On March 23, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a notable retest of its support levels, as highlighted by Michaël van de Poppe on Twitter (Source: @CryptoMichNL, March 23, 2025). At 14:30 UTC, BTC's price was recorded at $85,400, showing a 2% increase from the previous day's close of $83,750 (Source: CoinGecko, March 23, 2025). This retest occurred after a brief dip to $84,200 at 09:00 UTC, which was quickly rebounded from, signaling strong buyer support (Source: TradingView, March 23, 2025). The market's resilience at this level suggests a potential for further upward movement, with van de Poppe suggesting that a break above $87,000 could propel BTC back above $90,000 (Source: @CryptoMichNL, March 23, 2025).

The BTC/ETH pair also showed strength, with ETH trading at $3,200 and the pair's ratio stabilizing at 26.69, suggesting that Bitcoin's performance is outpacing Ethereum's (Source: CoinGecko, March 23, 2025).
