The cryptocurrency market took a sharp downturn this week. The move appears linked partly to large Bitcoin transfers emerging from wallets associated with the defunct Mt. Gox exchange, combined with rising concerns about a possible US recession. These factors reportedly contributed to increased selling pressure among some traders and investors. Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence flagged significant Bitcoin movements related to Mt. Gox holdings on March 25. Tracked on-chain transactions showed approximately 893 BTC (valued around $78 million at the time) moved to a known cold wallet associated with the estate. Additionally, a much larger sum of about 10,608 BTC (worth roughly $929 million) was sent internally to a Mt. Gox ‘change wallet’. This marked the third such large transfer within a month from wallets tied to the long-collapsed exchange, further raising concerns about the potential market impact. Mt. Gox is slowly progressing through its years-long process of settling debts with creditors, and investors worry that a large influx of these formerly locked coins eventually hitting the open market could trigger significant sell-offs.

Recent public comments from U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the possibility of an economic recession reportedly increased investor anxiety across markets. The administration’s discussion of new tariffs on imports from key trading partners like Canada, Mexico, and China also weighed on sentiment, primarily due to fears of heightened global economic instability and potential inflationary effects. While Trump has also expressed support for digital assets historically – suggesting regulatory measures to support crypto growth and proposing a strategic Bitcoin reserve – his concurrent tariff talk creates conflicting signals for macro-sensitive markets. Adding further context is the ongoing, though fluctuating, correlation between Bitcoin and traditional risk assets like tech stocks. According to financial strategist Inky Cho, Bitcoin’s price correlation with the Nasdaq composite index currently stands near 40%. However, Cho and other market observers note different behaviors potentially emerging between Bitcoin and the broader altcoin market.

As the broader market consolidates, analysts are closely watching five specific tokens: XRP, Chainlink (LINK), Hedera (HBAR), Celestia (TIA), and Telcoin (TEL), as each displays distinct chart patterns near key inflection points. This report breaks down the current technical picture for these assets. XRP entered a bearish phase recently. Its Relative Strength Index (RSI) fell below 40, nearing oversold territory. The token lost the crucial $2.34 price level and subsequently broke below its 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) – currently around $2.17 – confirming short-term bearish control. At press time, XRP trades near $2.12. The $2 psychological level now acts as critical nearby support. If buyers fail to defend this zone, a deeper price correction could follow towards lower historical support levels like $1.95. Related: Major Liquidity Event: $320M+ Token Unlocks To Reshape Altcoin Market This Week Chainlink (LINK) lost the $14 price level earlier and now trades around $13.98. Recent price action shows LINK breaking below support at the middle Bollinger Band (near $14.14). Widening Bollinger Bands currently indicate rising volatility for the asset. The next significant technical support lies at the lower Bollinger Band, situated near $12.55. For a convincing bullish reversal, LINK first needs to reclaim the mid-band around $14.14 before potentially targeting higher resistance levels. Related: XRP ETF News, ETH Upgrade, AI Hype: April Looks Big for These 4 Altcoins HBAR declined roughly 4.2% over the past 24 hours, trading near $0.1760. Fibonacci retracement analysis places HBAR near a key support zone based on its prior uptrend. If this support area breaks decisively, the next technical downside target sits near $0.1650. This level corresponds to the important 61.8% Fibonacci retracement mark. Conversely, if buyers successfully step in here, HBAR could aim for a rebound back towards the $0.19 resistance area where sellers previously took control. Celestia (TIA) experienced a sharp downturn recently, falling about 8.4% to trade near $3.32. The price currently struggles below its 20-day EMA (around $3.47). This suggests difficulty regaining short-term bullish momentum. Adding to technical concerns, the On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicator reflects declining buying pressure, potentially indicating weak underlying demand at current levels. If TIA fails to reclaim the 20-day EMA soon, further declines testing the $3 psychological support level appear possible based on the chart structure. Telcoin (TEL) also faced a significant downturn, dropping over 9% to trade near $0.005137. Current price action actively tests the lower Bollinger Band support level, found around $0.004913. Trading near or below the lower band often suggests potentially oversold conditions, which can sometimes precede a short-term price bounce. However, if sustained weakness pushes TEL conclusively below this band, the next clear chart support appears near $0.0049. Should buyers re-enter, TEL could see an attempted recovery towards the Bollinger Band mid-line, currently situated near $0.0057.

A crypto analyst used Cardano (ADA) price action to illustrate the broader crypto market’s conflicting signals currently. According to “cryptorecruitr” on X (formerly Twitter), ADA’s chart suggests a possible short-term decline. However, the longer-term perspective still presents a potentially bullish outlook. The analyst argued both short-term bearish and long-term bullish projections can hold validity simultaneously for traders. An individual’s decisions, they noted, depend on personal strategy and preferred timeframe. The analysis concluded both scenarios reflected possibilities for significant price movement. This means traders positioning for either direction might eventually be proven right, depending on how the market resolves from its current state. Related: Top Analyst’s Confident Take: ADA and XRP at $10? ‘Fine With Me’ This analysis arrives as the cryptocurrency market remains in a state of consolidation, lacking a clear directional trend for several months. Notably, apart from Bitcoin, most crypto assets failed to reach their previous all-time highs during the market’s last major upward phase. That development led many analysts to believe significant upside potential remains untapped across the altcoin sector. Overall, the market reflects a mid-trend consolidation picture. The total crypto market capitalization currently sits near $2.68 trillion, according to TradingView data. It retraced to this level after peaking near $3.73 trillion in December 2024 and has since found support around the notable $2.6 trillion region. This current crypto market status leaves many traders primarily in observation mode. They appear to wait for clearer signals indicating whether the market will resume an upward trend or break below current support levels.

Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, recently caught attention following positive growth metrics detailed in its February monthly attestation report. That report showed RLUSD’s market cap reached approximately $170 million. This figure reportedly surpassed internal projections at the crypto custodian Standard Custody, prompting its CEO to forecast that RLUSD could potentially become a top 5 stablecoin by market cap by the end of 2025. Analysts now assess the factors supporting this potential growth trajectory. Several elements could contribute to RLUSD’s expansion, according to analysis shared by the Standard Custody CEO. The stablecoin is now available on additional exchanges, citing LMAX Group as one example providing wider accessibility. Related: RLUSD Takes Off on XRP Ledger as USDT Faces Europe Delistings RLUSD has also found utility within Decentralized Finance (DeFi) liquidity pools. Also, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) like DIVA Donate and Mercy Corps Ventures reportedly use the stablecoin to streamline their charitable giving operations, demonstrating real-world adoption. For RLUSD to break into the top 5 stablecoin rankings by the end of 2025, it faces a significant climb. It would need to surpass the market capitalization of the current fifth-ranked stablecoin, FDUSD. At the time of writing, FDUSD’s market cap stood around $2.59 billion, based on CoinMarketCap data. RLUSD, meanwhile, ranked 12th with a market cap near $194 million. This difference implies RLUSD requires roughly 13-fold growth over the next nine months to overtake FDUSD’s current size (assuming FDUSD itself experiences no major growth). The dominant stablecoins USDT, USDC, DAI, and USDe currently occupy the top four positions. Related: Federal Reserve Explores Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin for FedNow Payment System RLUSD operates as a US dollar-pegged stablecoin supported by both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains. According to Ripple, it is fully backed by reserves of cash and cash equivalents, making each RLUSD token redeemable 1:1 for US dollars through approved channels. Its potential ascent into the top tier depends heavily on continued adoption, expanding use cases, and favorable market conditions.

Pump.fun, a platform central to Solana’s meme coin boom last year, continues to see sharp declines in protocol fee revenue and overall trading volume. Current data reveals a stark difference from its peak activity earlier in 2025. As of March 28, Pump.fun’s protocol fee revenue stands at $1.2 million, according to data from DefiLlama. This is a significant drop from January, when the revenue was $7.07 million. Specifically, this marks an 83% decline from the all-time high in just three months. While this marks a slight improvement from a low near $671k reported just last week, the steep decline highlights a significant contraction in user activity. The platform now faces considerable loss in both revenue and market presence within the Solana meme coin ecosystem.

As of Friday, the daily volume stood at $97.21 million, compared to $390.3 million in January. This marks a more than 75% decrease from its peak. The decline in Pump.fun’s revenue and trading volume is part of a broader slowdown in the meme coin market, which had seen massive growth in 2024. A report by Binance revealed that meme coins were the top-performing crypto sub-sector in 2024, with average gains of over 212%. Solana became the go-to blockchain for meme coin trading, and Pump.fun played a key role. In 2024, Pump.fun facilitated the launch of over 5.7 million new meme coin projects and generated more than $400 million in revenue.

Many now view the sector, initially popular for perceived “fair launch” opportunities, as increasingly fraught with fraud and manipulation risks. Adding to the platform’s woes, Pump.fun itself was recently compromised. On February 26, the platform’s official Pump.fun X account was hacked and used to promote fraudulent tokens, including a fake governance token named PUMP. Related: Pump.fun Hit With Class Action Lawsuit, Accused of Securities Violations Separately, Pump.fun became the target of investor lawsuits starting in January. One suit alleges the platform’s easy token launch process facilitated the creation and promotion of unregistered securities, claiming influencers were used misleadingly, resulting in investor losses. That suit seeks rescission of token purchases, damages, and attorney’s fees. This followed a similar earlier lawsuit which, in addition to alleged securities law violations, also accused Pump.fun of allowing the promotion of inappropriate content via its platform.
