The Nasdaq 100 index entered a technical correction on March 27, down 11% from its peak, mainly due to declines in tech giant stock prices and investors' diminished confidence in the market outlook.

Solana (SOL) fell back to $87 after failing at the resistance level of $93, with a daily decline of 5.7%. The market is paying attention to the support zone between $82 and $91; if it breaks down, a new round of declines may begin. Meanwhile, technical indicators suggest a weak medium to long-term trend, but the fundamentals remain strong. Short-term performance depends on the support zone; if it is lost, watch for levels at $53 and $35 below.

Global market performance looks stable on the surface, but internal imbalances remain. Geopolitical risks still exist. Countries are withdrawing liquidity and stabilizing their domestic currencies through different measures; the inflation logic has shifted somewhat, and a strengthening U.S. dollar reflects liquidity being withdrawn.

On March 26, 2026, from 17:45 to 18:00 (UTC), Bitcoin (BTC) experienced a -0.69% return within 15 minutes, with a price range of $68,385.8 to $68,956.2 USDT and an amplitude of 0.83%. Short-term volatility increased, market attention rapidly heightened, showing concentrated downward pressure. The main driver of this movement was the approaching options expiration, with related position investors adjusting short-term holdings in response to the "maximum pain" zone ($75,000–$80,000), combined with the put/call ratio of options.

Chainlink (LINK) experienced its first bullish candle in March 2026 after six months of decline, indicating an improvement in market sentiment. Whales and medium-sized holder addresses continue to add positions, and institutional demand remains steadily increasing, suggesting a growing willingness for medium- to long-term capital accumulation. Reduced supply and increased on-chain accumulation alleviate selling pressure. LINK is approaching a key support zone; holding this level could signal a reversal. However, macroeconomic uncertainties may still limit the upside potential.
