On 2 March 2026, Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, argued that Bitcoin is significantly undervalued versus gold and global liquidity, estimating it trades 24% to 66% below its historical trend. He pointed to a BTC-to-gold Z-score of -1.24 as of 1 March 2026 and highlighted that gold’s market cap is still roughly 10 times larger than Bitcoin’s. Mow continues to project a long-term price target of $1 million per BTC and expects further nation-state adoption, while some analysts warn Bitcoin could still retest the $50,000 area amid macro risks.

According to the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index, the score fell to 9 last week as BTC slid toward $60,000. This extreme reading has only been seen during the 2018–2019 bear market and the 2022 FTX collapse. Previous instances were followed by months of accumulation and then a steady advance, though results can vary.

Bitcoin slipped beneath $67,000 and hovered near $66,800, down about 2% over 24 hours, after US‑Israel strikes on Iran roiled markets. Oil spiked (Brent up as much as 13%), gold extended gains, and US stock futures fell. BTC briefly hit around $63,255 Saturday before rebounding above $68,000; ETH dropped roughly 10% before stabilizing near $1,950.

Strategy has raised the annualized dividend on its STRC preferred stock from 11.25% to 11.50% for March 2026, with the next monthly payout set for March 31. The move comes as STRC continues to trade around its $100 par value, while Strategy’s common shares and Bitcoin have both fallen sharply, pressuring the firm’s broader capital strategy. The company is increasingly leaning on perpetual preferred offerings to fund ongoing Bitcoin purchases despite a significant drawdown in the crypto market.

Bitcoin rebounded above $67,000 after dropping to $60,030 in the early hours of 28 February. Analyst Benjamin Cowen warns the move may mirror 2022, with a potential $70,000–$84,000 relief rally before a lower high, while CryptoQuant's realized price near $72,700 and CoinGlass liquidation zones at $68,596 and $65,656 shape near‑term risk.

In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin slipped 1.18% to roughly $66,538, according to the article, amid a broader risk-off tone tied to Middle East tensions and liquidations. Macroeconomist Henrik Zeberg's March 2026 outlook projects a primary rally to $110–120K, with a 25% alternate path to $140,000–$150,000 driven by risk-on flows, spot ETF demand, and institutional participation.

Bitcoin is consolidating above $66,000 while resistance at $67,000 and $68,200 limits upside, with price still below the 100-hour SMA. According to the hourly BTC/USD chart (Kraken data feed), a bearish trend line sits near $67,000; a close above $68,200 could target $69,500–$70,000, while failure risks a pullback to $65,500, $65,000 and $64,250.

Bitcoin and the broader crypto market fell over the past 24 hours, with total capitalization around $2.28 trillion and BTC near $66,200, down roughly 2–3%. The article also notes a 78% correlation with the S&P 500, $130 million in Bitcoin liquidations, and a Fear & Greed Index at 15 amid Middle East tensions.
