The total crypto market cap is approaching $2.5 trillion, with $2.45 trillion now acting as a support area. Buyers are pressing against resistance at $2.50 trillion, and a successful push through that level could open a move toward $2.53 trillion. If support at $2.45 trillion breaks, the market could retrace toward $2.37 trillion, weakening the current constructive setup.
Bitcoin stalls below $75,000 as buyers keep pressure on
Bitcoin was trading near $73,676 and continued to face supply around $75,000, a price zone linked to notable selling in earlier sessions. As BTC moved back toward that threshold, technical readings including the Money Flow Index pointed to stronger capital inflows and firmer buying interest. A decisive breakout with a daily close above $75,000 would shift attention to the $77,500 area.
If sellers regain control, downside levels remain in focus. Near-term retracement points sit around $72,294, with deeper pullbacks toward $70,000 and $68,830 still possible. On derivatives venues, funding rates for Bitcoin perpetual contracts have generally stayed between 0.01% and 0.05%, a mildly positive range that suggests balanced bullish positioning rather than overheated speculation.
Spot ETF demand remains a major source of market support
The rollout and adoption of spot Bitcoin ETFs has become one of the main drivers of crypto pricing in 2026. From March 9 to March 13, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $767 million in net inflows, extending gains across three consecutive weeks. Over the same period, Ethereum spot ETFs added $161 million, while SOL spot ETFs brought in $10.7 million in fresh allocations.
After a wave of short liquidations earlier in the year removed bearish leverage, subsequent rallies have been driven more by direct spot demand and sustained ETF buying. Blockchain analytics also indicate that large Bitcoin and Ethereum holders have been expanding positions during pullbacks, adding a steadier layer of demand beneath the market.
LayerZero gains while BlockFills enters Chapter 11
Among altcoins, LayerZero stood out with a 10.45% gain over the past 24 hours and a bullish golden cross on its chart. Traders are watching the token’s near-term resistance at $2.29. Ethereum, for its part, continues to hold its role as a core digital infrastructure asset, and broader market resilience has remained closely tied to its liquidity profile and ongoing demand.
On the corporate side, Chicago-based digital asset lending platform BlockFills began Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings after freezing client withdrawals. The company described the court filing as a measured response to operational challenges. Separately, Tether Chief Executive Officer Paolo Ardoino said the company’s artificial intelligence unit is set to announce what he called a “genuine breakthrough” within the next week. Bitcoin’s share of the total crypto market remains above 50%.
