Shiba Inu is trading near a key support floor, and the numbers piling up on exchanges are giving traders reason to watch closely. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds As Gold Posts Worst Week Since 1983 Amid Iran War The token is currently changing hands at around $0.000005603, down roughly 1% over the past 24 hours, while a growing stockpile of coins on trading platforms signals that more selling pressure may be building. RSI Reading Points To A Market In Wait-And-See Mode The Relative Strength Index for SHIB sits at 55 — technically neutral territory, where neither bulls nor bears have a clear edge. That number tells a story on its own. Buyers aren’t charging in. Sellers aren’t panicking out. Both sides are watching. Meanwhile, trading volume has fallen 24% in 24 hours to roughly $120 million, which means the market is quieting down at exactly the wrong moment for SHIB holders hoping for a breakout. On-chain data from CryptoQuant shows that around 200 billion SHIB tokens have flowed into exchanges over a short window. When traders move tokens onto exchanges rather than keeping them in private wallets, it usually means they’re positioning to sell or shift holdings. Sitting against a total exchange reserve of about 80 trillion SHIB, 200 billion may look small. But with a supply this large, even small movements carry weight. Price Stuck Below A Wall At $0.000006403 SHIB has tried and failed multiple times to push past the $0.000006403 resistance mark. The most recent attempt came on March 16, when the price briefly spiked before getting knocked back down in a single session, pulling the token toward its current support at $0.0000056. The pattern forming on the daily chart is one of distribution — meaning holders appear to be gradually offloading tokens rather than accumulating more. Active addresses on the network did nudge up about 1% in the past day, a sign that users are still engaged. But that uptick in activity hasn’t translated into any upward move in price, which suggests demand simply isn’t keeping pace with the tokens being pushed onto the market.

If exchange inflows keep rising and buyers stay on the sidelines, that level could be tested sooner rather than later. Reports indicate the token remains in a consolidating phase with no clear catalyst visible to break it higher in the short term. What happens next depends largely on whether demand picks up fast enough to absorb the growing exchange supply. For now, the balance is tilting in one direction.

After a poor performance in the first two months of the year, the XRP price appears to have steadied its movement, rousing the hopes of relief among investors. However, the latest on-chain analysis suggests that the altcoin might not have hit its true local price bottom yet. Number Of Days Spent At A Profit Still Quite Low — Analyst In a recent post on the social media platform X, on-chain analyst Joao Wedson offered insights into the XRP market, saying the cryptocurrency is yet to enter the early phases of a price rebound, contrary to popular expectations. This on-chain hypothesis is based on data from the Number of Days Spent At A Profit metric. For context, this metric indicates how long current XRP holders have been in profit, relative to past price levels. As the name suggests, the indicator measures how many days have passed since XRP was last at a higher price. Related Reading: Solana Flashing Mixed Signals: $105 Breakout Or Double-Pair Collapse Ahead? According to Wedson, this metric has historically reached extreme levels at periods when the Number of Days At A Profit climbed to high levels. Notably, the case is quite different from the usual historical context, as the XRP price still trades significantly below these ‘hallmark’ zones. The market expert explained that this historical context suggests that the XRP price could see more downside movement in the near to mid-term. Furthermore, the analyst pointed out that this is the major prerequisite for the formation of historical patterns, which in turn precedes the formation of previous bottoms. XRP Ledger Records Expansion Across Multiple Wallet Sizes At the same time, blockchain analytics firm Santiment revealed that there has recently been a considerable amount of growth recorded in the XRP Ledger. Interestingly, much of this expansion is driven by a considerable increase in the number of small wallets holding XRP. The most notable growth has been from a cohort of investors typically referred to as ‘shrimps’ (with less than 100 XRP in their wallets). According to Santiment, these shrimp-wallets have added up to a total of about 5.66 million separate addresses, hence reflecting the widespread adoption of XRP by retailers and everyday users. Related Reading: Crypto Adoption No Longer Optional, Survey Finds As 72% Of Finance Leaders Signal Commitment At the same time, wallets containing between 100 and 100,000 XRP have also expanded in number, reaching an approximated amount of 2.01 million wallets. Because this group represents a mid-tier level of investors who make up a significant part of the network, this could mean that the XRP market has seen an inflow of more serious accumulators. While the amount of small wallets have displayed impressive expansions, the number of large-holder wallets have comparatively only recorded miniscule growth. Santiment revealed that these wallets with more than 100,000 XRP are capped at around 32,054. From this, it appears that this investor group has been involved mostly in distributions or repositioning events. With little influence from the whales driving XRP prices, it becomes more apparent that a local bottom may still be at lower prices. As of this writing, the XRP price stands at approximately $1.44, reflecting a 0.4% loss in the past day. Featured image by DALL-E, chart from TradingView

The price of Bitcoin has continued to hover around the $70,000 level this weekend, establishing a choppy structure above this psychological level. According to the latest on-chain data, a significant buy alarm has gone off for BTC, indicating the potential start of a bull market. Has BTC Price Reached Its Cycle Bottom? On Saturday, March 21, popular market analyst Ali Martinez took to the social media platform X to sound a bullish alarm for Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The crypto pundit posited that the market leader could be at the beginning of a period of extended upward movement. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Maintaining This Multi-Year Trendline, But A Crash Could Be Looming The rationale behind this bullish projection is the recent shift in the Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse (IFP) metric. The Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse is an on-chain indicator that measures BTC flows between spot and derivative exchanges using the Bitcoin exchange flow data. Changes in this on-chain metric are useful in determining whether investor sentiment in the Bitcoin market is bullish or bearish. Typically, the IFP indicator rises when significant amounts of BTC are being moved to derivative exchanges, suggesting a growing risk appetite and the potential imminence of a bullish period. The movement of the IFP (purple line) in relation to its 90-day moving average (broken lines) helps to identify price tops and bottoms while determining the potential long-term trend of the cryptocurrency. When the Inter-Exchange Flow Pulse crosses below its 90-day average, it signals a potential bear market and prolonged price downturn. As observed in the chart above, the IFP trended beneath the 90-day average early last year, suggesting that the current bear market started as far back as the first quarter of 2025. While the Bitcoin price initially ran up to a new all-time high above $126,000, the flagship cryptocurrency has since shaved off nearly 45% in value since the cycle peak. What’s more interesting, the price of Bitcoin appears to have hit its bottom, with the IFP crossing back above the 90-day average in recent weeks. As Martinez mentioned in his post on X, this crossover is a major buy signal that could suggest “big money is getting ready for a rally.” However, investors might want to approach the market with caution, especially considering that the IFP can sometimes be a leading indicator, meaning that the bullish effect on price might not reflect until later. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, BTC is valued at around $70,360, reflecting a 0.3% price increase in the past 24 hours.

Prominent market analyst and XRP enthusiast Egrag Crypto has shared another bullish prediction on the fourth-largest cryptocurrency, tipping a potential price surge to $22. This prediction comes amid a calm movement in the XRP market after prices suffered a rejection at the $1.60 price level earlier in the week. Related Reading: The Bear Market Divergence That Shows What’s Really Going On With Bitcoin XRP Set For Price Expansion Despite Pullback – Here’s Why In an X post on March 31, Egrag Crypto outlines a budding bullish pattern in the XRP market, highlighting key factors such as triggers, rationale, probability moves, and invalidation zones. The seasoned market expert shares an analysis of the XRPUSDT monthly chart, indicating that action over the last six years has now completed the formation of a bullish W pattern. XRP is presently in the second phase of this green structure, marked by a breakout that occurred in 2025, followed by the ongoing pullback that has occupied the market since October. During this time, XRP has declined by over 56%. However, Egrag has stated this represents a classic W pattern marked by breakout, pullback, and an eventual expansion. The 1st trigger for this expansion is that XRP must reclaim and hold above the $1.60-$1.80 region, which ensures the bullish structure remains intact. However, a decisive reclaim of $2.00 would represent confirmation of the expected bullish surge, with an initial target of $3.30, which opens the path to higher price levels upon a successful capture. In terms of final price targets, Egrag states a 25%-35% chance the bullish pattern plays out fully, driving XRP’s price to $22. On the conservative side, there is 50%-60% chance XRP peaks within the $3-$8 range, while chances for a failure or deeper reset stand around 10%-15%. Notably, this positive analysis is based on multiple factors, including the historical projection from typical W patterns following breakout from a recognized neckline, combined with macro cycle behavior. Related Reading: XRP Price Is Maintaining This Multi-Year Trendline, But A Crash Could Be Looming XRP Bullish Structure Hinges On Key $1.40 Support According to Egrag, the presented bullish pathway can be invalidated by multiple developments. One of which is the loss of the key support region between $1.40 -$1.20, causing the pullback to translate into a long-term downtrend. Other nullifying factors include a clear failure to reclaim the $2.00 region or a decline in market bullish momentum, creating a fake breakout. At the time of writing, XRP trades at $1.41, reflecting a 2.33% decline in the last 24 hours. Notably, the altcoin has recorded negligible changes on higher time frames, reporting a 0.61% gain and 0.35% loss on the weekly chart and monthly chart.
