On Tuesday, February 24, trader Jussy said on X that if Solana loses the $76.57 support, a bear flag developing since early February 2026 could resolve lower toward $37.88, with risk extending to $30. He also flagged a four-hour triple top implying $61.73 on a breakdown, while CoinMarketCap data show SOL is down over 38% year to date and recently bounced above $86.

Bitcoin is trading near $68,220 and has recently tested the $64,000–$64,400 region, while an Elliott Wave-based outlook suggests the broader fifth wave may still be unfolding. Analyst Tara highlights key support between $59,900 and $60,500, warning that a final downside move could extend toward $52,000 if the structure continues, although a reclaim of $64,000 and a break above $70,000 would strengthen the bullish case. The 4-hour RSI is nearing oversold territory, and traders are watching for a bullish divergence as a possible sign that the corrective phase is ending.

An Elliott Wave specialist on X has outlined a bearish roadmap suggesting Bitcoin is entering the final leg of its current downtrend, with Wave 5 now in play and the prior corrective Wave 4 structure considered complete. The analysis maps an initial downside objective around $60,385 from a spot price near $65,000, followed by a deeper potential trough near $55,759 based on Fibonacci levels.

In an X post, BitQuant explained why many traders are avoiding Bitcoin and Ethereum around recent lows, noting reluctance to buy BTC at $65,000 amid geopolitical concerns. CryptoQuant recently warned of a deeper decline, highlighting $38,900 as the long-term holders' cost basis. According to the article, the U.S. president over the weekend proposed lifting the global tariff rate from 10% to 15%.

Crypto analyst BarriC recently outlined two contrasting price paths for XRP, depending on whether the next major move is driven mainly by retail speculation or by real-world utility. In a retail-led phase, he believes inflows from individual traders could lift XRP toward the $5–$10 area, though such moves may be volatile and short-lived. In a separate utility-focused phase built on large-scale adoption of the XRP Ledger and Ripple's payment infrastructure, he argues that XRP could in theory climb into much higher triple- and even five-figure price zones.

Developers have proposed XLS-56d to add Batch Transactions to the XRP Ledger, enabling atomic bundling of up to eight transfers for more predictable outcomes. The amendment remains under validator voting, and a bug discovered prior to activation led to a temporary veto recommendation. A software update is expected next week to deprecate the current version before a fixed release.

Santiment's latest on-chain data shows XRP has posted a realized loss of about -908 million XRP, the largest capitulation signal since November 2022 when losses neared -1.93 billion XRP. In that earlier episode, the sell-off marked a price floor and preceded an approximately 114% advance over eight months. XRP has recently dropped from above $3 into the mid-$1 range, and if a similar pattern plays out from around $1.35, a recovery toward or beyond the $2 level could follow.

Crypto analyst Alexhiz on TradingView outlines a macro correction for Ethereum, warning that support above $1,900 could fail and a roughly 60% slide toward $600 may be ahead. He argues a capitulation-driven liquidity reset could enable long-term accumulation, with potential targets of $10,000–$15,000 in 2028–2029.

Bitcoin has repeatedly failed to close above $70,000 and remained capped below that level, trading around $66,980 at the time of writing. According to analyst Sherlock, a rebound into $72,000 to $76,000 could be a bull trap, citing Strategy's 714,644 BTC at a $76,052 average cost and additional supply risks from spot ETF positioning.
