March 18, 2026 - March 21, 2026, the 'December 31, 2026' price surged from 38.5c to 49c, driven by Bitcoin reclaiming the $70,000 psychological level after a brief dip to $68,000 on March 19, which alleviated immediate fears of a deeper cycle crash and restored speculative confidence in asset appreciation.
March 2, 2026 - March 5, 2026, the 'December 31, 2026' price plunged from 73.5c to 51.5c, driven by the market digesting Bitcoin's breakdown below the $80,000 support level (now ~$70k) and the absence of any game-changing sovereign purchase announcements.
February 28, 2026 - March 2, 2026, the 'December 31, 2026' price surged from 43c to 73.5c, likely fueled by social media rumors regarding 'Bitcoin Law Anniversary' buys and a brief technical bounce, leading to temporary retail FOMO.
