Data shows social media mentions related to “altseason” have hit a low recently, something that has often been relevant for Dogecoin in the past. Altseason Social Volume Has Plummeted In a new post on X, analytics firm Santiment has talked about the latest trend in the Social Volume of “altseason.” The Social Volume refers to an indicator that tracks the weekly total number of posts/messages/threads on the major social media platforms that contain mentions of a given term or topic. Related Reading: Solana’s Next Major Support Levels Sit At $50, $22, And $10: Analyst Since Santiment has filtered the metric for altseason here, its value would provide a look into the amount of comments that are discussing the possibility of an altcoin season. As the below chart shows, this indicator’s value has declined recently, indicating that interest in the altcoin market has gone down. In the same graph, the analytics firm has also attached the data for the Dogecoin price. Santiment’s reasoning behind doing so is that “‘altseason’ is synonymous with FOMO and greed toward more speculative, emotionally driven assets like $DOGE, meme coins, or hyper-volatile and often mid to lower cap altcoins.” As such, the Social Volume of the term altseason can contain hints about interest around DOGE itself. Historically, digital asset markets have often tended to be affected by the sentiment among the retail crowd. The relationship between the two, however, has generally been an inverse one, meaning that hype can lead to tops while despair to bottoms. This same pattern has emerged in this chart as well. It would appear that a high value on the altseason Social Volume has been bearish for Dogecoin during the last two years, while low levels have acted as local bottom signals. With the recent decline in the altseason Social Volume, its value has dropped to an extreme low. Considering the past pattern, it’s possible that this market disinterest could allow the memecoin to rebound. It only remains to be seen, however, how Dogecoin and other altcoins will develop in the near future. Santiment has cautioned that the metric isn’t a perfect trading signal, noting that “disinterest in altcoins doesn’t always necessarily justify an imminent alt surge.” Related Reading: Bitcoin LTH Selling Cools: Is Months-Long Distribution Finally Ending? In related news, social media sentiment related to Bitcoin saw a sharp surge just before the asset’s Monday rally to levels near $70,000, as the analytics firm has highlighted in another X post. While Bitcoin initially rallied, that specific run fizzled out, which could be a potential consequence of it being fueled by retail greed.

The Bitcoin and Ethereum prices plunged sharply over the weekend as missiles flew across the Middle East, exposing just how quickly geopolitical crises can send shockwaves through the financial markets. A joint US and Israel strike on Iran triggered a violent selloff that wiped out billions of dollars from the crypto market in a matter of hours. Fresh reports now indicate that Bitcoin and Ethereum are beginning to recover. Still, with geopolitical tensions continuing to escalate, it remains uncertain whether this renewed momentum can be sustained. Bitcoin Price Recovers After US-Israel War Fueled Crash Geopolitical shockwaves rattled global financial markets this past weekend as a joint US and Israeli military operation against Iran sent Bitcoin into a sharp but brief decline, wiping out millions of dollars in long positions before a partial recovery took hold. Notably, BTC plummeted to nearly $63,000 overnight following the coordinated strikes on Iranian military targets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Has Officially Entered Bearish Territory, And It’s Headed To $35,000; Chart Shows Within 45 minutes of Israel launching its assault, Bitcoin shed $2,500 in value, while more than $200 million worth of long positions were liquidated in just one hour. The broader crypto market saw roughly $72 billion wiped out amid the chaos. The sell-off was swift and severe, with major exchange players including Binance, Coinbase, and trading firm Winternute offloading more than $3.5 billion in Bitcoin within a 20-minute window. This further added downward pressure to the already declining and volatile market. Despite the carnage, Bitcoin has since climbed back above $66,000, according to CoinMarketCap data, though volatility remains elevated as the Middle East conflict shows no signs of immediate resolution. Market analysts were quick to explain the technical reasons behind BTC’s price decline. One expert noted that Bitcoin did not crash for no reason. She explained that because it was the most accessible and highest volume asset that trades around the clock, it was significantly exposed to weekend fear and panic selling compared to other major asset classes. Ethereum Price Rebounds After Massive Sell-Off Ethereum also took a hit alongside Bitcoin following news of the US-Israel war. ETH dropped roughly 10% within just one hour of the news breaking, falling below $1,900 and erasing all the gains it had made when it briefly touched $2,000 last week. At its lowest point, Ethereum fell to around $1,850 before rebounding back above $1,950. Related Reading: Are Institutions Killing Bitcoin And Ethereum? Here’s How They’ve Fared Since Companies Got Involved Notably, the crash triggered sharp declines in Ethereum derivatives markets, with millions of dollars in liquidations. A large percentage of those liquidations came from long positions, suggesting that traders who had bet on Ethereum rising were hit the hardest. In the broader context, the Ethereum price was already experiencing a downturn, meaning the geopolitical shock had compounded an already painful downtrend for ETH holders. In addition to Ethereum, other altcoins, such as XRP, saw major sell-offs as geopolitical tensions rose. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
Ethereum price enters March under pressure, and the Ethereum price crash narrative is quickly gaining traction across the market.

Amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and broader risk-off sentiment across crypto markets, the Solana price is once again under pressure and has slipped toward a critical support zone. At the same time, a higher-timeframe “sell” signal has emerged on the monthly chart, raising fresh concerns about downside continuation. The question now is …
Global markets are falling again. Escalating war tensions have pushed investors toward safer assets, resulting in sharp swings across equities, commodities, and crypto.

XRP has had a rough few months. After touching a high of roughly $3.66 in mid-2025, the token has since pulled back sharply, recently hovering around $1.30. That is a steep drop by any measure. Related Reading: Crypto Mixing Is Back — And Criminals Adapted Faster Than The Rules Did But one widely followed crypto commentator is not backing down from a bold long-term call — and his argument rests entirely on what he sees in the charts. A Chart That Points Higher, Way Higher The analyst, known on X as CryptoBull, posted a monthly XRP/USD chart showing what he described as a multi-year consolidation pattern followed by a fresh breakout attempt heading into 2026. His conclusion was blunt: a move to $50 looks like a “natural and normal” extension of the current structure. “No matter your feelings,” he wrote, “the chart says $50.” Based on reports, CryptoBull has been building this case for some time, and the $50 figure is not pulled out of thin air — it falls squarely within the $28 to $70 target band he had previously laid out using higher timeframe analysis. You can’t tell me that #XRP to $50 is not a very natural and normal looking chart. No matter your feelings, the chart says $50. pic.twitter.com/QHfBOPQ3hg — CryptoBull (@CryptoBull2020) February 14, 2026 At current prices, a run to $50 would mean gains of more than 3,500%. That is a big number. But CryptoBull has been consistent in pushing back against the even wilder figures that circulate in XRP circles. He has publicly rejected price targets of $1,000 or $10,000, calling them unsupported by any credible chart structure. By his own standards, $50 is the measured, reasonable call. For context, a $28 XRP price would put its total market value near $1.7 trillion. At $70, that figure climbs above $4 trillion. Extreme? Yes. But far more grounded than the multi-hundred-trillion valuations implied by some of the more outlandish targets floating around online. History As A Reference Point CryptoBull has also pointed to XRP’s own track record to support his thesis. Reports say he reminded his followers that XRP once surged 3,500% — climbing from $0.11 all the way to $3.65 in a single market cycle. Related Reading: Bitcoin In The Line Of Fire: Price Dips To $63k As US, Israel Launch Strikes On Iran Using that as a baseline, he suggested that a 2,000% expansion from current levels toward $28 is plausible in this cycle. A move to $50 would actually exceed that, coming in closer to the 3,500% range — roughly matching the scale of that earlier historic run. $XRP‘s measured move target above $15 goes unchanged! The breakout that took place in late 2024 hints at another 10X (>900% Increase) being possible to those price levels… pic.twitter.com/dbuZFcVCvj — JAVON⚡️MARKS (@JavonTM1) February 25, 2026 Other analysts have echoed a similarly constructive view. Javon Marks has maintained that his measured price target above $15 remains unchanged, citing the same late-2024 breakout structure that CryptoBull references. Korean Elliott Wave analyst XForceGlobal has also weighed in, saying XRP’s chart looks strong after the token revisited its previous all-time high zone and fully retraced toward the $1 area — a reset he believes can come before a powerful upward move.

Ethereum users may soon interact with the blockchain in ways that were not possible before. According to co-founder Vitalik Buterin, native smart accounts — a feature that has been in the works for over a decade — are now expected to arrive within the year as part of the network’s upcoming Hegota upgrade. Related Reading: Bitcoin In The Line Of Fire: Price Dips To $63k As US, Israel Launch Strikes On Iran Privacy Tools Stand To Benefit Most For privacy-focused users, this shift could matter more than most people realize. Protocols like Railgun have long depended on middlemen called “public broadcasters” to push transactions through. These go-betweens have been a persistent source of headaches for users. Reports say Buterin wants to remove them entirely by replacing that system with a general-purpose public memory pool — cutting out the intermediary and putting more control directly in the hands of the user. His words were direct: “Intermediary minimization is a core principle of non-ugly cypherpunk Ethereum — maximize what you can do even if all the world’s infrastructure except the Ethereum chain itself goes down.” That is a strong statement. And it signals just how seriously the Ethereum team takes self-sufficiency at the protocol level. Now, account abstraction. We have been talking about account abstraction ever since early 2016, see the original EIP-86: https://t.co/HYLSTLHgWH Now, we finally have EIP-8141 ( https://t.co/jYqeS55j6P ), an omnibus that wraps up and solves every remaining problem that AA was… — vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) February 28, 2026 A Decade In The Making Buterin acknowledged the long road to get here. He pointed out that account abstraction has been discussed since early 2016. Now, with EIP-8141 bundled into the Hegota fork, the goal is to finally tie up every problem the concept was originally meant to fix — and then some. The Ethereum Foundation’s public roadmap, called the “Strawmap,” places native account abstraction in the second half of 2026. The technical approach being proposed centers on what Buterin calls “frame transactions.” Rather than a transaction being one single action, it becomes a series of frames. Each frame can point to another’s data, and each can authorize a sender or a gas payer. One frame handles the signature check. Another handles execution. It is modular by design and built to be broadly useful. This also means paying transaction fees without holding ETH becomes possible. Users could pay in other tokens through a paymaster contract or a specialized exchange that supplies ETH on the spot — no third party needed. Related Reading: Vitalik Buterin Lays Out A Plan To Make Ethereum 1,000 Times More Capable Quantum Resistance Also In Scope The Hegota upgrade is not stopping at smart accounts. Buterin also rolled out a separate quantum resistance roadmap earlier in the week, identifying four areas of concern: validator signatures, data storage, user account signatures, and zero-knowledge proofs. Existing accounts are expected to fit into the new framework without being left behind, gaining access to batch operations and transaction sponsorship along the way. After 10 years of promises, the pieces finally appear to be falling into place. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
