Crypto Bull Market Update: Is March 2025 the Next Big Breakout?
Back in October 2023, I hate to admit it, but I nailed it—calling a 2024 bull run when most were still licking their wounds from the bear market. I laid it out clearly in this piece from America’s Future. On February 26, 2025, I doubled down with another prediction on X, formally Twitter: betting big that crypto was gearing up for its next leg up. I said it was just consolidating before preparing to hit new all-time highs in March 2025—and here we are.
It looks like big players like Binance and Bybit were offloading futures positions earlier, betting on the surge that fueled Bitcoin and altcoin gains all last year. Just two days ago, on March 1st, we saw Bitcoin and Ethereum hit a shakeout with those long-position expirations—right on cue. That same day, the old FTX Solana stash flooded the market, but it barely made a dent—probably because everyone saw it coming and priced it in. I’m guessing market makers are playing Trump’s tariff threats against the EU, Canada, and Mexico to rattle traders into dumping their bags, setting up that classic “sell the fear, buy the relief” move now that the panic’s settling and it’s not as bad as people thought. Central banks worldwide are still slashing rates and printing cash, though the U.S. Fed’s holding steady heading into its March meeting—Trump’s been needling them for cuts, no surprise there. Looking at the charts, this tight price action and consolidation feels like a coiled spring ready to pop into the next surge, not some breakdown.
The signs are stacking up: institutional buying’s creeping higher, Senator Lummis was all over last week’s Senate hearing pushing pro-crypto vibes, and Trump’s crypto strategic reserve announcement is still echoing. That dip we just saw? To me, it’s a breather, not a bust—Bitcoin’s gearing up for a breakout, and I’m betting we’ll see it soon.
