In the second week of March, mention trends span DeFi, infrastructure, and specific narratives, without a single sector dominating – a balanced setup typically seen during accumulation phases.

DeFi remains a core focus ($AAVE, $CRV), with attention on liquidity and yield strategies ($KMNO, $MPLX), alongside infrastructure plays like $ZK. This aligns with how the market is evolving into 2026, with growing momentum around AI integration and $ZK technologies.

Rotation is also visible, with capital moving out of hype-driven projects like $PI Network (one of the weakest performers in the CMC top 100) into more established segments, without sharp dislocations or signs of overheating – similar to late 2023, just before a strong impulsive move.

The overall ‘green backdrop’ is broadly distributed, signaling market stabilization ahead of a potential next leg.
