#Bitcoin continues to move within a bearish technical structure, yet persistent accumulation by Michael Saylor’s Strategy is beginning to challenge that outlook.
Notably, Bitcoin (BTC) remains within a bear flag formation, a setup that typically signals further downside. Under normal conditions, this pattern could indicate a move below the crucial $60,000 support region to new lows.
However, recent market behavior suggests that strong demand from Strategy, the largest Bitcoin treasury firm, may be offsetting this pressure.
Key Points
Bitcoin (BTC) remains within a bear flag formation.Recent market behavior suggests that strong demand from Strategy may be offsetting the pressure.Strategy has added 46,233 BTC to its holdings since March 2, nearly three times the 16,200 BTC miners have produced over the same period.Despite the ongoing bearish setup, a break above the upper boundary of the bear flag around $75,000 would invalidate the bearish continuation pattern.If this occurs, attention could shift toward a projected move between $108,000 and $110,000.
Persistent Strategy Bitcoin Buying Counters Bear Flag
For context, Saylor’s Strategy has added 46,233 BTC to its holdings since March 2. Over the same period, miners produced approximately 16,200 BTC, meaning the firm has absorbed nearly three times the new supply entering circulation. This imbalance has played a key role in stabilizing price action and could tend towards a BTC supply shock if such buying pressure persists. 

Notably, many of the purchases have come in through STRC, Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock with an 11.5% annual return, which it has repeatedly used to raise capital for Bitcoin purchases.
Strategy recently secured $102.6 million through STRC sales last week, contributing to its acquisition of 4,871 BTC worth $330 million. This activity possibly contributed to Bitcoin’s 4.6% growth last week and its strong opening to this week.
Earlier in March, between March 9 and 13, STRC-related funding reached $776 million. This capital supported the purchase of more than 11,000 BTC, contributing to the premier asset’s 12% rally during the same period, despite the S&P 500 dropping 1.6%. BTC ended that week with a 10.3% increase, its highest weekly gain since May 2025.
At the same time, a decline in STRC issuance has coincided with notable pullbacks. In mid-March, when the stock dipped below its $100 reference level, issuance declined, and Bitcon dropped nearly 7%. A similar event in January aligned with the 25% corrections in three weeks from $97,900 to $60,130.
Bitcoin Targets Higher Prices if Breakout Occurs
Despite the ongoing bearish setup for Bitcoin, a move above key resistance could change the outlook. A break above the upper boundary of the bear flag around $75,000 would invalidate the bearish continuation pattern.

If this occurs, attention could shift toward a projected move between $108,000 and $110,000, where the next major resistance level lies. Notably, this scenario mirrors past behavior, including a similar pattern failure observed around Bitcoin’s 2018 bottom.
The asset broke upward from a typically bearish rising wedge in April 2019 after falling into and consolidating within this pattern from November 2018. It bottomed within this pattern with support from the 200-week simple moving average. What followed was a 2,109% price expansion from the lows around $3,124 to the 2021 peak of $69,000.
In the current cycle, the same 200-week MA limited further downside attempts in February, suggesting that a base may be forming. Historically, this level has acted as a bottom during major corrections and could provide the required momentum for the 59% and 62% rallies to reach between $108,000 and $110,000.

#XRP is witnessing a fresh surge in market activity, with trading volumes rising even as price movement remains relatively weak.
The latest data has sparked discussion within the community about whether volume is an early signal of price direction or simply background noise.
Key Points
XRP trading volume surged to $3.8B in 24 hours, driven by strong activity across both spot and futures markets.Open interest climbed to $2.48B, signaling traders are holding positions and showing sustained market engagement.Traders question if rising volume signals price direction or is just noise during consolidation.XRP wallets surpassed 8.1M, highlighting continued network growth even as price remains over 60% below peak.
Volume Surges Across Futures and Spot Markets
According to data from CoinGlass, XRP recorded $3.26 billion in futures volume and $605 million in spot volume over the past 24 hours. This brings total trading activity to $3.86 billion. The figures indicate heightened participation in both derivatives and spot markets.
Alongside this, XRP’s market cap stands at $82.92 billion, with the asset trading at $1.35, reflecting a 3.89% daily gain.
Open interest currently stands at $2.48 billion, indicating that traders are actively maintaining positions, a sign of sustained market engagement.
Among exchanges, Binance leads futures activity with $140.33 million in open interest, followed by Upbit at $111 million and Coinbase at $85 million. This distribution highlights strong participation across both global and U.S. platforms.

XRP Community Debates Volume vs. Price
The spike in activity has triggered debate among traders about the importance of volume in predicting price movements. One market participant argued that volume is largely irrelevant, emphasizing that price action alone determines market direction.
However, community figure X Finance Bull countered this view, arguing that volume often signals intent before price confirms a move. This perspective suggests that rising activity during price consolidation may indicate accumulation or positioning rather than random trading.

Network Growth Still Outpaces Price
This discussion comes amid a trend in which XRP’s fundamentals continue to strengthen despite muted price performance.
Recent on-chain data shows that total XRP Ledger wallets have surpassed 8.1 million. This increase has persisted even as XRP remains significantly below its $3.65 peak from July 2025, currently trading more than 60% lower.
This divergence highlights a gap between adoption and market valuation, suggesting that user participation continues to expand regardless of short-term price weakness.
A further breakdown of wallet distribution shows that the XRP network is still largely driven by retail participants. Millions of wallets hold relatively small balances, while only a small fraction of addresses control large amounts of XRP.
What’s Next?
With trading volume rising, wallet growth accelerating, and price still lagging behind previous highs, investors are closely watching XRP’s price movement.
Some traders see the surge in volume as a sign of early accumulation that could precede a breakout. However, the overall market remains largely cautious amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which continue to weigh on investor sentiment.
Bitcoin briefly reclaimed the $70,000 level today, surging 4% on news of a potential de-escalation in the Middle East conflict. Whether the uptrend will continue and benefit other major altcoins like XRP remains to be seen.

#XRP is not looking good at the moment after falling below a key support area, and analysis suggests further downsides could follow.
XRP tested sub-$1.31 on Thursday as a fresh update on the macroeconomic front put downward pressure on the price. The altcoin fell to an intraday low of $1.281, briefly breaking down from a key support area.
Key Points
XRP tested $1.31 on Thursday, briefly breaking down from a key support area.With support looking shaky, data points to a potential sharp price correction, targeting the $1.05-$1.09 range first.From here, a brief relief rally in the form of a wave 4 uptrend could ensue, pushing XRP toward $1.271.XRP could then record a final leg down to the $0.87 macro support.Despite the persisting downtrend, the long-term price target for XRP remains bullish.
XRP Breakdown Playing Out
Market analyst CasiTrades shared an update on the XRP price action after the recent bearish trend briefly pushed it below the 0.618 Fibonacci support at $1.310. Notably, the coin has reclaimed this level, changing hands at $1.315 at the time of writing, but momentum remains weak.
With the support looking shaky, CasiTrades expects a sharp price correction. An accompanying chart further highlighted an RSI triangle breakdown on the hourly chart, indicating that bears are in control of the market. The alignment between price and RSI leaves no room for bullish divergence, confirming that downward momentum dominates proceedings.

The analyst’s first downward target is the $1.05-$1.09 price range. The upper range closely aligns with the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement level at $1.085 and implies a 16.7% drop from the current price. Meanwhile, a weaker scenario would entail an approximately 20% decline to the range’s lower boundary at $1.05.
According to her, this move will complete wave 3 in a broader corrective Elliott Wave pattern.
Brief Relief Before Further Pullback
The $1.05-$1.09 range is not the analyst’s final downward target, but she does not expect XRP’s correction to be a straight move. When it visits this area, CasiTrades predicts a brief relief rally in the form of a wave 4 uptrend.
The accompanying chart shows that this short rebound will push XRP to the 0.50 Fibonacci level at $1.271, representing a 21% recovery from $1.05. From there, the market watcher expects one final leg down.
Meanwhile, the target for this final downturn is the $0.87 macro support, aligning with the 0.854 Fibonacci retracement level. Notably, this culminates in a 33% drop from the current market price.
This has been Casi’s long-standing target for the current downturn, as she has repeatedly marked the dip as a necessary event before XRP can flip the bearish trend.
Bullish Targets When Downtrend Ends 
Despite the persisting downtrend, the long-term price target for XRP remains bullish, so much so that CasiTrades views $6 as conservative. Last month, she suggested that, after waiting for 8 years, the $3.6 ATH is unlikely to be XRP’s peak price, urging holders to raise their expectations.
In a separate analysis, she claimed that factors are aligning to take XRP’s price to $80 per coin. Other analysts, such as EGRAG Crypto, also share similar ambitious targets for XRP in the mid- to long term. The analyst sees XRP reaching $27, citing a breakout from a multi-year triangle.

#Shiba Inu lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama has clarified a misconception about his recent comment, particularly as it affects the price of SHIB.
Kusama sounded spiritual in his string of new X posts, discussing his newfound enthusiasm around doctrines. Meanwhile, a particular comment is drawing attention among Shiba Inu enthusiasts, one they feel relates to the price trajectory of the prominent meme coin.
Key Points
A tweet by Shytoshi Kusama stating that the “next appointed time” has arrived is drawing reactions from the Shiba Inu community.One reaction suggested that Kusama was discussing the appointed time for SHIB to rally to $0.00055.However, Kusama quickly discarded this line of thought, clarifying that the tweet had nothing to do with the token’s price.Shiba Inu at $0.00055 would imply a market cap of $324 billion at the current circulating supply.
“Appointed Time” for Shiba Inu to $0.00055
One of Kusama’s tweets stated that the “next appointed time” has arrived. While the SHIB ambassador mentioned other things, this part drew attention and elicited discussion in the community.
The comment received several interpretations, including those related to the price of Shiba Inu. For instance, Leeron Shim, a prominent community voice, suggested that Kusama was discussing the appointed time for SHIB to rally. Specifically, Shim claimed the lead ambassador’s comments meant this was the time for SHIB to reach $0.00055.
Notably, clamoring for much higher prices has been a long-standing desire in the Shiba Inu community. Despite recent downsides, proponents believe the future remains bright for the dog-themed meme coin, and the hope is what keeps the ecosystem buzzing.
The $0.00055 price mark is one of the milestones that holders anticipate. It marks a 9,222% increase from the current market price and is well above the current all-time high of $0.0000885. As such, when Kusama’s “appointed time” tweet came, Shim took it to mean he was suggesting the time had come for SHIB to hit the highly coveted price mark.
Nothing to Do with the Price of Shiba Inu
However, Kusama quickly discarded this line of thought. The lead ambassador replied that the tweet had absolutely nothing to do with the token’s price.
He further clarified it was about what he called a “global appointed time.” While he did not provide a clear context for this, Kusama claimed that those who feel the shift have chosen to ignore it.

Notably, he seems willing to shed more light on this. In his earlier post, the lead ambassador had noted that he would explain his assertions in detail at a later date.
Can Shiba Inu to $0.00055 Ever Happen?
At this time, Shiba Inu remains well within bearish territory. After underperforming in the last bullish phase, its price has pulled back considerably from earlier highs. For context, the token sits 60% below its September high of $0.0000148.
Despite these, analysts point to a mid and long-term recovery, targeting prior highs and possibly unprecedented levels. But is $0.00055 plausible for Shiba Inu?
According to the prediction site Telegaon, Shiba Inu would begin approaching this price level after 2035. It set a maximum price of $0.000516 by 2035 but a minimum price of $0.000804 by 2040, suggesting that SHIB would attain this price mark between 2036 and 2040.

However, Changelly does not see SHIB nearing this target even by 2050. Its maximum price target of $0.00000353 by 2050 is well below this ambitious price mark.
Notably, Shiba Inu at $0.00055 would imply a market cap of $324 billion if the current circulating supply of 589.24 trillion remains unchanged. Some view this as a big ask for a meme coin with little real-world use case, even if the sector does expand substantially in the future.

#Cardano looks good for an entry, and the target is a nice rebound with massive upside potential.
A TradingView analysis from MasterAnanda identified this development, even as the recent dip presents a new opportunity. Notably, Cardano has dropped 3.8% in the past 24 hours, a sideways trend that mirrors the broader crypto condition.
Key Points
Cardano has dropped 5.8% in the past 24 hours, a sideways trend that mirrors the broader crypto condition.The recent dip on March 31 to $0.2342 is the lowest price ADA has seen since the February 6 capitulation to $0.220.The Tuesday drop marked a higher low, presenting a great entry opportunity.The broader market remains relatively stable, with Bitcoin and Ethereum’s resilience lending support to ADA’s rebound.Cardano targets the 0.382 Fibonacci level at $0.643 and the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $0.904, but could reach $1.05.Reaching the target would result in a potential 3,270% gain for a 10x long position.
Cardano Retracement Presents New Opportunity
MasterAnanda noted that the recent dip has presented a new opportunity for Cardano. The analyst highlighted the recent dip on March 31 to an intraday low of $0.2342 as the lowest price ADA has seen since the February 6 capitulation to $0.220.
Notably, despite the over 3% correction in the past 24 hours, the coin has yet to reach the March 31 low, with the price bottoming at $0.2357 at press time. According to the market watcher, the Tuesday drop marked a higher low, presenting a great entry zone.
Furthermore, this is the closest Cardano has been to a multi-year low. The current support band between $0.233 and $0.280 is a local demand zone, with the last visit in August 2024, when prices bounced from $0.275 to hit $1.32 by December 2024.
Bitcoin and Broader Market Stable
The analysis also identified that the broader market remains relatively stable. Bitcoin reacted to Donald Trump’s recent update on the Iran conflict, dropping to $66,300. However, this has happened before, and the crypto leader has somehow managed to recover.
It rebounded to above $68,000 yesterday from under $65,000 last week, reinforcing its resilience in the face of this geopolitical uncertainty. Recall that BTC has outperformed gold and the S&P 500 since this tension started.
Ethereum, on the other hand, has also shown resilience. It reclaimed $2,100 before yesterday’s event but still remains above $2,000 despite the washout.
MasterAnanda believes that while bulls are not in control, the current stability could build momentum for a recovery. This could help Cardano’s course to rebound considerably to higher prices.
Cardano Uptrend Targets
Meanwhile, his accompanying chart presents where Cardano could be headed if it holds the current support. The first is the 0.382 Fibonacci level at $0.643, and the next is the 0.618 Fibonacci level at $0.904. However, the analyst noted that the rally could exceed this point to $1.05.

In view of this, the chartist recommended a 10x long position with a 5% allocation. The entry point is around $0.2050 and $0.2500. Notably, reaching the target would result in a potential 3,270% gain. The stop for this position is a weekly close below $0.2230.
However, it is important to note that this may not play out as expected due to the unpredictable nature of the crypto market, which could lead to losses. As a result, investors should not regard this as investment advice.

🚨 La Guerra en Irán Desata el 'Armagedón Cripto' de 2026
Deja un "me gusta" y comenta para que crezcamos todos.
Te lo devuelvo.
[EXCLUSIVA DE BINANCE SQUARE] — El mundo contiene la respiración. Lo
que comenzó como tensiones geopolíticas ha escalado a un punto crítico en Irán
este 2026, y el impacto no se ha quedado en las fronteras de Oriente Medio. Se
ha extendido, como una onda expansiva digital, directo al corazón del mercado
de criptoactivos, desatando una volatilidad estructural sin precedentes que
está reescribiendo las reglas del juego financiero global.
Olvídenos de las correlaciones tradicionales. Estamos
presenciando el nacimiento de un nuevo paradigma: el criptoactivo como herramienta de valor soberano en zonas de guerra.
La Paradoja del Refugio Digital
La reacción inicial del mercado fue un manual de
aversión al riesgo: el pánico se apoderó de los inversores, provocando una
caída inmediata de Bitcoin del 3.8%. Pero lo que sucedió después ha dejado
atónitos a los analistas de Wall Street. En un giro espectacular, la
resistencia del activo se impuso, registrando un repunte superior al 8% en casos clave.

¿Por qué? Porque el criptoactivo está jugando una partida
doble y peligrosa. Por un lado, cae ante el miedo global, pero por el otro, se
dispara como la única cobertura real ante la inflación galopante y la inestabilidad sistémica.
El Salvavidas Irán: Civiles vs. Sanciones
Dentro del propio Irán, la situación es desesperada. Con
el rial (la moneda local) en colapso total, las criptomonedas se han convertido
en el único salvavidas financiero para los civiles. Los datos registran un
aumento masivo en retiros a billeteras personales, una señal inequívoca de que
la población prefiere la soberanía digital a una moneda nacional moribunda.

Pero esta misma tecnología está sirviendo a un
propósito oscuro. Datos on-chain
innegables revelan que direcciones vinculadas al Cuerpo de la Guardia
Revolucionaria Islámica (IRGC) están manejando grandes volúmenes de activos
digitales, utilizándolos de manera flagrante para operar fuera del sistema
bancario tradicional y evadir las sanciones internacionales. Cripto es,
simultáneamente, la libertad del ciudadano y la herramienta del régimen.
Contagio Total: Ormuz y los Hubs Cripto

El conflicto ha tensado los mercados energéticos, con
el Estrecho de Ormuz amenazado, lo que contagia directamente a los
criptoactivos debido a la interconexión con el precio del petróleo. La
inestabilidad es tan profunda que incluso centros cripto vitales, como Dubái,
se han visto afectados, obligando al trabajo remoto y enfriando la actividad presencial.
El resumen
es claro y aterrador: El conflicto de Irán ha consolidado a Bitcoin no solo
como un activo especulativo, sino como una herramienta geopolítica fundamental,
amplificando la volatilidad financiera global y demostrando que, en la guerra
moderna, el código puede ser tan poderoso como el acero.
