Bitcoin traded under $70,000 after a 1.6% drop over 24 hours, following a rebound to $71,200 the prior day. Coinbase Premium fell to its most negative level in over a month and spot volume sank to 2023 lows, while March Bitcoin ETF net inflows totaled $1.53 billion but slowed sharply after the first two weeks.

Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen said in a March 26, 2026 video that Bitcoin (BTC) may face another sharp move lower sooner than many expect. He argued that comparisons to Bitcoin's March-style recovery are misplaced, and pointed instead to 2022-like behavior where price failed to reclaim the 21-week EMA. Cowen also questioned whether $60,000 will hold as solid support, citing weekly RSI, MVRV Z-score, and realized price levels as not yet aligning with typical bear-market bottom zones.
