On-chain data shows the number of active addresses on the Dogecoin network has shot up recently. Here’s what this could mean for the memecoin. Dogecoin Active Addresses Have Risen To 73,000 As highlighted by analyst Ali Martinez in a new post on X, Dogecoin has seen a surge in Active Addresses recently. This on-chain indicator keeps track of the total amount of addresses that are coming online on the blockchain every day. An address is said to be online when it participates in some kind of transaction activity, whether as a sender or receiver. Thus, the Active Addresses metric measures the daily number of DOGE wallets taking part in transfers. When the value of this indicator rises, it means more investors are using the network every day. Such a trend suggests users are being attracted to the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Recent Bitcoin Rally Saw Retail Shift To Selling, Glassnode Reveals On the other hand, the indicator going down can imply traders are losing interest in the blockchain as fewer of them are participating in network transaction activity. Now, here is the chart shared by Martinez that shows the trend in the Dogecoin Active Addresses over the last few days: As displayed in the above graph, the Active Addresses indicator has witnessed a surge for Dogecoin over the past week. More specifically, the metric has gone from 57,000 to 73,000 inside this window, representing a notable increase of 28%. Related Reading: Dogecoin Still Trapped In Triangle—29% Move Brewing? Generally, higher user participation can make the cryptocurrency’s price more volatile, as more users potentially mean fuel for larger price moves. As such, considering the uptick in interest that DOGE has witnessed recently, it’s possible that its price could show sharp action in the near future. Though, for now, the memecoin is continuing to show consolidation. DOGE Has Been Stuck In Sideways Movement Dogecoin has displayed stale price action since the crash at the start of February, with all deviations eventually collapsing back into the same consolidation range. As the below chart shows, the memecoin is currently trading around $0.0926, which is about where the memecoin has returned time and again during the phase of sideways movement. The consolidation isn’t something unique to Dogecoin; the digital asset sector as a whole has struggled to find a direction in the same period. Bitcoin, for example, is still trading below the $70,000 level. The market has made some attempts at recovery already, but each one has fizzled out. A reason behind this prolonged consolidation is the uncertainty due to the war situation in Iran. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView.com

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

Ethereum is holding around $2,000. The level looks like support. The data beneath it suggests the market is not yet being compensated for the risk of being here. A CryptoQuant report tracking risk-adjusted performance on Binance has identified a reading that holders should not dismiss: Ethereum’s Sharpe-like ratio currently stands at approximately -0.0012, while the 30-day average return has turned negative at -0.00039. Both figures are small. Neither is insignificant. Together they describe a market in which the risk of holding ETH is currently exceeding the return it is generating — the precise condition that precedes either a capitulation or a reset. The message the data is sending is specific. At $2,000, Ethereum is not in freefall. It is in a phase where price stability is masking a deterioration in the quality of the risk-reward equation beneath the surface. The asset is not rewarding its holders. It is testing their patience. Related Reading: Binance Inflows Suggest Money Is Starting to Move Back Into Crypto – Find Out What Changed That distinction matters more than the price level itself. A market that stabilizes while its risk-adjusted returns remain negative is not recovering. It is consolidating the conditions for its next move — and the data does not yet indicate which direction that move will be. Stability at $2,000 Is Not the Same as Strength at $2,000 The report draws a distinction that the price chart alone cannot make. Ethereum holding around $2,000 looks like resilience from the outside. The risk-adjusted data describes something more complicated: a market in which price has stabilized but returns have not recovered, leaving holders exposed to risk that their positions are not compensating them for. The Sharpe-like ratio is the instrument that makes that gap visible. Above zero, it signals that returns are outpacing risk — the condition that defines a healthy, rewarding market environment. Below zero, as it is now at -0.0012, it signals the opposite: risk is running ahead of return, and the market is effectively charging its participants for the privilege of staying in it. Combined with a 30-day average return of -0.00039, the picture is consistent. Ethereum is not punishing holders with sharp losses. It is quietly eroding the case for being here. Related Reading: XRP Holders Are Pulling Coins Off Exchanges – History Points To A Strong Move The report identifies what this phase typically represents. Reduced speculative activity, weaker liquidity flows, and sideways price action within a stable range are the hallmarks of a transitional period — the market moving laterally before committing to a direction. That direction is what the data cannot yet provide. What it can confirm is that the transition is not over, and that a $2,000 holding is a necessary condition for recovery, not evidence that recovery has begun. Ethereum Struggles Below Key Averages as Range Tightens Ethereum is trading near the $2,000 level, stabilizing after a sharp breakdown that defined February’s price action. The chart shows a clear loss of structure from the $3,000 region, followed by a violent selloff and a transition into a tight consolidation range between roughly $1,850 and $2,200. From a trend perspective, ETH remains weak. Price is still trading below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, both trending downward, signaling persistent bearish momentum. The 200-day moving average, positioned near the $3,000 region, continues to act as a distant macro resistance, reinforcing the broader downtrend. Related Reading: An XRP Key Indicator Just Flipped Bullish — and Most Traders Are Not Watching It Recent attempts to reclaim higher levels have failed. The bounce toward the $2,300 area was rejected, confirming that sellers are still active on rallies. At the same time, the repeated defense of the $1,850–$1,900 zone suggests that buyers are absorbing supply at lower levels, preventing further breakdown. Volume provides additional context. The largest spike occurred during the selloff, indicating capitulation or forced liquidations. Since then, activity has normalized, pointing to a market in rebalancing mode rather than expansion. Structurally, Ethereum is compressing. A break above $2,200 is needed to shift momentum, while losing $1,850 would likely trigger another leg down.
