According to a recent CryptoQuant Quicktake post, short-term Bitcoin (BTC) holders are choosing to retain their digital assets despite incurring unrealized losses. CryptoQuant contributor Onchained explained that short-term BTC holders have recorded significantly lower realized losses compared to their unrealized losses. Short-Term Bitcoin Holders Expecting A Price Rally? The first quarter of 2025 has been marked by high price volatility in the cryptocurrency market, including Bitcoin. BTC has dropped from approximately $97,000 on January 1 to around $83,000 at the time of writing, reflecting a decline of more than 15%. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whales Make Big Moves As Bullish Momentum Resurfaces Despite this price pullback, short-term BTC holders continue to hold onto their assets instead of selling at a loss. CryptoQuant contributor Onchained analyzed the Short-Term Holder Net Realized PNL to Exchanges, highlighting a shift in selling behavior. According to the analyst, BTC holders who have owned their coins for one to three months have been the most active sellers in recent days, even at the cost of realizing losses. This is unusual, as short-term investors holding BTC for less than a week are typically the most reactive sellers. However, recent data shows a significant decline in selling pressure to cryptocurrency exchanges. This suggests that BTC holders who purchased their coins in the last six months are opting to hold onto their assets rather than panic sell. This shift in selling behavior among short-term holders could have multiple implications. A decline in selling pressure may indicate a change in investor sentiment, with holders willing to endure short-term losses in anticipation of long-term gains. While the analyst cautioned that this data does not predict future price movements, it does provide valuable insights into market psychology. The analysis states: Are short-term holders finally holding the line? If so, this could reduce downside volatility and set the stage for stabilization, or even a reversal. Onchained concluded that short-term holders currently control 28% of BTC’s circulating supply. If a significant portion of these holdings transitions to long-term holders, it could pave the way for Bitcoin’s price to surge beyond $150,000. Is BTC About To Stage A Comeback? Alongside the decline in short-term BTC selling pressure, several other exchange-related metrics suggest the possibility of an upcoming price surge for the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks Daily RSI Downtrend, But Analyst Warns Of Strong Resistance Ahead Recently, crypto entrepreneur and market commentator Arthur Hayes claimed that BTC “probably” hit this market cycle’s bottom during its plunge to $77,000 on March 10. However, Hayes noted that the stock market could still experience further pullbacks. While Bitcoin has been in a downtrend for the past few months, gold has surged to multiple new all-time highs (ATHs) due to ongoing global macroeconomic uncertainty. BTC’s poor performance against the precious metal is likely to continue as the US trade tariff threat looms. At press time, BTC trades at $83,953, up 2.2% in the past 24 hours.

Solana started a fresh decline below the $132 support zone. SOL price is now consolidating and might struggle to recover above the $126 resistance. SOL price started a recovery wave from the $122 support zone against the US Dollar. The price is now trading below $130 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a key rising channel forming with support at $124 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if the bulls clear the $126 zone. Solana Price Faces Resistance Solana price started a fresh decline below the $135 and $132 levels, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL even declined below the $125 support level before the bulls appeared. A low was formed at $122.64 and the price recently started a consolidation phase. There was a minor increase above the $125 level. The price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $140 swing high to the $122 low. Solana is now trading below $126 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a key rising channel forming with support at $124 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $126 level. The next major resistance is near the $128 level. The main resistance could be $132 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $140 swing high to the $122 low. A successful close above the $132 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $136. Any more gains might send the price toward the $142 level. Another Decline in SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $128 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $124 zone. The first major support is near the $122 level. A break below the $122 level might send the price toward the $115 zone. If there is a close below the $115 support, the price could decline toward the $102 support in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for SOL/USD is losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for SOL/USD is above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $124 and $122. Major Resistance Levels – $128 and $132.
In an X post shared today, acclaimed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez identified two key resistance levels that Ethereum (ETH) must reclaim to confirm a bullish trend reversal. Additionally, ETH is showing signs of bullish divergence on the daily chart, raising optimism among holders that a rally may be closer than expected. Ethereum Must Overcome These Levels For Further Upside Unlike rival cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP, ETH’s recent price action has disappointed most of its holders. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is down 49.2% over the past year, in stark contrast to BTC’s 18.5% gain over the same period. Related Reading: Is Ethereum Breaking Free from the Bear Trap? Analysts Weigh In Sharing the following daily chart, Martinez highlighted two critical resistance levels that ETH must surpass to reverse its price trajectory. The analyst stated: Ethereum $ETH needs to reclaim $2,100, and more decisively, $2,300, to confirm a bullish trend reversal. These are the levels to watch! To recall, ETH last traded at the $2,100 level earlier this month on March 9. Interestingly, the digital asset also plunged to as low as $1,754 on the same day, its lowest price in more than a year. After reclaiming $2,100, ETH will need to overcome the more significant $2,300 resistance level. A clear breakout above $2,300 could signal renewed bullish momentum. Meanwhile, altcoin analyst @altcoinrookie shared a bearish forecast for Ethereum, predicting that ETH will dip to $1,200 by June 2025 before reaching new all-time highs (ATHs). ETH Showing Signs Of Bullish Divergence While these analyses suggest short- to mid-term challenges for ETH, crypto trader Merlijn The Trade provided a more optimistic outlook. The analyst shared the following ETH daily chart, noting that the asset is displaying bullish divergence. For the uninitiated, the RSI is a momentum indicator that helps traders and investors to determine when the underlying asset may be overbought or oversold. RSI bullish divergence occurs when the RSI forms higher lows while the price forms lower lows, indicating weakening selling pressure and a potential trend reversal to the upside. Related Reading: Ethereum Gained 160% The Last Time This On-Chain Indicator Flashed – Will ETH Soar Again? The trader further pointed out that although ETH’s price continues to make lower lows, its daily RSI is forming a contrasting trend. Merlijn also shared a two-week ETH price chart, highlighting how Ethereum has historically rebounded from a critical support level since early 2024, often posting significant returns after each bounce. That said, rising ETH reserves on crypto exchanges remain a concern, potentially extending ETH’s price suppression. At press time, ETH trades at $1,840, up 2.1% in the past 24 hours.

XRP’s price has slipped by 4.7% in the past 24 hours, continuing a pattern of high volatility that has defined much of March. Amid this decline, however, some see opportunity, with one popular analyst identifying an interesting reversal pattern that could turn the tide to bullish trajectory. Related Reading: Bitcoin And Ethereum Face $14 Billion Options Expiry—Market Impact Ahead? Inverse Head And Shoulders Pattern Appears On XRP Chart XRP has extended its decline run from $2.47 into the past 24 hours. Particulary, XRP is currently down by 13.8% in the past three days and now looks like it could easily break below $2.10. Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto took to social media platform X to highlight what he called a “most probably inverse head and shoulders” pattern currently unfolding on XRP’s daily timeframe. The pattern, which has been developing since early March, is now in the final stages of forming the second shoulder. As such, this phase might still see further short-term downside, as XRP potentially dips again to complete the structure of the second shoulder before a breakout rally. If confirmed, the inverse head and shoulders would lead to a strong bullish reversal, which is going to be significant given XRP’s recent price retracement. According to Egrag Crypto, the measured move from the completion of this formation could send the price to a price range between $3.7 and $3.9. Analyst Says XRP Could Reach All-Time High In 90 To 120 Days The inverse head and shoulder analysis is part of a bullish outlook that suggests that the XRP price can reach a new all-time high within the next 90 to 120 days. This prediction, also made by Egrag Crypto, is based on a recurring pattern observed in XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) across past bull markets. He pointed out that during the 2017 and 2021 cycles, the RSI indicator on XRP exhibited two distinct peaks, with the second peak coming between 90 to 120 days after the first peak. The second RSI peak in 2017 occurred about 120 days after the first peak. A similar scenario occurred in 2021, although the interval between the first and second RSI highs was shorter at just 90 days. This trend sets the stage for a historic surge that could align with the breakout from the current inverse head and shoulders setup. So far in this cycle, XRP has already completed its first RSI peak, reaching as high as 85.17 toward the end of 2024. Following that, the RSI has been on a long cooldown phase, dipping to a low of 65. At the time of writing, the RSI sits around 66, and a bounce is expected from here, which is to peak sometime around June.

Retail sentiment toward Ethereum (ETH) remains weak, but analysts suggest that a significant breakout could be on the horizon. Despite Ethereum’s sluggish price action, multiple on-chain indicators and technical patterns hint at an impending bullish reversal. Ethereum Retail Sentiment At Low Amid Sluggish Price Action According to cryptocurrency analyst Mister Crypto, retail interest in ETH is “extremely low,” as indicated by Google Trends data. Compared to its 2017 and 2021 peaks, Ethereum’s current sentiment ranks significantly lower, suggesting that many retail investors are sitting on the sidelines. Historically, low retail sentiment often signals a prime buying opportunity for institutional investors looking to accumulate assets before the next price surge. While weak sentiment reflects a lack of confidence among small investors, institutions tend to take advantage of such conditions, positioning themselves ahead of the next bullish cycle. Related Reading: Is Ethereum Breaking Free from the Bear Trap? Analysts Weigh In Despite the pessimism, crypto analyst Ted pointed out that the potential approval of an Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) staking and the upcoming Pectra update could serve as key catalysts for a breakout. He suggests that these developments may help Ethereum regain momentum and push its price toward new highs. Fellow analyst Crypto Patel echoed this sentiment, noting that ETH is currently consolidating within an accumulation range. Based on historical price cycles and on-chain data, Patel expects Ethereum to break out after April, with a long-term target of $10,000. Additionally, analyst Titan of Crypto highlighted a bullish crossover on Ethereum’s weekly Stochastic RSI, a signal that has historically marked market bottoms. He suggests that ETH may be nearing the end of its bearish cycle, setting the stage for a strong rally. Further Pain For ETH? Sharing a contrasting viewpoint, noted crypto analyst Ali Martinez emphasized that there has been “no change in the outlook for Ethereum.” The analyst hinted that ETH is still likely to hit the lower-end of its current price range at $1,300. However, some on-chain indicators suggest Ethereum may already be undervalued. An analysis using the Market Value to Realized Value Z-score (MVRV-Z) indicates that ETH is trading at levels historically associated with price rebounds. This metric, which compares Ethereum’s market value to its realized value, suggests that ETH might be primed for accumulation. Related Reading: Ethereum Flashing Bullish Signals, But Rising Exchange Reserves Raise Concerns – Details For Ethereum to confirm a bullish reversal, it must break through strong resistance at $2,300. A successful breakout could push ETH toward $3,000 in the short term. Failure to surpass this level, however, might result in extended consolidation or another price decline. At press time, ETH trades at $2,007, down 0.5% in the last 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from X and Tradingview.com
On-chain data suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) whales – cryptocurrency wallets holding significant BTC amounts – have resumed accumulation after a brief period of dormancy. Bitcoin Accumulation Rises Among Whales In an X post published today, seasoned crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted a notable increase in BTC whale activity. He shared the following chart showing that 48 new wallets now hold 100 or more BTC. A surge in whale accumulation often signals rising confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value. The leading digital asset has climbed over 15% from its March 10 low of approximately $76,600. As of writing, BTC is trading in the high $80,000s. Related Reading: Bitcoin Surge Fueled by $32B in Open Interest—Here’s What Could Happen Next Renewed optimism around BTC’s price trajectory stems from several recent macroeconomic developments, including cooler than expected Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data for February and reports of US President Donald Trump adopting a softer stance on retaliatory tariffs scheduled to go into effect from April 2. On-chain intelligence firm Arkham reported long-dormant BTC whales becoming active again. In an X post, the firm highlighted how a wallet that held $3 million worth of BTC in 2017, recently became active after 8 years, with its holdings now valued at close to $250 million. Fellow crypto analyst Crypto Rover shared the following chart, illustrating a sharp rise in whale accumulation since late 2024. It is worth noting that the data excludes wallets tied to non-US exchanges and US Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Is BTC Eyeing A New Record High? Several crypto analysts believe BTC may have already bottomed out this cycle and entered a new bullish phase, potentially setting the stage for a fresh all-time high (ATH). Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Bullish Pattern Returns – Is A Massive Uptrend Imminent? Noted crypto entrepreneur and former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes recently suggested that BTC ‘probably’ hit this cycle’s bottom during the March 10 dip to $76,600. Hayes added that while bottom may be in for BTC, stocks could still face further downside. Momentum indicators – such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) – also appear bullish. Bitcoin’s daily RSI recently broke out of a multi-month downtrend, fuelling hopes of sustained upward momentum. Additionally, Martinez projected that BTC could surge to $112,000 if it decisively breaks the $94,000 resistance level. However, a drop below $76,000 could open the door to a deeper decline, potentially falling to $58,000. Moreover, in their latest investor memo, digital asset management firm Bitwise hinted that on a risk-adjusted basis, now could be an opportune time to buy BTC. As of press time, BTC is trading at $88,069, up 1% in the last 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from X and TradingView.com
The double top pattern typically requires confirmation through a decisive drop below the "neckline," the support level between the two peaks, which lies around $80,000 to $84,000 based on recent price action.
After hitting a low of nearly $76,000 on March 10, Bitcoin (BTC) has finally broken its daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) downtrend, now trading in the high $80,000s at the time of writing. However, crypto analyst Ali Martinez warns that strong resistance may lie ahead. Bitcoin Finally Breaks Daily RSI Downtrend In a recent X post, crypto analyst Rekt Capital highlighted that BTC has broken through a multi-month RSI downtrend. The analyst shared a Bitcoin daily chart, showing how the leading cryptocurrency’s RSI has broken free from a prolonged downtrend that began at the start of the year. For the uninitiated, the RSI is a momentum indicator that suggests when the underlying asset – in this case, BTC – may be overbought or oversold. A rising RSI after sustained downtrend can indicate growing bullish momentum and a possible trend reversal. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Hit $112,000, But Only If It Holds Above This Key Level – Analyst Explains Fellow crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader echoed Rekt Capital’s analysis, stating that the RSI breakout confirms bullish momentum and could pave the way for a significant price rally. Another key indicator turned bullish this week – the Bitcoin Hash Ribbons. In an X post, crypto analyst Robert Mercer noted: One of the most accurate mid-term indicator is bullish now. Expecting BTC to go back above $100,000 in Q2 of 2025! To explain, the Hash Ribbons indicator turning bullish signals that Bitcoin miners – after a period of capitulation – are returning to the network, suggesting mining recovery and reduced selling pressure. This often marks a strong buy signal, and has historically aligned with the end of bear markets and the start of new uptrends. Analyst Warns Of Stiff Resistance Ahead Despite BTC’s more than 15% surge from its March 10 low, seasoned analyst Ali Martinez cautions that the top digital asset is likely to encounter strong resistance around the $89,000 level. Martinez explained: Bitcoin $BTC faces a key resistance cluster at $89,000, where the 50-day moving average and the descending trendline from the all-time high converge. That said, several positive macroeconomic factors could support BTC’s bullish momentum. In a recent analysis, crypto analyst The M2 Guy emphasized that the expanding M2 money supply is likely to benefit risk-on assets like BTC. Related Reading: Bitcoin ‘Probably’ Hit Its Bottom At $77,000, Arthur Hayes Says However, other cryptocurrency analysts – such as Maartunn – argued that BTC must decisively clear the $87,000 price level to have a shot at sustained upward price movement.

XRP's price struggles to build momentum on the SEC news, with key indicators warning of a bearish shift in trend.
Solana started a recovery wave above the $132 resistance zone. SOL price is now consolidating and might struggle to recover above the $150 resistance. SOL price started a recovery wave from the $125 support zone against the US Dollar. The price is now trading above $130 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $134 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start a fresh increase if the bulls clear the $142 zone. Solana Price Faces Resistance Solana price started a recovery wave from the $125 zone, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL was able to climb above the $132 and $140 resistance levels. The price even cleared the $142 level, but it faced resistance near $145. A high was formed at $145 and the price started a downside correction. There was a move below the $142 level. The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $125 swing low to the $145 high. Solana is now trading above $130 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $134 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $140 level. The next major resistance is near the $142 level. The main resistance could be $145. A successful close above the $145 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $150. Any more gains might send the price toward the $162 level. Another Decline in SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $142 resistance, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $135 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $125 swing low to the $145 high. The first major support is near the $133 level. A break below the $133 level might send the price toward the $125 zone. If there is a close below the $125 support, the price could decline toward the $114 support in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for SOL/USD is losing pace in the bullish zone. Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for SOL/USD is below the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $135 and $133. Major Resistance Levels – $142 and $145.
In an X post published yesterday, seasoned crypto analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that, based on price band analysis, Bitcoin (BTC) could surge to $112,000 if it breaks and holds above a key level. Analyst Outlines Key Bitcoin Level Following a slight uptick after the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) announcement to slow the pace of its balance sheet drawdown, Bitcoin is currently trading in the low $80,000 price range. However, according to Martinez, the leading cryptocurrency could reach a new all-time high (ATH), subject to certain conditions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Needs Weekly Close Above This Level To Confirm Market Bottom, Analyst Says Using Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) Extreme Deviation Pricing Bands, Martinez pointed to two crucial price levels that could determine Bitcoin’s next major move. According to the analyst, if BTC breaks and holds above $94,000, it has a ‘high probability’ of rallying to $112,000. On the flip side, if BTC falls below $76,000, it risks plunging to $58,000 – or even $44,000 – if market conditions turn bearish. Notably, BTC previously hit $76,606 on March 10 before rebounding to its current range in the low $80,000s. For the uninitiated, MVRV Extreme Deviation Pricing Bands show whether an asset, like Bitcoin, is priced too high or too low compared to its past averages. It helps spot when the market might be overbought – potential market top – or oversold – potential buying opportunity. According to Martinez’s chart, BTC is currently trading between the mean – yellow band – and +0.5 standard deviation – orange band. A sustained breakout above or below these bands could indicate Bitcoin’s next significant price direction. Fellow crypto analyst Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin is re-testing the crucial $84,000 support level. A successful hold at this price could set BTC up to challenge the $94,000 resistance, potentially paving the way for a new ATH. The analyst stated: BTC has produced long wicks below this level before which is why a Daily Close above $84k is essential for this retest to be successful. Will BTC Witness A Short Squeeze? In a separate X post, crypto trader Merlijn The Trader suggested that widespread pessimism around BTC’s recent price action might fuel a powerful short squeeze. According to the analyst, roughly $2 billion worth of short positions could be liquidated if BTC reaches $87,000 – potentially driving the price even higher. Related Reading: Is Bitcoin Undervalued? Crypto Sentiment Index Flashes “Massive Contrarian Buy Signal” Adding to the bullish outlook, crypto entrepreneur Arthur Hayes suggested that BTC’s March 10 drop to $77,000 may have marked the bottom of this market cycle.

MSTR's recent price action is exact inverse of the BTC topping pattern from January that warned of a price sell-off.
According to an X post by crypto analyst Mister Crypto, Ethereum (ETH) could be on the verge of a massive rally. The analyst highlighted similarities between the current ETH price action and that of 2020, following the COVID market crash. Ethereum On The Cusp Of Trend Reversal? Ethereum’s subdued price action may soon come to an end, as multiple analysts point toward a potential trend reversal for the second-largest cryptocurrency by reported market cap. Analyst Mister Crypto shared the following chart, outlining the similar chart patterns. In the chart, the analyst illustrates how ETH is currently forming a price pattern similar to what was observed during the COVID pandemic in 2020. At that time, ETH experienced a sharp trend reversal to the upside following the infamous March 2020 crash. Related Reading: Ethereum Gained 160% The Last Time This On-Chain Indicator Flashed – Will ETH Soar Again? Similarly, ETH may be preparing to resume bullish momentum after the recent Bybit exchange hack. For the uninitiated, the Bybit crypto exchange hack resulted in ETH worth $1.5 billion being stolen. Mister Crypto’s thoughts were echoed by fellow crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader. In a separate X post, the analyst stated that ETH is likely repeating its historical cycle, which typically sees capitulation before a massive run-up. In addition to the COVID crash, the analyst highlighted the Luna crash of 2022 as another instance when bearish sentiment surrounding ETH was at its peak. However, the digital asset quickly overcame the pessimism, going on to experience a massive 270% rally. Multiple Indicators Point Toward ETH Rally Beyond the bullish historical patterns, multiple indicators suggest a potential rally for ETH. In an X post, crypto analyst TraderPA remarked that Ethereum is currently oversold at its present price and that the weekly Stochastic Relative Strength Index (RSI) is signaling a potential rebound. To explain, the weekly Stochastic RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the relative position of an asset’s current price within its recent price range over a week. When the fast line (blue) crosses above the slow line (orange) in the oversold zone, it signals potential upward momentum, indicating a buying opportunity. Related Reading: Ethereum Weekly RSI Drops To Lowest Level Since May 2022 – More Selling Pressure Ahead? Furthermore, crypto analyst Decode highlighted the importance of Elliott Wave Theory in predicting ETH’s price momentum. The analyst explained: Sentiment on Ethereum is bearish beyond anything I have ever seen, so whilst lower targets are still available, it’s possible we’ve done enough at the 1.236 extension of C vs A to complete this wave 4. The eventual reversal will be the most hated rally ever seen in crypto. That said, rising ETH exchange reserves could delay any quick price recovery. At press time, ETH trades at $1,911, up 0.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, Charts from X and TradingView.com
In an X post published yesterday, crypto analyst Matthew Hyland highlighted that according to the weekly timeframe chart, Bitcoin (BTC) is likely to test the support level between $69,000 to $74,000 in the coming months. Is The Bitcoin Bottom In? Hyland noted that BTC’s weekly resistance level currently hovers around the $90,500 level. The analyst emphasized that if BTC has a weekly close above $89,000, then it may indicate that the market bottom is in. He added: If we do get a weekly close above this area ($89,000 to $91,000), I think the low is in for Bitcoin, and we are not going down to this area. To recall, BTC last traded above $89,000 earlier this month on March 9. From there, the cryptocurrency experienced a breakdown to lower price levels, primarily due to rising macroeconomic uncertainties due to US President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs on numerous countries. Related Reading: Bitcoin Slips Under 200-Day Moving Average – Will The Downtrend Continue? According to data from cryptocurrency exchange Binance, after failing to defend the $89,000 level, BTC ended up falling as low as $76,606 on March 10. Since then, the digital asset has made slight recovery, buoyed by lower than anticipated US CPI inflation data and is currently trading in the low $80,000 level. BTC Faces Strong Resistance At $86,100 Similarly, in a recent Quicktake post on CryptoQuant, analyst Yonsei_dent highlighted the significance of short-term holder (STH) Realized Price in determining the digital asset’s future price trajectory. Related Reading: Bitcoin Uptrend Soon? Dollar Index Breakdown Sparks Optimism Among BTC Bulls For the uninitiated, Bitcoin’s Realized Price refers to the average acquisition cost of investors while STH refers to holders who have held BTC for less than six months. These investors are typically more sensitive to market movements. The analyst remarked that the weighted average Realized Price for STHs who have held BTC for one week to six months lies around $91,800, suggesting that these investors are currently in a loss position. The three months to six months STH cohort has a Realized Price of $86,100, denoting a strong resistance level for the digital asset in the short-term. Notably, this group of holders has the highest share of Realized Cap among STHs, hinting that selling pressure could magnify around this price level. With regard to major support levels, long-term holders (LTH) with a holding time of six months to twelve months have a Realized Price of $63,700. The post adds: The highest volume profile over the past year is concentrated around $64,000. This reinforces the idea that this area could serve as a strong support level. If BTC fails to clear some of its immediate resistance levels, there is a high possibility that it may follow Arthur Hayes prediction of finding a bottom around $70,000. That said, several indicators suggest that BTC may be undervalued at its current market price. At press time, BTC trades at $81,745, up 0.7% in the past 24 hours.

Ripple’s XRP, one of the top-performing cryptos last year, is trading between $2.15 and $2.30. The token’s current price is a far cry from its 52-week high of $3.38 last January 17th, which was spurred by the industry’s excitement over US President Donald Trump’s reelection. Related Reading: $931 Million Bitcoin On The Move: Mt.

According to crypto analyst Egrag Crypto, Ripple’s XRP is set for another price run after it compares the asset’s current Elliot Wave structure with its 2017 fractals. XRP Continues To Weather The Storm Egrag Crypto’s latest price analysis and projection for XRP come as the altcoin and the broader crypto market slump. The Ripple’s coin is holding steady above the critical $2 price support, which suggests it follows the broad five-wave Elliott Wave chart.

Traders And Investors Must Watch Out For The Larger Wave Structure In a Twitter/X post, Egrag explained that XRP is in its corrective wave two and is primed for a price run to double digits or even over $100. The analysts elaborated that a Wave 2 often retraces a part of Wave 1, usually matching 50%, 76% or even 85.4% of the initial movement. Ripple’s XRP, he shares, is solidifying its hold in the correction phase. The asset faces bearish pressure, and the market can expect a double bottom soon before it moves into its Wave 3. EGRAG warns that Wave 3 is the most aggressive part of the cycle, with more volatility. Can XRP Hit $100 Or More? Previously, XRP’s Wave 1 pattern submitted a huge 733% increase in price. And by using the Elliot Wave extension formula, the popular analyst projects that XRP’s Wave 3 can extend by 1.618x the gain of the first wave. Using this calculation, Egrag offers a potential surge of 1,185x, translating to XRP’s price range between $22 to $24. Once XRP hits the peak of Wave 3, the fourth wave and a price correction follows. For this wage, the retracement level ranges between 14% to 38.2% of Wave 3. If this happens, Egrag predicts that XRP’s price can drop to $8. Related Reading: TRUMP Token Takedown—Did Insiders Plan The Crash? Wave 5 of the Elliot Wave follows, where price can be predicted using three methods. First, if XRP’s price grows between 1.236% and 1.618%, the asset’s price can hit between $32 and $48. Second, if Wave 5 replicates Wave 1, the price can be between $60 and $70. Third, if there’s a 61.8% extension of the movements of Waves 1 and 3, then there’s a chance that XRP’s price can hit $100.

Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped 11.3% over the past week, currently trading in the low $80,000 range at the time of writing. The recent decline has pushed the leading cryptocurrency below the 200-day moving average (MA), raising concerns about a potential deeper pullback. Bitcoin Must Defend This Key Price Level According to an X post by seasoned crypto analyst Ali Martinez, BTC is now trading below the 200-day MA, a key price level that has historically functioned as a strong support for the top digital asset. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sellers Incur Loss As SOPR Drops To 0.95 – A Sign Of Market Bottom? For the uninitiated, the 200-day MA is a famous technical indicator that essentially represents the average closing price of BTC over the last 200 days to identify the long-term price trend. Historically, a sustained movement above the 200-day MA has led to long-term uptrends while a prolonged price movement below the level has often preceded further declines. Martinez stressed that BTC must remain above the TD Sequential indicator’s risk line at $79,280. He added that a sustained move above this level could set the stage for a strong rebound to the upside. The potential for a BTC recovery was echoed by fellow crypto analyst Ted. In a post on X, he pointed out that over the past two years, BTC has frequently undergone 25% to 30% corrections before rebounding to new all-time highs (ATHs). Ted noted: In 2023, BTC went from $30K to $22K. In 2024, BTC went from $74K to $50K. This year, BTC has dumped from $109K to $79K. We all know what happened after the last 2 major corrections. If BTC follows a similar pattern and climbs 30% from its current price, it could reach approximately $104,000 in a short period. However, broader macroeconomic factors – such as US President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy – could significantly impact BTC’s trajectory. BTC Needs To Reclaim $84,000 First In another post on X, Martinez outlined BTC’s potential path to a new ATH, emphasizing that BTC must first reclaim $84,000 as a support level before any major upside movement. Once this milestone is secured, the digital asset could rally toward $128,000. Related Reading: Bitcoin Fills CME Gap Between $78,000 and $80,000 – Is A Reversal Around The Corner? Several indicators suggest that BTC may have already found a local bottom, increasing the chances of a trend reversal. Crypto analyst Rekt Capital recently noted that BTC’s plunge to $78,258 could mark the cycle low. Additionally, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has just recorded one of its largest weekly breakdowns since 2013, a move that historically signals bullish momentum for risk-on assets like BTC. At press time, BTC trades at $80,137, down 3.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, charts from X and TradingView.com
A move below the said support would trigger a major bearish reversal pattern, the price chart shows.
Ether's price now trades below a trendline that starts from the low registered after the crash of Terra in 2022.
Ethereum has struggled to gain momentum, remaining stuck below critical resistance for over a year. Despite multiple attempts, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has been unable to break through key technical levels since the beginning of this year. Related Reading: Bitcoin Slides After Trump Signs Strategic Reserve Executive Order Ethereum’s price action over the past two weeks has shown more weakness. An interesting analysis from analyst Tony “The Bull” Severino shows that the cryptocurrency recently failed to break above a resistance indicator and is now at risk of more catastrophic price drops. Ethereum Fails To Breach Long-Term Resistance Tony “The Bull” Severino, in a technical analysis shared on social media platform X, highlighted Ethereum’s persistent failure to overcome major resistance levels. He pointed out that Ethereum has been unable to tag the quarterly (three-month) Parabolic SAR despite more than a year of attempts. This indicator, often used to determine the direction of an asset’s trend, shows that Ethereum is locked in a prolonged struggle against resistance on a larger downtrend. “This feels like it sends a message — resistance won’t be broken,” the analyst said. Image From X: Tony “The Bull” Severino Adding to the failure to break resistance, Tony Severino also noted in another analysis that Ethereum has repeatedly faced rejection from the quarterly (3M) SuperTrend dynamic resistance, further solidifying the case that buyers have been unable to regain control. Image From X: Tony “The Bull” Severino A Monthly Close Below $2,100 Could Be Catastrophic Ethereum’s inability to sustain key price levels has been a dominant theme in the past six months. Interestingly, this inability was shown further in the past two weeks. After failing to hold above $2,800, the cryptocurrency has seen a steady drop, losing multiple support zones along the way. Currently, Ethereum is trading below $2,200, edging dangerously close to breaking below the crucial $2,100 threshold. A drop beneath this level is particularly concerning, not just because it signifies the loss of yet another psychological support but because technical indicators suggest that a monthly close below $2,100 could have severe consequences. One of the most significant warning signs comes from the quarterly Bollinger Bands indicator, which has tracked Ethereum’s price action since February 2022. According to this indicator, Ethereum has remained within a defined range, with the upper Bollinger Band currently positioned at $4,190 and the lower band at $2,098. The worrying part is that a monthly close below $2,100 would effectively translate to breaking beneath the lower Bollinger Band and removing a long-standing support level.

Analyst Points To $2 Target At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,178, having gained 2.2% in the past 24 hours after starting the day at $2,120. Ethereum’s sentiment is now at its lowest level this year. The next few weeks will be crucial to see if Ethereum can reclaim lost ground and prevent a monthly close below $2,100.

Tony Severino, a prominent crypto analyst, has shared a new Bitcoin price forecast, suggesting that the pioneer cryptocurrency is on the verge of another major correction. The analyst suggested that the formation of a Lower Time Frame (LTF) Head and Shoulders pattern on the Bitcoin price chart is a potential confirmation of a crash to mid-$80,000. Bitcoin Price Projected To Crash To $83,600 The market’s recent downturn has negatively impacted Bitcoin’s value, prompting less-than-favorable predictions from top analysts. Severino posted on X (formerly Twitter) on March 6 that Bitcoin could soon experience another major pullback to new lows. Related Reading: Bitcoin Slides After Trump Signs Strategic Reserve Executive Order The analyst projected that Bitcoin could crash to $84,800 – $83,600. This bearish price outlook is supported by the recent formation of LTF Head and Shoulder pattern on the Bitcoin chart. A Head and Shoulder pattern is a technical analysis formation that usually indicates a potential reversal from bullish to bearish. It appears as three peaks on a price chart, with the middle peak, which is the head, being higher than the others (the shoulders). Notably, the Head and Shoulder pattern is considered one of the most recognizable patterns for projecting a downtrend in a cryptocurrency. In the case of Bitcoin, Severino’s chart illustrates a symmetrical triangle with an internal A-B-C-D-E wave-like structure. The black diagonal lines in the chart form the symmetrical triangle, which indicates lower highs and higher lows. Inside the triangle, red lines form the waves, suggesting that the Bitcoin price may be chopping sideways but with a bias towards completing the triangle. Due to the Head and Shoulder pattern formation, Bitcoin could see its price break down to the lower boundary of the triangle around the mid $80,000 region. This price crash would complete the D wave and possibly test the next critical support area. Once Bitcoin drops to this level, Severino predicts that it could bounce back to new highs. The chart shows that Bitcoin could rally toward the E wave in the triangle, which is positioned around the $90,000 price level. Furthermore, the analyst’s Bitcoin chart indicates another deeper pullback after this price rebound to $90,000. Toward the right side of the chart, an arrow points downwards, suggesting that after the final E wave rally, Bitcoin could drop down towards $83,600 to $80,200. Analyst Warns Of Bear Trap Before Bull Run Finale While many in the crypto market label this massive decline in the Bitcoin price as the beginning of the bear market, others believe that this price crash could be a mere bear trap. A market expert known as ’Crypto Caesar’ predicted that Bitcoin would be on the verge of its final bear trap before entering the last phase of this bull cycle. Related Reading: Dogecoin Analyst Predicts Massive Price Explosion—Is $6.24 Far-Fetched? This implies that Bitcoin is likely to face another sharp decline, shaking out weak hands before surging to a new all-time high. The analyst’s chart predicts that it could top out above $110,000, signaling the end of the bull market. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is flashing multiple bullish signals that suggest a potential upside move. However, rising exchange reserves are tempering this optimism. Has Ethereum Formed A Local Bottom? Ethereum has dropped nearly 20% over the past two weeks, falling from approximately $2,805 on February 23 to just above $2,200 at the time of writing. This decline has wiped out $80 billion from ETH’s market cap. Related Reading: Ethereum Positioned For A ‘Major Move Upward’ In 2025, Analyst Forecasts Despite this sharp pullback, crypto analysts are pointing to several bullish indicators that could signal an impending price reversal. Crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader, for instance, has highlighted that ETH is following the Wyckoff Reaccumulation Pattern. For those unfamiliar, the Wyckoff Reaccumulation Pattern is a technical analysis method developed by Richard Wyckoff. In the context of ETH’s current price action, this pattern suggests that the asset may be entering an accumulation phase before a potential upward movement. The analyst further noted that the “spring phase” has just been triggered – indicating a possible bear trap where a brief dip below support levels misleads sellers, potentially setting the stage for a rally. A bounce from this level could see ETH climb to $4,000. In a separate X post, Merlijn The Trader also pointed to a bullish divergence in Ethereum’s 4-hour chart. According to the analyst, ETH’s next immediate target is $2,700 before moving higher. Fellow crypto analyst CryptoGoos echoed these sentiments. Beyond technical indicators, whale activity has added to the bullish sentiment surrounding ETH. In an X post, crypto analyst Ted noted: Ethereum whale bought 17,855 ETH worth $36,000,000 at an average price of $2,054. Total holding $2,530,000,000 Ethereum. You think this is going down? Think again. Rising Exchange Reserves May Spoil The Party On the bearish side, crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out that ETH reserves on exchanges have been steadily rising. Over the past two weeks, more than 610,000 ETH has been transferred to exchanges, which could increase selling pressure. Martinez’s analysis aligns with a recent report that found that despite ETH’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) being at a multi-year low, there could still be further downside in store for the digital currency. Related Reading: Ethereum Exchange Balances Drop To 9-Year Low – Time For A Major Price Move? Indeed, ETH has been marred by significant bearish sentiment due to its relatively weak price performance over the past two years compared to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), and XRP. However, extreme bearish sentiment could act as a contrarian signal, setting the stage for a surprise rally. At press time, ETH trades at $2,200, up 6% in the past 24 hours.
