BITCOIN WEEKLY UPDATE | Mar 2, 2026 Bitcoin had a strong week. BTC is up roughly +6% over the past 7 days. The weekly range was clean and volatile. Low near $63K. High near $69.5K. The story of the week was simple. Geopolitics injected fear. Bitcoin absorbed it. And price snapped back fast. One of the biggest signals was corporate accumulation. Strategy added 3,015 BTC in the last week. That is real size about $204 Million. And it matters when sentiment is shaky. MARKET ACTIVITY Spot volume stayed healthy. Derivatives volume stayed dominant. That means traders are still driving most of the short-term moves. LEVERAGE AND POSITIONING Open interest remains elevated. After the dip, leverage started rebuilding. This is the fuel that creates fast candles in either direction. Funding is mostly flat to slightly negative. That is important. It suggests this is not an overcrowded long party. It also means squeezes are still possible if price breaks upward. OPTIONS POSTURE Implied volatility remains priced for movement. Skew is still defensive. Traders continue paying up for downside protection. Translation: the market is participating but still wearing a seatbelt. DAILY MOMENTUM Daily RSI improved materially. MACD has flipped more constructive on some reads. Momentum is recovering, but it is not a victory lap yet. LIQUIDATIONS Liquidations stayed meaningful, but not extreme. We saw a cleanup. Not a full reset. WHAT THIS IMPLIES FOR THIS WEEK A ±5% day is still very realistic. Leverage is high. Catalyst risk is high. And derivatives are still steering the short-term tape. DIRECTIONAL BIAS: CAUTIOUSLY BULLISH As long as BTC holds the mid-$60Ks, upside continuation has a path. But the options market is still warning you. Downside spikes are not off the table. THE PLAY If you’re long-term bullish, this is a “stay positioned, manage risk” week. If you’re trading, respect leverage-driven wicks and set hard invalidations.
