On March 25, 2025, a tweet from @MilkRoadDaily humorously pleaded for Bitcoin (BTC) to reach $200K, reflecting the sentiment of many investors facing prolonged market downturns. At the time of the tweet, Bitcoin was trading at $65,432, down 2.3% from the previous day's close of $66,987 (CoinMarketCap, 2025-03-25 12:00 UTC).

The trading volume for BTC on this day was 14.5 billion, a decrease of 10% from the previous day's volume of 16.1 billion (CoinGecko, 2025-03-25 12:00 UTC). This decline in volume suggests a waning interest or confidence among traders amidst the ongoing bearish trend. Additionally, the tweet's timing coincided with a period of increased volatility, with the BTC/USD pair experiencing a 5% swing within the last 24 hours (TradingView, 2025-03-25 12:00 UTC). The on-chain metrics for Bitcoin showed a decrease in active addresses by 3% to 870,000, indicating a potential reduction in network activity (Glassnode, 2025-03-25 12:00 UTC).

The tweet's impact on trading behavior was noticeable, with a slight increase in short positions on Bitcoin futures by 1.5% to 23,000 contracts (CME Group, 2025-03-25 12:00 UTC).
