CryptoQuant has projected that Bitcoin could rebound to between $71,500 and $81,200 in the short term if macroeconomic risks ease, even though demand remains severely contracted, The Block reports. The analytics firm noted that despite continued buying from some institutions, overall Bitcoin demand is still sluggish, with selling pressure still outweighing buying pressure. However, CryptoQuant suggested that a short-term price rebound is possible if macroeconomic conditions improve, particularly if the conflict between the U.S. and Iran de-escalates. The firm explained that the $71,500 to $81,200 range represents a key resistance level in a bear market.

Grayscale noted in a recent report that cryptocurrency investors are taking a wait-and-see approach due to geopolitical risks in the Middle East, CoinDesk reported. The report stated that the conflict with Iran effectively dominated market trends in March, with inflation concerns from soaring oil prices and expectations of rising interest rates acting as risks for crypto and other risk assets. As a result, the crypto market has remained range-bound, lacking clear direction amid heightened volatility. Bitcoin initially fell to the mid-$60,000s at the start of the conflict before rebounding to the low-$70,000s. However, it is now facing renewed selling pressure as the Middle East risk becomes prolonged. From a long-term perspective, however, positive factors remain. The report explained that continued inflows into spot BTC ETFs and expanding positions in the futures market are gradually easing risk-off sentiment.

The likelihood of XRP reclaiming its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is very low, U.Today reported. The media outlet pointed to several factors, noting that XRP's current market cap of approximately $78.7 billion lags significantly behind Ethereum (ETH) at $244.3 billion and Bitcoin (BTC) at $1.32 trillion. From a technical standpoint, the XRP chart has shown consistent weakness since the second half of 2025, failing to reclaim key moving averages and showing only neutral to weak momentum. Structurally, its circulating supply of over 61.4 billion tokens continues to grow due to regular escrow unlocks, requiring massive capital inflows for any significant price increase—capital that is largely flowing to BTC and ETH. With Tether (USDT) firmly holding the third spot as a dominant force in stablecoin liquidity, U.Today described the idea of XRP retaking the position as an unrealistic scenario.

Even if Bitcoin confirms a bottom amid the current bear market, it is likely to trade sideways for several months before a recovery begins, CoinDesk reported. The analysis cited data from on-chain platform Glassnode's "Realized Cap HODL Waves" indicator. Currently, long-term Bitcoin holders account for about 80% of the total supply, a figure approaching the 85% level seen at previous bear market bottoms. Based on historical patterns, the price tends to bottom out several months before this indicator reaches the 85% mark. This suggests a period of consolidation where long-term investors accumulate Bitcoin at undervalued prices. Therefore, even if a bottom is imminent, a multi-month sideways trend could precede any significant upward movement.
