Crypto analyst Crypto Patel has predicted that the BNB price could break $3,000, marking a new all-time high (ATH) for the Binance-linked coin. The analyst shared a game plan for exactly how this move is expected to play out by 2028. How The BNB Price Rally To $3,000 Could Play Out In an X post, Crypto Patel said that the BNB price could drop to $400 before hitting $3,000. The analyst noted that the altcoin has bounced perfectly from the near 0.5 Fib Retracement level and now climbed 21%. As to what is next for BNB, he said that if price holds above the 0.5 Fib level, then a new ATH setup would be in play.

The analyst said his personal target for BNB is $3,000, which he believes could be reached during the altcoin season. However, he reiterated that he won’t be surprised if a retest of $400 comes before the massive run to $3,000. The BNB price, along with the broader crypto market, is currently facing downward pressure due to the U.S.-Iran war, which is entering its fourth week. Crypto prices had crashed yesterday as oil prices rose to new highs after Iran and Israel attacked key energy sites in the Middle East. Escalating tensions are raising concerns that the war could drive inflation higher, which is bearish for the BNB price and the broader crypto market. Analyst Says BNB Seeing A Notable Shift In Structure In an X post, crypto analyst CryptoPulse noted that the BNB price is showing a notable shift in structure. This came as he revealed that price attempted a breakout to the upside but failed after trading within an ascending channel. The analyst added that BNB has now broken below the lower bound of this ascending channel. CryptoPulse warned that if this level turns into resistance, further downside pressure could follow.

He noted that the altcoin was holding up relatively well and that the price hasn’t made a significant move yet. The analyst also revealed that the token was holding above a key confluence, a bullish FVG, and the 0.618 Fibonacci level. As long as the price holds above $610, Batman said BNB could still rally. At the time of writing, the BNB price is trading at around $642, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

In the latest Cointelegraph interview, professional trader Alessio Rastani warns that Bitcoin could fall below $60,000 before a meaningful bottom forms.
Tom Lee used a Hong Kong conference stage to argue that Ethereum may be close to a cyclical turn, pointing to historical market analogs and on-chain cost-basis data that, in his view, suggest the selloff has reached exhaustion. Speaking at the 3rd Futu Expo 2026 in Hong Kong on March 13–14, Lee said Bitmine advisor Tom DeMark had identified a striking resemblance between Ethereum’s recent price action and two major S&P 500 declines: the 1987 crash and the 2011 selloff. Lee described the setup as unusually tight. Is The Ethereum Bottom In? “Tom DeMark, he’s a legendary market timer, and he’s provided an analysis to us that says Ethereum, in the last few months, especially since October, is really mirroring what happened to the S&P 500 in 2011 and what happened to the S&P 500 in 1987,” Lee said. “If you were involved in US markets, both times marked major declines in the S&P. Well, according to him, there’s a 93% correlation to what Ethereum’s doing today to what the S&P did in 1987.” Related Reading: Ethereum Enters High-Leverage Regime As Binance Exposure Crosses 75% That comparison is doing a lot of work in Lee’s argument. If the 1987 analog holds, he said, Ethereum would have already bottomed on March 7. If the 2011 comparison is the better fit, the market is bottoming now. In either case, Lee’s conclusion was the same: “So using his analysis, we think we’re at the bottom or exiting the crypto winter now.” He did not leave the case resting on chart symmetry alone. Lee also pointed to Ethereum’s realized price, the on-chain metric that estimates the average acquisition cost of coins based on their last movement on the blockchain. In his telling, that figure now sits at $2,241 for ETH, giving investors a way to judge how deeply underwater the average holder has become. Lee said the pattern at prior lows is revealing. In 2022, Ethereum fell to a 39% discount to realized price. In 2025, the discount reached 21% before ETH turned higher. “Currently, we’re at 22%,” he said, adding that the market is now sitting in roughly the same zone where last year’s reversal began. “So we’re at the level where in 2025, Ethereum started to turn higher.” Related Reading: Bitwise Found What’s Really Driving Ethereum Price, And It’s Not Fundamentals In other words, Lee’s thesis is that Ethereum does not need a pristine macro backdrop or a fresh narrative cycle to stabilize; it only needs to revisit the kind of holder pain that has historically marked exhaustion. By his measure, that threshold is already here. TOM LEE: THE ETHEREUM BOTTOM IS IN ‼️ Bitmine x TOM DEMARK mapped ETH against past S&P 500 crash recoveries. The structure now closely matches 1987 and 2011, both major cycle bottoms. ???? 93% correlation to 1987 ???? Match to 2011 bottom ???? Realized price: $2,241 ???? ETH ~22%… pic.twitter.com/62TZscjChe — BMNR Bullz (@BMNRBullz) March 19, 2026 He also tried to zoom out from the immediate drawdown and re-anchor ETH in a longer time horizon. “Before you lose any hope, keep in mind that over the last 10 years, Ethereum has outperformed every other asset class over the past decade,” Lee said. “In the last 10 years, Ethereum’s return is 49,000%. That means almost 490 times your money.” Lee contrasted that with Bitcoin’s 11,000% gain over the same span and even with Nvidia, which he called “the single best stock in the US,” saying it had returned 65 times investors’ money. At press time, ETH traded at $2,147. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

The Bitcoin price has broken below a legendary support level that had stood strong for 14 years, marking a major moment for the cryptocurrency. Market expert Crypto Tice has released a new analysis detailing the significance of this breach, warning of potential risks and a possible price shift. The recent downturn follows BTC’s latest surge after it cleared previous resistance levels, which pushed its price back toward the $75,000 region. Bitcoin Price Falls Below 14-Year Support Level Sharing a price chart clearly illustrating the 14-year support on X, Crypto Tice emphasized that this trendline was far more than just another technical level, underscoring its strong significance. He explained that this line has historically defined every major Bitcoin bull market, consistently separating periods of robust price growth from phases with sharp declines. Furthermore, he noted, it has never broken without triggering major consequences. Related Reading: Pundit Who Predicted Ethereum Price Bottom Reveals What To Expect Next The analyst went on to highlight that Bitcoin’s recent break below the support signals that the market can no longer rely on the patterns that once guided investor behavior. Once a support level of this magnitude fails, market volatility typically spikes as traders reassess their positions and liquidity shifts in search of new equilibrium zones. He also observed that weaker hands are often forced out as more experienced investors take a patient stance, waiting for stability before making their next move. Crypto Tice further explained that while Bitcoin could eventually reclaim the long-term trendline support, the market remains in risk-management mode until that happens. He warned that ignoring a broken macro-support is not a sign of conviction but a form of denial. Moreover, history shows that overlooking these foundational levels often leads to sharp sell-offs and accelerated Bitcoin repricing. The analyst noted that this reinforces the need to respect these types of structural chart signals rather than merely holding for a price rebound. While the overall implications of Crypto Tice’s analysis point to further declines and increased volatility in Bitcoin, some members of the crypto community view the latest trendline break differently. One market analyst argued that rather than a signal of imminent collapse, breaking a 14-year support mark is an evolution in Bitcoin’s market structure. He explained that when historic levels like this fail, it often reflects the exhaustion of old patterns, not the start of a recession. The analyst concluded that new frameworks tend to emerge from those that have broken.

CoinMarketCap data shows the decline is ongoing, with no immediate signs of stabilizing. Notably, the latest decline has been driven primarily by a hawkish Federal Reserve (FED) outlook amid rising geopolitical tensions. Reports indicate that investor sentiment shifted sharply, turning risk-off following the latest FED warning. In addition, a surge in whale sell-offs and a wave of leveraged long liquidations have put significant pressure on the Bitcoin price. Featured image created with Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Its stock market cap sits at just $66 million. That spread is not a typo. The Bitcoin in DDC’s treasury is worth more than two and a half times the company’s publicly traded value. A Steady Drip Of Weekly Purchases DDC did not get here overnight. Since January 2026, the Hong Kong-based firm has added around 1,200 BTC to its holdings — more than doubling what it owned at the start of the year. Early in January, it was buying about 200 BTC per week. That pace slowed to roughly 100 BTC weekly through February. The latest purchase, announced March 19, adds another 200 BTC at an average price of $79,969 per coin. ????

It now ranks 32nd among publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin worldwide. CEO and founder Norma Chu has been direct about the strategy. “Every additional Bitcoin we add is a statement about where we think long-term value is heading,” she said in the announcement. Original Target Still Out Of Reach DDC set an ambitious goal of holding 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025. It didn’t come close. The company closed out last year with 1,183 BTC — well short of the mark. To fund purchases, DDC has relied on stock sales and equity raises rather than cash from its food operations. In mid-2025, it filed with the SEC to raise $528 million, most of it earmarked for Bitcoin buying. Bitcoin itself has had a rough stretch recently. The token dropped briefly to $68,800 during early trading Thursday before recovering to around $70,244 — a far cry from its all-time high of $126,000 reached in October 2025. DDC has continued buying through the slide.

TradFi is taking another step into fully embracing bitcoin as an asset. Morgan Stanley is creating its own Bitcoin investment fund that will trade on the stock market like a regular exchange‑traded fund (ETF) share. To get it started, the lender is putting in about $1 million of its own money as seed capital. Related Reading: Legendary Bitcoin Trader Says HYPE Will Soar To $150, Here’s Why A TradFi Bitcoin Trust Morgan Stanley has filed another amended S‑1/A for the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (MSBT), confirming ticker MSBT on NYSE Arca. The bank outlined the ticker symbol in a new submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, revising the Bitcoin fund proposal it first filed in January. The Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust would be the first spot Bitcoin ETF not just distribute but directly issued by a major U.S. bank. It would also mark the first time that the seed basket cash will be used to acquire spot BTC before trading begins. We are talking about a 50,000‑share seed basket and roughly $1 million in initial capital. The trust is set to hold bitcoin via custodians (Coinbase Custody and BNY Mellon under the broader ETF plan), with assets stored primarily in cold storage, and shares reflecting the underlying BTC held. Once it launches, regular investors (especially Morgan Stanley clients) will be able to buy and sell MSBT through their normal brokerage accounts, getting regulated, brokerage‑account exposure to bitcoin’s price without touching self‑custody or spot exchanges directly. The trust will also to support both cash and in‑kind creations/redemptions, giving authorized participants (APs) flexibility, just like the main spot Bitcoin ETFs that launched in 2024 Trading And Risk Assessment However, it is worth noting custodians are not FDIC‑insured. This means that if something goes wrong (hack, theft, failure), you don’t have the government safety net that protects U.S. bank deposits up to a certain amount. Besides that, insurance is through private policies, and the ETF still faces market, regulatory and operational risk, especially in a crowded field dominated by BlackRock’s IBIT and other early movers.

Fiat On-Ramp Lets Anyone Trade With Bank Card Morgan Stanley already holds hundreds of millions in existing BTC ETFs and is building a broader crypto stack (Ethereum and Solana filings, trust‑bank application for custody, advisor access to BTC products). A bank‑issued MSBT product could normalize bitcoin exposure for traditional wealth‑management clients, strengthen the “Bitcoin as strategic asset” narrative, and extend the institutional ETF cycle. MSBT’s launch timeline, fee level and early inflows will be key sentiment catalysts. Strong demand could reinforce BTC’s ETF‑driven structural bid, while a lukewarm debut would signal saturation in the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF trade.
