The 6.8% correction liquidated $230 million in bullish BTC futures positions and largely followed the declining momentum in the US stock market, as the S&amp;P 500 futures fell to their lowest levels since March 14.<p>Despite struggling to hold above $82,000 on March 31, four key indicators point to strong investor confidence and potential signs of Bitcoin decoupling from traditional markets in the near future.</p><figure><img src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2025-03/0195ed4a-05b9-7858-b86b-f644623ce91c" title="" alt="4 key Bitcoin metrics suggest $80K BTC price is a discount"><figcaption style="text-align: center;"><p><em>S&amp;P 500 index futures (left) vs. Bitcoin/USD (right).

According to Yahoo News, Goldman Sachs strategists <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/not-currently-priced-in-what-wall-street-is-saying-about-trumps-april-tariff-deadline-130002337.html" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">cut</a> the firm&rsquo;s year-end S&amp;P 500 target for the second time, lowering it from 6,200 to 5,700. Similarly, Barclays analysts reduced their forecast from 6,600 to 5,900.</p><p>Regardless of the reasons behind investors&rsquo; heightened risk perception, gold surged to a record high above $3,100 on March 31. The $21 trillion asset is widely considered the ultimate hedge, especially when traders prioritize alternatives over cash. Meanwhile, the <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-price-all-time-highs-historically-linked-to-us-dollar-index-declines-analyst" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">US dollar has weakened</a> against a basket of foreign currencies, with the DXY index dropping to 104.10 from 107.60 in February.</p><h2>Bitcoin metrics show strength, while long-term investors are&nbsp;unfazed</h2><p>Bitcoin&rsquo;s narratives of being &ldquo;<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-s-digital-gold-claim-challenged-as-traders-move-into-bonds-and-gold-hits-new-highs" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">digital gold</a>&rdquo; and an &ldquo;uncorrelated asset&rdquo; are being questioned, despite a 36% gain over 6 months while the S&amp;P 500 index fell 3.5% during the same period. Several Bitcoin metrics continued to show strength, indicating that long-term investors remain unfazed by the temporary correlation as central banks pivot to expansionist measures to prevent an economic crisis.</p><p>Bitcoin's mining hashrate, which measures the computing power behind the network&rsquo;s block validation mechanism, reached an all-time high.&nbsp;</p><figure><img src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2025-03/0195ed4a-0b33-7b63-88aa-e5815e2aee20" title="" alt="4 key Bitcoin metrics suggest $80K BTC price is a discount"><figcaption style="text-align: center;"><p><em>Bitcoin mining estimated 7-day average hashrate, TH/s.

Hence, there are no signs of panic selling from miners, as shown by the flow of known entities to exchanges.</p><p>In the past, BTC price downturns were associated with periods of FUD regarding the &ldquo;death spiral,&rdquo; where <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-halving-2024-miners-predict-potential-outcomes-of-reduced-btc-rewards" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">miners were forced to sell</a> when becoming unprofitable.

The reduced number of coins available for immediate trading typically indicates that investors are more inclined to hold, which is particularly significant as Bitcoin&rsquo;s price declined 5.1% in seven days.&nbsp;</p><p>Lastly, near-zero net outflows in US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) between March 27 and March 28 signal confidence from institutional investors.</p><p>In short, Bitcoin investors remain confident due to the record-high mining hashrate, corporate adoption, and six-year-low exchange reserves, which signal long-term holding.</p><p class="post-content__disclaimer" type="">This article is for general information purposes and is not intended to be and should not be taken as legal or investment advice.
