The trading implications of this 'kangaroo market' were significant, as it created numerous trading opportunities and challenges.

Traders who capitalized on the volatility by employing strategies such as scalping and range trading were able to profit from the rapid price movements (Source: TradingView, March 29, 2025, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM UTC). The increased trading volumes and price fluctuations also led to higher liquidity, which facilitated easier entry and exit from positions (Source: Kaiko, March 29, 2025, 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM UTC).
