 range after buying BTC around $68,600, according to posts he shared on March 2, 2026. He describes himself as very bullish over the coming weeks while keeping a $125,000 short position open, arguing that aggressive upside moves can occur even during a bear phase. Doctor Profit maintains that a bear market started in Q4 2025, noting that BTC first reached a new all-time high near $125,000 before what he anticipated as a major downturn. He now reiterates a long-term bearish outlook and warns that Bitcoin could eventually fall toward $40,000, adding that in his view the market bottom has not yet been reached.

Independent crypto market analyst Axel Adler said on March 5 that Bitcoin's market regime score rebounded from a yearly low of 47 on February 7 to +0.98 on March 4, moving back above the zero line. The 25-day recovery outpaced the 33 days needed after a reading of 37 in November 2025 and the 11 days following a score of 35 in August. Adler noted that sustained bull territory for this system score will depend on funding rates normalizing while Bitcoin's price holds above $70,000, alongside evidence of traders shifting to net long positioning. The price structure indicator climbed from +0.07 to +0.57 between March 2 and 4, also crossing the zero line as the market regime indicator turned positive, marking the first alignment of the two gauges since January, when such convergence was associated with a subsequent 7–8% price rise, with the synchronized signals from these independent methodologies pointing to a structural regime change rather than a localized short squeeze.
