Weekly Analysis
$68,649. Bitcoin fell 4.4% over the past seven days to $68,649, according to CoinGecko data as of March 23, 2026. Ethereum dropped just 1.5% to $2,079, while Solana slipped 1.4% to $87.23. Total market cap sits at $2.44 trillion, down 2% in the last 24 hours. Bitcoin dominance climbed to 56.3%.
The Fear & Greed Index averaged 19 this week — Extreme Fear. On-chain data from Glassnode shows exchange inflows spiked to 48,200 BTC on March 19, the highest single-day inflow since January 2026. Sellers drove the move. Yet altcoins tell a different story. ANKR gained 23.3% in seven days. ENJ rose 17.0%. Fetch.ai (FET) added 7.3%.
FLOW led losers down 25.9%. TRUMP fell 20.0%. Loopring dropped 19.5%. Per CoinMarketCap data, the top 100 altcoins posted a median return of -3.2% against BTC. Bitcoin dominance above 56% with extreme fear suggests consolidation, not capitulation. A move below $65,000 on rising volume would break that thesis.
