Happy Wednesday!

Bitcoin is trading quite predictably if you know which patterns to look at. It’s following 2022 and 2018 to a T — here’s what happens next.

XRP is eyeing $2 after a decent rally over the past week. Here’s what’s needed for a big move.

Plus, every fiat currency in history has eventually inflated away. Central banks in China, India, and Russia have been quietly dumping dollars and accumulating gold at a record pace. When the institutions start buying something else, that tells you everything. See The 2026 Gold Price Target

Bitcoin Follows Previous Bear Market Pattern, Analyst Says: Here's What Happens Next

Bitcoin tapped $76,000 — and analyst Benjamin Cowen says he's seen this movie before.

The rally from February lows into March is tracking the exact same midterm-year playbook as 2014, 2018, and 2022:

Find a February bottom, rally into March, get rejected at the bull market support band at $83,000, form a lower high, then sell off into summer.

Stablecoin dominance exploding from 8.5% to 12.5% confirms the pattern — and it hasn't rolled over yet.

Central Banks Are Dumping Dollars And Buying This Instead

Every fiat currency in history has eventually inflated away. The US dollar is 53 years into that process and the pace is accelerating with $35 trillion in federal debt and a Fed chair transition coming in May. Central banks in China, India, and Russia have been quietly dumping dollars and accumulating gold at a record pace. When the institutions start buying something else, that tells you everything.

QUICK N DIRTY

Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP have lost steam after a strong rally the past week and are looking jittery: here’s what’s moving markets today.

Bitcoin has not yet bottomed, according to a prominent analyst. Another 30% of downside may be still to come in 2026.

$75,000 has been the line in the sand for Bitcoin for a while. Why can’t BTC get past it?

XRP Eyes Breakout As $2 Resistance Comes Into Focus

XRP is up 5% on the week and closing in on the $1.85-$2 resistance zone that could trigger the next leg higher.

Analyst Cryptoinsightuk says RSI has returned to historically macro-bottom levels on higher timeframes, liquidity is stacked above current prices, and a clean break above $2 could spark a short liquidation cascade.

The bigger catalyst: Bitcoin dominance showing early signs of rolling over, which historically floods capital into altcoins — and XRP sits at the front of that rotation trade.
