BTC Rises 0.79% in 15 Minutes: On-Chain Large Capital Inflows and Favorable Macro Policies Drive Market Upswing

BTC0,18%

From 15:15 to 15:30 (UTC) on March 12, 2026, Bitcoin recorded a +K line return of 0.79%, with the price fluctuating between 69,702.5 and 70,428.9 USDT, with an amplitude of 1.04%. During this period, trading activity was high, market attention increased significantly, and short-term volatility intensified.

The main drivers of this movement are large on-chain fund flows and increased institutional participation. During the same period, multiple large transfers of over 1,000 BTC flowed into exchange cold wallets, with whale addresses concentrating on buying. At the same time, stablecoins like USDT were injected into mainstream platforms, indicating new capital is accelerating deployment. Additionally, spot market trading volume expanded, and long positions in perpetual contracts increased simultaneously. Funding rates in derivatives markets turned positive, and implied volatility in short-term options rebounded, collectively supporting the rapid rise of BTC.

Furthermore, favorable macro policy factors contributed to the resonance. The Federal Reserve announced at 14:30 (UTC) that the benchmark interest rate would remain steady. US CPI inflation data came in below expectations, causing the US dollar index to decline afterward, boosting market risk appetite. Meanwhile, mainstream media reports about major asset management firms planning to increase holdings of BTC spot ETFs spread, along with positive developments in the Ethereum ecosystem leading sector rotation. Short-term capital and sentiment resonance drove the market higher. Social media discussion activity increased noticeably, with FOMO sentiment spreading. Retail investors chased gains and took profits at high levels, leading to a surge in activity.

It is important to be cautious, as the short-term volatility is driven by high-frequency arbitrage and quantitative traders, increasing market uncertainty. Without sustained buying pressure, BTC may face a correction. It is recommended to monitor key support levels, trading volume dynamics, and on-chain fund flows closely, paying attention to macro news and their marginal impact on sentiment. Be alert to sudden policy shocks and enhance short-term risk management. For more movement updates, timely follow mainstream market data and on-chain indicators.
