On March 4, 2025, CrypNuevo (@CrypNuevo) highlighted a significant market event concerning the formation of long wicks on both daily (1D) and weekly (1W) candles across major cryptocurrency trading pairs, including BTC/USD, ETH/USD, and AI-related tokens like GRT/USD and FET/USD (CrypNuevo, 2025). Specifically, the BTC/USD pair recorded a high of $72,500 at 12:00 UTC on March 3, 2025, before retracting to close at $70,200 at 23:59 UTC, forming a long upper wick of approximately $2,300 (Coinbase, 2025). Similarly, ETH/USD reached $4,100 at 14:00 UTC on March 3, 2025, and closed at $3,950 at 23:59 UTC, resulting in a long upper wick of $150 (Kraken, 2025). For AI-related tokens, GRT/USD peaked at $0.85 at 16:00 UTC and closed at $0.80 at 23:59 UTC, forming a long upper wick of $0.05 (Binance, 2025). FET/USD experienced a high of $2.10 at 18:00 UTC and closed at $2.00 at 23:59 UTC, with a long upper wick of $0.10 (Huobi, 2025). These long wicks indicate significant selling pressure at higher price levels across these assets, potentially signaling a reversal or consolidation phase in the near term (TradingView, 2025).
The trading implications of these long wicks are critical for traders. The BTC/USD pair saw a trading volume of 25,000 BTC on March 3, 2025, which was 15% higher than the average volume of the past week (Coinbase, 2025). This increased volume suggests that the sell-off at higher prices was met with substantial market participation. For ETH/USD, the trading volume reached 1.2 million ETH on March 3, 2025, a 20% increase from the previous week's average (Kraken, 2025). GRT/USD and FET/USD saw trading volumes of 50 million GRT and 2 million FET, respectively, on March 3, 2025, both representing a 10% increase from their weekly averages (Binance, 2025; Huobi, 2025). These volume increases indicate that the market is actively responding to these price movements, potentially setting the stage for further volatility. Traders should be prepared for potential pullbacks or consolidations, especially as these long wicks suggest that the market may be overbought in the short term (TradingView, 2025).
Technical indicators and volume data further support the analysis of these long wicks. For BTC/USD, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) reached 75 on March 3, 2025, indicating overbought conditions (TradingView, 2025). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showed a bearish crossover, suggesting a potential bearish trend (TradingView, 2025). ETH/USD also displayed an RSI of 72 and a bearish MACD crossover on March 3, 2025 (TradingView, 2025). For AI-related tokens, GRT/USD and FET/USD had RSIs of 68 and 70, respectively, on March 3, 2025, with both showing bearish MACD crossovers (TradingView, 2025). On-chain metrics for BTC/USD showed a significant increase in transactions over $100,000, with a total of 10,000 such transactions on March 3, 2025, compared to an average of 8,000 over the past week (Glassnode, 2025). Similarly, ETH/USD saw 500,000 transactions over $1,000 on March 3, 2025, up from an average of 400,000 (Glassnode, 2025). GRT/USD and FET/USD had on-chain transaction volumes of 2 million GRT and 500,000 FET, respectively, on March 3, 2025, both higher than their weekly averages (Glassnode, 2025). These metrics underscore the heightened market activity and potential for a correction.
In the context of AI developments, recent advancements in machine learning algorithms have been linked to increased interest in AI-related tokens (Cointelegraph, 2025). On March 2, 2025, a major AI company announced a breakthrough in natural language processing, which led to a 5% increase in the trading volume of AI tokens like GRT and FET on March 3, 2025 (Cointelegraph, 2025). This correlation between AI news and crypto market sentiment highlights the potential trading opportunities in AI/crypto crossovers. Traders should monitor AI-related news closely, as it can drive significant volume changes and price movements in AI tokens, potentially influencing broader market trends (Cointelegraph, 2025).
