Market Signal Briefing

Pippin’s [PIPPIN] price action reflects classic memecoin expansion followed by rapid unwinding, as momentum shifts from hype to distribution.

The rally from $0.20–$0.30 into the $0.90 peak shows aggressive speculative inflows, likely driven by social momentum and short-term positioning.

As the price approached $0.90, selling pressure intensified, leading to a sharp drop toward $0.15, which marked the first major profit-taking phase. This move weakened the structure, as buyers failed to sustain higher levels, allowing momentum to fade.

Source: TradingView Price then consolidated briefly before breaking below $0.15, accelerating downside toward $0.0915, now acting as immediate support. RSI near 36 confirms bearish momentum, yet it is not fully oversold, which leaves room for further downside.

This decline reflects liquidity exit and fading demand, as speculative capital rotates out quickly. If $0.0915 fails, price may extend toward $0.05–$0.07, reinforcing a fragile, sentiment-driven structure.

Long liquidations accelerate as PIPPIN’s structure weakens As price breaks below $0.15 and accelerates toward $0.0915, derivatives positioning confirms that the decline is driven by forced unwinding rather than fresh bearish bets.

Open Interest contracted to 74.14 million, dropping 12% in 24 hours and nearly 40% across major venues, which shows traders are closing positions instead of adding exposure.

Source: CoinGlass This shift reflects a long unwind phase, where overleveraged participants exit as losses mount, amplifying downside pressure. At the same time, Funding Rates remained positive near 0.05%, which revealed that some longs still held positions, expecting a rebound despite weakening structure.

As liquidations increased, long-side wipes dominated, contributing to cascading sell pressure and reinforcing the breakdown. This imbalance highlights a fragile market, where liquidity thins as participants retreat.

With conviction fading and capital exiting, the structure becomes hollow, meaning price lacks strong support. Until Open Interest stabilizes and funding normalizes, the market remains vulnerable to further downside or sharp volatility spikes.

Short-term strength builds as PIPPIN finds a floor After the sharp breakdown, price began stabilizing between $0.082 and $0.10, forming a clear short-term floor. As lower lows disappeared, buyers gradually absorbed remaining sell pressure, shifting structure from decline to accumulation.

The RSI recovered from oversold levels below 20 to around 50.6, signaling improving momentum as buying strength starts matching selling pressure. This transition suggests that short-term control is slowly rotating back toward bulls.

Source: TradingView At the same time, volume declines noticeably compared to the crash on the 17th of March, indicating seller exhaustion as aggressive dumping fades. With fewer sellers, smaller buy orders can now influence price more effectively.

Price tightens below the $0.113 resistance, creating a compression range. If this level breaks, momentum could accelerate toward $0.15, confirming a short-term reversal structure.

Final Summary PIPPIN’s collapse from $0.90 to $0.0915, driven by long liquidations and a 40% Open Interest drop signals liquidity exit and fragile structure. PIPPIN stabilization between $0.082 and $0.10 with RSI recovery and declining volume suggests seller exhaustion, positioning for short-term rebound if $0.113 breaks.

TL;DR:

The Solana Foundation presented the “Privacy on Solana” report, proposing privacy as a customizable feature rather than a technical limitation. The new model offers four operational levels: pseudonymity, confidentiality, anonymity, and fully private systems for corporations and large firms. The ecosystem aims to resolve regulatory challenges through “audit keys” that enable compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) and surveillance standards. At the beginning of the week, the Solana Foundation presented a comprehensive privacy framework to capture capital from major financial institutions. This initiative seeks to transform the perception of public blockchains, moving from total transparency to a model where companies control what information they reveal and to whom.

The technical deployment is supported by the network’s high processing capacity and low latency, allowing advanced encryption techniques to operate at speeds similar to those of the traditional web. With a robust market capitalization and an expanding ecosystem, Solana is betting on the use of encrypted order books and private credit risk calculations to differentiate itself from its competitors.

A Transition Toward Privacy-on-Demand Typically, crypto networks prioritize pseudonymity—a structure that is insufficient for corporate use cases, such as payroll processing or confidential balance sheet management. In this sense, the proposal moves away from an “all-or-nothing” approach to offer a spectrum that allows entities to choose their level of data exposure according to business needs.

Consequently, institutions can now execute transactions without exposing their order sizes or share risk data between banks without revealing individual balances. This hybrid approach is made possible through the integration of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) and Multi-Party Computation (MPC), tools that guarantee operational integrity without sacrificing security.

In summary, the report reflects that privacy and regulation can coexist through selective transparency mechanisms. By offering a compliance path that is composable with the rest of the DeFi ecosystem, Solana positions itself as an infrastructure prepared for mass adoption by the traditional financial sector.

Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia (NVDA +1.80%), has been talking a lot about agentic artificial intelligence (AI) in recent weeks.

He's right to do so, as agentic AI represents the next leap in AI technology.

No matter how advanced modern AI programs might seem when you interact with them, the way they function is, in essence, identical to how an ordinary computer program does.

You input a prompt, and the AI outputs an answer to that prompt. It's functionally no different from using a word processor. You input key presses on your keyboard, and your computer outputs letters on your screen.

However, with an agentic AI program, you could give it general instructions and have it interact with the internet on your behalf.

While the technology is still in its infancy, Google's parent company, Alphabet (GOOG +0.08%)(GOOGL +0.34%), has already emerged as an early leader in it.

Image source: Getty Images.

Somewhere, beyond the sea Subscribers to Google's $250/month AI ultra plan get access to Project Mariner, the company's experimental AI agent.

Project Mariner is fully integrated into Chrome and can interact with websites on behalf of its human supervisor through it. For example, Project Mariner can purchase your tickets to a sporting event or concert, or even buy groceries for you online.

It still can't interact with the physical world on your behalf, it can't even interact with the internet outside of one browser, but it is far closer to what many of us likely imagined when AI programs first started coming onto the scene in 2022.

There are competitors, of course, both OpenAI and Anthropic offer Operator and Computer Use, respectively. But I think it's Alphabet that has the most potential for a few reasons.

Google, Google that for me I'll start with Alphabet's edge over OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither of them has turned a profit yet.

Now, both companies have plans to achieve profitability, and Anthropic is far closer to achieving it with a stated goal of 2027 to 2028, but neither one will rival Alphabet anytime soon.

For instance, Anthropic is projecting $70 billion in annual revenue by 2028. Alphabet generated $113.8 billion in Q4 of 2025 alone, which represented 18% growth over Q4 2024, and it managed a net profit margin of 32.81%.

Put simply, Alphabet has way more resources to throw into its AI program than either of the two most prominent companies focused on the industry.

And the meteoric rise of Google Gemini, Alphabet's answer to Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT, is further proof of Google's rising dominance in the AI space.

Back in 2023, ChatGPT controlled a 50% share of the Enterprise Large Language Model (LLM) market. Meta controlled 16%, Anthropic had 12%, and Google Gemini was sitting at a paltry 8%.

Fast forward to the end of 2025, and ChatGPT's market share has fallen to 27%, and it's likely to soon be overtaken by Google Gemini, which has surged to 21% market share. Meta, meanwhile, has lost half its market share and fallen to 8% while Anthropic's Claude has grown to 40% market share.

But Alphabet is set to profit from Anthropic's rise as well.

From cyberspace to reality Unique among its AI peers, which all rely on Nvidia's graphics processing unit (GPU), Alphabet is building its own AI hardware, the tensor processing unit (TPU), which it designed in collaboration with Broadcom (AVGO +4.08%).

I'll spare you the technical details, but there are some key differences in role and cost that mean the TPU and GPU are not necessarily interchangeable. But the TPU does represent one of the first real competitors to Nvidia's hardware dominance.

And Anthropic announced late last year that it planned to add up to one million TPU chips to its hardware through 2026, or about one gigawatt of computing capacity. So, even when its apparent rivals win, so too does Alphabet, which is an enviable position for a company to be in, wouldn't you say?

So, given Google's emerging AI dominance and the fact that it's one of only a handful of companies to bring an agentic AI to market, albeit in an experimental prototype capacity, I think it's well poised to be a frontrunner in the agentic step of AI's evolution as a technology.

Oil prices gained in Asia trading Tuesday after clocking steep declines overnight, as traders assess developments related to the Middle East conflict.

Brent crude futures for May rose over 3% to $102.96 per barrel while the West Texas Intermediate futures for May jumped 3.6% to $91.27 per barrel.

The uptick follows a sharp sell-off on Monday, with Brent crude falling about 11% to around $99 per barrel on Monday after topping $112 on Friday.

Oil prices since the start of the year

"I AM PLEASE TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST," Trump said Monday in a Truth Social post.

"I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD," Trump wrote.

Trump's statement sent oil lower, while equities jumped. Still, the recovery on Tuesday suggests lingering skepticism over Trump's claims — that were also refuted by Iran. 

"Despite the exuberance on Wall Street, ladies and gentlemen, oil is well off its lows after Tehran denied conducting any weekend negotiations with Washington," said José Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers, who added that the risk of an extended war remains at the top of the mind for the market.

Torres noted that repeated attacks on critical energy infrastructure in the Middle East are fueling continued concerns over potential disruptions to production and transportation.

"Additionally, in consideration of the vast number of attacks that have affected critical energy in the Middle East … there's nervousness that there could be capacity and transportation disruptions that keep costs higher than at the beginning of the year even if there's a deal," he wrote in a note published on Tuesday.

The Strait of Hormuz was handling about 20% of global seaborne oil supplies until the war broke out, before Iran virtually stopped flows via the critical waterway. 

Iranian state media said Sunday that Tehran would permit safe transit through the strait, except for ships associated with its "enemies."

, /PRNewswire/ -- Robbins LLP reminds stockholders that a class action was filed on behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Soleno Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SLNO) common stock between March 26, 2025 and November 4, 2025. Soleno is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for rare diseases. The Company's only commercial product is diazoxide choline extended-release tablets ("DCCR") for the treatment of hyperphagia in individuals afflicted with Prader-Willi syndrome ("PWS").

For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.

What is the class period? March 26, 2025 – November 5, 2025

What are the allegations? Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Soleno Therapeutics (SLNO) Misled Investors Regarding the Viability and Efficacy of its Phase 3 Clinical Trial for DCCR

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose: (a) that the Soleno Phase 3 clinical trial program for DCCR had systematically downplayed, misrepresented, and/or concealed significant evidence of safety concerns potentially related to the administration of DCCR, including issues related to excess fluid retention in clinical trial participants; (b) that, as a result of (a) above, the administration of DCCR to treat hyperphagia in individuals with PWS posed materially greater safety risks than disclosed by the Company or its executives; and (c) that, as a result of (a)-(b) above, DCCR had materially lower commercial viability and undisclosed risks related to the likelihood of significant and widespread adverse events after its commercial launch, including risks related to patient discontinuation rates, lower patient adoption, prescriber reluctance, adverse regulatory action, and potential reputational and legal fallout.

Plaintiff alleges that on August 15, 2025, Scorpion Capital released an extensively researched and exhaustively detailed exposé on problems with Soleno's clinical trial conduct, safety and efficacy concerns with DCCR, and patient reports of serious adverse reactions related to the drug following its commercial launch. On this news, the price of Soleno stock declined nearly 12% over two trading days.

Then, on September 10, 2025, Soleno filed with the SEC a current event report on Form 8-K disclosing that a patient had died after taking DCCR. On this news, the stock declined nearly 19% over two trading days.

Finally, on November 4, 2025, Soleno reported its financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025. CEO Bhatnagar revealed that the Scorpion Capital Report had caused a "disruption" in DCCR's launch trajectory and concerns within the PWS community, with a lower number of patient start forms and increased discontinuations beginning after the report's publication. On this news, the price of Soleno common stock declined from nearly $64 per share on November 4, 2025 to close at approximately $47 per share on November 5, 2025, a one-day decline of approximately 27%.

What is the class period? November 5, 2025 – February 26, 2026

What are the allegations? Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. (EOSE) Misled Investors Regarding its Business Prospects

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) the Company was unable to achieve the ramp in production and capacity utilization required to achieve its previously set guidance; (2) the Company's battery line downtime was running well above industry norms, the design intent of the line, and internal forecasts; (3) the Company was experiencing delays in the ability for its automated bipolar production to hit quality targets; and (4) the Company's inadequate systems and processes prevented it from ensuring reasonably accurate guidance and that its public disclosures were timely, accurate, and complete.

Plaintiff alleges that on February 26, 2026, Eos Energy announced disappointing fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, reporting, among other things, full year 2025 revenue of $114.2 million, falling far short of the Company's previously issued guidance of $150 million to $160 million for fiscal year 2025 revenue. The Company further reported a "gross loss of $143.8 million," a "net loss attributable to shareholders of $969.6 million," and an "adjusted EBITDA loss of $219.1 million." Further, on the Company's earnings call, the CEO disclosed that certain "issues prevented us from delivering our commitments," including that "battery line downtime ran well above industry norms, the design intent of the line and our internal forecast," and "the ability for the automated bipolar production to hit quality targets took longer than expected. That drove rework and lost revenue." On this news, Eos Energy's stock price fell $4.39, or 39.4%, to close at $6.74 per share on February 26, 2026.

What is the class period? June 16, 2025 – January 8, 2026

What are the allegations? Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc. (AQST) Misled Investors Regarding Approval of Anaphylm

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants created the false impression that Aquestive was on track to receive approval for the Company's New Drug Application (NDA) for Anaphylm by the January 31, 2026 Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date. In contrast, the FDA identified deficiencies with Aquestive's NDA for Anaphylm precluding labeling discussions and post-marketing commitments. For the FDA to grant approval for any NDA, any deficiencies must be remedied, therefore the launch of Anaphylm was delayed, indicating that Aquestive failed to obtain approval for Anaphylm by the PDUFA date.

Plaintiff alleges that on January 9, 2026, Aquestive announced that the Company was in receipt of a letter from the FDA identifying deficiencies that precluded labeling discussions for Anaphylm. Moreover, Aquestive revealed that the letter from the FDA confirmed that the Agency's review of Anaphylm NDA was ongoing and no final decision had been made, which effectively delayed the approval of Anaphylm well beyond the January 31, 2026 PDUFA date. On this news, the price of Aquestive's common stock declined over 37%, from a closing market price of $6.21 per share on January 8, 2026, to $3.91 per share on January 9, 2026.

Boston Scientific is a global company that develops, manufactures, and markets medical devices used across various specialties.

For more information, submit a form, email attorney Aaron Dumas, Jr., or give us a call at (800) 350-6003.

What is the class period? July 23, 2025 – February 3, 2026

What are the allegations? Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that Boston Scientific Corporation (BSX) Misled Investors Regarding Projected Revenue

According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the Company's projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth while also minimizing risk from seasonality and macroeconomic fluctuations. In truth, Boston Scientific's ambition of continuing "to grow our share in the overall EP market" to maintain a growth trajectory at "2x the market" had fallen short of reality; the Company had begun to experience new competition entrants that were sapping Boston Scientific's U.S. Electrophysiology market share and thus limiting the Company's growth potential.

Plaintiff alleges that on February 4, 2026, Boston Scientific published a press release announcing fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, including a pertinent disappointment in U.S. EP sales, and issued guidance for fiscal 2026 that fell well below expectations. The Company attributed its results and dismal guidance on a combination of slower than expected market growth alongside increased competition, despite management's previous claims of a "growing" EP business and assertions they "have a very good understanding of what competition we will face and in what time frame." On this news, the price of Boston Scientific's common stock declined over 17%, from a closing market price of $91.62 per share on February 3, 2026, to $75.50 per share on February 4, 2026.

Rivian's inflection point is here Rivian has garnered some positive headlines recently as the innovative EV maker prepares to release its high-tech, yet affordable, R2 fleet this spring. Rivian is also partnering with Uber to provide 50,000 self-driving taxis. The deal means Uber will invest $1.25 billion into the company over the next five years.

Rivian's automotive division is still not profitable, but a joint venture with Volkswagen is providing the business with a meaningful cash cushion. Because of the technology services Rivian provides to Volkswagen, the company has a positive overall gross profit.

Rivian needs the R2 launch and Uber partnership to succeed and create a real path to profitability that isn't solely dependent on its engineering and technology services. Rivian is still speculative, but definitely trending in the right direction. The upcoming launch of its mid-size mass-market SUVs is an important milestone.

Rivian remains a high-risk, high-reward speculative buy for investors willing to tolerate volatility.

BYD overtakes Tesla The Chinese-based automaker BYD surpassed Tesla last year as the world's best-selling EV maker. The company is almost fully vertically integrated, building its own batteries, semiconductors, and most components. This structure gives it a very real competitive advantage.

BYD is rapidly expanding globally, opening factories in Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The biggest issue BYD is facing right now is back home in China. The EV maker's sales in its homeland have declined steadily as formidable competition erodes its market share.

Because BYD is based in China, for U.S. investors, this does pose a geopolitical risk. The company needs to prove it can be sustainably profitable overseas while also clawing back market share in China. The stock has fallen nearly 27% over the past year, so for patient investors, BYD is fairly priced.

Ford's successful pivot Ford is obviously not a pure-play EV manufacturer. The legacy automaker's push into EVs has been far more successful than those of other combustion-engine manufacturers. Still, the company's line of EVs is struggling to build strong momentum in the U.S.

Ford's EV models are affordable and competitive with other brands such as Tesla. The Michigan-based company also has a diverse blend of vehicles, including hybrids, which creates a more reliable cash flow. The company's EV roadmap isn't as exciting as Tesla's or Rivian's, but its track record is solid.

Because Ford's fleet is a mix of combustion, hybrid, and EV models, it has a larger moat and is more resistant to downturns. EV sales have slowed, but Ford is still in a stronger overall position than the pure-play EV makers.

Ford's stock is better suited to value investors than to growth investors. The company's dividend yield is a whopping 5.15% right now. Ford stock has declined 12% to start 2026. EVs are not a bright spot for Ford at the moment. If you're going to invest in Ford as an EV play, you'll need to expect a long time horizon when it comes to finding its footing in the space.

General Motors is underappreciated GM is a lot like Ford in that it's a legacy automaker with a wide array of gas, hybrids, and electric vehicles. GM is also investing in software and is seeing a scalable revenue boost because of it. With both software and cash-printing gas vehicles, GM's EV fleet is less risky.

GM's stock has had a great 12 months, rising more than 47% as of March 20. The company's forward price-to-earnings ratio is also currently under 6. This figure is low even in an industry known for its very reasonable P/E ratios.

What stock should you buy? All of the Tesla competitors discussed here have different reasons why they might be attractive to investors. Ford and GM are well-established and profitable, and thus slightly less risky. You likely won't see exciting growth with them, though. Rivian and BYD could potentially dethrone Tesla worldwide as they continue to expand their brands. They are, however, far more speculative. Which competitor stock to choose depends on your goals and risk tolerance, but each company makes its own bullish case.

Ethereum’s momentum cracked. The RSI trendline for the USDT pair broke down, and crypto analyst Umair Crypto spotted the shift that’s got traders nervous about what comes next. Bears smell blood.

The breakdown started with Ethereum’s USDT pair losing its technical footing, according to Umair Crypto’s latest analysis. But here’s the kicker – the ETH/BTC pair sits right on the edge of a similar collapse. If that happens, we’re looking at double confirmation that could send Ethereum tumbling hard. It’s the same pattern Solana followed before its recent nosedive, and traders remember how that played out. Nobody wants to get caught holding the bag when momentum shifts this fast in crypto markets.

Double Breakdown Looms The ETH/BTC pair hasn’t cracked yet. That’s keeping some hope alive for Ethereum bulls who’ve watched their favorite crypto hold up better than most during recent market chaos. But analysts warn that Ethereum’s strength might be running on fumes now.

Market fatigue is setting in across the board, and Ethereum can’t stay immune forever. The technical picture looks pretty grim when you dig into the details. RSI momentum indicators don’t lie – when they break key trendlines like this, it usually means more pain ahead. Traders who’ve been through multiple crypto cycles know these signals matter. And right now, they’re flashing red for Ethereum.

The timing couldn’t be worse either. Over $2.1 billion worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum options expire soon, coinciding with Wall Street’s massive $5.7 trillion Triple Witching event. These events don’t directly move markets, but they amplify whatever trends are already in motion. If Ethereum’s technical breakdown accelerates during this period, the selling pressure could get intense fast.

So far, no major exchanges have commented on the increased volatility expectations. Binance and Coinbase both show higher trading volumes recently, suggesting traders are positioning for big moves ahead.

Market Pressure Builds Ethereum’s price hovers around $1,800 as of March 24, a level that’s become crucial for both technical and psychological reasons. This price point represents a key battleground between bulls and bears. Break below it decisively, and the next support doesn’t show up until around $1,700 according to most chart watchers.

Bitcoin’s influence can’t be ignored either. Trading near $27,000, Bitcoin’s own struggles add pressure to Ethereum’s situation. When Bitcoin shows weakness, altcoins typically follow – and Ethereum, despite being the second-largest crypto, isn’t immune to this dynamic. The correlation between major cryptocurrencies remains strong during periods of market stress. Analysts have drawn connections to Public Companies Load Up on Ethereum amid evolving conditions.

DeFi platforms are watching nervously too. With roughly $50 billion locked in DeFi protocols that rely heavily on ETH as collateral, a sharp Ethereum price drop could trigger liquidation cascades. DeFi Pulse tracks these metrics closely, and their data shows how vulnerable the ecosystem becomes when Ethereum’s price gets volatile.

Institutional investors seem to be playing both sides. Glassnode data indicates some institutions have been accumulating Ethereum recently, but their exact strategies remain murky. Are they buying the dip or hedging existing positions? Hard to tell.

Veteran trader Alex Krüger tweeted March 23 about potential opportunities in the chaos. He thinks rapid declines often create short-term bounce opportunities for nimble traders. But Krüger also emphasized watching that $1,700 support level carefully – if it breaks, things could get ugly fast.

The Ethereum Foundation hasn’t said anything about current market conditions. Their silence leaves the community guessing about their perspective on these technical developments. Sometimes no comment speaks volumes in crypto markets.

Reached for comment, major Ethereum developers didn’t respond to requests about the RSI breakdown implications.

What Traders Watch Next All eyes stay glued to the ETH/BTC pair now. If it confirms the USDT pair’s breakdown by breaking its own key levels, that double confirmation could trigger aggressive selling. The pattern would be complete at that point. This development aligns with AI Payments Could Boost Stablecoin Demand, highlighting broader market trends.

Market participants are positioning for volatility either way. Options activity has picked up significantly, with both puts and calls seeing increased interest. Traders are betting on big moves but disagree on direction.

The next few trading sessions will probably determine whether Ethereum’s recent resilience was real strength or just a temporary pause before a bigger decline. Technical analysis suggests the bears have the upper hand right now, but crypto markets can surprise everyone when least expected.

March 24’s trading action could set the tone for the rest of the week. Volume patterns and price action around key support levels will tell the story.

Balancer co-founder Fernando Martinelli said Balancer Labs will shut down as the protocol pivots toward a leaner, DAO-led structure following months of financial strain and fallout from a 2025 exploit.

Cardano is trading at a critical juncture, with the $0.25 price level serving as its most important support zone in the current market cycle. After months of steady decline, this level represents the last meaningful line of defense before a potentially deeper correction unfolds. The central question facing ADA traders and investors right now is simple: will this support hold?

From a technical standpoint, $0.25 has shown some degree of reactivity. Buyers have stepped in at this zone on multiple occasions, preventing an immediate breakdown. However, the quality of those recoveries raises serious concerns. Each bounce has been shallow, consistently forming lower highs — a pattern that reflects distribution rather than genuine accumulation. That distinction matters enormously when assessing the strength of any support level.

The broader trend adds further pressure. Cardano continues to trade well below its 26, 50, and 200 exponential moving averages, all of which are trending downward. This bearish alignment typically weakens support zones over time, especially when they face repeated tests without a meaningful recovery in price structure.

Volume analysis reinforces the concern. There is no notable surge in buying activity near the $0.25 zone, which signals a lack of conviction from institutional or large-scale participants. Strong support levels are usually characterized by aggressive demand — and that simply is not present here.

Should $0.25 give way, the next area of meaningful structural support does not appear until around $0.20, leaving a significant gap of downside exposure. While the level is holding for now, current market conditions suggest it functions more as a temporary floor than a reliable foundation. Without a clear shift in volume dynamics and trend direction, the probability of an eventual breakdown outweighs the case for a sustained recovery.

John Haar, managing director at Swan Private, says the policy response to COVID remains one of the clearest catalysts for Bitcoin adoption in recent years and argued that another large-scale round of money creation is likely a matter of when, not if. In an interview with Milk Road, Haar said the next “big print” may emerge within the next three to 24 months, driven by anything from war and banking stress to pension insolvency or AI-related labor disruption.

The Next Big Print Favors Bitcoin Haar framed the argument less as a prediction of an imminent event and more as a recurring feature of the monetary system. He pointed to COVID-era stimulus and balance sheet expansion as a lived experience that changed how many investors thought about fiat risk and scarcity.

“Like you said, two big prints kind of in most people’s adult lifetime, and the most recent one being COVID,” Haar said. “And I can just say, I saw firsthand how many people that affected people to say, whoa, that, you know, as all those things I said, they can just print money, stimulus checks, et cetera, et cetera. But I also, this is not just a theory, because I’ve seen it firsthand, hundreds of clients at SWAN who I’ve talked to.”

That direct client experience appeared central to his point. Haar said one of the first questions he asks new clients is about their “Bitcoin story,” and he described a recurring pattern among those who entered the asset after witnessing the monetary and fiscal response to the pandemic. In his telling, COVID did not merely validate a macro thesis for existing Bitcoin holders; it created a new cohort of buyers who saw policy discretion up close and drew their own conclusions.

He tied that experience to a broader historical rhythm. Referencing Lawrence Lappard’s book The Big Print, Haar suggested that periodic bursts of money creation are not anomalies but episodes the system revisits “with some frequency.” He stopped well short of calling for an immediate repeat, however, and explicitly pushed back on near-term alarmism.

“I’m not one of these people who’s saying it’s going to happen next month,” Haar said. “That’s usually too premature. You should typically fade those calls. But I do think it is a matter of time.”

A notable part of Haar’s argument was psychological rather than purely macroeconomic. As the COVID shock recedes further into the rearview mirror, he said, investors risk slipping back into complacency. “As more years go by, this is just human nature,” he said, adding that people begin to forget “how crazy that monetary response was” and return to a kind of policy normalcy bias. In his view, that fading memory does not reduce the odds of another major intervention; it simply makes markets less mentally prepared for one.

He then laid out a range of possible triggers. A “large scale geopolitical war or military mobilization” was one, though he said current tensions do not yet qualify and would need to escalate much further. He also pointed to AI-driven labor displacement, state budget collapses, pension insolvency, renewed regional banking stress, a private credit crisis, structural entitlement expansion through programs such as Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare or student loan forgiveness, and major climate or natural disasters.

The next big print is coming (bookmark this).

Timeline: 3 to 24 months.

The triggers: AI job displacement, state budget collapses, pension insolvency, regional bank crises, geopolitical war.

“I believe that one of those things or multiple of those things will happen.” pic.twitter.com/1x1bgvl612

— Milk Road (@MilkRoad) March 22, 2026

“And then lastly, this has kind of been on the list for all of human history,” Haar said, “but if there’s some sort of major climate disaster or natural disaster, something like that could cause a big print. So I know I just threw a lot out there in the list, but I believe that one of those things or multiple of those things will happen at some point in the next, you know, three to 24 months.”

TRM Labs has noted that federal officials in North Carolina have confiscated more than $61 million in stablecoin USDT tied to one of the most sophisticated and damaging online fraud schemes targeting everyday investors. TRM Labs also mentioned that the action, disclosed recently by the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina, highlights the growing success of law enforcement in recovering stolen digital assets through advanced tracing techniques.

TRM Labs pointed out that the probe originated from a single victim report filed via Homeland Security Investigations’ tip line.

HSI agents in Raleigh took the lead, supported by the agency’s international operations team.

Working closely with blockchain intelligence specialists at TRM Labs, investigators unraveled a complex web of transactions that spanned multiple digital wallets, blockchain networks, and money-laundering tactics.

Despite the perpetrators’ efforts to obscure the trail through mixing services, cross-chain swaps, and layered transfers, the immutable nature of public ledgers allowed analysts to cluster related addresses and pinpoint consolidation points where victim funds had pooled.

At the core of the case lies a classic “pig butchering” operation—a meticulously orchestrated social engineering scam designed for maximum long-term extraction.

Fraudsters first build emotional trust with targets, often posing as romantic interests or trusted confidants.

Once rapport is established, they pivot to promoting a seemingly exclusive cryptocurrency trading opportunity, complete with proprietary strategies and insider access.

Victims are steered to counterfeit platforms that closely mimic legitimate exchanges in design and interface.

These fake sites display inflated account balances and phony profits to encourage further deposits.

Early small withdrawals are typically permitted to bolster credibility, but as sums grow, fabricated demands for taxes, compliance fees, or liquidity proofs emerge—traps that funnel money straight into the criminals’ control.

Such schemes operate like industrial enterprises, with specialized teams handling victim outreach, platform development and maintenance, and financial routing.

According to TRM Labs’ latest Crypto Crime Report, fraudsters siphoned roughly $35 billion into similar operations across public blockchains in 2025 alone, with pig butchering schemes representing a disproportionately large share of the total losses.

The recent seizure targeted residual balances in commingled addresses that still held substantial victim proceeds.

USDT issuer Tether cooperated fully in transferring the seized assets, paving the way for forfeiture proceedings aimed at eventual restitution.

TRM’s graph analysis, behavioral clustering, and transaction-timing tools proved instrumental in mapping the flow—from initial exchange deposits through decentralized finance protocols and into final consolidation wallets.

This case underscores a critical lesson in modern financial crime response: rapid victim reporting combined with seamless collaboration between agencies, blockchain analytics firms, and digital asset providers dramatically improves recovery odds.

Even as criminals adapt their laundering methods to match blockchain speeds, the transparent ledger creates a permanent record that investigators can exploit when they move quickly enough.

The operation indicates that organized crypto fraud, no matter how polished or global in reach, leaves traceable footprints.

With continued advancements in on-chain intelligence, authorities are steadily shifting the balance toward victims and away from perpetrators. As asset recovery efforts accelerate, this $61 million seizure stands as both a tangible win and a potential deterrent against one of the fastest-growing threats in the digital economy.

TL;DR:

Analyst Celal projects a new all-time high of $145,000 for Bitcoin, placing the fulfillment of this target between the months of October and November. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator is emerging as the technical catalyst, with a predicted climb toward the overbought zone at 90 points. Analysts such as Ali Martinez identify a critical “no-trade zone” between $65,636 and $70,685, where 1.72 million BTC have been transacted. New technical protections in the cryptocurrency market are putting Bitcoin in sight of $145,000. Analyst Celal revealed that the pioneer crypto is building a solid floor before initiating a parabolic rally that will conclude in the last quarter of the year.

On the technical side, this move into the green zone will coincide with an increase in trading volume and an RSI that will touch extreme levels of 90. However, in the short term, Bitcoin is facing strong psychological resistance at $70,000, being affected by geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran and uncertainty regarding Fed rates.

Macroeconomic Challenges and Critical Support Levels While some experts show optimism, other analysts, such as Ali Martinez, call for caution. Currently, more than 1.72 million BTC moved within the $65,636 range, indicating that buyers and sellers are engaged in an unprecedented battle. Only a clear breakout above $70,685 would confirm the continuation of the bullish momentum.

On the other hand, the macroeconomic environment presents headwinds. Rising oil prices and the Federal Reserve’s reluctance to lower interest rates place Bitcoin in a vulnerable position within the risk curve. Analysts like Colin warn that if current supports are not maintained, the asset could prolong its corrective phase before seeking the proposed targets.

In summary, although the timeline toward $145,000 is mapped out under the premises of strength indicators, the path is conditioned by geopolitical stability and the ability to overcome the current price consolidation.

Strategy（前 MicroStrategy）上周以约 7660 万美元增持 1,031 枚比特币，Katana 区块链宣布收购去中心化交易所 IDEX，纽约证券交易所则完成了取消加密货币 ETF 期权交易头寸限额的规则变更。三则消息分别指向机构囤币、DeFi 整合与交易基础设施升级，构成本周加密市场的关键动态。

Strategy 上周斥资 7660 万美元增持 1,031 枚比特币 Michael Saylor 旗下的 Strategy 上周再次出手，以约 7660 万美元购入 1,031 枚 BTC。这是该公司连续数周的买入操作之一，但购买节奏较此前有所放缓。

1,031 BTC

Strategy 上周新增持仓

来源：公司公告 · 2026年3月

按本次购买总额 7660 万美元计算，平均成本约为每枚 74,300 美元。Strategy 目前是全球持有比特币最多的上市公司，自 2020 年将比特币纳入资产负债表以来，已通过多轮系统性增持积累了庞大的 BTC 储备。

公司此前曾通过发行普通股和可转换票据等方式为比特币购买筹集资金。Strategy 的持续买入被市场视为机构级比特币需求的风向标，其 MSTR 股价也在最近一次增持消息公布后出现上涨。

尽管单次购买规模有所收窄，Strategy 的累计增持趋势并未中断。该公司的官方购买记录页面显示，其比特币配置策略保持一贯的系统性节奏。在传统金融机构同样加速布局加密领域的背景下，BlackRock CEO 近期关于代币化将让移动投资像发送支付一样简单的表态，进一步印证了机构资本对数字资产基础设施的关注正在升温。

Katana 区块链收购去中心化交易所 IDEX Katana 区块链宣布收购混合订单簿式去中心化交易所 IDEX。这笔交易标志着一条新兴区块链对现有 DeFi 交易基础设施的直接整合。

IDEX 是加密行业中运营时间较长的去中心化交易所之一，采用链下撮合、链上结算的混合模式，在执行速度与去中心化之间寻求平衡。该交易所此前已部署在多条区块链上。

Katana 方面表示，收购 IDEX 旨在将成熟的 DEX 交易功能直接嵌入其链上生态。具体的交易条款，包括是否涉及代币置换或现金对价，目前尚未完整披露。

这一收购案反映出当前 DeFi 领域的一个趋势：L1/L2 区块链正在通过并购方式垂直整合交易基础设施，而非依赖第三方 DEX 自行部署。对于现有 IDEX 用户而言，关键问题在于流动性是否将迁移至 Katana 链，以及现有的交易对和订单簿深度能否在迁移过程中得到保留。

双方尚未公布具体的整合时间表。近期链上大额资金流动频繁，24,500 SOL 从匿名钱包经中继地址转入 Binance 等事件也显示出市场参与者在 DeFi 与中心化交易所之间的资金调配日趋活跃。

纽交所完成取消加密 ETF 期权头寸限额的规则变更 纽约证券交易所（NYSE）已完成一项规则变更，正式取消加密货币 ETF 期权交易的头寸限额。此前，加密 ETF 期权合约受到严格的持仓上限限制，制约了机构投资者的操作空间。

纽交所完成加密 ETF 期权规则变更

这项规则变更预计将影响包括 IBIT、FBTC、ARKB 在内的多只现货比特币 ETF 的期权交易。此前的头寸限额意味着大型机构在构建对冲头寸或做市策略时面临合约数量的硬性上限。

取消限额后，机构做市商可以建立更大规模的期权簿，这有助于收窄买卖价差，提升市场流动性。对于需要进行大额对冲的养老基金、对冲基金等机构投资者而言，操作灵活性将显著提升。更大的期权持仓空间使得跨期套利、波动率交易和结构化产品构建等复杂策略成为可能。

从更广泛的角度看，NYSE 的规则变更属于交易基础设施的成熟化升级。自 2024 年现货比特币 ETF 获批以来，围绕这些产品的衍生品市场一直在逐步放开限制，以匹配传统股票 ETF 期权的交易条件。加密衍生品和预测市场的基础设施都在快速迭代，Polymarket 近期也宣布将从 3 月 30 日起扩大 Taker 费用覆盖范围至 8 个新的市场类别。

三则消息背后：机构参与的多维度推进 同一周内，Strategy 继续系统性囤积比特币，Katana 通过收购整合 DEX 交易层，NYSE 则为机构期权交易扫除头寸障碍。三者分别作用于资产持有层、DeFi 交易层和传统金融衍生品层。

Strategy 的买入节奏放缓但未中断，表明其比特币配置策略已进入常态化阶段，不再依赖单次大额买入制造市场冲击。根据多家媒体的跟踪报道，MSTR 股价在增持消息公布后有所上涨，市场对 Strategy 的持续买入仍保持积极反应。

NYSE 期权规则的变更时间点值得注意。随着现货比特币 ETF 的资产管理规模持续增长，期权市场的配套放开是机构参与深化的必然环节。

Katana 收购 IDEX 则代表了加密原生领域的另一条整合路径。当区块链项目开始直接收购交易所而非等待生态自然生长，DeFi 的竞争逻辑正在从开放协作转向垂直整合。后续需要关注的是 IDEX 的整合进展，以及这笔交易是否会引发更多类似的 L1/L2 并购 DEX 案例。

Ethereum [ETH] saw $80.2 million in liquidations in the past 24 hours, with $65.6 million being long liquidations. These numbers were relatively tame compared to the $1.1 billion in ETH liquidations on the 31st of January.

That did little to lighten the mood around the leading altcoin. Crypto and stock markets were in the same boat of extreme despair after recent losses.

The Ethereum whales’ unrealized profit ratio climbed back into positive territory again as prices pierced the $2k level. While this seemed to suggest bullish momentum can build, AMBCrypto highlighted the $2,353 level as the aggregate realized price.

In other words, the $2.4k area could arrest any potential rally, as ETH holders might exit the market at breakeven, given the extremely fearful conditions. The longer-term trends gave a mixed picture.

The bullish long-term swing structure of ETH Source: ETH/USDT on TradingView On the weekly timeframe, ETH has a bullish swing structure. Based on the 2025 rally from $1,383 to $4,955, a set of Fibonacci retracement levels was plotted. It showed that the 78.6% level was at $2,147.

The ETH bulls have been fighting to reclaim this retracement level as support since losing it in February and were close to rallying the price back above it.

One concern was that the OBV had made a lower low compared to April 2025. At the same time, the MACD was yet to form a bullish crossover, a sign that higher timeframe momentum has not begun to change.

Source: ETH/USDT on TradingView Meanwhile, the 1-day structure was bearish, and the H4 swing structure was bullish. These were conflicting signs, unlike Bitcoin [BTC], which was bearish on both the weekly and daily timeframes.

Which way should Ethereum investors and traders anticipate the price to go? Ethereum tends to follow Bitcoin, and the leading crypto has a bearish long-term trend. In the coming weeks, a rally toward $83k-$89k was possible. This could take Ethereum toward the $2,770-$3,049 Fibonacci golden pocket on the daily timeframe.

Therefore, a sustained Bitcoin rally could push ETH toward $2.5k-$2.7k. This was the optimistic scenario. A lack of strong demand, as the OBV’s weekly timeframe lower low hints at, could severely curtail any Ethereum rally.

Investors should also remember the aggregate realized price and the threat of profit-taking if a rally materializes.

Final Summary Ethereum gave mixed signals on multiple timeframes. Its bullish weekly and bearish daily charts posed a challenge for investors. A rally toward $3k is possible, but it depends on Bitcoin climbing above $80k in the coming weeks and a shift in crypto market sentiment.

MDA Space is downgraded from strong buy to buy after a sharp stock price recovery and surpassing the C$27.61 price target. Revenue surged 51% to $1.63B, and EBITDA rose 49%, but margin compression and heavy investment signal a shift from high growth to execution focus. 2026 guidance points to 10% revenue growth, margin pressure, and neutral to negative free cash flow as MDA shifts to executing a $4B backlog and $40B pipeline.

SummaryTrump says US and Iran have 'major points of agreement'Iran rejects the claims of contact with WashingtonMacquarie says Brent could hit $150 if Hormuz stays shut through AprilMarch 24 (Reuters) - Oil prices rose in early trade on Tuesday on ​supply fears, as Iran denied it had held talks with the United States to end the war in ‌the Gulf, contradicting President Donald Trump, who said a deal could be reached soon.

Brent futures rose $1.06, or 1.1%, to $101 a barrel at 0001 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) climbed $1.58, or 1.8%, to $89.71.

Crude futures dropped more than 10% on Monday, after Trump said he had ordered ​a five‑day delay to attacks he had threatened on Iran's power plants, adding the U.S. had held ​productive talks with unnamed Iranian officials that had produced "major points of agreement".

"By shelving the plan ⁠to strike Iranian power plants for five days, the U.S. effectively sucked much of the 'war premium' from the ​oil price," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.

"Today's moderate bounce is just the market finding its footing ​in the mud. Traders are aware that while the missiles are on hold, the Strait of Hormuz is still far from a clear waterway."

The war has all but halted shipments of about one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas through the Strait ​of Hormuz. However, two tankers bound for India sailed through the strait on Monday.

Tehran rejected the claims of contact with Washington, ​dismissing them as an attempt to manipulate financial markets, while Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they had launched new attacks on U.S. ‌targets and ⁠denounced Trump's comments as "worn‑out psychological operations."

"Even with a possible decrease in tensions after (Monday's) announcement from President Trump, we expect a price floor of $85–$90 and a natural drift back to the $110 range until the Strait of Hormuz is restored," Macquarie said in a note.

It added that if the strait remains effectively shut until the end of April, Brent could ​still reach $150 per barrel.

Fighting has ​damaged energy infrastructure across ⁠the region. In the latest attacks, a gas company office and a pressure‑reduction station were hit in Iran's central city of Isfahan, while a projectile also struck a gas pipeline ​feeding a power station in Khorramshahr, the Iranian semi‑official Fars news agency reported.

The United ​States has temporarily ⁠waived sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil already at sea to ease shortages. Industry sources said traders have offered Iranian crude to Indian refiners at a premium to ICE Brent following Washington's move.

The International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol said on ⁠Monday it ​is consulting Asian and European governments on possible further releases of ​strategic reserves "if necessary".

Oil executives and energy ministers at a conference in Houston warned of the longer‑term impact of the U.S.–Israel war with Iran on the ​global economy, though U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright downplayed the crisis.
