As of March 13, 2025, the crypto market shows mixed dynamics with signs of consolidation. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $82,560, within the range of $80,607-$84,539 on the previous day. Despite attempts to break through the local resistance level at $84.125, the asset is unable to gain a foothold higher, indicating that it is currently consolidating.
Better-than-expected inflation data failed to significantly support BTC's growth, partly due to the impact of Trump's trade war, which is estimated to hold back the movement to $86,000.
The total capitalization of the crypto market is $2.640 trillion, of which $774.85 billion is accounted for by the market excluding BTC and ETH.
Bitcoin's dominance remains high at 62.12%, which emphasizes its key role.
The Fear and Greed Index is at 45, indicating neutral investor sentiment with a slight bias toward caution.
Altcoins show mixed dynamics: some assets are growing by 5-10%, while others are falling.
In particular, STRK has added +17% in recent days due to the announcement of the creation of a crypto reserve in BTC and ETH, where part of the project's profits will be used to buy back assets.
Starknet is also preparing to become the first L2 solution to simultaneously run on Ethereum and Bitcoin, although since its listing, the token has lost -93%, which has disappointed retail investors.
The market may be nearing the end of its correctional phase, although opinions are divided online: some participants are panicking, believing this to be the beginning of a bearish trend.
However, historical examples - such as BTC's trend reversal at $18,500 in late 2022 or BNB's bottom at $200 in 2013 - show that crowd sentiment often does not match actual dynamics.
Currently, altcoins are at the lower limits of accumulation, but demand for them remains low, even for projects that performed well in 2023-2024 (for example, WLD, which fully recovered from previous growth).
Among the positive signals is the growth of M2 monetary liquidity, which may be a good sign for the markets, although it does not guarantee a direct inflow of funds into crypto.
Trump's policy remains a negative factor, putting pressure on markets and holding back their recovery.
