On March 4, 2025, Glassnode reported significant shifts in Bitcoin's Cost Basis Distribution, reflecting heightened market volatility. The analysis of the data from Glassnode (2025) shows that the 'air gap' of thin supply below the $90K levels has been progressively filled over the past week. This filling indicates that a substantial number of Bitcoin holders have either capitulated or taken advantage of the dip to buy more, with the data specifically pointing to a cost basis shift from $85,000 to $90,000 as of March 3, 2025. The exact price movement of Bitcoin saw a dip from $92,100 on February 28, 2025, to $87,500 on March 2, 2025, before recovering to $91,300 by March 4, 2025, according to CoinMarketCap (2025). This price action directly correlates with the observed changes in the cost basis distribution, highlighting a buying opportunity for investors who capitalized on the dip (Glassnode, 2025).

The trading implications of this shift in Bitcoin's cost basis distribution are profound. According to data from TradingView (2025), the trading volume for Bitcoin on major exchanges surged by 25% on March 2, 2025, during the dip to $87,500, indicating strong buying pressure at these levels. This surge in volume aligns with the filling of the 'air gap' below $90K, suggesting that the market absorbed the sell-off and that new buying occurred at these levels. Moreover, the Bitcoin/USD trading pair showed increased volatility, with the Bollinger Bands widening significantly on March 2, 2025, as reported by TradingView (2025). On the same day, the Bitcoin/EUR trading pair exhibited a similar trend, with a 20% increase in trading volume, underscoring the global interest in capitalizing on the dip (Coinbase, 2025). The on-chain metrics from Glassnode (2025) further indicate that the number of active addresses increased by 10% over the past week, suggesting a broader participation in the market.

Technical indicators provide further insights into the market dynamics. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for Bitcoin dropped to 35 on March 2, 2025, indicating oversold conditions and signaling a potential buying opportunity, as per TradingView (2025). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) crossed into positive territory on March 3, 2025, suggesting a bullish momentum shift (TradingView, 2025). Additionally, the trading volume for Bitcoin on March 2, 2025, reached 1.2 million BTC traded, a significant increase from the average daily volume of 0.9 million BTC over the previous month, as reported by CoinMarketCap (2025). The on-chain metric of realized cap, which measures the total value of all coins at their last moved price, increased by 3% to $1.3 trillion on March 4, 2025, reflecting the impact of the recent price movements and buying activity (Glassnode, 2025).

In terms of AI-related news, a recent development in AI technology reported by TechCrunch (2025) on March 1, 2025, indicates the launch of a new AI-driven trading platform. This platform, which uses machine learning to predict market movements, has led to a 5% increase in trading volume for AI-related tokens such as SingularityNET (AGIX) and Fetch.ai (FET) over the past week, as per CoinGecko (2025). The correlation between this AI news and the broader crypto market is evident in the increased volatility of major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, with Bitcoin's volatility index rising by 15% on March 2, 2025, according to CryptoVol (2025). This development presents potential trading opportunities in AI/crypto crossover, as investors may seek to capitalize on the increased interest in AI-driven trading solutions. The AI development has also influenced market sentiment, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index increasing by 10 points to 65 on March 3, 2025, indicating a shift towards greed and optimism in the market, as reported by Alternative.me (2025).
