A cryptocurrency analyst has pointed out how a Dogecoin price level holds the cost basis of a notable amount of the memecoin, potentially making it a major support line. Dogecoin Traders Last Moved 28 Billion Tokens At $0.074 In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about the latest UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) of Dogecoin. This indicator tells us about the amount of the asset that was last purchased at the various levels visited by it in its history. Related Reading: Ethereum Rebounds 6%, But Coinbase Demand Remains Weak Below is the chart for the metric shared by Martinez. As displayed in the graph, Dogecoin is currently trading around levels where little supply last changed hands. The nearest major cost basis center lies at $0.074, where 28 billion tokens of the cryptocurrency last became involved in transactions. In recent months, the memecoin has been in a downtrend and if the bearish momentum continues, it’s possible that it could end up retesting this huge supply zone. Currently, these investors are in a state of net unrealized profit, but when the retest will occur, they will drop back to their break even. It’s hard to say for sure how these holders would react to their cost basis being threatened, but often, traders try to protect their break-even level by participating in more accumulation. Though, this is usually the case when the market mood is positive. Given the sheer scale of the $0.074 supply barrier, however, any buying reaction could be of a significant degree. This is why the analyst has called it “one of the most important support zones” for Dogecoin. In some other news, DOGE has recently appeared to be following a Descending Triangle pattern, as Martinez has highlighted in another X post. The “Descending Triangle” forms whenever an asset observes consolidation between two converging trendlines, with a chief feature being that the lower of these lines is parallel to the time-axis. As is visible in the below chart, Dogecoin has been moving down this pattern on the 4-hour timeframe. Earlier this month, the coin retested the resistance level of the channel, but it ended up finding rejection. Currently, DOGE is trading about midway between the upper and lower levels, so it’s uncertain which level it might end up visiting next. Related Reading: Bitcoin HODLers Quietly Add 332,000 BTC Amid Market Chaos In the scenario that an escape from the triangle occurs during the next retest, it’s possible that Dogecoin could see a sustained move in the direction of the breakout. Based on the height of the Descending Triangle, Martinez has noted that a 29% move could be on the horizon for the asset. DOGE Price At the time of writing, Dogecoin is floating around $0.095, down over 7% in the last seven days. Featured image from Kanchanara at Unsplash.com, chart from TradingView.com

Solana found support at $85 and corrected some losses. SOL price is now consolidating above $90 and might aim for a steady increase. SOL price started a decent recovery wave above $88 and $90 against the US Dollar. The price is now trading above $90 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $88 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The price could continue to move up if it clears $92.80 and $95. Solana Price Eyes Recovery Solana price remained stable and started a decent recovery wave from $85, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. SOL was able to climb above the $90 level. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $97.67 swing high to the $85.10 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $88 on the hourly chart of the SOL/USD pair. However, the bears are active near $92.00. Solana is now trading above $90 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $92.20 level. The next major resistance is near the $92.80 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $97.67 swing high to the $85.10 low. The main resistance could be $95. A successful close above the $95 resistance zone could set the pace for another steady increase. The next key resistance is $102. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112 level. Another Decline In SOL? If SOL fails to rise above the $92.80 resistance, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $88.40 zone. The first major support is near the $85 level. A break below the $85 level might send the price toward the $82 support zone. If there is a close below the $82 support, the price could decline toward the $75 zone in the near term. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for SOL/USD is gaining pace in the bullish zone. Hourly Hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for SOL/USD is above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $92.80 and $95.00. Major Resistance Levels – $88.40 and $85.00.

Two historically contrarian indicators are flashing simultaneously for ADA, with average holders deeply underwater and derivatives traders piling into the most aggressive short positioning in nearly three years.
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.

There is a bullish trend line forming with support at $1.40 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could continue to move up if it settles above $1.4250. XRP Price Holds Support XRP price started a decent upward move above $1.4120 and $1.4250, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price gained pace for a clear move above the $1.450 resistance. A high was formed at $1.4650 and the price started a downside correction. There was a move below $1.450 and $1.440. The price dipped below the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.3612 swing low to the $1.4650 high. However, the bulls were active above $1.3850 and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $1.3612 swing low to the $1.4650 high. The price is now trading above $1.40 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is a fresh upward move, the price might face resistance near the $1.4250 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.440 level, above which the price could rise and test $1.4650. A clear move above the $1.4650 resistance might send the price toward the $1.50 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $1.5250 resistance. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near $1.550. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $1.4250 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $1.40 level. The next major support is near the $1.3850 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.3850 level, the price might continue to decline toward $1.3780. The next major support sits near the $1.3620 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.350. Any more losses might call for a test of $1.3320.

Shares in Robinhood fell to their lowest level this year on Tuesday as crypto and tech stocks are battered by geopolitical headwinds.
In his 2026 annual shareholder letter, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink laid out an ambitious outlook for the firm’s presence in digital assets, forecasting that BlackRock’s crypto business — and the broader market — could be generating roughly $500 million in annual revenue within the next five years. Tokenization Will ‘Update The Plumbing’ Of Finance As reported by Forbes, BlackRock has positioned itself as a market leader in Bitcoin (BTC), handling about 800,000 BTC worth approximately $55 billion for its clients through its iShares Bitcoin Trust exchange-traded fund (ETF). Beyond Bitcoin exposure, BlackRock has expanded into tokenized funds: its USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, known as BUIDL, became the world’s largest tokenized fund last year after surpassing $2 billion in assets under management (AuM). Related Reading: Circle (CRCL) Crashes Below $100 After Senate Revises Crypto Bill To Ban Stablecoin Rewards Fink singled out tokenized products and stablecoin operations as major pillars of the firm’s strategy, disclosing that BlackRock manages $65 billion of stablecoin reserves and nearly $80 billion of digital-asset exchange-traded products (ETPs). Those figures, the executive said, reflect how BlackRock has moved quickly to establish institutional-quality offerings in the digital markets. Additionally, the CEO argued that tokenization has the potential to “update the plumbing of the financial system,” broadening access to investments in the same way the internet expanded commerce in the 1990s. BlackRock CEO Warns US Risks Losing Crypto Lead Citing research from Juniper, Fink noted that about half the world’s population already carries a digital wallet on their phone, and suggested that those same wallets could one day be used to invest in diversified portfolios as easily as sending a payment. Fink painted tokenization as a generational opportunity and warned of strategic risk if the US falls behind. Last year, he urged faster adoption of digitization and tokenization, arguing that other nations could overtake the US if it lags. Related Reading: Bitcoin Expert Predicts ‘Golden Entry Window’ For Next Bull Market In October 2026 At the same time, the BlackRock CEO pushed back on skeptics like Warren Buffett who dub Bitcoin “worthless,” characterizing the asset instead as one that people hold for reasons tied to insecurity. “You own bitcoin because you’re frightened of your physical security. You own it because you’re frightened of your financial security,” he wrote in its shareholders letter, adding that a longer-term rationale for holding Bitcoin is protection against the debasement of financial assets driven by fiscal deficits. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $69,420, down 2% over the last 24 hours and down 7% over the last seven days, amid a broader market sell-off on Tuesday. This follows last week’s rejection at the $76,000 resistance level, which the cryptocurrency failed to surpass. Featured image from the Wall Street Journal, chart from TradingView.com

Ethereum price started a recovery wave above the $2,065 zone. ETH is now consolidating above $2,120 and might aim for more gains if it clears the $2,200 resistance. Ethereum started a recovery wave above the $2,125 zone. The price is trading above $2,140 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,145 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). The pair could start a fresh decline if it stays below the $2,200 resistance. Ethereum Price Eyes Steady Gains Ethereum price managed to stay above $2,020 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin. ETH price was able to climb above the $2,065 and $2,120 resistance levels. The price cleared the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,385 swing high to the $2,025 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $2,145 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now trading above $2,120 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls remain in action above $2,100, the price could attempt another increase. Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,180 level. The first key resistance is near the $2,200 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,385 swing high to the $2,025 low. The next major resistance is near the $2,250 level. A clear move above the $2,250 resistance might send the price toward the $2,300 resistance. An upside break above the $2,300 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,345 resistance zone or even $2,365 in the near term. Another Decline In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,180 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,140 level. The first major support sits near the $2,110 zone. A clear move below the $2,110 support might push the price toward the $2,065 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,010 region.

XRP is showing strong signs of a larger breakout on the horizon, but the path higher may not be smooth. Current price action suggests a potential shakeout, clearing out weak hands before momentum builds. With key levels being tested and structure tightening, the next move could set the stage for a much bigger rally. Trendline Breakdown Flips Key Support Into Resistance In a quick XRP update, CasiTrades noted that the price is now breaking below the consolidation trendline that had been holding for weeks, with that level beginning to flip into resistance. That shift aligns with what was discussed in Friday’s livestream. From a structural standpoint, it strengthens the case that XRP may be entering its final leg down toward the $0.87 support zone. Related Reading: XRP Nears Breakout: Analyst Maps Path Back To All-Time High On the lower timeframe, particularly the 15-minute chart, the current upward move is being tracked as a subwave 2 bounce. A well-defined RSI trendline is guiding this short-term recovery, and as long as it holds, the bounce can continue to play out. However, a break below that RSI structure would likely mark the start of wave 3. In the near term, key levels remain in focus. The $1.40–$1.41 region is being watched as a potential B wave area, followed by a possible extension toward $1.51–$1.55 for the C wave completion. These zones could act as temporary resistance points before the next decisive move unfolds. Despite the short-term fluctuations, the broader outlook remains unchanged. The primary expectation is still a move toward $0.87 unless XRP can reclaim and hold above the $1.65 resistance level. Staying disciplined and sticking to this plan helps remove emotion and keeps the focus on structure rather than noise. History Repeats: XRP Mirrors Past Cycle Structure According to an XRP update by Archie, the current cycle is unfolding in a manner that bears a striking resemblance to past price action. After forming a bottom and establishing a higher low, the market structure shifted, leading to the start of a new uptrend. Both cycles follow the same pattern: an initial push, a retest, and then another strong move higher. Related Reading: Breaking Down The $100 XRP Prophecy: Is There A Timeline? If history repeats, the key trendline could be taken out as early as this weekend. Adding to the bullish case, a divergence on the daily chart is reinforcing the idea that strength is returning beneath the surface. Expectations this time appear even more ambitious. Rather than stalling at previous all-time highs, sentiment points toward a much larger move, with targets extending into double-digit territory. Confidence is growing, and the narrative is clear; the market believes XRP’s next phase could be far more explosive. Featured image from Freepik, chart from Tradingview.com

Brent crude slid nearly 12% on Monday to trade around $94, but market expert Sam Daodu warns that oil prices will need to fall further — toward the $85–$80 range — before potential rallies in Bitcoin (BTC) and XRP prices can be sustainable. According to Daodu, energy prices remain the key link between the ongoing Middle East conflict and crypto market direction, and until they ease, inflation fears and interest-rate concerns will continue to cap risk assets. Bitcoin, XRP Retrace Amid Oil‑Fueled Rate Risks Bitcoin currently sits just above the psychologically important $70,000 level, while XRP is consolidating near $1.44. Both tokens have retraced modestly from last week’s highs, with Bitcoin down roughly 4% and XRP off about 5% on the weekly chart after encountering resistance higher up. Those pullbacks, Daodu says, are tied to the same macro forces that have pushed oil above $100 on repeated escalation headlines since the Strait of Hormuz closures began in late February. Daodu emphasizes that high oil prices sustain inflationary pressure and, crucially, keep the Federal Reserve (Fed) from easing policy. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts When Bitcoin Price Will Hit $145,000 The Fed’s message on March 19 has pushed out expectations for easier monetary policy. When rate-cut prospects fade, capital rotates away from risk-on assets, and crypto, which still behaves like a high-risk asset, tends to suffer. The expert also highlighted structural reasons crypto markets have appeared particularly sensitive to geopolitical shocks. Because digital-asset markets are open around the clock, they absorb the initial wave of risk sentiment instantly, often before traditional markets open. That 24/7 liquidity profile can lead to sharper moves in Bitcoin and XRP price following weekend or overnight headlines, as selling is concentrated into thinner markets, as Daodu noted in his report. Brent Near $80–$85 Could Unlock Lasting Gains Despite these headwinds, Daodu notes there are constructive technical patterns beneath the surface. Bitcoin has formed higher lows on successive sell-offs since late February, suggesting buyers step in during each dip. XRP, on the other hand, has maintained a roughly $1.35–$1.45 holding zone through recent escalations, reflecting resilience even as rallies fail to hold. Crucially, Daodu argues that oil is the variable most likely to break the current pattern of short-lived crypto rallies. He noted that if Brent retreats toward $80–$85 on signs of a ceasefire or diplomatic progress, inflation pressures should ease and the Fed could regain room to consider rate cuts. Renewed expectations for easier policy would likely return risk capital to crypto markets and give Bitcoin and XRP the momentum they need to sustain gains. Conversely, if energy prices remain north of $100, every positive catalyst will be counterbalanced by the same inflation-and-rates dynamic that has dominated price action since February. Related Reading: Bitcoin Miner Selling Pressure Drops To Near Three-Year Low Daodu also reminded that several bullish fundamentals that existed before the conflict have not disappeared: the SEC’s movement toward treating Bitcoin as a commodity, inflows into XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and forward progress on the CLARITY Act. Those catalysts are still in place but, in his view, are on hold until broader macro conditions — led by a decline in oil — allow risk assets to reassert themselves.
