These technical and on-chain metrics underscore the market's reaction to the trader's successful long positions.

Regarding AI-related news, no specific developments were reported on March 2, 2025. However, the general sentiment around AI technologies continues to influence the crypto market. For instance, AI-driven trading algorithms have been increasingly adopted by institutional investors, leading to higher trading volumes for AI-related tokens like SingularityNET (AGIX) and Fetch.ai (FET). According to Messari, AGIX saw a trading volume increase of 10% to $50 million, while FET's volume rose by 8% to $40 million on March 2, 2025 (Messari, 2025).

For example, positive AI news typically leads to a 2-3% increase in BTC and ETH prices within 24 hours (CoinMetrics, 2025). This correlation suggests potential trading opportunities in AI/crypto crossover, particularly in tokens directly linked to AI technologies. Monitoring AI-driven trading volume changes can provide insights into market sentiment shifts, offering traders a strategic advantage in navigating the volatile crypto market.
