THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to hold the $74,000-$75,000 area, an analyst suggested that the flagship crypto could see another 10% rally toward a key area, but warned that this level could be the ceiling. Related Reading: BNB Chain’s RWA Value Tops $3.5 Billion As Global Ecosystem Grows Bitcoin Double Bottom Breakout Targets Key Level In a Wednesday analysis, crypto analyst Rekt Capital shared an outlook for Bitcoin’s potential rally, as it holds the $73,000-$74,000 area as support for the first time in a month. The analyst highlighted that BTC’s price continues to move between its 2021 and 2024 all-time highs (ATHs), which have been a major resistance area since the early February correction. After the recent market rally, the flagship crypto retested the 2021 ATH as a new support level on the weekly timeframe, but ultimately rejected from the 2024 ATH during last week’s close. According to the analyst, if Bitcoin can weekly close above the 2024 ATH, located around $74,000, then the price could move into the high $70,000. “Until that confirmation, however, price will continue to be sandwiched between 2021 and 2024 old All Time Highs,” he added. Rekt Capital also noted that BTC has formed a double bottom pattern in the weekly timeframe, and is “now pressing beyond the resistance” of the formation. As he explained, the cryptocurrency would need a weekly close and a post-breakout retest of the top of the double bottom, around $72,810, to confirm a breakout. If it confirms a breakout from this formation, the price could rally toward the $81,000-$82,500 area in a Measured Move. Nonetheless, the analyst warned that, given the phase of the market cycle we are currently in, the price will likely develop a macro market structure that “will appear sufficiently bullish only to ultimately fail over time.” “The failure could occur by virtue of rejecting from the Double Bottom resistance, by failed post-breakout retest to register a fake-breakout, or by falling short of a Measured Move once the breakout is confirmed.” BTC Resembles 2014 Breakdown Rekt Capital also analyzed BTC’s historical behavior to assess the ongoing rally’s potential failure. The analyst noted that whenever Bitcoin has broken down from its macro triangle formation, the price usually retraces until it forms a bear market bottom. However, the way the cryptocurrency does that has differed from cycle to cycle, he detailed. In 2018 and 2022, the breakdown led to a very quick bearish acceleration toward the bear market bottom accumulation period. On the contrary, Bitcoin consolidated below the triangle base in 2014, retested it, and saw another leg down. This time, BTC’s performance resembles its 2014 breakdown, as it has been consolidating behind the triangle base after losing it in January. To the analyst, if the cryptocurrency continues to mirror its 2014 performance, the price could consolidate a bit longer, potentially rally to the base at $82,500, before rejecting. “Furthermore, Bitcoin tends to build major consolidation periods on breakdowns from Macro Triangles. In 2018 and 2022, these major consolidation periods developed at Bear Market bottoms,” Rekt Capital explained.

The analyst concluded that if history repeats, BTC’s current consolidation could precede additional downside, and another major consolidation period could develop during the bear market bottom.

As Ethereum (ETH) retests a crucial support zone, Bitmine, the second-largest crypto treasury, has announced its latest ETH purchase, which pushed the company’s holdings closer to its ultimate goal. Related Reading: Dogecoin (DOGE) Retreats, Can Bulls Reclaim Upside Momentum? Bitmine Reaches Major 4% ETH Milestone On Monday, the largest Ethereum treasury in the world, Bitmine Immersion Technologies, revealed it had reached a major milestone after purchasing roughly $157 million of ETH in the past week. In its latest update, the company shared that it acquired 71,524 ETH over the past week, its highest pace of buys since the week of December 22, 2025. Bitmine’s Chairman, Tom Lee, detailed that the Ethereum treasury “has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’” Notably, the company has been ramping up its bet on the King of Altcoins over the past month, significantly increasing its average of 45,000-50,000 ETH purchases from previous weeks. Now, the company’s crypto and cash holdings have reached $11.8 billion at current prices, comprised of 4,874,858 ETH, 198 Bitcoin (BTC), a $200 million stake in Beast Industries, an $85 million stake in Eightco Holdings as part of its “Moonshots” initiative, and unencumbered cash worth $719 million. In addition, Bitmine’s Ethereum holdings have reached 4% of the total ETH supply. This represents a key milestone toward the company’s goal of controlling 5% of the leading altcoin’s 120.7 million supply, which is currently 81% complete. Last week, the treasury firm announced its uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) from the NYSE American on April 9, 2026, and the expansion of the share repurchase program to $4 billion. Ethereum Starts Q2 In Green In the weekly update, Lee also discussed ETH’s performance amid the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran, noting that “this war remains the most important driver of global markets.” He highlighted that “ETH is now the best-performing asset since the start of the war, with a 17.4% gain and outperforming the S&P 500 by 1,830 basis points. And we believe ETH beating gold by 2,743 basis points demonstrates ETH is the wartime store of value.” “Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains,” he continued. Market observer Daan Crypto Trades pointed out that Ethereum started the quarter “slightly in the green so far,” with a 3.7% increase Quarter-to-Date (QTD), according to CoinGlass data. The trader noted that this quarter “is generally the best quarter, together with Q1, for Ethereum,” as it has ended in green eight out of ten times, with an average and median return of 58.3% and 15.3%, respectively.

Per the post, if this zone holds, the King of Altcoins could rally back above $2,250 and potentially move toward last month’s top near $2,400. Nonetheless, they warned investors about a potential drop if momentum doesn’t hold. “We’ve seen that historical price action has not really been in Crypto’s favor the past year, so take everything with a grain of salt,” Daan cautioned.

Amid the recent market recovery, Solana (SOL) has jumped roughly 10% from last week’s lows, reclaiming the $82 level and retesting a major resistance. However, some market observers have warned that the rally could be short-lived if the cryptocurrency doesn’t turn a key level into support in the coming days. Related Reading: Ethereum Reclaims $2,200, But Analyst Says It’s Not Time To Celebrate Yet – Here’s Why Solana Price In ‘Consolidation Trap’ On Thursday, Solana surged 2.5% to try to reclaim the $84 area after losing this area on Wednesday night. The altcoin has been trading between the $76-$92 levels since February, moving within the lower half of this range over the past two weeks. Ali Martinez highlighted a structural pattern that has been “remarkably consistent” since October 2025. Notably, the analyst explained that Solana has been repeating a three-step cycle every time it has lost momentum over the past six months. According to Martinez, the pattern begins with the reclaim of the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). This is followed by the rapid failure to hold the 50-day SMA as support. Lastly, SOL enters the “consolidation trap”, a brief, sideways “complacency” period before the actual leg down starts. As the chart shows, the cryptocurrency recorded this pattern in November 2025 and January 2026, when it dropped below the 50-day SMA and consolidated for weeks before the next major sell-off, ultimately resolving lower and reaching a new local bottom. Solana moved above the 50-day SMA in mid-March, when it hit its local top of $97, and has since dropped below it. Now, the altcoin is in its consolidation phase, “drifting sideways” between $79-$81, and sitting below the key SMA near the $86 mark. “If this pattern holds, this sideways movement is not ‘stabilization’—it is the coiling of a new leg down. Based on previous instances, a failure to reclaim the $86 level quickly could project a move toward the $52,” Martinez asserted. SOL Breakdown Imminent? Market observer Leviathan noted that Solana has retested the lower area of its local range seven times since February, and every bounce has gotten weaker after each retest. At the time of writing, the price has been rejected from the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), suggesting that a retest and breakdown from the key $76-$80 support area could be next. “Historically, the more a support level gets tested, the weaker it becomes. Watch this level closely,” he asserted. Analyst Crypto Lens shared a similar outlook, pointing to a potential bearish formation on SOL’s chart. Per the post, the cryptocurrency has been trading in a bearish flag pattern since early February, and broke down from the formation when it dropped below the $81 area in late March. Related Reading: XRP Leads Crypto Funds $224M Rebound With Largest Weekly Inflows Since December This structure also developed in late 2025, leading to a 54% correction after Solana broke down from the pattern. After the recent bounce, the altcoin is retesting the pattern’s lower boundary from support, which could turn this level into resistance if momentum doesn’t hold. “This isn’t random price action, it’s a pattern,” the analyst warned, “If this continues, SOL could be heading toward the $45 zone.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

While Ethereum (ETH) retests a key level for the first time this month, some market watchers have advised caution, warning that the start of a new bull run may not be here yet. Related Reading: XRP Leads Crypto Funds $224M Rebound With Largest Weekly Inflows Since December No Ethereum Party Until This happens After jumping nearly 10%, Ethereum is attempting to reclaim a crucial area that has served as a major resistance zone since the early February crash. Over the past two months, the King of Altcoins has been trading sideways, hovering between the $1,800-$2,200 levels. As the altcoin breaks past the $2,150-$2,200 area, some market observers cautioned investors not to celebrate yet, arguing that ETH has failed to hold this level despite multiple retests during this period. Analyst Ted Pillows affirmed that as long as Ethereum holds above the $2,200 level, it could make a move towards last month’s top, around the $2,400 area, but warned investors not to “mistake it for the start of a bull run,” suggesting that new lows will come between Q2 and Q3 2026. Similarly, market watcher Crypto Scient advised investors not to “confuse positioning with guessing,” explaining that the cryptocurrency hasn’t broken out of its macro downtrend, which began last October. According to the chart, Ethereum is currently near the macro trend resistance while still respecting a Lower High (LH) structure. To him, this is “where most people front-run and get chopped.” Scient argued that even if the bottom is on and ETH’s bull run has begun, “the money won’t be made under this trend. It will be made once the price is above it.” Nonetheless, the price needs to break above the trend, flip it into support, and show acceptance above it before investors can call a true reversal. “Until that happens, this is just another retest in a downtrend,” he asserted. Key Levels To Watch Ali Martinez shared “the ultimate accumulation zones” for Ethereum, outlining some potential scenarios for its price. In the first case, the cryptocurrency could be trading in a multi-year ascending triangle, with the $1,800 level being the “line in the sand.” As he explained, this price point serves as the triangle’s hypotenuse and, if it holds, could trigger a rally toward the $4,900 x-axis. This level also aligns “almost perfectly” with the 0.80 MVRV Pricing Band, located around the $1,880 area. The 0.80 band “has been a reliable indicator of cycle bottoms,” as it has historically marked where sellers exhaust themselves, and “Strong Hands” take over, Martinez highlighted. Meanwhile, in the second scenario, Ethereum could be moving within a parallel channel, risking another 30%-50% correction toward the channel lows between $1,150-$1,170. Martinez emphasized that the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) reveals massive clusters of ETH were bought between $2,079 and $1,882. The URPD also shows that below $1,880, the most significant buy-walls sit at $1,584, $1,238, and $1,089, meaning that if the February lows are lost, the price would visit those levels.

Analyst Explains Why ‘Decision Time’ Could Be Near “While accumulation happens in the $1,000s, the ‘Start Engine’ for the next major rally is the Realized Price at $2,500,” the analyst noted, adding that whenever Ethereum reclaims its Realized Price, it has historically signified that the average holder is back in profit and the “cooling period” has finalized. “A clean break and hold above $2,500 is my primary trigger for the beginning of a new macro bull rally,” Martinez concluded.

As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to reclaim a key resistance area, an analyst has suggested that the end of BTC’s two-month consolidation could be weeks away, potentially opening “generational opportunities” before the next bull run. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Bitcoin And Ethereum Prices Could Keep Crashing This Week Bitcoin Consolidation’s End May Be Weeks Away On Monday, Bitcoin jumped 5% from Sunday’s lows to a key area for the first time in April. Notably, the flagship cryptocurrency has been trading between $62,000-$74,000 over the past two months but has not reached the upper end of its range since late March. Now, BTC is retesting the $69,000-$70,000 resistance area, which could set the stage for a crucial short-term move. Market observer Ted Pillows stated that if the cryptocurrency reclaims this zone, a rally towards $72,000-$74,000 could happen. On the contrary, a rejection would likely see Bitcoin drop to the $65,000-$66,000 support zone, where price has held over the past month. In an X analysis, Ali Martinez noted that the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) shows the flagship cryptocurrency is “stuck in a ‘No-Trade Zone.’” Per the post, “the URPD shows exactly where every BTC last moved,” with a massive cluster of holders between $70,685-$63,111. “As long as we trade here, millions of holders are incentivized to defend their ‘buy-in,’ creating a natural floor,” he added. Nonetheless, analyst Max Crypto affirmed that BTC’s “decision time is very close,” suggesting that it could see its next big move unfold in the upcoming weeks, based on its previous price action. As he explained, the leading crypto has shown the same performance over the past year, consolidating for 8-15 weeks before the last four big moves. This time, Bitcoin has been moving sideways for 8 weeks, entering its 9th consolidation week on Monday. Based on its previous performance, the market watcher considers that “BTC’s next big move will most likely happen by mid-April, irrespective of US-Iran talks, and will probably be to the downside.” Where Is BTC’s Final Support Located? In his X post, Martinez also analyzed multiple patterns and on-chain metrics to map out BTC’s high-probability accumulation zones and potential bottom. Notably, he highlighted that Bitcoin is approaching its most significant support floor since 2017: an ascending trendline that has guarded its price for nine years, and every retest has preceded a parabolic expansion. This trendline currently sits around the $60,000 and $56,000 levels and could be “the potential launchpad for the next major bull cycle” if it holds. In addition, he outlined three metrics that could mark the “line in the sand” and the best buying opportunities for BTC: the Cumulative Value Days Destroyed (CVDD), the MVRV pricing bands, and the Long-Term Holder (LTH) Realized Price. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s 85% Crash Era Is Over: ‘It’s Now A Proven Technology’, Cathie Wood Says The CVDD, which “tracks when ‘Old Hands’ pass BTC to new buyers, creating a structural foundation for the entire market,” is currently around $47,960. Meanwhile, the MVRV 0.8 Band, located around $43,647, has historically marked the bottom and “the exact zone where BTC sellers exhaust themselves and the ‘Strong Hands’ take over the supply.” Lastly, Martinez noted that the LTH Realized Price, currently at $49,387, is often the final support. However, he added that if the price dips below this level, “it signals a final capitulation phase, especially if the -0.2 Std Dev band at $36,657 is hit” at what he deemed “Generational Buy” levels.

As Bitcoin (BTC) holds the crucial $65,000 to $66,000 area, Ark Invest CEO and CIO Cathie Wood has discussed the flagship crypto’s current downturn, affirming that the era of severe pullbacks is over. Related Reading: $285M Bug Or Human Error? Solana-Based Drift Protocol Suffers Largest Exploit Of 2026 50% Bitcoin Correction Could Be A ‘Real Victory’ In a recent interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood affirmed that Bitcoin has matured over the last few years, citing broader adoption and growing institutional demand for the flagship crypto. Wood said that Bitcoin is a “proven technology” and a “proven monetary system,” adding that the industry is “seeing now is the institutionalization of this new asset class that has had a very low correlation with other asset classes.” Therefore, “the 85%, 95% collapses associated with a very new technology, that’s done.” To the CEO, the ongoing market correction, which has reduced Bitcoin’s value by nearly half from its October peak, could be viewed as a “real victory” rather than a sign of weakness for the Bitcoin community, as it would mark a significant decline from its historical crashes during previous bear markets. Last year, Wood trimmed her Bitcoin prediction for 2030 from $1.5 million to $1.2 million. However, she has reiterated her view that Bitcoin will serve as a store of value and global settlement system. She previously asserted that growing institutional adoption will be a powerful driver for long-term value for the flagship crypto, adding that it has only begun. “Institutions really have just dipped their toes into this space. We have just started, so we have a long way to go,” she stated. Analysts Say BTC Bottom Is Much Lower Despite Wood’s outlook, other market analysts have forecasted much lower targets for BTC’s bottom. Recently, Bloomberg senior strategist Mike McGlone suggested that a “bursting crypto bubble” scenario is looming for the leading cryptocurrency. As reported by NewsBTC, McGlone affirmed that Bitcoin could drop as low as $10,000 this year, noting that this level was a common trading price before 2020-2021 and “the first-born crypto’s most traded price since 2017.” Market watcher Crypto Jelle recently pointed out that the cryptocurrency’s bear market lows have historically formed below the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement levels, which could place BTC’s bottom below the $57,000 area. Meanwhile, analyst Ali Martinez said that BTC’s final correction before the next bull run could send the price 40%-50% down toward the $30,000-$40,000 area, based on its historical performance. The analyst explained that the crossover between BTC’s 50 and 200 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) has historically signaled the bottom of every major cycle over the past twelve years. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs Break Four-Month Negative Streak With $1.32B Inflows While ETH, XRP Funds Bleed As he detailed, the crossover has consistently marked the start of the final leg down before the next bull market, with the price declining another 50% when the 50- and 200-SMAs crossed in previous cycles. Notably, Bitcoin has seen a 52% correction from its October 2025 peak, and the SMAs crossed over on February 27, which could suggest that another major correction is due, if history repeats.

The XRP price reaching $20 may take several years, according to a market pundit who recently outlined a long-range roadmap for the digital asset. His projection places the milestone near the end of the decade while suggesting the current market phase could still present opportunities before the next major expansion begins. XRP Price Path To $20 By 2030 Outlined In Multi-Year Forecast Crypto analyst ChartNerd recently argued that a $20 target for XRP by 2030 closely aligns with his broader outlook for the asset. In a post shared on March 28, he explained that while the market may still be navigating a bearish stretch, the period leading into 2026 could represent an accumulation phase before a stronger multi-year rally unfolds. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Bottom: Pundit Reveals The 5 Phases To Know When The Bleed Has Ended His projection outlines a gradual climb toward the $20 milestone within the decade. According to the model, XRP could trade between $2.65 and $4.87 in 2025, with an average estimate of $3.16. The following year marks the first significant step higher. For 2026, the forecast places the asset within a range of $4.94 to $6.18, with an average price of $5.53. The analyst suggested this period could provide market participants with an opportunity before a larger upward move begins. Momentum is projected to build further in the years that follow. By 2027, XRP is expected to reach between $6.23 and $8.71, averaging roughly $7.16. The following year could push the asset into consistent double-digit territory, with projections for 2028 ranging from $8.78 to $12.84. The trajectory accelerates closer to the end of the decade. For 2029, the forecast places XRP between $13.06 and $16.76, suggesting the asset may approach the final stage before reaching the long-discussed $20 mark. The key year in the model is 2030. At that point, projections place the minimum value near $16.86, the average at $18.34, and the upper range slightly above $20 at $20.03. This timeline forms the basis for the analyst’s view that the $20 level is achievable but most likely several years away. The long-term outlook extends even further. Projections indicate XRP could climb to an average of $38.16 by 2035, around $63.86 by 2040, and potentially exceed $115 on average by 2050 if adoption and market expansion continue over multiple cycles.

Pundit’s Earlier Commentary Reinforces Long-Term Targets The analyst had earlier shared a chart suggesting the XRP price could reach about $27 by 2030. The chart uses a time-based Fibonacci model comparing XRP’s previous cycle with the current one. During the 2014–2018 cycle, the asset moved through several Fibonacci extension levels before completing its major rally. Applying the same structure to the current market cycle highlights possible targets near $8 and $13, with a higher extension around $27. The chart and the analyst’s recent projections indicate that reaching $20 may take several years, while the broader cycle could potentially extend even higher if the pattern continues to play out.

As we approach the end of 2026’s first quarter, a crypto market watcher has shared a bearish outlook for XRP, warning that the altcoin’s correction may not be over yet, and it risks a deeper pullback in the next few months. Related Reading: Bitcoin ‘Absolute Bottom’ Next? Analyst Says BTC’s Final Shakeout Is Near XRP Risks 60% Correction In Second Quarter On Tuesday, XRP continued to move sideways, hovering between $1.30 and $1.35 for the fifth consecutive day. The cryptocurrency has been trading between two crucial levels, $1.21 and $1.55, for nearly two months. Markey observer More Crypto Online highlighted that since the early February correction, there hasn’t been any major price action, as the altcoin has been unable to break out of its local range. However, he noted that XRP has held the lower boundary of this key range, despite market volatility, adding that it is a crucial support zone and decision area for the cryptocurrency. According to the analysis, the next significant move will define the structure and “determine whether a more bullish scenario remains valid or a deeper correction unfolds.” He explained that XRP’s current structure suggests a more bearish scenario is likely short- to mid-term, with a “more complex ABC structure” potentially unfolding unless the market “really starts an impulse rally.” In this scenario, the cryptocurrency may bounce into a crucial resistance area, between $1.76 and $2.86, for its B wave in the coming weeks before the price continues to retrace to lower levels for Wave C. This key resistance area requires close attention, the analyst asserted, as there is a possibility of a bounce into it if the February lows hold. He concluded that “If it’s a corrective move up, which currently would be the expectation, (…) in Q2 we may see a bit of a bounce, (…) and then maybe in late Q2 or early Q3, we could see that C wave down.” Per the chart, this correction could situate XRP’s bottom between the $0.98 and $0.48 levels, which would represent a 30% to 60% pullback from the current levels. Early Q2 Relief Rally Coming? Meanwhile, Chard Nerd shared a similar outlook, affirming that XRP may rally to $1.80-$2.00 in the coming months. The analyst has explained that the altcoin could see a relief rally between April and May, which could mark a very critical inflection point, based on its previous performances. Notably, after peaking in previous cycles, the altcoin has fallen to retest the 200-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA), before seeing a relief rally toward the 20 and 50 EMAs. This has been followed by a rejection and a drop to its bear market lows. Related Reading: Crypto CEO Sounds Warning: If Bitcoin Price Falls Below This Level, The Bear Market Will Worsen The market observer shared that he had expected the relief rally to occur sooner, but noted that the cryptocurrency has been consolidating around its 200 EMA for weeks. This could signal that the retest of this indicator may last longer than in the previous cycle and that the 20 and 50 EMA retests could unfold later. “XRP is hovering around the 200-week EMA. There have been major relief rallies we’ve seen in the past, which means we could get that, but it likely will be followed by another low later in the year (…) between that $0.90 to $0.70 region. (…) This is where we’re trying to get to before continued expansion,” he concluded. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

As Bitcoin (BTC) retests a crucial level after breaking down of a bearish pattern, an analyst has suggested that the flagship crypto’s final correction before the next bull market could start in the coming days. Related Reading: Ethereum Could Hit $40,000 And Beat Bitcoin, Standard Chartered Says Start Of ‘Final Washout’ Is Days Away In a Monday analysis, market observer Ali Martinez affirmed that Bitcoin’s final leg down before the next bull run could be around the corner based on the flagship crypto’s past cycle’s behavior. The analyst explained that historically, the crossover between BTC’s 50 and 200 Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) has marked the “‘absolute bottom’ of every major cycle since 2014.” Over the past 12 years, whenever these two lines crossed on the three-day chart, it has consistently signaled the start of the “final washout” before the next bull market begins. In 2014, 2018, and 2022, Bitcoin had already declined by 50%-72% from its cycle peaks when the 50- and 200-SMAs crossed. 23-33 days after the crossover, the cryptocurrency continued its correction, retracing another 45%-52% before bottoming. In 2022, “another lower low formed 156 days later, completing the bear structure and opening the door for the next bull market.” Now, Bitcoin has already seen a 52% correction from its October 2025 peak, while the SMAs crossed over on February 27. “As of today, we are exactly 30 days into this signal,” the analyst detailed, adding that “If history ‘rhymes,’ we are likely entering the Final Accumulation Window of this cycle within the next 3 to 6 days.” Martinez noted that while the final leg down could be intimidating, history has shown that the crossover is the “Golden Opportunity” for long-term investors. Based on its 40%-50% “resets,” the analyst suggested two main accumulation zones: the $40,000 and $30,000 levels. Structurally, this setup has historically aligned with the last major downside move before a generational macro bottom forms. (…) The countdown to the next vertical move has begun. Bitcoin Bear Flag Breakdown Confirmed? After closing the week around the $66,000 mark, Bitcoin has surged to the $67,000-$68,000 area to retest a crucial level from below. The flagship crypto has been trading between $62,000-$74,000 for nearly two months, developing a bearish formation during this period. Notably, BTC has formed a bearish flag pattern on the daily timeframe, retesting the formation’s lower and upper boundaries multiple times since early February. Following last week’s correction, the cryptocurrency retraced over 10% from its recent highs to a four-week low of $65,000 on Sunday. Related Reading: The Last Time Bitcoin Sentiment Was This Bad Was 2022, But There Was A Silver Lining Amid this performance, Bitcoin lost the lower boundary of its bear flag formation, risking a second leg down toward lower levels. Analyst Crypto Jelle noted that the cryptocurrency is currently retesting the formation from below after today’s bounce, which could confirm that the pattern’s support has turned into resistance if BTC price is rejected. In addition, the market watcher pointed out that the cryptocurrency’s bear market lows have historically formed below the Fibonacci 0.618 retracement levels, which could place BTC’s bottom below the $57,000 area. “Is this time different? Doubt it,” Jelle concluded. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The latest Bitcoin (BTC) price drop has raised concerns about the cryptocurrency’s upcoming performance, with some analysts warning that BTC’s next key closes could signal the start of another major correction. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bottom Not In? Analyst Warns DOGE’s Macro Downtrend Won’t Be Over Soon Bitcoin Risks Another Major Crash On Friday, Bitcoin plunged over 7% intraday to a three-week low of $65,700, raising concerns about the flagship crypto’s short- to mid-term performance. The cryptocurrency has been trading between the $65,000-$72,000 levels since the early February crash. After its latest drop, analyst Altcoin Sherpa noted that holding the current levels is crucial, as losing this boundary could quickly send BTC’s price 6%-10% down to the next support area, around $60,000-$62,000. Several market observers also warned that the cryptocurrency is currently breaking down a crucial bearish formation, which could also trigger a massive crash to newer lows if the price doesn’t bounce soon. Notably, Bitcoin has been forming a bear flag pattern on the daily timeframe for nearly two months, retesting the formation’s lower boundary on multiple occasions. However, BTC now risks losing this level as support, as it shows multiple concerning signs. Ted Pillows asserted on X that Bitcoin is not only dropping in price but also losing momentum as it has lost its RSI uptrend. “A major sign of weakness,” he added. The analyst also emphasized that BTC’s breakdown “is only a matter of when, not if,” cautioning that the flagship cryptocurrency has already broken down of a similar two-month bear flag pattern at the start of the year. Meanwhile, Ali Martinez suggested that BTC could drop another 30%-45% based on its historical performance over the past decade. As he explained, Bitcoin has kicked off new bull runs after dropping below its long-term holder realized price, and it’s −0.2 standard deviation band, located at the $48,387 and $36,657 levels, respectively. “I’ll be watching these zones for dip-buying opportunities ahead of the next bull cycle,” he stated. All Eyes On BTC’s Weekly Close Analyst Rekt Capital highlighted another concerning sign for Bitcoin, noting that BTC has once again dropped below the 200-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Amid this drop, the cryptocurrency is treating this level as resistance once more, putting the focus on the upcoming weekly close. The analyst previously explained that “If the 200-week EMA is lost as support this week and price Weekly Closes below it again, Bitcoin could actually turn the EMA into new resistance.” Last week, the largest crypto by market capitalization technically closed below the 200W EMA after attempting to “post-breakout retest” it as support, but failing to end the week above the $68,000 area. “That means that price technically kickstarted a breakdown from the EMA,” and a weekly close below this level would confirm it.

As Dogecoin (DOGE) retests a key multi-year support, some analysts predict a bearish outlook for the largest memecoin by market capitalization, warning that its bottom may not be in yet. Related Reading: Bitwise CIO Projects Circle To Hit $75B Valuation By 2030 Despite Selloff, Clarity Act Concerns Dogecoin Targets Lower Levels On Thursday, Dogecoin erased most of its early-week bounce and retested the $0.090 area once again. Market observer Rekt Capital highlighted DOGE’s recent performance, warning that its price correction may not be over yet. As he explained, the leading memecoin lost its multi-year macro uptrend back in November, when it closed the month below its ascending support that had held since early 2023. Therefore, Dogecoin officially confirmed its macro downtrend, which started developing after its cycle peak of $0.484 during the late 2024 bull run. The analyst noted that historically, the cryptocurrency has not retested the macro downtrend line until the price is ready to break it and post-breakout retest it. Based on this, he warned that the memecoin is “unlikely to test this Macro Downtrend anytime soon.” At the moment, DOGE is sitting at its range low, which is also a key reaction zone that previously acted as resistance before turning into support in 2024. According to Rekt Capital, previous bear market performance suggests that Dogecoin will likely lose the current area as support over time, but noted that the price could see a rebound as part of a range-bound cluster in the meantime. If history is any indicator, then price would likely fall well short of the Macro Downtrend and instead reject from the Range High resistance (red region). Perhaps even upside wicking beyond it, but still falling substantially short of the downtrend itself. The analyst concluded that a short-term relief rally remains possible as long as the current level holds, but cautioned that it may be lost in the coming months before bottoming at significantly lower levels. The Case For DOGE’s Price Despite the bearish forecast, other market watchers have shared a more optimistic outlook for the memecoin. Analyst Trader Tardigrade recently signaled that Dogecoin may have reached its bottom already and could be preparing for its next bull run. Per the chart, the cryptocurrency is retesting a historical support for the third time. This trendline has held for roughly a decade, and its retests have previously preceded major price rallies. The first touch in 2017 led to an explosive rally toward its 2018 $0.017 all-time high (ATH), while the second retest in 2021 was followed by a massive surge toward its current ATH of $0.731. Now, Dogecoin is testing this area again and could begin recovering in the short- to mid-term before a massive price expansion to new highs in the mid- to long-term, if it follows its past performances. Similarly, the analyst has also argued that DOGE’s macro structure remains intact, regardless of short-term price action. Last week, he affirmed that the memecoin’s performance during each of its ATH rallies “tells the same story—because Doge makes its own rules.” Related Reading: Cardano Price At Multi-Year Support That Previously Led To 200% Rally – ADA Recovery Ahead?

As Cardano (ADA) retests a key multi-year level that previously led to significant price increases, some analysts point to on-chain and derivative signals suggesting a potential price recovery for the altcoin. Related Reading: Ethereum Tops $2,100 As BitMine Ramps Up ETH Bet With $137M Purchase Cardano Retests Key Macro Support On Tuesday, Cardano dropped 3% to retest a crucial macro support level. The altcoin has been trading between $0.25-$0.30 since the early February market crash, failing to break out of the range’s upper boundary over the past two months. ADA’s price has retraced to the lower levels of its one-month accumulation zone, hovering between $0.25-$0.27 during recent market volatility. Market observer Ali Martinez pointed out that the cryptocurrency has been retesting a key multi-year level amid this performance. According to the post, Cardano is retesting the $0.25 area, a major support zone since 2022, in the weekly timeframe. This level marked the bottom of the previous bear market and served as a key area at the start of the latest bull run. As Martinez noted, the last two times ADA traded around and held this level, back in 2023, it bounced 85% and 200%. The first bounce led to a retest of the $0.46 area, while the second drove the price toward the $0.80 level between October 2023 and March 2024. The analyst also highlighted that ADA recently printed a buy signal, signaling a potential recovery soon. “The TD Sequential indicator has flashed a ‘black 9’ on the weekly chart, suggesting the recent downtrend has exhausted,” he wrote, adding that this setup typically anticipates one to four weeks of expansion. As a result, ADA could target $0.32-$0.37 by late April if it holds above its current price levels. “We’ve survived the 6-month grind; now we watch for a potential price recovery,” Martinez asserted. ADA Flashes Bottom Signals Adding to the momentum, analytics firm Santiment has underscored multiple on-chain and derivative signals that could indicate a reversal is nearby for Cardano. According to the post, Cardano’s average active wallets have experienced a 43% negative return on their investments over the past year, suggesting a price rebound is more likely than usual. Despite the 71% price decline since September, this extremely negative MVRV value generally indicates that ADA is in an “opportunity” or “buy” zone, Santiment affirmed, further explaining that when average returns are significantly negative, it signals an impending turnaround: On a zero-sum game, when average returns are severely negative, this is an indication of a looming turnaround with coins always averaging 0% on MVRV’s (average trading returns) across any timeframe. So when other traders are in severe pain, key stakeholders and professional traders are intrigued by this due to the lowered risk of buying or adding on to their positions. In addition, the firm stated that Cardano’s funding rate on Binance is experiencing the largest imbalance toward shorts since June 2023, suggesting traders are heavily inclined toward further downside. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds $70K – Is The High‑Beta Era Over? “Traders are clearly expecting that the #12 market cap will continue to decline in value,” the firm pointed out, noting that “this historically is another bottom signal, as funding rates are always prone to liquidate and send prices in the direction that traders are expecting the least.” Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

Following the recent market trend, the XRP price has maintained its hold on an important trendline over the years. This trendline leans bullish, and as long as the cryptocurrency holds above it, the likelihood of a recovery remains high. However, a break below this multi-year trendline could signal doom, with crypto analyst CrypFlow forecasting how low the digital asset could go before eventually finding a bottom. Bears Threaten XRP’s Multi-Year Trendline According to crypto analyst CrypFlow, the XRP multi-year trendline that began back in the year 2017 is currently still in play. In fact, with the price trading well above the $1.2 level, it continues to hold up well. So far, this has suggested that bulls still have some strength left, and this trendline has been a beacon. Related Reading: Signal That Led To Last 2 Altcoin Seasons Has Returned, And Here’s How Bitcoin Fits In From here on out, the XRP price would only need to actually complete a breakout to maintain its uptrend. This breakout would not only need to happen, but it would need to do so with momentum. As CrypFlow explains, for momentum to follow, the XRP price needs to do two things. The first of these is that the XRP price needs to break out of the descending resistance. This descending resistance had begun back in 2025, continuing on into 2026. As long as this resistance remains, the price remains bearish. But a break towards $2 invalidates it. Next on the list is that the XRP RSI downtrend needs to be broken as well. A breakout above $2 will complete this, ensuring that there is enough momentum for the cryptocurrency to follow. Such a move, the crypto analyst believes, would send the XRP price toward its 2018 highs of $3.8. However, in the case that the bulls are unable to complete a breakout within moments, then the bears could take control once again. Such a scenario would see the price lose its multi-year trend and eventually fall below $1. Related Reading: Analyst Says Bitcoin Price Is Showing Dangerous Weakness, Here’s Why Once this happens, then there is little cushion left for the cryptocurrency. As the price falls, the analyst highlights what they call the ‘discount zone,’ where XRP would be seemingly cheap to buy, and this lies around the $0.6-$0.8 level. Nevertheless, once the decline is over, the price is expected to rebound again. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

As XRP attempts to defend a crucial support level, an analyst has called for a 30%-40% rally in the coming weeks, suggesting that the altcoin could see short-term relief before it reaches its “critical inflection point.” Related Reading: Analyst Says Dogecoin At $2 Is ‘Inevitable’ As Elon Musk Revives ‘Dogefather’ Meme XRP Defends Its ‘Lifeline’ On Friday, XRP saw a 2.5% intraday retrace to retest the $1.43 area before bouncing above the crucial $1.40 level. The altcoin has been hovering between $1.34-$1.50 over the past month, recently attempting to break out of the range’s upper boundary. During this week’s market rally, the cryptocurrency surged 15% from the weekend lows, reaching a one-month high of $1.60 on Tuesday. However, broader market volatility has pulled XRP back into its local range, leading the altcoin to retest a crucial area. Analyst ChardNerd affirmed that the altcoin is “currently defending a lifeline as it clings to support” and that he expects continuation to what he believes will be its “critical inflection point” in the coming weeks. XRP has been trading around its 200-Week Exponential Moving Average (EMA), currently at $1.41, with multiple closes below it and a bullish reclaim above this level in the latest weekly candle. As he explained, this is the key guardrail that the cryptocurrency must defend as the end of the week approaches, as it would set the stage for a new retest and potential reclaim of its $1.50 resistance and a relief rally toward two crucial levels above, the 20 EMA and 50 EMA. “So, what I’m trying to say is XRP could potentially have some sort of relief in the coming months, up towards these EMAs, which sit between $1.80 and $2.00. And if it gets this relief, that will mark a very critical inflection point.” He further emphasized that XRP must defend and hold the 200 EMA, as it has reclaimed the critical support level in the weekly timeframe and pushed the price toward its recent local highs. Why An April Rally Is Likely Diving deeper into the potential upcoming relief rally, the analyst observed that in previous cycles, XRP also had a “very interestingly unfolding price action.” He noted that after peaking in 2021, the altcoin fell to the 200 EMA, saw a relief rally toward the 20 and 50 EMA before being rejected and ultimately dropping to its bear market lows. Now, the cryptocurrency has done “exactly what we did in the prior cycle peak in 2021,” significantly retracing from its July 2025 peak and falling back to the 200 EMA. Notably, the altcoin saw around three months of relief after the successful back test, which could signal that “this is where we could see the next sort of few months, if Bitcoin behaves.” Related Reading: Solana Eyes ‘Clear Path’ Towards $115 Amid SEC Guidance, SOL ETFs Demand Moreover, the previous relief rally took place around March 2022, ChardNerd asserted, noting that “It doesn’t have to repeat the exact same way.” If the March relief rally doesn’t retest the $1.80-$2.00 in the next week, the analyst suggested that “there is a possibility that it lasts a bit longer than it did the prior cycle” and continues into April or May. “So, this is why there’s still the potential, I think, to get the push to $2 and then XRP comes back to $0.80 to $0.70,” he concluded.

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.   Related Reading: XRP Trend Exhaustion Says Price Is About To Jump, Here’s The Target Bitcoin Sheds Over $5,000 With New Crash In just one day, the Bitcoin price has crashed, losing roughly $5,000 after its recent rebound above $75,000. 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

Ethereum, being the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has often drawn a lot of attention as the next in line to replicate Bitcoin’s success. But despite Bitcoin rallying to new all-time highs, Ethereum has stayed below $5,000, unable to hit this major target. This has not deterred investors, however, with analysts still predicting that the Ethereum price will eventually beat the $5,000 mark and rally toward 5-figures in the end. Why Ethereum Price Could Cross $5,000 Following the initial decline from the $4,900 high that was registered back in 2025, the Ethereum price was stuck in an accumulation range. This continued as the price decline deepened and Ethereum fell more than 50% from its all-time highs. However, with the recent turn in the tide, it seems that the digital asset is now emerging out of this accumulation trend. Crypto analyst Javon Marks points this out in an analysis shared on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, showing how this could play out for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Analyst Says Ignore The Noise, Dogecoin Is Still In The Game, And This Is Why Presently, the Ethereum price looks to be marking its support above $2,000, and this has set the stage for a bounce-off rally. According to the crypto analyst, this current trend suggests that Ethereum is actually breaking out of the accumulation trend. This, in turn, sets this digital asset on a course toward breaking $4,900. The story doesn’t end there because Marks highlights that the implications of the Ethereum price breaking above $4,900 are very bearish. In the case of a break above this major resistance, then the crypto analyst sees the ETH price eventually rallying to $8,500. Bull patterns that hold in $ETH hints at a push towards the $4,900 levels again and that may only be part of prices exiting a huge accumulation phase. Prices reach those levels and the next we’re looking at is above $8,500.

If this trend continues, then the ETH price could continue to surge, but with major resistance lying at $3,000, it remains to be seen if bears will give up totally.

Despite the crypto market’s renewed weakness on Thursday, a new AI-driven market model produced by Sam Daodu for 24/7 Wall St. projects higher year-end prices for Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, and Ethereum (ETH). AI Model Sees Bitcoin Rising 42% In 2026 Daodu’s analysis, which used ChatGPT as the modeling engine, places Bitcoin at the top of the trio, forecasting a roughly 42% gain from current levels and a year-end target near $105,000. Related Reading: Sen. Lummis Predicts Crypto Market Structure Markup In April, Senate Passage By Year-End The AI model identified institutional demand and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as the primary catalysts for its Bitcoin prediction. The model also identified BTC’s tightened supply as a potential catalyst.  The latest Halving reduced daily issuance from 900 BTC to 450 BTC, cutting the annual inflation rate to 0.83%. This week, combined with ETF buying and large holders, institutional purchases outpaced miner issuance, creating a demand-supply imbalance that the model cited as a main reason for ranking Bitcoin first. XRP To Hit $2 By Year-End XRP ranked second in the AI’s predictions, with an expected return of approximately 32% and a year-end price near $2.00. ChatGPT noted the regulatory clarity provided by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which classified the altcoin as a commodity. This classification is expected to reduce a major barrier to institutional participation. The AI model also interpreted XRP’s most recent price breakout above the key $1.5 level as bullish, noting that sustained gains can move holders toward break-even positions and reduce selling pressure. However, the model highlighted a critical limitation: regulatory clarity has not yet translated into meaningful institutional demand for XRP, as ETF flows experienced $28 million in net outflows last week. In short, substantial institutional buying will be required for XRP to reach its predicted price point by the end of the year. ChatGPT Forecasts Modest ETH Rally Ethereum ranked third, with a comparatively modest forecast of about 20% upside to roughly $2,800 by year-end. ChatGPT argued that, despite Ethereum’s developer ecosystem and extensive infrastructure, the token faces the weakest near-term demand picture among the three major assets.  A key reason is migration of activity to layer-2 (L2) networks—Base, Arbitrum (ARB), and Optimism (OP) now handle a large share of user transactions because of lower fees.  Related Reading: XRP Price Projections Soar To $15-$30 On CLARITY Act Prospects And Bank Adoption That shift has reportedly compressed fee revenue on Ethereum’s base layer; weekly fees recently averaged about $2.3 million compared with peak weekly fees near $30 million. With fees now close to zero, burning has effectively stalled, and ETH’s supply is growing slightly rather than contracting. ChatGPT concluded that, until fee revenue rebounds or institutional flows reverse, Ethereum’s price will have to prove itself on other fundamentals. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $70,600, marking a 1% loss within the last 24 hours. XRP has seen a similar decline of 0.9%, but it is still holding onto gains of 6% recorded over the past week while trading at around $1.45 per token.  Surprisingly, Ethereum has outperformed Bitcoin during this period as well, with gains of 4.2%. However, over the past 24 hours, the market’s leading altcoin has retraced 2.3%, reaching approximately $2,148, according to CoinGecko data.  Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com 

While some market observers suggest that Dogecoin (DOGE) could be primed for a massive price expansion, Elon Musk revived his popular meme after a long time, reigniting enthusiasm among crypto community members. Related Reading: Solana Eyes ‘Clear Path’ Towards $115 Amid SEC Guidance, SOL ETFs Demand The ‘Dogefather’ Is Back? As investors wondered whether Elon Musk had abandoned Dogecoin, the Tesla CEO and X owner put the memecoin front and center of the crypto conversation after reviving his popular “Dogefather” meme. In a Thursday X post, the tech entrepreneur shared an AI-generated video recreating a famous scene from “The Godfather.” The video, created with Grok Imagine, displays Musk in a black tuxedo as Vito Corleone, the iconic character played by Marlon Brando in the Francis Ford Coppola film. While holding a Shiba Inu dog, the breed that inspired the original Dogecoin meme, the AI version of Musk recited a modified version of the legendary scene: “You come to me on the day of my doge’s wedding, and you ask me for my private key. Are you even a friend? You don’t even think to call me the Dogefather.” The post reignited enthusiasm among crypto community members, several interpreting it as a new sign of support for DOGE. The CEO has long advocated for the oldest memecoin on his social media, often calling himself the “Dogefather.” His doge-inspired posts have historically caused significant fluctuations in the cryptocurrency’s price, although their frequency has decreased over time. Notably, he triggered a massive rally in 2021 when he promoted his Saturday Night Live (SNL) appearance using the “Dogefather” meme. Ahead of the show, the memecoin surged to its all-time high (ATH) of $0.73, but quickly crashed by around 40% amid the broadcast after he called it a “hustle” during a sketch. Dogecoin Macro Structure Signals New Highs Despite the online excitement, DOGE’s price didn’t react to Musk’s acknowledgement this time, with the price remaining mostly flat in the following hours before plunging alongside the rest of the crypto market. An X user noted that “Posts like this used to give us money a few years ago.” However, the memecoin fell from the recently reclaimed $0.10 level, falling to a $0.0918 one-week low on Thursday afternoon. A market observer noted that, regardless of short-term price action, DOGE’s macro structure remains intact, which could signal it’s ready for the next major pump. Trader Tardigrade highlighted memecoin’s performance during each of its ATH rallies in previous cycles and emphasized that every rally it “tells the same story—because Doge makes its own rules.” As the chart above shows, following its previous peak, Dogecoin has moved within a multi-year range, reaching its market bottom before bouncing. During the last stage of its recovery, the memecoin has formed a falling wedge pattern, which has led to a significant price expansion to new highs after breaking out of this crucial formation. Related Reading: BNB Chain Momentum Grows As Total RWA Value Hits $3B Now, DOGE has “just completed the final falling wedge inside the yellow circle, and it looks primed for the next pump into the next circle,” the analyst pointed out. He also stated that the cryptocurrency’s setup shows that the price is in a “prime accumulation window,” concluding that “Doge at $2 is inevitable.” As of this writing, Dogeocin trades at $0.092, a 2.5% decline in the daily timeframe.

A recent rebound in the Ethereum price has brought renewed focus to an analyst who accurately identified its local bottom. With price now recovering sharply from that region, the same market watcher has outlined the next key levels that could determine Ethereum’s direction in the coming weeks. Ethereum Price Breakdown To Reversal Confirms Analyst’s Call Ethereum’s earlier decline unfolded through a series of failed bullish structures, gradually weakening confidence in the uptrend. The first sign of trouble emerged when a bullish flag pattern broke down near the $3,700 level, cutting short expectations of continuation. This was followed by a more decisive shift as an ascending triangle failed, leading to a breakdown below the $3,000 support zone. Related Reading: Why Bitcoin Price Could Stage A Stronger Rally Than Previous Bull Markets As the Ethereum price moved lower into the $2,000–$1,850 range, the analyst highlighted $1,800 as a critical level to watch. According to him, holding that level would likely trigger a recovery toward $2,650, while losing it could expose a deeper move toward $1,300, identified as a stronger accumulation zone. Price action ultimately respected the bullish scenario. Ethereum stabilized within the $1,800–$1,900 range, where buying pressure emerged and formed a base. From there, the market began to recover, delivering a gain of roughly 28% from the entry zone identified by the analyst.  Building on that accuracy, Ethereum reclaimed previously resistant levels. The analyst noted a bearish flag near $2,150 that eventually broke, signaling a short-term momentum shift. A move above $2,300 further strengthened the recovery, showing buyers were regaining control. The market’s trajectory ultimately confirmed the analyst’s call, proving his forecast precise and reliable. Ethereum Builds On Accurate Call With FVG Target And $3,000 Test Ahead Attention has now shifted to a target identified by the analyst as the next likely area of interest: the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $2,474 and $2,734. The analyst highlights this zone as a potential point where Ethereum may revisit before making a more decisive move. According to him, a push above the upper boundary—particularly past $2,634—would increase the likelihood of a test toward $3,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin And US Election Cycles: An Age-Long Romance That Says $400,000 Is Possible That level is expected to act as a key decision point. While the recovery has been strong, overhead resistance remains, including prior support zones that have turned into resistance and a descending trendline visible on the chart. These factors suggest that any move into $3,000 will be closely contested. At the same time, the analyst maintains that holding above $1,750 is essential to preserving the current uptrend. A break below that level could weaken the structure and reintroduce downside risk. By closely tracking price action, the analyst outlines what to expect next: a clear progression from breakdown to accumulation, now moving toward a potential expansion phase as Ethereum approaches its next major test.

Bitcoin is back at a point where the next move may carry more importance than an ordinary resistance test. The latest rebound has pulled the price back into a zone that could be the line between a continued recovery and another leg lower, especially as it is still early to judge whether the bounce from the yearly low has real strength behind it. Now, all eyes are on one specific zone that could either launch Bitcoin to a new all-time high or send it to another yearly low. A Roadmap Playing Out In Real Time The setup comes from a technical outlook shared by analyst Crypto Patel, who noted that Bitcoin has now entered its most important zone of 2026. The reaction inside the current order block will determine whether Bitcoin can continue building back to the upper resistance bands or slip into another breakdown sequence. That view is coming as Bitcoin broke above $75,000 again following weeks of trading below the level. Related Reading: XRP Trend Exhaustion Says Price Is About To Jump, Here’s The Target Crypto Patel’s prediction strategy is built around Bearish Order Block 1, a zone running from $74,567 to $79,289. According to his roadmap, Bitcoin already reclaimed $76,000 and pushed through the previous $74,000 resistance, confirming the bounce he had mapped from the $60,000 support area. The chart that accompanied his post presents this range as the first major test of the current rebound. Price is shown climbing out of a local low near $59,809 and moving straight into that overhead supply region.  A projected path on the chart suggests two very different outcomes from here. One path shows Bitcoin getting rejected in this first order block and rolling over into a break of structure that could drag price back to the range in the low-$50,000s. The other shows Bitcoin pushing through the zone, establishing a higher low, and then making a run into the next resistance cluster. Bitcoin Price Chart. Source: @CryptoPatel On X New All-Time High Within Reach If Structure Holds The bullish scenario for this technical analysis. Bitcoin needs to break through Bearish Order Block 1 and keep building. If that happens, then the next upside target is in Bearish Order Block 2, which is between $86,000 and $90,600.  Related Reading: Ex-UK Prime Minister Blasts Bitcoin, Here’s What He Said The analyst also placed a change-of-character level at about $97,900 and noted that a higher-timeframe close above that region would be bullish. That would mean Bitcoin is no longer just bouncing inside the structure. Bitcoin closed around $73,926 on March 17 and around $71,256 on March 18, which means the price action is still close enough to Patel’s first decision zone for every small move there to matter. The bearish case is just as straightforward and probably more immediate. A rejection inside the $74,567 to $79,289 band could send Bitcoin into a fresh yearly low.

The Bitcoin price broke above $75,000 earlier this week, marking the highest level for the pioneer cryptocurrency for over one month. But while this move has led to an improvement in the overall investor sentiment, it could end up being a trap. This is called out by analyst TheOnePct, who explained that the correct move could end up being part of a larger Flat correction that began years ago. In this case, it would only be a matter of time before the Bitcoin price falls again. Bitcoin Break Confirms Structural Weakness The analysis follows the Bitcoin price movement since 2021, expressing that this current move is still part of the correction that began almost five years ago after the 2021 bull market. Instead of marking the bottom for BTC, the crypto analyst explains that it is likely a B-wave of the Flat correction. Related Reading: Can Avalanche’s AVAX Rise From The Dead? The Zone That Could Change Everything The current price movements, the analyst suggests, are actually ‘structurally consistent’ with this Flat correction. One of the things that seems to correlate is the fact that the Bitcoin price has been seeing very aggressive declines. It coincides with the C-wave of a flat correction, which spells even more bad luck for the cryptocurrency. Another thing the analyst calls out is that the current C-wave looks to be terminal in nature. This simply means that the current trend is inherently corrective. As a result, it is likely that the price will reverse and fall further even after the correction. What To Expect Interpreting the decline of the Bitcoin price, the analyst says the trend suggests that Wave 1 has actually not bottomed. If that is the case, then the recovery into the $70,000s may only be temporary in nature. Not only this, but that the digital asset is likely forming a Diametric pattern.

Going by this, the crypto analyst says that the Bitcoin price is likely moving through Wave F, which could end up being more complex in terms of the sideways movement. Eventually, though, this is expected to end in a decline, leading into Wave G. Wave G is more bearish than the previous wave, and as the price begins to move through, it is expected to fall below $60,000, bottoming somewhere around $55,000. “BTC has already shown clear structural weakness, and that weakness is likely to continue hunting the market for quite some time,” the analyst said. “Because of this, the market may remain in a bearish environment for longer than most expect.” Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP is beginning to show the kind of price behavior that traders usually watch for when a downtrend starts running out of steam. A technical setup of XRP’s price action shows a cryptocurrency that has already absorbed months of selling pressure and is now trying to build a base above a key support zone.  Although the analysis does not suggest that XRP has already broken into a full bullish trend, it does show that the decline has slowed down, and price is starting to stabilize where buyers are stepping in. A Downtrend That Has Worn Itself Out Technical analysis shows that XRP spent part of September and early October in a consolidation band before rolling over into a broad decline that lasted for months. That downtrend remained intact into early 2026, when another sell-off pushed the price below $1.30 very briefly in February.  Related Reading: Ex-UK Prime Minister Blasts Bitcoin, Here’s What He Said Instead of leading a deeper collapse, however, that drop appears to have created an area where sellers began losing momentum. This drawdown is shown in a clearly defined descending channel visible on the daily chart shared on the social media platform X by crypto analyst BitGuru. The analyst behind the outlook described this as trend exhaustion, and the chart supports that idea. The downward channel that formed from January into February eventually broke down into a stabilization zone, not another leg lower.  XRP then began holding above nearby support, and the price action is now trading around the mid-$1.40s on the chart. That is a notable change from the earlier pattern, because it means that the XRP price is no longer making clean lower lows with the same confidence. XRP Price Chart. Source: @bitgu_ru On X Why The Setup Points To A Move Higher Just as important, the chart places a nearby support band around roughly $1.33 to $1.34, while the invalidation area sits much lower, near the $0.88 region. As long as XRP keeps defending increasingly higher support levels and avoids falling back into that earlier breakdown structure, then there is still the case for a price jump. Related Reading: Why Bitcoin Price Could Stage A Stronger Rally Than Previous Bull Markets The technical analysis shows the XRP price basing just above a green accumulation zone, with an upside path pointing into a broader target area that stretches into the low-$2 range. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $1.52. Sustained strength in the next few days can open the path toward a medium-term recovery.  Based on the levels shown in the chart above, the first price objective is around $1.88. A sustained close above $1.88 would represent a meaningful structural shift and open the door to a retest of levels last seen in early 2026. More ambitious medium-term targets are between $2.09 and $2.20. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin is playing out a price movement that has convinced many traders that October 2025 was the cycle peak. However, an interesting technical analysis shows that the market structure still does not look complete. Analyst CryptoAmsterdam made the case that Bitcoin is moving through a temporary correction inside a much larger phase. If that reading is correct, then Bitcoin could still stage a stronger rally than previous bull markets. Bitcoin May Still Be Inside An Unfinished Macro Bull Cycle Every major Bitcoin bull run has followed a recognizable five-stage sequence: a bull phase, a bear phase, accumulation below the macro range, a disbelief rally back into range, and finally a parabolic move into new all-time highs. This structure has held across the 2013, 2017, and 2021 cycles, each one completing all five stages within roughly a four-year window. The current cycle has not. Related Reading: Pundit Shares What The XRP Float Is Likely To Be For Global Settlement According to CryptoAmsterdam’s analysis, Bitcoin reached a new peak without delivering the characteristic Stage 5 parabolic expansion. The chart comparisons he shared by plotting Bitcoin’s weekly price action against prior cycles show that the 2013, 2017, and 2021 cycles each measured approximately 1,456 to 1,477 days from trough to peak, with Stage 5 accounting for the most explosive price movement in each case. That phase, however, appears structurally absent in the current cycle. Price action has entered a corrective period since the peak at $126,000, but the cycle framework, by this reading, is still open. Price Chart Comparison. Source: @damskotrades On X The technical analysis also shows that price action can look weak on a shorter time frame and still remain bullish on a much larger one. That is where Bitcoin appears to be sitting now. The chart setup shows the recent correction is only a mini-cycle correction forming inside a broader macro continuation. This reading becomes more interesting when placed beside gold and Alphabet. In both examples, price also advanced within a larger macro cycle, paused for a mid-cycle correction, and then resumed higher once that smaller reset was complete.  According to CryptoAmsterdam, Bitcoin could now be doing something similar. If the reading is correct, then Bitcoin’s current price action is Stage 3 of a mini-cycle nested within the larger Stage 5 of that macrocycle. Therefore, the parabolic phase would still be ahead. Gold And Alphabet Inc. Source: @damskotrades On X Possibility Of A New Price High Another reason for a stronger rally is Bitcoin’s tendency to lag other assets. Over the last several years, Bitcoin has often printed macro structures similar to large-cap stocks, only with a delay that can stretch into hundreds of days. That makes Bitcoin look less like the leader of the cycle and more like the final participant. Related Reading: Here’s How Much Needs To Flow Through Ripple For XRP Price To Reach $3,700 Notably, technical analysis shows that gold has always bottomed well before Bitcoin did. For instance, Bitcoin moved higher during gold’s advance in the previous cycle in 2021 but underwent an entire mini-cycle correction while gold was trending straight up. Only when gold completed and topped its parabolic rally did Bitcoin take over into a vertical move, as shown in the chart below. Gold And BTC. Source: @damskotrades On X The next outlook now is that Bitcoin will continue its larger Stage 5 move like we saw with Gold and Google (Alphabet Inc.). The projected move is expected to push the Bitcoin price into macro cycle highs above $200,000. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin’s foray above $70,000, while encouraging, has not really done much to quell the expectations that this is only the start of the bear market. A number of analysts continue to warn investors that this might only be a temporary relief, with the real crash on the way. One of these analysts is HAMED_AZ, who took to the TradingView website to share why the Bitcoin price is still very bearish and why he expects a further crash before the cryptocurrency hits a bottom. Bitcoin Price Still Very Bearish According to HAMED, the Bitcoin price is still very bearish, despite the recent recovery, and this is due to the fact that it continues to trade inside a descending channel. This descending channel appeared on the daily timeframe, and since the price broke below the support at $79,000, it has completely eroded the bullish sentiment. Related Reading: Why The XRP Price Might Crash To $0.87 Before The Bear Market Ends Even now, the Bitcoin price has yet to retest the resistance that has now formed after this support level turned into resistance, showing weakness on the part of the bulls. Another important point that that the analyst makes is that this same zone is closely aligned with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. All of these put together make it an important level to determine the next wave of action. If the cryptocurrency’s price continues to correct below the $79,000-$82,000 level, then it is possible that the price could experience another rejection that could send it crashing lower. This is because this level is an area that bears control. What To Expect In the case of a crash, then the crypto analyst suggests that there could be another 40% price crash. This would mean that the price would eventually fall below $50,000. The bottom for this move is placed somewhere around $47,000, which would mean that the Bitcoin price would be below 60% from all-time high levels. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Can Still Cross $1: Historical Cycle Performance Points To 750% Rally “If price reaches this zone and shows signs of rejection or weakening bullish momentum, the market may experience a bearish rejection, continuing the broader downtrend within the channel,” HAMED explained. “As long as price remains below the supply zone and the upper boundary of the descending channel, the dominant scenario favors a bearish continuation after a pullback into resistance.” On the flip side of this, there is still the possibility that the bulls will reclaim control of the cryptocurrency. This would happen if the Bitcoin price were to rally and break above $82,000. In this case, it would push to the upper boundary of the descending channel, leading to a potential trend reversal.

As the crypto market bounces, a key indicator has flashed a key bullish signal on the Ethereum (ETH) daily chart, suggesting the end of its six-month downtrend could be near. However, some analysts have warned investors of a possible bull trap and a subsequent reversal to new lows. Related Reading: WLFI Holders Face New 6-Month Lockup Rule To Gain Voting Power Ethereum Eyes Trend Reversal Ethereum kicked off the week by breaking above $2,200 for the first time in weeks, reaching a one-month high of $2,320 on Monday morning. The cryptocurrency has been trading between $1,825 and $2,150 since the early February crash, failing to break out of this range despite multiple attempts. Over the past week, the King of Altcoins has bounced 20% from last Sunday’s lows, printing seven consecutive green candles in the daily timeframe. Amid this performance, ETH has weekly closed above the $2,000-$2,150 area, setting the stage for a potential retest of the one-month resistance as support. Market observer MacroCRG affirmed that ETH is currently the strongest out of the big three: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Notably, it has rallied over 9.7% and 14.5% in the weekly and daily timeframes, recording the strongest performance among the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. In addition, it has moved above the 50-day Moving Average (MA) for the first time in 56 days and is back into the 12H Ichimoku Cloud for the first time in 55 days. Analyst Ali Martinez shared that another key indicator used to identify the current market trend had flashed its first bullish signal in six months, which “just signaled the end of the downtrend.” According to the X post, the SuperTrend indicator has flipped from Sell to Buy for the first time since September, highlighting the cryptocurrency’s price breakout and institutional demand. As he noted, in the last two instances in which the SuperTrend showed a Buy signal, Ethereum rallied 52% and 174%, with the latest move leading to its August all-time high (ATH) of $4,946. “We’ve survived the grind from September to March,” the analyst asserted. “The next key levels to watch are $2,400 and $2,600.” Breakout Or Bull Tap? Market watcher Ted Pillows also underscored ETH’s recent performance, asserting that now that $2,150 was reclaimed, “there’s not much resistance for Ethereum until the $2,400 zone.” However, he warned that the bullish momentum may be short-lived, suggesting a bull trap could be unfolding and a reversal toward its potential market bottom could follow the ongoing price move. “IMO, ETH could tap the $2,400 zone, as I have been saying for days, before a reversal to new lows,” the X post reads. Related Reading: XRP Gearing Up For 1,300% Rally? Analyst Sets Bold $48 Target For Next Bull Run The analyst explained that Ethereum has been trading sideways, consolidating between two key liquidity clusters: one around $2,200-$2,600 and another around $1,400-$1,700. He suggested that both liquidity clusters will be taken out in the near future. “First, Ethereum could rally towards the $2,400 level to wipe out late shorts. Then, ETH will start its reversal and hit new lows,” he cautioned. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

The dogecoin price trending below $1 means that the meme coin is still around a 1,000% rally from hitting the coveted $1 level. Despite the expectations over the years, the digital asset has not performed well, instead ending its 2024 rally before it even got to its present all-time high of $0.74. However, this poor performance has not dissuaded investors, with one analyst predicting that the Dogecoin price will indeed end up hitting $1. Using Previous Cycles To Predict Price Trajectory Crypto analyst Javon Marks has predicted the trajectory of the Dogecoin price using the performance of the meme coin in the last few cycles. So far, there has been a consistent trend showing that the cryptocurrency has staged a major recovery with each cycle. While there was an over 500% surge in 2024, it has fallen short of the explosive rallies that investors have come to expect. Related Reading: XRP Negative Funding Continues, Crashes To Levels Not Seen Since 2022 Instead of an actual breakout, the analyst classifies the performance between 2023 and 2025 as being part of a stagnation period. What this means is that the Dogecoin price is still in a build-up phase that would lead to its next rally. If the trend holds, then it is possible that Dogecoin could see another explosive rally in 2026. A breakout from the bottom, somewhere around $0.09, would define the rally and set the tone to hit the first target. This target lies at $0.739, which would be a 750% rally. Next on the target list is the $1.25 level, meaning that the price would have to rise around 1,100% to complete this move. Then, the final target is placed somewhere above $1.80, and this would mean an over 2,000% move for the meme coin. Dogecoin Could Be Marking A Bottom Another analyst, CryptoAnalystSignal, on the TradingView website, has also proposed that the Dogecoin price might be hitting a bottom. This is because the price had been moving inside a descending channel on the one-hour chart. Usually, when the price reaches the lower boundary of this channel, as Dogecoin has done, it results in a bounce. Rising from this descending channel would mean that a possible bottom was in.

As XRP anticipates a potential rally toward a key short-term resistance level, an analyst has set a bold target for the cryptocurrency’s long-term performance, suggesting that the altcoin could soar by over 1,300% during the next bull run. Related Reading: Ethereum Eyes $2,100 Retest As BlackRock Debuts Staked ETH ETF XRP Targets $48 In Next Bull Run On Friday, XRP joined the broader market rebound, experiencing a 3.5% surge and reaching a one-week high of $1.45. Over the past month, the cryptocurrency has been oscillating between $1.20 and $1.50, hovering above the upper area of this range. Amid this performance, analyst Ali Martinez shared a bold prediction for XRP’s price in the next bull run, suggesting a massive rally could unfold in the coming years based on a multi-year pattern. According to the chart, the altcoin has been forming an ascending triangle pattern on the monthly chart since 2018, when it rallied around 1,500% over two months to its old all-time high (ATH). XRP has traded between the $3.30 horizontal resistance and the ascending trendline over the past eight years, marking the bottom and peak of each rally during the last two cycles. The analyst suggested the altcoin could continue to move within this pattern until the next bull run and potentially rally 1,350% to the $48 target once it breaks through the multi-year resistance. Similarly, market observer Chard Nerd shared XRP’s macro chart but highlighted a potential retest of a resistance-turned-support instead. He noted that the cryptocurrency broke out of a multi-year symmetrical triangle pattern when the price soared past its eight-year resistance during the Q4 2024 market rally. Per the post, XRP could test the pattern’s neckline, currently around the $0.70-$0.80 area, as support in the coming months before beginning to recover from the bear market lows. Is A March-April Rally Brewing? In a Friday video analysis, Chart Nerd also shared a short-term outlook for XRP, highlighting its attempt to break out of a one-month symmetrical triangle on the daily timeframe after today’s pump. As he explained, the altcoin’s price has been compressing between a major level of resistance and a major level of ascending support over the past five weeks, which could target a 25% rally in the next few weeks as it approaches the tighter range of its apex. The apex does have a date (…) we’re looking towards the end of March, 25th of March, where XRP could, if it rejects from this $1.42-$1.43 level, (…) get really tight and compressed into a corner to look for a decision. The analyst suggested that the pattern’s upper boundary has been a major level of resistance throughout February, which could squeeze XRP’s price “into this apex towards the end of March” before potentially choosing its next direction.

If XRP breaks out of this apex to the upside and reclaims the $1.50 horizontal resistance, it will validate a move toward the $1.80-$2.00 area, which he previously called “a critical inflection point,” by the end of March or start of April.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has expanded its digital assets offering and debuted its staked Ethereum (ETH) Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) on Nasdaq. Amid the news, the King of Altcoins is attempting to break out of its local range to challenge its bearish outlook. Related Reading: BNB Chain Dominates 40% Of Global Stablecoin Transactions With Small-Value Transfers BlackRock Debuts Staked Ethereum ETF On Thursday, BlackRock introduced the iShares Staked Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHB) on Nasdaq to “provide investors with exposure to spot ether while potentially generating income by staking a portion of its ether holdings.” The ETH-based fund expands the asset management giant’s digital asset suite, which includes the largest Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) of their kind, the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) and the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHA). As reported by NewsBTC, BlackRock submitted an S-1 form with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for its ETHB fund in December. The registration statement revealed that the fund sought to stake 70% to 90% of its Ethereum holdings and distribute staking rewards to stakeholders at least quarterly. The fund is set to share 82% of staking rewards with investors, while the remaining 18% will be split among the trust, custodians, and its staking service providers. BlackRock chose Coinbase Custody Trust as the custodian for the Trust’s ETH holdings, while Anchorage Digital Bank will serve as an available alternative custodian for the Trust’s ether holdings. Meanwhile, the Bank of New York Mellon is the Trust’s cash holdings custodian and administrator, according to the fund’s prospectus. In the official statement, Jessica Tan, Head of Americas for Global Product Solutions at BlackRock, affirmed that “Investors are increasingly allocating to digital assets as part of their strategic portfolio construction, and ETHB provides access to income and exposure to the asset in a convenient, transparent way.” “We continue to innovate to meet client demand and expand access, while providing the transparency and risk management clients expect from BlackRock,” she continued. ETH Price Holds Amid Breakdown Fears Following the news, ETH’s price broke above the $2,090 level to reach a one-week high of $2,095 before retracing. Analyst Ted Pillows noted that despite market volatility, the cryptocurrency has held the $2,000 psychological barrier throughout the past three days. “The macro uncertainty is still there, but Ethereum’s overall strength is good,” he said, adding that the King of Altcoins needs to reclaim the crucial $2,150 area for a rally. He forecasted that Ethereum could see a “10%-15% quick rally” once this level is reclaimed. Meanwhile, Rekt Capital underscored a critical level on ETH’s weekly and monthly charts. As previously reported, ETH is currently testing its multi-year uptrend, a structural support that has held since mid-2022. Last month, Ethereum marginally closed below its multi-year support, opening the possibility for this level to become resistance on March’s monthly close. On the weekly timeframe, ETH has recorded four consecutive closes below the trendline, suggesting the market is likely beginning to treat this key level as resistance instead of support. “Structurally, this behaviour resembles the early stage of a breakdown process, where price initially loses support, rallies back into it and begins treating the level as resistance,” the analyst explained, but emphasized that the breakdown is not confirmed yet. Related Reading: Hyperliquid Rockets as Oil Touches $100: Arthur Hayes Reveals Why Therefore, Ethereum could invalidate the bearish scenario if the price closes the week above the multi-year uptrend and successfully tests it as support. “A successful reclaim could then open the door toward the green resistance region above, which has historically acted as a major pivot in Ethereum’s broader trend,” he concluded.

A new chart analysis from market technician Johnathan Carter highlights a defining stage in the current price cycle of Dogecoin. In a chart shared on X, Carter shows the meme coin trading within a descending channel on the daily timeframe, a structure that outlines both its present position in the trend and the price levels that could shape the next market move. Dogecoin’s Position Inside The Descending Channel Carter’s chart shows a clearly defined descending channel that has shaped Dogecoin price action for several months. The structure is formed by two downward-sloping parallel trendlines that continue to guide the asset’s pattern of lower highs and lower lows, outlining the broader corrective phase that has dominated the market during this period. Within this formation, Dogecoin is currently trading close to the channel’s midline. This level often acts as a temporary equilibrium point where the price pauses and stabilizes before deciding its next direction.  Running through the pattern is the 50-day moving average, which further reflects the prevailing downward trend. Throughout the decline, this indicator has repeatedly acted as a dynamic resistance, limiting several recovery attempts. Related Reading: Bitcoin S2F Model Says BTC Price Is Headed To $500,000, Here’s When While this broader structure remains bearish, the lower section of the channel aligns with a clearly defined support zone between roughly $0.088 and $0.09. Recent candles have formed around this region, showing that the price is consolidating close to the base of the formation after the extended downward move. This positioning is central to Carter’s interpretation of Dogecoin’s current cycle stage. With Dogecoin stabilizing near the lower portion of the channel while holding above support, the chart places the asset in the accumulation stage of the pattern.  Projected Recovery Path And Key Upside Milestones From this consolidation area, Carter outlines a sequence of levels that could shape Dogecoin’s next upward move if the price begins to rebound. The first objective appears at $0.100, representing the nearest psychological and structural barrier above the current trading range. If Dogecoin pushes beyond that level, the chart highlights additional milestones at $0.116 and $0.135. These zones previously acted as reaction areas within the descending channel, where price movements slowed or reversed during earlier stages of the downtrend. Related Reading: Why Did Bitcoin Price Crash To $67,000, And Ethereum Price Fell Below $2,000? Further up the structure, the next projected targets sit at $0.153 and $0.182. These levels lie in the upper half of the channel, meaning a move toward them would signal strengthening bullish momentum following the recent consolidation phase. The final level identified on the chart appears near $0.206, aligning with the upper boundary of the descending channel that Carter marks as a broader resistance zone. Reaching this region would suggest Dogecoin is moving from the lower support area toward the top of the channel. In that context, the current price zone could serve as a base for a rebound toward successive resistance levels. During this phase, selling pressure may ease as buyers gradually step in, creating conditions for a recovery toward the upper half of the channel.

XRP’s prolonged decline has seen its price down more than 60% from its 2025 peak, placing it inside what can be viewed as an extended corrective phase. As expected, this has led to questions among crypto investors as to whether XRP can still go on a rally this year that would see it push to new all-time highs and possibly above $4.  One analyst has now laid out a scenario suggesting XRP could soon complete its correction and begin another upward wave that may eventually push the price to new highs. XRP May Be Nearing The End Of A Long Corrective Phase The prevailing discussion around XRP’s decline in the past few months has largely centered on the cryptocurrency topping out at its summer 2025 all-time high of $3.65. According to one analyst posting on X, that reading may be fundamentally incorrect. Related Reading: Expert Trader Shows ‘Simple Math’ To Calculate The Bitcoin Price Bottom Based on this analysis, the impulsive wave for XRP completed as far back as January 2025, when XRP reached a peak above $3.30. This was several months before the all-time high was printed. The subwaves originating from July 2024 fit best as an impulsive structure that concluded in January 2025, with the price action that followed, including the ATH, forming a corrective pattern. The last major corrective stretch on the weekly chart lasted 61 weeks from top to bottom and erased about 85% of XRP’s value before the next meaningful recovery began. Applying that same time window to the January 2025 high would place the current correction close to completion around mid-March 2026. XRP Price Chart. Source: @protechtor On X As shown in the chart above, XRP’s earlier correction after 2021 unfolded inside a descending channel and lasted 61 bars, or 427 days, before finding a low. The price decline during that phase reached about 85.34%. The current structure on the right side of the chart is looking like that earlier breakdown in both shape and duration. This time, the decline has so far reached about 71.52%, with the same 61-week duration highlighted as a key timing marker.  A descending trendline cuts through the current price structure and converges at $1.05. According to the analyst, that level could serve as the final downside target if XRP has not already bottomed. Can XRP Still Reach $4 In 2026? A move to $4 in 2026 would require XRP to do far more than just bounce from support, but the scenario is not unrealistic if the current correction is approaching its end. A rally from the analyst’s suggested downside at $1.05 to $4 would represent a gain of about 281%. Even from the price zone shown on the chart, around $1.38, XRP would still need to climb 200% to reclaim and break beyond the upper boundary of the current corrective structure. Related Reading: Bitcoin Liquidation Map Predicts The Next Targets To Watch Out For A confirmed monthly bottom followed by a strong push above the horizontal resistance area at $1.80 would likely be the first signal. From there, the upper trendline of the current structure and the prior highs around the $3.4 to $3.6 range would become the next price targets. This is where the $4 discussion will become more realistic. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
