The cryptocurrency market continues falling and the market sentiment is far from positive. First of all, it happens due to expectations of a future rate hike by the US Fed during its March meeting. Another reason is reactions to geopolitical escalations. It is now clearly seen that the crypto segment has become a “safe haven” for investors who prefer fiat assets – movements here are very similar to the ones in capital markets.
BTC: early signs of a bearish market
The flagship of the sector, the BTC, remains below $40,000 USD. BTC may also negatively respond to the early signs of a bearish market. For example, a co-founder of the Huobi exchange, Mr Du Jun, believes that Bitcoin will remain weak until at least the end of 2024 or even the beginning of 2025. A pressure factor according to Du Jun will be halving, that’s why the next massive ascending wave in the BTC may start only after another stage of it.

ETH: Buterin believes that a “crypto winter” is round the corner

BoleToken, Auric Network, and GranX Chain: a raid against the market

Auric Network leaped up almost 400%; the coin is connected with the project that is developing a payment method based on the Gold price. GranX Chain increased by over 460% over the week; the project is developing solutions for users to help them create their own cryptocurrencies.
