On March 5, independent crypto market analyst Axel Adler highlighted a significant change in Bitcoin's market regime score. According to BlockBeats, the score improved from a yearly low of -47 on February 7 to +0.98 by March 4, marking a crossover of the zero axis. This recovery was faster than previous instances in November 2025 and August, where the scores were -37 and -35, respectively, taking longer to rebound.
The analyst emphasized that the normalization of funding rates, along with Bitcoin maintaining a price above $70,000, will be crucial for the regime score to continue moving into bullish territory. This would require traders to actively open long positions.
Additionally, the price structure indicator rose from +0.07 to +0.57 between March 2 and March 4, also crossing the zero axis and aligning positively with the market regime score. This is the first time since January that both indicators have coincided, a period that saw subsequent price increases of 7-8%. The analyst suggests that the current alignment of these independent methodologies indicates a structural shift rather than a temporary short squeeze, offering a more synchronized confirmation compared to the delayed pattern observed in January.
