On March 2, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) exhibited significant price movement, crossing the $90,000 threshold, as reported by Crypto Rover on Twitter (X) at 10:30 AM UTC (Crypto Rover, 2025). This milestone was reached with a high of $90,120, recorded at 10:28 AM UTC, following a 24-hour trading volume of $45 billion on major exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase (CoinMarketCap, 2025). The immediate trigger for this surge was a combination of institutional buying and positive market sentiment driven by recent regulatory clarity in the U.S. crypto market (Bloomberg, 2025). Notably, the BTC/USD trading pair saw an increase in liquidity, with the bid-ask spread narrowing to 0.05% at 10:35 AM UTC, indicating strong market confidence (TradingView, 2025). Concurrently, on-chain metrics showed a spike in active addresses, reaching 1.2 million at 10:40 AM UTC, up from 900,000 the previous day, suggesting heightened trader engagement (Glassnode, 2025). The MVRV ratio for BTC stood at 3.2, indicating the asset was trading at a premium to its realized value, which historically has been a precursor to further bullish momentum (CryptoQuant, 2025).

The crossing of the $90,000 mark by Bitcoin has immediate trading implications. The BTC/USD pair experienced a 5% increase within the last hour, reaching $90,120 at 10:28 AM UTC, and the trading volume surged by 20% to $45 billion over the previous 24 hours (CoinMarketCap, 2025). This price movement led to a ripple effect across other major cryptocurrencies, with Ethereum (ETH) gaining 3.5% to reach $4,800 at 10:30 AM UTC, and Binance Coin (BNB) increasing by 4.2% to $650 at the same time (CoinGecko, 2025). The market's reaction suggests a strong bullish sentiment, with traders likely to capitalize on the momentum to push BTC towards the $100,000 mark. The Fear and Greed Index, which measures market sentiment, rose to 78 (extreme greed) at 10:45 AM UTC, up from 72 the previous day (Alternative.me, 2025). Additionally, the options market saw a significant uptick in call options for BTC, with the open interest for calls expiring in the next month increasing by 15% to $2.5 billion at 10:50 AM UTC, reflecting bullish bets on future price increases (Deribit, 2025). The implied volatility for BTC options also jumped by 10% to 65% at 11:00 AM UTC, signaling heightened expectations for price swings (Skew, 2025).

Technical indicators further reinforce the bullish outlook for Bitcoin. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for BTC/USD climbed to 75 at 10:30 AM UTC, indicating strong momentum but also nearing overbought territory (TradingView, 2025). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bullish crossover at 10:25 AM UTC, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, suggesting continued upward price movement (TradingView, 2025).

In the context of AI developments, the recent announcement by NVIDIA on March 1, 2025, about a new AI chip that enhances crypto mining efficiency has had a direct impact on AI-related tokens (NVIDIA, 2025). Tokens like Render Token (RNDR) and Theta Token (THETA) saw a 10% increase in value within 24 hours of the announcement, reaching $10 and $5 respectively at 10:30 AM UTC (CoinGecko, 2025). The correlation between these AI tokens and major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH was evident, with RNDR and THETA moving in tandem with the broader market surge.
