The week of 2023-03-13 was the week after Silicon Valley Bank collapsed. Nothing in between — not the spot-ETF approval week in 2024, not the 2025 rallies — topped this week's number.
What Binance Square is saying
(Paraphrased, not our view.) Popular posts attribute the move to a combination of Treasury buybacks, a weaker dollar, improving regulatory expectations and a short squeeze; many watch resistance around 79,000–82,000 and want to see it hold before chasing; others call sustained ETF inflows the key signal for a squeeze turning into a trend.
What a week like this means
- Spot DCA: a week like this is exactly when you do nothing. Your cost basis was built over months, not this week.
- Futures: a 20%+ week liquidates both sides — high-leverage shorts couldn't survive Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and short covering was part of the fuel; high-leverage longs opened near 79,556 felt Saturday's 1.1% pullback.
- "Best week" is a backward-looking statement, not a forward signal.
The one thing futures traders should check: fees
Volume explodes in weeks like this, and fees scale with volume. Binance Futures default tier: taker 0.05%, maker 0.02%; BNB fee payment takes 10% off; a rebate-link account gets 20% back. At 500,000 USDT monthly volume, all taker: 250 USDT in fees, 200 USDT after the 20% rebate. That 50 USDT is the part you control.
