On March 2, popular Twitter account Credible Crypto compared the current behavior with the bull run that started in September 2020, saying, “The last part of our corrective structure that preceded the 3rd impulse wave from 10K to 60K+ was a triangle, it’s good to see something similar here if our bottom is inside. would be,” he said. Credibke Crypto also said, “Note that a longer bottom typically leads to a stronger impulse. Retracements to 38K-42K in BTC are healthy,” he said.

The S&P 500 fell 0.7% in one day after the clearest signals from the United States Federal Reserve of a possible key rate hike.

Safe harbor status back?
Meanwhile, professional trading firm QCP Capital has focused on Bitcoin’s potential advantage over the largest altcoin Ether (ETH) as macro events unfold. According to the firm, while Bitcoin has regained its safe-haven status, the same cannot be said for altcoins. The company says in its statement:
The focus on BTC was even reflected in volume markets where 10-day volatility was 4% higher than ETH for BTC (94.5% vs. 99%). Anecdotally, there has been much higher interest in BTC compared to ETH. This caused the implied volume spread between BTC and ETH to drop to lows of around 7%. Along with the spot recovery, implied volumes are also trading softer.
QCP added that whatever the size and timing of the rate hike, “some downside risk” should remain in the second quarter thanks to Fed policy.
