PANews reported on March 15 that according to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin needs to close above the key $81,000 weekly line to avoid more downside volatility before next week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Bitget Research chief analyst Ryan Lee said that a closing price above $81,000 this week will be key to avoiding further declines in Bitcoin. Staying above this level will show resilience, but if it falls below $76,000, it could trigger more short-term selling pressure.

PANews reported on March 15 that according to Cointelegraph, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee voted to pass the GENIUS Act, a bill to regulate stablecoin issuers, paving the way for the adoption of stablecoins as a means of payment outside of cryptocurrency trading. However, the bill may trigger potential privatization and de-dollarization of the U.S. dollar because the bill allows stablecoin issuers to be free from the same federal consumer financial protections as credit cards and peer-to-peer payment platforms, and to invest in money market funds, repurchase agreements and uninsured bank deposits, which have been rescued in past financial crises, thereby indirectly affecting the U.S. dollar. Data shows that the proportion of the U.S. dollar in global foreign exchange reserves has dropped from more than 70% in the early 21st century to below 60%.

Markus Thielen, chief cryptocurrency researcher at 10x Research, said it is "very likely" that Bitcoin will repeat its 2024 trend and enter a long period of consolidation after hitting a record high. It hit a record high of $73,679 in March last year, then entered a consolidation phase, fluctuating in a range of around $20,000 until Donald Trump was elected president of the United States in November. Bitcoin's technical chart resembles a "high and tight flag," which, although usually a bullish continuation pattern, is also showing signs of weakness. At the same time, the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) market shows no signs of a "buy on dips" mentality.

On-chain analysis platform CryptoQuant tweeted that it is witnessing the weakest period of Bitcoin demand this year. Compare the new supply with the supply that has been idle for more than a year to understand the current demand dynamics. When the ratio is below 0, it indicates that demand has turned negative, which means that the number of Bitcoins actively acquired has decreased. It can be seen that demand has been weakening since December and has continued to decline over time. This suggests that investors have become more cautious amid ongoing political and economic uncertainty and may turn to lower-risk assets.

Goldman Sachs mentioned cryptocurrencies in its annual shareholder letter, acknowledging their growing role in financial markets and competition.

"In some cases, our competitors may offer financial products that we do not offer and that our customers may prefer, including cryptocurrencies and other digital assets that we cannot or may choose not to offer."
