The XRP price returned to a technical level that, historically, has defined some of its most explosive rallies. After enduring a sharp 62% correction that culminated in a drop toward $1.10 on February 6, the token is once again testing its long-term ascending support trendline. Amid this, the broader crypto market has shown signs of recovery this week, offering some relief. On Wednesday, the XRP price rebounded roughly 6%, while Bitcoin (BTC) climbed back above the critical $70,000 level, restoring a measure of optimism across risk assets despite ongoing global tensions. Historic XRP Price Support In a Wednesday report, market analyst Sam Daodu pointed out that the XRP price is sitting on the same rising trendline that has historically preceded dramatic upside moves — including a 630% rally in 2024 and an extraordinary surge of more than 60,000% in 2017. Related Reading: CFTC Chair Says Crypto Perps Approval Is Close — Why This Is Huge For Hyperliquid? What makes this retest different, Daodu noted, is that it is happening for the first time with a fully established spot XRP Exchange-traded fund (ETF) infrastructure behind it. Since their launch in November 2025, US spot XRP exchange-traded funds have attracted $1.24 billion in cumulative inflows over four consecutive positive months. Approximately 797 million XRP are now held in ETF custody. At the same time, institutional wallets accumulated an additional 170 million XRP during the most recent price dip. Ripple also re-locked 700 million XRP into escrow on March 1, maintaining its standard release cycle and limiting new supply from entering the market. March seasonality adds another layer to the setup. Over the past 12 years, XRP has delivered an average return of 18% in March, making it statistically the strongest month of the first quarter. $4 Target Emerges From a technical standpoint, the $1.27 level represents the first area of support to monitor. It aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level and has served as a bear market floor throughout the correction. Below that, the $1.10–$1.11 zone marks the precise location of the long-term ascending trendline that held in February. A decisive break beneath $1.10 would represent the first failure of this channel since 2015 and could expose the XRP price to a deeper pullback toward $0.85–$1.00.

A sustained close above $1.50 would confirm the pattern and project a move toward $1.68–$1.70. Beyond that range, on-chain data shows roughly 1.85 billion XRP accumulated between $1.76 and $1.80, a zone where holders may look to exit at breakeven, potentially creating substantial resistance. The most significant supply cluster lies between $2.40 and $2.60; a weekly close above that band would invalidate the broader descending structure and signal a more decisive trend reversal. Combining historical March strength, capitulation signals, and structural supply constraints, Daodu suggests the XRP price could potentially reach a range between $2.50 and $4.00 by late 2026.

The US government is sitting on roughly 378,372 Bitcoin worth more than $24 billion, according to data from Arkham Research. Yet more than a year after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, no new Bitcoin has been purchased. Related Reading: Iran’s Crypto Market Shaken As Outflows Skyrocket 700% The government has not gone beyond the digital assets it already held from criminal seizures. David Bailey, a former crypto advisor to the Trump administration, says that gap tells the whole story. Liking Is Not Enough: Bailey “Liking Bitcoin is not enough,” Bailey said last week at the Bitcoin Investor Week Conference in New York City. He was direct about what he sees as the difference between political goodwill and real action. His view: Trump’s support for Bitcoin has been real, but support alone does not move markets or policy. Spending Political Capital Is The Hard Part Bailey said the administration made an important first step. But first steps, he argued, do not automatically lead to second ones. Without a willingness to push through resistance — from budget hawks, from skeptical lawmakers, from a political system that does not easily bend to new financial ideas — the reserve order remains mostly symbolic. Reports say the White House’s own AI and crypto coordinator, David Sacks, acknowledged the challenge early. Just two months after the executive order was signed, Sacks said adding to the government’s Bitcoin holdings would require a “budget-neutral” approach — meaning no new taxes and no new debt. That constraint has proven difficult to work around. No framework for how to meet it has been made public. Bailey did not spare the hard language. “Unless you’re willing to bear the political capital necessary to mobilize the different gears necessary to move the ball forward,” he said, the outcome is the same whether a politician likes Bitcoin or not. He called out the difference between voicing an opinion and doing the work to back it up. Bailey Says Bitcoin Wins Either Way Despite the criticism, Bailey stopped well short of pessimism. He told the conference audience that Bitcoin does not need government action to survive or grow. The question, as he framed it, is only one of timing.

More Bitcoin owners means more voters who have a personal stake in pro-Bitcoin policy — and that, he argued, is what makes adoption inevitable over time.

Bitcoin is regaining momentum after reclaiming the $70,000 level, signaling renewed strength following weeks of consolidation and volatile price action. The move above this key psychological threshold has helped stabilize sentiment across the market, as investors assess whether the recent correction has begun to transition into a new accumulation phase. Related Reading: The Quiet Accumulation: 13,500 Bitcoin Leaving Binance Signals A Strategic Whale Pivot at $66,000 At the same time, new on-chain data is providing insight into how certain entities are positioning within the network. According to blockchain analytics platform Arkham, American Bitcoin — the mining operation associated with the Trump family — is actively mining Bitcoin and retaining the newly generated coins in its on-chain wallets rather than distributing them immediately to the market. This behavior is noteworthy because miner activity plays an important role in Bitcoin’s supply dynamics. When miners choose to hold rather than sell their rewards, the immediate circulating supply available to exchanges decreases. Over time, this can influence market liquidity and contribute to tightening supply conditions, particularly if sustained across multiple participants in the mining sector. The development also intersects with the broader conversation around the concept of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Mining operations that accumulate rather than liquidate their output effectively transform operational activity into long-term treasury positioning within the Bitcoin ecosystem. American Bitcoin Expands Mining Capacity While Building a Large BTC Treasury Arkham data further illustrates the scale of American Bitcoin’s current mining and accumulation strategy. According to the platform, the operation has mined approximately 766 BTC so far this year, representing roughly $54.39 million at current market prices. Rather than immediately distributing these rewards to cover operational costs, the mined coins appear to be held in on-chain wallets, reinforcing the company’s accumulation-oriented approach. In total, American Bitcoin’s holdings now stand at around 6,100 BTC, with a combined value exceeding $433.7 million. For a mining operation, maintaining reserves of this magnitude signals a strategic treasury position rather than a purely transactional mining model. Historically, miners often sell a portion of their rewards to finance infrastructure, electricity, and operational expenses. Holding a large share of mined Bitcoin instead reflects confidence in the asset’s long-term value proposition. The company is also expanding its operational capacity. Arkham reports that American Bitcoin recently acquired an additional 11,000 Bitcoin mining machines to scale its future hash power. Increasing hardware capacity allows the operation to compete more effectively for block rewards and transaction fees as the network’s mining difficulty continues to evolve. Combined, these developments highlight how some mining entities are increasingly integrating production with long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategies.

Price is currently trading around $70,000, following a sharp rejection from the $110,000–$115,000 region, which marked the local top of the recent bullish expansion phase. From a structural perspective, the correction has pushed Bitcoin back toward the confluence of major moving averages that historically act as dynamic support during bull markets. The price is now hovering near the 50-week moving average, while the 100-week moving average sits slightly below current levels. These zones often function as equilibrium areas where long-term participants reassess positioning. Related Reading: The $650M Wave: Why XRP’s Record Inflow To Binance Signals A Massive Institutional Retreat Importantly, the 200-week moving average remains far below the current market price, continuing to slope upward. This suggests that, despite the recent drawdown, the broader macro trend still maintains a constructive long-term structure. Volume patterns on the chart indicate that selling pressure intensified during the initial breakdown from the highs but has gradually decreased as price approached the $65,000–$70,000 region. This decline in aggressive selling activity may indicate that the bulk of forced liquidations has already occurred. If Bitcoin can consolidate above this zone, it could establish a base for renewed accumulation. However, a sustained breakdown below the $65,000 area would expose the market to deeper retracement toward the $60,000 region. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com
