Ali Martinez says XRP has been trending higher since its 2021 lows, with a long-running trendline framing the $1.46 area as potential support. He argues the setup could present a buying opportunity, while XRP also reacted to new U.S. regulatory guidance that places it among non-security digital assets.

Finbold's AI prediction agent projects an average Ethereum (ETH) price of $2,153 for April 1, 2026, implying a -3.54% move from the current $2,242 level. The tool aggregates estimates from Gemini 3 Flash, ChatGPT 5.2, and Grok 4.1, with forecasts ranging from $1,855 to $2,370. Separately, ETH is up more than 8% on the monthly chart but remains below its 200-day SMA of about $3,193.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes reiterated a $150 price target for Hyperliquid’s native token, $HYPE, for August 2026. He pointed to oil perpetuals on Hyperliquid reaching $1.5bn a day and commentary that combined oil, gold, and silver open interest surpassed $1.5 billion, framing $HYPE as a high-beta way to gain exposure to the venue’s 24/7 commodities and macro trading growth.

Ethereum has remained below $5,000 even as Bitcoin printed new all-time highs, but analyst commentary argues a move back toward prior resistance could shift the outlook. Crypto analyst Javon Marks said a break above $4,900 could set ETH on a path toward $8,500, while derivatives metrics showed open interest rising from about $25 billion last week to over $32 billion this week alongside higher volume.

Solana’s SOL appears to be shifting from derivatives-led momentum toward spot-driven accumulation, with larger spot orders clustering between $80 and $100 and exchange balances falling to nearly 27 million SOL by March 2026. On-chain liquidity also expanded as stablecoin supply moved above $17 billion into early 2026. Together, the data points to supply being absorbed while readily tradable SOL tightens, potentially supporting a more stable base.

XRP has remained below the $1.80 level since it flipped from support to resistance in January 2026, leaving the broader trend technically bearish. The token rose 15% from March 9–16 and closed at $1.54 on March 16, but later met resistance at $1.6074 and slid back to around $1.46. An analyst says reclaiming $1.80 is the key trigger, with the $1.20–$1.30 area highlighted as a downside zone if the rejection persists.

The Algorand Foundation said it has reduced its workforce by 25%, attributing the move to the global macro backdrop and a broader decline in crypto markets. It said the restructuring is intended to better align remaining resources with the protocol's long-term objectives. ALGO was down about 10% and traded at $0.088 at the time of writing, while DeFi metrics on Algorand have also weakened.

Ethereum moved into an MVRV band that some analysts tie to long-term market lows after ETH fell under its realized price for the first time in two years. On Thursday, Ali Martinez said the MVRV ratio has slipped into the 0.8–1.0 zone, a setup he noted has preceded large rebounds in past cycles. Glassnode also reported on March 11 that ETH’s realized price was $2,058.04 with MVRV at 0.93, while ETH later traded at $2,139 at press time.
