XRP Price In April: The Lows, The Highs, And Final Blast-Off
The red arrows and boxes in the chart showcase the downside testing zones, suggesting that wicks formed here could push XRP to a new low range between $1.90 and $1.79. Notably, this price low, indicated by the green zones on the chart, represents a potential support zone for the altcoin. Egrag Crypto has also disclosed that the projected decline is expected to be a “wicking process”, meaning a temporary dip before a quick price recovery.
Following the downward wick, XRP is anticipated to retest upper ranges between $2.80 and $3.00, as indicated by the blue box in the chart. This level serves as a key resistance zone, where buying pressure could determine whether the altcoin achieves higher price levels or continues consolidating.

Dogecoin Breaking These Levels Could Be The Catalyst For Next Bull Run, Analyst Says
In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has discussed about the resistance walls present ahead for DOGE based on the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD). The URPD is an on-chain metric created by the analytics firm Glassnode that tells us, in short, about the amount of supply that was bought at various levels that Dogecoin has visited in its history.
Coins are said to be ‘bought’ when they become involved in a transaction on the blockchain. As such, the URPD records the price at the time of any coin’s last transaction as its cost basis.
Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows how the Dogecoin URPD is looking right now:

Dogecoin Weekly RSI Flashes Bullish Signal Towards $1
Dogecoin has been on a shaky path lately, entering March with a steep decline and only briefly reclaiming momentum before stumbling again. After starting the month in a downtrend, the meme coin managed to climb back to the $0.20 mark during the middle of the just-concluded week.
However, that recovery was short-lived. Dogecoin has since dropped to around $0.17 in the past 24 hours, and there’s the possibility that it could dip even further if selling pressure persists. Yet, despite the current pullback, a technical signal that has previously preceded major rallies this cycle is taking shape on the weekly candlestick chart.

This Week in Bitcoin: GameStop Reveals Reserve, But Inflation Fears Rear Their Head
Bitcoin swung up and down—as usual—over the last week, and while things were looking up midweek, familiar inflation fears helped sink the price by the time Friday rolled around.
The coin's price was recently at $82,480 per coin, according to CoinGecko, after hitting a nearly three-week high of $88,474 on Monday. As of this writing, Bitcoin is now down by almost 2% on the week.
Bitcoin's dip came after the U.S. Commerce Department reported Friday that the core Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, or PCE, was up 0.4% in February—its largest monthly increase in over a year.

We’ve Turned A Generation of Bitcoiners Into Digital Goldbugs
Bitcoin is a technology. It is not some force of the universe, some natural element or mineral that was “discovered” floating out in the ether. It is a technology. Technologies are created by human beings, not discovered. They are designed. That design has intent, elements of it are made specifically in a way to facilitate that intent. The tolerances of what a technology can or cannot handle are a result of those design decisions, which are in turn a result of the intent.

Solana scores social media app guru Nikita Bier to advise with mobile push
On Tuesday, Nikita Bier took to social media platform X to announce he has joined Solana as an advisor. "Solana has the fundamental building blocks for something to break out on mobile and certainly many apps are making headway," said Bier.
Bier is famous for founding the popular social media app tbh, acquired by Facebook in 2017. After the company, now known as Meta, discontinued the app, Bier relaunched a similar app under the name Gas, which Discord acquired in 2023, according to TechCrunch.
"I’m joining Solana as an advisor to help select companies launch and grow their apps," Bier said Tuesday. "For a couple years I've been discussing with Raj Gokal and [Solana Labs co-founder] ways to get more involved. The ecosystem has now matured to a point where Solana apps can now top the charts."

Biden Policies to Trump Era: Financial Analyst Sees Recession as Economic ‘Cleansing’
In a recent report, financial analyst Ed Dowd, founding partner of investment firm Phinance Technologies, warns of a “short but deep” U.S. recession in 2025, citing policy reversals, immigration reductions, and a government crackdown on fraud as key drivers. In his report, “Danger of Deep Worldwide Recession in 2025,” Dowd asserts that economic conditions artificially inflated under the Biden administration will unravel, necessitating a restructuring phase under potential Trump-era policies.

Solana Long-Term Holders In Fear — Time To Buy The Dip?
The price action of Solana was quite underwhelming over the past week, mirroring the worsening climate of the altcoin market. Interestingly, the launch of the SOL futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during the week did very little to jolt the altcoin’s price back to life.
Following the severe price downturn that hit the market, including the Solana token, investors were left wondering when it was best to “buy the dip.” The latest on-chain observation suggests that it might finally be time for investors to get back into the SOL market.

Solana CME futures volumes reach $12.1M: Was the launch a dud, or is more to come?
Solana’s CME futures trading volume was well below the BTC and ETH day one launches, but analysts are reluctant to label it a failure.
Throughout the current bull market, spot ETF approvals and CME futures contract launches have consistently boosted investor sentiment and put wind behind the sails of various cryptocurrencies. Comparing the normalized volumes adjusted for the market cap differences of BTC, ETH and SOL on their first CME futures trading day provides a fairer comparative analysis.
Normalized volume measures trading activity relative to a crypto asset’s market cap, offering a transparent evaluation across different cryptocurrencies. This metric is valuable since it allows an understanding of institutional engagement with respect to a crypto asset’s market cap.

Solana retracts video ad amid backlash from crypto community
Solana posted the ad on social media on Monday but deleted it a few hours later when it faced backlash online. The video, however, continues to circulate on X.
The ad featured content deemed insensitive towards gender issues, with some claiming that the ad was anti-queer.
In the video, an individual named "America" appears to undergo therapy for "rational thinking syndrome," with the therapist wanting the individual to come up with a "new gender" or "focus on pronouns."
"I will lead the world in permissionless tech, build onchain and reclaim my place as the beacon of innovation," the individual said. "I want to invent technologies, not genders."

Pakistan Officially Launches Crypto Council for Regulations
The Pakistani government has officially taken a concrete step toward regulating and utilizing digital assets by forming the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC). Announced on March 15, 2025, the ruling represents a significant change in the national policy on blockchain and cryptocurrency.
As CNF has reported, the plan to establish the PCC was first proposed in February 2025. The move was not just a domestic initiative, but was also driven by recommendations from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). To increase state income, the IMF has long urged Pakistan to widen its tax base, including the digital assets industry.

Arthur Hayes Predicts Bitcoin Surge To $250,000 By Year-End, Says Current Downturn Is Clearing Out Deadwood: 'Short-Term Pain'
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has projected a significant increase in Bitcoin’s value, anticipating it will reach $250,000 by the close of the year.
What Happened: Hayes suggests that the current downturn in the crypto market is a temporary setback, part of a natural cycle.
In a recent interview, Hayes explained that the market is experiencing a correction after Bitcoin’s surge from $20,000 to $110,000.
"This thing is a short-term pain. We're clearing out the deadwood. We had a great run from $20,000 to $110,000 on Bitcoin, essentially FTX low until TRUMP coin, and now we got a 30% correction. It's pretty normal for a bull market," he said.

Solana’s price is dipping 5% on Thursday as bears forced another breakdown below the critical $125 support. The timing of the decline coincided with large amounts of SOL being unstaked in preparation for FTX creditor payouts, reinforcing bearish sentiment.
Solana’s price action over the past 24 hours has been underwhelming. Despite a 0.26% increase in the aggregate crypto market cap on Thursday, Solana, Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) were among the top-ranked assets with mild losses.
The chart above illustrates how SOL initially rallied 17.3% on Wednesday, reclaiming ground above $131 before sentiment suddenly turned bearish, triggering a sharp pullback.
