On March 27, CoinDesk reported that Bitcoin fell below $68,000, dropping about 2% in 24 hours. The liquidation heatmap over the past 48 hours shows a significant concentration of liquidity below $66,000, indicating that Bitcoin may decline further in the short term. In terms of funding rates, the perpetual contract funding rate has turned negative, requiring shorts to pay fees to longs, reflecting bearish sentiment in the market. The macroeconomic situation continues to deteriorate. The yield on the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond is approaching 4.5%, the highest level since July of last year, reducing the appeal of risk assets like cryptocurrencies. The MOVE index, which measures volatility in the U.S. bond market, has risen 18% in the past 24 hours, indicating increasing uncertainty. Meanwhile, disruptions to the flow of Russian oil due to Ukraine have derailed Trump’s plans to ease supply tensions, with both Brent and WTI crude oil rising by about 3%. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has also risen to 100, further pressuring risk assets.
