Years ago, I got into a Tesla-heavy fund before anyone believed in him. That single bet turned into nearly a seven-figure position in less than a decade.
Now I'm betting on Elon again - with SpaceX.
Bloomberg is calling it "the biggest listing of ALL TIME." A $1.5 TRILLION valuation. A "millionaire-maker" event!
I believe Elon will announce the IPO on March 26, 2026. And I have an "access code" that lets you get a stake in before it happens.
The stability of the cryptocurrency market in early March became a memory this past week, March 8–15, 2026, as the market moved from indecision to a period of cautious recovery. While the previous week ended in a liquidity flush, this week saw Bitcoin and the broader market attempting to stabilize above critical support levels, though sentiment remains heavy with the weight of persistent macro pressures.
Bitcoin Price Action Breakdown
After last week's dip toward $63,000–$65,000, BTC staged a resilient recovery, bouncing strongly off ~$65,000–$66,000 support. The week saw a climb back into the $70,000s, with highs near $73,173 on March 15. By March 16, momentum carried toward $73,800+.
This rebound absorbed mid-week volatility and liquidations (more shorts squeezed on the weekend push). Buyers defended key levels, but $73,500 remains overhead resistance— a decisive close above could confirm reversal. Traders could come out and cause BTC to drop back to the $60,000 range again.
The Recovery - Bitcoin opened the week under pressure but found strong support near the $65,000 mark. By Sunday, March 15, BTC reclaimed the $72,813 level, reaching a high of approximately $73,173. This move suggests that while the $73,500 ceiling remains a challenge, buyers are stepping in at lower levels to prevent a deeper slide toward $60,000.
Liquidations - Despite the recovery, the market remains volatile. Mid-week price swings saw significant liquidations as traders leveraged the rebound. However, unlike the mass long-liquidations of the previous week, the weekend of March 14–15 saw a shift where short positions faced higher pressure as BTC climbed back toward $73,000.
US Government & Trump Administration Actions
Political maneuvering continues to dictate the pace of institutional adoption, with the administration’s focus shifting toward the final implementation stages of key legislation.
The GENIUS Act Implementation - Treasury Secretary Bessent’s department has begun releasing formal reports on how innovative technologies can be leveraged to counter illicit finance, a requirement of the GENIUS Act.
Yield-Bearing Conflicts - The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking on March 9, 2026, governing payment stablecoins. A central point of friction remains the prohibition against issuers paying any form of interest or yield to stablecoin holders, which continues to cause a standoff between traditional banks and crypto innovators.
Bitcoin Dominance
Bitcoin Dominance chart from CoinMarketCap
Bitcoin Dominance saw a slight uptick this week, ending near 59.2%. This increase reflects a flight to safety as investors preferred the relative stability of Bitcoin over high-beta altcoins during the early week volatility. Analysts watch this level closely; staying above it typically signals a period of Bitcoin outperformance before any potential capital rotation into altcoins.
Fear & Greed Index
Fear and Greed index from Bitdegree
The index registered a score of 15/100 (Extreme Fear) as of Sunday, March 15. Although the price of BTC recovered to $72,000, the sentiment gauge remains deeply pessimistic. The average over the past 30 days is just 11, marking one of the longest periods of sustained Extreme Fear in market history.

Voices from the Trenches
Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) - Observed on March 15 that the weekly RSI remains in oversold territory. Historically, he notes, this signal suggests markets are bottoming and a reversal is happening.
Timothy Peterson (@nsquaredvalue) - Maintains his statistical outlook, stating there is an 88% probability that BTC will be higher 10 months from now, with a target of $122,000 by year-end.
What to Watch Next
The $73,500 Resistance - A clean break and daily close above this level could signal the end of the corrective phase.
SEC Task Force 2.0 - Watch for the SEC's new Crypto 2.0 task force to issue further guidance on broker-dealer custody, which could trigger the next wave of institutional investment.
Stablecoin Yield Conflicts - Any movement from the ongoing White House meetings regarding the Clarity Act could spark a sudden market reversal.
