Bitcoin rises above $71,000 again, but the market does not confirm. Indeed, volumes fall to unprecedented levels since 2023, while participation remains limited. This increase, far from reflecting an influx of buyers, seems driven by external factors. This discrepancy between price and activity raises questions about the strength of the ongoing movement.

The XRP derivatives market has been contracting for several months. Since July 2025, open interest has been steadily declining, signaling a gradual disengagement from leveraged positions. This discreet but structural movement is accompanied by a significant slowdown in aggressive demand. Behind these data, a phase of leverage withdrawal is emerging, with direct implications for market dynamics.

While states are piling up gold like nervous squirrels, individuals cling to bitcoin, revealing a strange division of the global monetary power.

XRP retreats at the very moment its status reaches a decisive milestone. Now classified as a commodity, the asset could have attracted renewed interest. That is not the case. The market remains under pressure, caught between technical weakness and macroeconomic tensions. This discrepancy between regulatory progress and price reaction reveals a still hesitant market.

Bitcoin operates in a context of divergent signals. While flows to ETFs remain limited, derivative markets reflect rising caution among investors. This opposition reflects an environment marked by macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. Current data depict a market divided between institutional resistance and growing trader concern.

The largest holders of the Ethereum network have just returned to profit, a shift that, in the past, has often preceded marked bullish phases. As the market tries to stabilize, this change in dynamics draws analysts' attention and revives expectations of a bullish move. Between on-chain data and key technical levels, Ethereum is entering a decisive phase.

One billion XRP is to be released in April 2026. Such a volume raises questions. However, previous unlockings show a more nuanced pattern. Ripple injects only a fraction of the tokens into the market, the rest being placed back in escrow. This fourth monthly unlocking fits into a well-oiled mechanism, where supply management and operational strategy limit the real impact of these operations.

The weekly RSI of bitcoin returns to an area that the market is watching closely. This signal recalls a pattern that appeared at the end of the 2022 bear market, without offering proof of a reversal. In a still fragile context, this technical reading reignites the debate over bitcoin's trajectory and the market's ability to turn an early signal into a lasting recovery.

Coinbase expands its offer with perpetual futures contracts on stocks, accessible 24/7. An evolution that further brings traditional markets closer to the crypto ecosystem.

Evernorth has reached a key milestone in its listing project. By filing an S-4 form with the SEC as part of its merger with Armada Acquisition Corp. II, the company reveals its strategy around XRP tested in public markets. Thus, Evernorth aims to make XRP a structuring asset in a listed vehicle intended for institutional investors.

The market is starting to test the strength of Bitcoin's rebound again. Prediction platforms Polymarket and Kalshi now assign a strong probability to BTC dropping below 55,000 dollars in 2026, while US spot Bitcoin ETFs plunge back into the red. Such a sequence revives doubts about the strength of the rebound.

Back to 76,000 dollars, bitcoin rekindles the hypothesis of a bullish recovery, without dispelling doubts about the strength of the rebound. On-chain data improves, flows recover, but several confirmation markers remain out of reach. Behind the return of optimism, one question dominates: is the market really restarting, or is it just a simple respite?

On March 18, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $163.5 million in net outflows, ending seven consecutive sessions of inflows, even as BTC dipped below $71,000 after surpassing $75,000 earlier in the week. Such a halt occurs when these products were only $100 million away from returning to positive territory since the start of the year.

Gold sends a more contrasted signal than it appears. Behind the classic image of a safe haven, the market today shows a clear divide between retail investors who continue buying via ETFs and institutions who have started to lighten their positions.

The Fed did not change its rates, but the real signal is elsewhere: uncertainty stands out as the new driver of the markets. Between persistently high inflation, signs of economic slowdown, and increasing geopolitical tensions, the American central bank adopts a defensive stance. This monetary status quo reveals an increasingly complex equation, where every decision is suspended to external factors difficult to control. Such a situation already redefines the short-term economic and financial outlook.

Bitcoin retreats at the worst moment. Just hours before the Federal Reserve's decision, stronger-than-expected U.S. inflation suddenly cooled the crypto market, reigniting doubts about a rapid monetary easing. This movement reveals an unavoidable reality: BTC evolves with the pace of macroeconomic indicators. Between inflationary pressure and expectations around the Fed, this sequence could well redefine the short-term market dynamics.

Institutional capital is making a consistent return to the crypto market. In just a few sessions, spot Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated significant inflows, far from a mere opportunistic move. This dynamic fits within a context marked by a major regulatory evolution in the United States, which changes the sector's benchmarks and could sustainably redefine market balances.

OpenSea plays it safe: SEA launch postponed. A strategic decision or an admission of weakness in the crypto market? Analysis here!

Robert Kiyosaki revives the scenario of a major crash with a prediction that is already shaking the crypto market. The author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" sees bitcoin reaching 750,000 dollars and Ethereum 95,000 dollars one year after a global financial crisis. Beyond the announcement effect, his statement raises a decisive question: what would alternative assets be worth if distrust towards the financial system suddenly worsened?

Bitcoin has surpassed 75,000 dollars, crossing a highly symbolic threshold that revives market euphoria. Yet, behind this rapid progress, signals sent by professional investors remain ambiguous. The rise seems more fueled by technical dynamics than by a clear return of institutional demand. This gap raises a central question: is this the beginning of a new bullish cycle or a fragile movement driven by temporary market mechanisms?

Strategy's bitcoin accumulation strategy reaches a new milestone. The company led by Michael Saylor has just purchased $1.57 billion worth of BTC, bringing its reserves to 761,068 bitcoins. Such an operation further strengthens the company's position as the world's largest public bitcoin holder. For several years, Strategy has been gradually converting its treasury into BTC, making the company a central player in institutional accumulation. This new acquisition confirms the scale of a strategy that continues to influence the market.

The crypto market reopened the week with a brutal move. Bitcoin surpassed 73,000 dollars on March 16, while Ether regained the 2,200 dollar zone. At the same time, nearly 300 million dollars of short positions were liquidated within 24 hours, which accelerated the rise.

A new controversy shakes the Bitcoin ecosystem. The BIP-110 proposal, aimed at limiting certain data recorded on the blockchain, provokes an open confrontation between developers and historical figures of the network. Designed to curb the rise of inscriptions linked to Ordinals and Runes, this protocol modification triggers strong criticism. Among them, Adam Back, a pioneer of the cypherpunk movement, denounces a true "regression" for Bitcoin. Behind this technical debate lies a central question: how far can bitcoin evolve without betraying its fundamental principles?

Transparency of public blockchains is both their strength and their limitation. Every transaction is visible, a feature that still deters some businesses and institutions. The XRP Ledger could soon provide an answer to this dilemma. A key contributor to the XRPL ecosystem has revealed the outlines of a development based on Zero-Knowledge Proofs, a technology that allows validating a transaction without disclosing the sensitive data it contains. This is a breakthrough likely to change how privacy is viewed on the XRP network.

For years, crypto investors have followed an almost immutable rule: when bitcoin takes off, altcoins eventually explode too. This phenomenon, called altseason, has long shaped market cycles. However, this pattern might belong to the past. The explosion in the number of tokens and the redistribution of capital are disrupting the market balance. Some industry leaders now talk about shorter cycles and brutal rotations. Is altseason disappearing?

Market reversals often occur when pessimism reaches its peak. While uncertainty dominates the financial markets, one signal draws analysts' attention: bitcoin now outperforms American stocks. In a recent analysis, Coinbase Institutional believes the crypto market may have reached a "peak of pessimism," a pivotal moment when investor sentiment is at its lowest. This divergence between bitcoin and Wall Street revives the debate about a possible change in dynamics for cryptos.

While stock markets waver under the impact of geopolitical tensions, bitcoin follows an opposite trajectory. The leading crypto shows a strong weekly performance, surpassing stock indices in a climate of global uncertainty. This divergence once again attracts the attention of institutional investors. Thus, Michael Saylor's company Strategy could have a financial leverage of 776 million dollars to strengthen its BTC purchases. Between strategic accumulation and a tense macroeconomic context, several signals suggest that bitcoin could enter a new market phase.

The interest of institutional investors in cryptos continues to grow, but not all assets enjoy the same enthusiasm. As crypto ETFs multiply, the strategies of traditional finance giants offer valuable insight into market priorities. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has just provided a clear answer: for the vast majority of investors, two assets dominate flows. According to the company, most demand for crypto ETFs is now concentrated on bitcoin and Ethereum, while other cryptos remain largely behind.
