Popular cryptocurrency XRP has faced a harsh technical reality on the monthly time frame. Fresh data from the Bollinger Bands indicator suggests that the current decline of XRP may be only the middle of the path toward a much deeper bottom.  Advertisement According to the latest chart from TradingView, XRP is now trading at just below $1.32, having lost a little more than 1.5% over the past day. However, the main concern is concentrated on the price position relative to key volatility zones, shown by the Bollinger Bands indicator.Technical "vacuum" to $0.62: Why XRP faces 50% downside riskThe lower boundary is currently located at $0.62 per XRP. And considering the absence of strong support levels on the way down, the technical vacuum is literally pulling the price toward this mark. This happened due to the abnormal growth of the token at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, when the price of XRP surged by 700% without building almost any significant price levels along the way.

The fact that the price is significantly below this line confirms the dominance of a global bearish cycle.

Crypto locked in a liquidity trap as weekend market risk spikes
The crypto market’s nearly 21% drop in Q1 has moved almost in lockstep with oil prices.

Notably, this trend is set to shape Monday’s market, especially with equities likely to react. Take the NASDAQ (NDX), for example – It closed Q1 down nearly 6%, marking its worst quarterly performance since Q1 2025.

Here, the culprit is the ongoing Middle East conflict, which has created a massive oil supply squeeze. The Strait of Hormuz, responsible for roughly 20% of global oil exports, remains under serious threat. The impact is clear – Oil closed Q1 up nearly 70%, sending ripples across risk assets, including crypto. 

According to AMBCrypto, that’s where President Trump’s recent post comes into play. With the escalation now official, analysts are expecting oil prices to surge towards $200 per barrel. In this context, Monday’s market reaction could be critical, with the odds of a sharp sell-off looking high. 

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s positioning index flipped negative, signaling that shorts are returning. This isn’t random. Instead, it’s a strategic move by traders, positioning for a potential downside in crypto once Monday’s session kicks off. With crypto heavily locked in a liquidity trap, even a small move could trigger sharp price swings, making the market extra sensitive to any catalyst.

Against this backdrop, President Trump’s post is now a key bearish trigger. Once Monday’s session begins, equities are set to react, putting crypto at high risk of a liquidation-driven bloodbath.

"Mild winter"Gold's surprising weakness  Advertisement According to recent analysis from Jurrien Timmer, director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, exchange-traded product (ETPs) flows clearly show that investors who abandoned Bitcoin in late 2025 are returning to the cryptocurrency. Market data indicated a massive change in sentiment when Bitcoin peaked back in October. Investors pulled out of digital assets and jumped on the "gold bandwagon." However, that trend is now flipping."Now that gold has lost its mojo while Bitcoin is finding its footing, the flows have reversed," Timmer noted, pointing to the recent divergence in the two assets' momentum. "To me, this is a good way to think about why gold has started acting like Bitcoin and Bitcoin has started acting like gold."

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Taiwan’s justice ministry is sitting on 210 Bitcoin, seized from criminals and worth roughly $14 million. Most governments would treat that as a footnote. The Bitcoin Policy Institute thinks it should be a starting point.Related Reading: Trump Says US Leaving Iran Soon — What This Means For Bitcoin And OilA Case Built On Worst-Case ScenariosIn a report published Tuesday, BPI research fellow Jacob Langenkamp made the case that Taiwan should build a national Bitcoin reserve — not mainly as a financial play, but as protection against the possibility of a Chinese military blockade or invasion. His argument is simple: if China cuts Taiwan off, gold cannot be moved and dollar reserves can be frozen. Bitcoin, he wrote, requires no physical transport and remains accessible regardless of what happens on the ground.Taiwan’s central bank had already looked at the idea and walked away from it. In December, the bank concluded that Bitcoin was too volatile, too hard to store safely, and too thin in liquidity to serve as a reserve asset. Source: Bitcoin Policy InstituteIt pointed to the US dollar as the more sensible option. Langenkamp acknowledged those concerns are real — but argued they can be solved with the right institutional know-how on custody and risk management.The Dollar Problem Analysts Say Taiwan Is IgnoringThe report’s broader warning centers on how exposed Taiwan already is to the US dollar. At least 80% of the central bank’s reserves are held in dollar-denominated assets, and most of its trade runs through the same currency.

Bitcoin becomes the live market over Easter as oil shocks hit and traditional finance goes dark
The Bitcoin market now has three trading days where it will act as the live venue for geopolitical risk while much of traditional finance is closed.

As of Friday, April 3, Wall Street is closed for Good Friday; several other markets are shut or thinner than normal; and the macro backdrop has become harder, rather than easier, to price.

Iran launched missiles and drones at Israel and the Gulf states. Fires were reported at Kuwait’s Mina al-Ahmadi refinery. The Strait of Hormuz remains the central transmission line through which geopolitical risk is moving into oil, inflation expectations, and broader macro sensitivity.



At the same time, WTI surged 11.4% to $111.54, and Brent rose 7.8% to $109.03 in the latest repricing move.

Bitcoin, by contrast, remains open and is still clearing over $33 billion in volume over the last 24 hours.

It is trading around $67,150 after an intraday range of roughly $65,780 to $67,373.

HTX Community Spring Creation ContestWL: Ethereum L2/SidechainChinese President Xi Jinping's sweeping anti-corruption campaign has claimed another senior casualty, with former Xinjiang party secretary

Chinese President Xi Jinping's sweeping anti-corruption campaign has claimed another senior casualty, with former Xinjiang party secretary Ma Xingrui now under formal investigation for alleged serious violations of party rules and national law. The development, confirmed by state media outlet Xinhua, marks one of the most dramatic periods of leadership upheaval China has witnessed since the Cultural Revolution — eclipsing even the turbulence of 1989.Ma's removal leaves the Politburo with just 21 members, its leanest composition in more than 25 years. Once regarded as a promising technocrat with a distinguished career in the aerospace industry — including senior roles at China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp and a governorship in Guangdong — Ma's political trajectory took a sharp turn during his time overseeing Xinjiang. His tenure there became overshadowed by the 2022 Urumqi fire tragedy, which ignited rare nationwide protests and contributed to the eventual collapse of China's rigid zero-COVID policy.Investigators are also scrutinizing Ma's reported ties to copper magnate Wang Wenyin, whose business empire suffered significant losses amid China's ongoing property sector downturn. These connections have led analysts to conclude that Xi's purge is no longer confined to the military establishment but is now penetrating industrial corridors and provincial governance structures.For global investors, the opacity surrounding Chinese elite politics continues to represent a significant risk factor. Following earlier probes into senior military figures, this latest move reinforces concerns about prolonged policy uncertainty. Economists warn that sustained high-level turnover can trigger decision-making paralysis at the regional level, as officials focus on self-preservation rather than implementing economic growth strategies.With power increasingly centralized around Xi, markets are weighing whether this

Render [RENDER] continued with its bullish streak, breaking out of the recent downtrend and summiting a three-week high of $1.92.

As of this writing, RENDER traded at $1.91, up 11.23% on the daily charts, adding to its 6% weekly gains. Over the same period, the altcoin’s volume rose 48% to $81.5 million, reflecting increased market participation.

RENDER speculators take hold of the market
While the market continued to suffer from reduced liquidity, RENDER has shown solid strength, consistent with active market participation.

On the derivatives side in particular, RENDER has experienced sustained demand for Futures positions. CoinGlass data showed that altcoin Open Interest rose 21% to $60 million, while derivatives volume climbed 35% to $128 million.



Source: CoinGlass
Such a jump in OI and Volume showed increased Futures market participation and steady capital inflows. In fact, over $9 million flowed into the futures positions over the past eight hours as of the 3rd of April.

Meanwhile, the altcoin’s Long/Short Ratio rose to 1.28, signaling a higher demand for long positions. As such, longs accounted for 56%, while shorts accounted for 43% of the total Futures positions.



Source: Coinalyze
When longs dominate, it suggests that most participants were bullish and aggressively positioned for more gains.

Profit takers return to the market
With RENDER reaching a three-week high, holders who have been underwater rushed to cash out.

Looking at exchange activity, Spot Netflow turned positive after being negative for two consecutive days. At press time, Netflow was $460k, a significant reversal from -$507 the previous day.

A positive netflow implied that the market saw more sellers than buyers. Such a shift in market behavior has historically weakened the market and led to pullbacks. Thus, extended profit realization could threaten recent gains and cause another slip.
