The XRP price traded at around $1.30 on Monday as markets consolidated and Bitcoin (BTC) fought to hold above $67,000, but the calm belies meaningful downside risk if BTC revisits its key support at $60,000, according to market analyst Sam Daodu. Key Levels For XRP Price In his latest report, Daodu warns that XRP’s price action tends to amplify Bitcoin moves. He noted that this year the XRP price has behaved with roughly a 1.8-to-1 correlation to BTC’s declines. That means XRP is vulnerable to a steep retracement if BTC loses ground. Related Reading: XRP Nears Key Turning Point As Descending Wedge Tightens On XRP’s outlook, Daodu points to a sequence of support levels that could determine how far losses extend. The immediate floor is at about $1.28, where 443 million XRP have been accumulated by holders who have stepped in on dips. If that level breaks, buying interest thins, and the next material support is around $1.11 — the low seen in February. Beneath $1.11, Daodu identifies $1.00 as the next notable cushion for the XRP price, with a deeper support cluster near $0.82, which would mean a near 40% decline for the altcoin on top of current losses. The analyst asserts that once $1.28 gives way, a rapid slide to $1.11 could follow, and if that fails, a drop toward $1.00 or lower would be possible because there are few bids between those levels. What Could Push BTC Back To $60,000 Daodu’s scenario hinges on Bitcoin revisiting $60,000, a test he regards as the most important support for BTC so far this cycle. He cites macro drivers that could pressure Bitcoin, notably the conflict in Iran and elevated oil prices. “As long as oil stays above $100 and the war keeps escalating, Bitcoin stays under pressure,” he said, framing those geopolitical and commodity dynamics as key determinants of Bitcoin’s near-term path. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Will Do A ‘Big Print’ If This Happens; Pundit Explains There are, however, events that could help decouple the XRP price from Bitcoin’s movements. Daodu highlights two potential catalysts: the passage of the long-anticipated CLARITY Act and renewed inflows into spot crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Passage of the CLARITY Act would, in his view, create a legal framework enabling institutions to use XRP for settlement at scale. Likewise, sustained ETF inflows would produce consistent buying pressure that could support XRP’s price. At the time of writing, the XRP price was at $1.32, having recorded a 8% weekly loss, according to CoinGecko data. Featured image from OpenArt, chart from TradingView.com

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.
