The Bitcoin price could be on the verge of a major surge as new discussions from market watchers warn that the next big print from policymakers is inevitable. They point to key catalysts, including geopolitical tensions, banking stress, and more, that could trigger this move. Once it unfolds, Bitcoin is projected to explode in value, driven by adoption from both institutions and retail investors. Why Experts Say A Big Print Is Coming On March 29, LG Doucet, host at the crypto media company Milk Road, interviewed John Haar, managing director at Swan Private, on YouTube. During the discussion, Doucet asked Haar about the current market conditions that trigger another large-scale printing event. Related Reading: Crypto Trader Predicts Bitcoin Price Will Hit $100,000 Again When This Happens Haar noted that there have been two major prints in most people’s adult lives, the most recent occurring during the COVID-19 pandemic. He explained that at the time, many people began adopting Bitcoin as a monetary and fiscal response to the global crisis, likely seeing the leading cryptocurrency as a hedge against inflation. In the interview, Haar stated that “it’s only a matter of time before the next big print.” While he did not provide a specific date for when this could happen, the Swan Private managing director expressed confidence that a large-scale printing event is inevitable. Haar outlined nine catalysts that could trigger a potential big print. First, he pointed to a large-scale geopolitical war or military mobilization as a major factor. He emphasized, however, that the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran does not yet qualify as a big-print catalyst, unless the war escalates significantly. Another key catalyst, according to Haar, is AI-driven labor displacements, which he believes could lead to the passage of a substantial new spending bill. He also highlighted the risk of state budget collapses or the need for federal or private credit bailout. Additionally, Haar warned of potential pension system insolvencies and regional banking sector crises, similar to those seen in 2023 following the collapse of major banks such as Silicon Valley Bank. Looking ahead, Haar also highlighted other big print catalysts such as a structural expansion of entitlements, including Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and student loan forgiveness. Finally, he noted that a major climate event or natural disaster could trigger a big print. Haar emphasized that any of these scenarios, or a combination of them, could occur within the next 3 to 24 months. How This Affects The Bitcoin Price During the interview, Doucet asked how large-scale adoption could affect cryptocurrencies, specifically Bitcoin. Haar noted that during such events, adoption of Bitcoin rises as investors tend to allocate more to the cryptocurrency than to other asset classes. He noted that asset classes like real estate are slow to sell and are not easily traded, while private equity is harder to access.

For his long-term projection, Haar forecasts that Bitcoin could hit $1 million per coin between 2030 and 2035 regardless of a big print. He also noted that, over the next few years, institutional adoption of Bitcoin will be gradual but steady, likely driving its valuation upward. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com

Solana recent pullback may look like weakness on the surface, but it could be laying the groundwork for something much bigger. Following an extended bullish run, the ongoing correction is resetting momentum, taking out weak hands, and driving the price toward key demand zones. If history is any guide, such deep retracements often precede powerful expansions, positioning SOL for a potential breakout that could surpass previous highs. Correction Phase Sets The Tone For Solana’s Next Move Solana is getting a much-needed reality check, as highlighted by Crypto Patel, who emphasized that the journey to $1,000 will be far from smooth. Despite the excitement surrounding a potential move to $1,000, current price action suggests the market is cooling off after a strong rally. Corrections often create opportunities, especially for patient investors willing to wait for better entries rather than chasing prices at elevated levels. Related Reading: What The Solana Open Interest Is Saying About The Cryptocurrency Right Now From a structural standpoint, signs of distribution have emerged following the recent uptrend. Key support lies between $70 and $50, with notable liquidity resting below the $60 level, an area that could be targeted for a sweep. A breakdown below $70 may accelerate downside momentum, driving the price toward the $50 zone. Market behavior continues to highlight the contrast between retail and institutional participants. Retail traders often become emotionally attached to ambitious price targets, while smart money waits for discounted entries. These deeper corrections tend to shake out weaker hands, setting the stage for a stronger and more sustainable expansion later on. Looking ahead, the short-term bias remains bearish below $70, with expectations of a possible move beneath $50. The $70–$50 range stands out as a key accumulation zone, while long-term projections still point toward $500 and eventually $1,000. The question now is whether investors are stepping in during the dip or holding out for even lower prices. SOL’s Impulsive Structure Signals Strong Macro Trend According to crypto analyst Osemka, Solana stands out as one of the clearest impulsive structures in the market, completing a textbook 1–5 wave move from December 2022 to January 2025. Such a strong impulsive phase often lays the foundation for a healthy correction before the next major trend unfolds. Related Reading: Solana Flashing Mixed Signals: $105 Breakout Or Double-Pair Collapse Ahead? Currently, SOL appears to be undergoing an ABC correction within a defined channel. Wave C is currently testing a high-timeframe support zone, while the RSI hints at a potential diagonal retest. Holding this level could be critical, as it may set the stage for a higher-timeframe reversal, with April emerging as a key period to watch. A confirmed reversal in Solana would not only signal strength for the asset itself but could also act as a leading indicator for the broader altcoin market.

XRP is approaching what market commentator Will Taylor describes as a critical technical inflection point, with a tightening descending wedge, oversold weekly momentum and a lopsided liquidation profile all pointing to a market that may be close to exhausting the downside. That is the core XRP takeaway in The Weekly Insight – Week 188, where Taylor argued that while crypto may still face one final flush lower, XRP is already trading in a zone that has historically aligned with major lows. XRP May Be Close To A Bottom Taylor framed the XRP setup against a broader macro backdrop that remains fragile but, in his view, not broken. In the same note, he argued the S&P 500 may still need to complete a deeper correction, volatility could rise further, and crypto altcoins may have “one more small dip” left before a more durable bottom forms. Even so, he suggested the market is already close enough to prior cyclical lows that downside from here may be limited relative to the potential upside. Related Reading: 3 Reasons XRP Rallies Stall — What Must Change For A Sustained Recovery For XRP specifically, the focus was on structure. Taylor said he has been tracking “a potential descending wedge or parallel channel” on the weekly chart, with the key question now being whether XRP still needs “one more pullback into the bottom of that channel” into the $1.10 region or whether it can begin breaking higher from current levels and reclaim support on the way up. He tied that pattern to momentum signals that, in his reading, are starting to look familiar. “This is on the weekly timeframe, and the weekly RSI has been touching the oversold area, just as it did at the absolute lows in 2022 during the bear market,” Taylor wrote. “So there are a few indicators here that are suggesting we are very close to the lows, if not already there.” That matters because Taylor is not presenting XRP as an isolated chart. In the newsletter, he argued the broader crypto market is already trading near levels that, on weekly RSI measures, have historically marked either outright bottoms or zones within roughly 10% to 15% of them. In that context, XRP’s wedge is being read less as a standalone pattern and more as part of a market-wide compression phase that could be nearing resolution. Related Reading: XRP Needs Higher Prices To Handle Bank-Scale Flows, Jake Claver Argues The more distinctive part of the XRP thesis came from liquidation data. Taylor wrote that if XRP were pushed higher toward $3.60, more than $320 million in short positions would be liquidated. By contrast, a move down toward $0.39 would liquidate roughly $130 million in longs. That imbalance, in his view, creates a cleaner incentive to run price upward rather than lower. “And if we pair this up with the amount of liquidity that we can see for XRP, cumulatively, if price is pushed up towards $3.60, we would liquidate over $320 million worth of shorts,” he wrote. “But if price is pushed down towards $0.39, it would only liquidate around $130 million worth of longs. So from a liquidity perspective, the opportunity for market makers and exchanges is clearly to the upside.” That argument leans on the idea that once the current period of macro stress passes, XRP’s positioning could amplify any recovery. Taylor added that open interest is “reinforcing that view,” suggesting leveraged participation has not yet undermined the bullish setup. The caveat is timing. Elsewhere in the newsletter, Taylor said he still expects one more modest dip across crypto before the market fully turns, and he linked the broader bottoming process to macro developments that could play out over the next four to six weeks. For XRP, that leaves two plausible paths: a final sweep toward the lower boundary of the wedge, or an earlier breakout that confirms the pattern without a deeper retest. At press time, XRP traded at $1.35. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
