Bitcoin’s price held $105k in support on Tuesday, with reduced geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. It happened because Trump’s announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran reawakened investors’ morale.
Even institutional interest in Bitcoin remains strong, with BTC ETFs recording $350.43 million in net inflows on Monday. In addition, exchange reserves this week fell from $2.491 million to $2.485 million, pointing to declining selling pressure in the short term, per cryptoquant.
Moreover, bullish interest seems to be high as the “taker buy to sell ratio” on the Bybit exchange has displayed significant spikes, and several expert bullish posts are flooded on social platforms where targets are aimed as high as $130K to $135K in Q3 2025. Keep reading to know more.
A recent analysis from Cryptoquant reveals that when market interest wanes in BTC, all data appears stagnant, making things easier to evaluate. In this scenario, a sudden footprint of smart money is easily tracked.
The activity starts revealing sudden spikes in the data of Bitcoin’s taker buy-to-sell ratio chart on the Bybit exchange, which were nearly stagnant before.
This highlights a significant pattern when overall market attention is drawn to a negative factor, and involvement becomes low due to rising fear. The whale accumulation has been seen to accelerate.
In many cases, smart money-loading bags have preceded with the upward trends.
The same pattern is repeating now, and spikes in the data amid the recent war uncertainty are evident. It highlights that the odds of a price rise are much higher.
Recently, Daan Crypto highlighted that from May to June, the Bitcoin price was in a severe range between the month’s swing low support at $100K and near ATH around $109K.
The recent breach of swing low support during the heightened conflict, followed by a recovery from range lows, has built a big liquidity grab, which has hit many traders’ “stop-loss” orders. Now, experts believe the de-escalation could pump more gains ahead in the short term.
Aligning with the bullish sentiment, another expert has revealed that the Binance BTC/USDT liquidation heatmap on coin glass suggests that the current price is exchanging hands in the middle of two major liquidity leverage clusters.
Still, the topside liquidity cluster is piling up strongly per the 24-hour chart. He suggests that a short-term short-squeeze is coming, and the bull run is not over yet.
Moreover, in the long term, another expert, Ted Pillows, highlights that the recent war-led dip has changed nothing for BTC’s long-term trajectory. Instead, this dip has ensured that room for more upside is clear; he believes that $130K to $135K BTC price in Q3 is possible.

Pi Network is planning to unlock 188 million tokens in March, making them accessible to over 1 million users. This is a substantially larger user pool than most months. Yet, it may not increase selling pressure as demand for PI continues to surge.
However, the project’s community is also acting aggressively over social media, review-bombing Binance for its perceived listing delays. A Binance community vote overwhelmingly supports Pi, but the listing hasn’t gone live yet, prompting intense backlash.
Pi Network is one of the most hyped crypto projects in recent times. Since its mainnet launch on February 20, PI surged nearly 100%, hitting a peak of $2.99 before seeing corrections. At the same time, it’s gaining recognition from the wider community despite earlier criticism.
A week ago, CoinMarketCap refused to update its market cap, but the platform reversed this stance yesterday. PI is now the 11th largest cryptocurrency in the market, ahead of Hedera, Chainlink, Steller, and other notable names.
CoinMarketCap’s community sentiment shows that 91% of its users are bullish on Pi, as the firm is planning to unlock 188 million tokens to over 1.1 million users this month.
A token unlock of this size is bound to have an impact on Pi Network’s price. Recently, the project launched the biggest airdrop in crypto history, which helped juice enthusiasm.
ExplorePi data shows that there are currently more than 11.5 million Pioneer accounts. However, 7.25 million (63%) accounts lock PI for three years, and 1.6 million accounts (14%) lock PI for one year.
Therefore, the selling pressure on Pi Network may not take effect immediately, even with this massive user pool.
Nonetheless, Pi Network is also ruffling more than a few feathers. Recently, Binance hosted a community vote on whether or not to list PI tokens, and its users were overwhelmingly in favor.
Despite the votes, Binance is yet to list PI, and several users are not taking this lightly. Pi fans have review-bombed its Google reviews. Without directly mentioning the project, the exchange responded to these comments:
“Before listing cryptocurrencies, Binance will check and consider many factors including liquidity and trading volume in the market,” Binance claimed. Although the exchange didn’t directly reference Pi Network, it commented on several Pi-centric 1 star ratings on Play Store.
Many (but not all) of these reviews and responses took place on Asia-based servers, where the project is the most popular. Recently, the Vietnamese government issued a warning about Pi Network, and Bybit CEO Ben Zhou reminded his users that China issued similar warnings years prior.
Regardless, Pi Network seems to have a huge community of enthusiastic supporters. Although some of its fans are getting a reputation for their hostility and defensiveness on social media, the project remains resilient to the current market conditions.

Circle, the issuer behind the USDC stablecoin, has frozen $57 million worth of USDC connected to the LIBRA team, according to on-chain data. The move, first reported by Aggr News on X, shows two transactions marked as “freezeAccount,” on the Solana blockchain. Circle’s USDC Transfer Halt Exposes Centralized Control Behind Stablecoins As Circle centralizes control over USDC, freezing the asset is an option built into the system. As a result, its control can be activated, when necessary, usually for law enforcement, sanctions or against suspected unlawful activity. So far, both Circle and other official sources have not explained why the freeze was put in place. These kinds of actions usually indicate that something is suspected by the authorities. Many cryptocurrency users still question how Circle can restrict access to users’ money. The blockchain supports security and follows regulations. However, many crypto fans dislike the changes the company makes to its… Read More at Coingape.com
