Calculate Your Crypto's Future Value

Bitcoin is showing early signs of renewed demand after a February stretch marked by heavy selling across both retail and institutional venues, even as the broader macro backdrop remains unsupportive for risk assets. On-chain and ETF flow data now point to a market that is stabilizing, though not yet fully out of danger. That shift is notable because it is unfolding against a difficult backdrop. As CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost put it, “Despite escalating tensions in Iran, Bitcoin continues to show a degree of resilience, particularly compared to equities and commodities, which are increasingly displaying toppish market structures. This is all the more notable given that the upcoming FOMC meeting is unlikely to deliver any rate cuts.” The market, in other words, is improving in spite of macro rather than because of it. Darkfost noted that current probabilities imply roughly a 99% chance of no change from the Federal Reserve, leaving traders focused less on an immediate policy move and more on forward guidance, especially whether officials reopen the door to future hikes.

According to Darkfost, the 30-day moving average volume delta on Binance and Coinbase has shifted back toward buyers after plunging deeply negative in mid-February. On Feb. 16, the metric stood at -$145 million on Binance and -$88 million on Coinbase, a sign that “both retail and institutional participants were largely aligned on the sell side.” Today, those averages have moved back into positive territory at around +$21 million and +$14 million. It is still a modest move. But compared with the conditions seen a month ago, it marks a clear change in tone. Why $79,962 Remains The Key Resistance For Bitcoin ETF flow data presented by CryptoQuant contributor Axel Adler Jr. tells a similar story, though with an important caveat. Over the past month, US spot bitcoin ETF flows swung from capitulation to recovery. From Feb. 15 to 24, the 7-day average net flow remained negative, bottoming at -1,883 BTC per day on Feb. 18. The reversal began on Feb. 25, when flows recovered to +2,305 BTC per day, before peaking at +3,387 BTC per day on March 2. The latest reading has cooled to +1,472 BTC per day, while total ETF holdings rose from 1,264,982 BTC to 1,291,618 BTC over the month, an increase of 26,636 BTC.

Even after bitcoin rebounded from $63,756 on Feb. 24 to $74,788, spot still trades $5,174, or 6.5%, below the aggregate ETF cohort’s cost basis. That leaves a large pocket of holders in unrealized loss and creates the risk that any move toward $80,000 draws out supply from investors looking to exit near breakeven. For now, both analysts are describing the same market: selling pressure has eased, buyer activity has returned, and institutional demand is no longer deteriorating. But confirmation still matters. At press time, Bitcoin traded at $74,063. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP has reclaimed the $1.50 level after several months of volatile and largely subdued price action, signaling renewed bullish activity in the market. The move marks one of the strongest short-term recoveries for the asset in recent weeks, as buyers return and traders begin reassessing XRP’s market structure after an extended consolidation phase. Related Reading: XRP Supply Tightens On Binance As Scarcity Index Signals Limited Liquidity While price momentum has improved, new on-chain data suggests that important shifts are also occurring in the supply dynamics on major exchanges. Recent data tracking XRP reserves on Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading liquidity, indicates a notable increase in the amount of XRP held on the platform. According to the latest figures, XRP is currently trading near $1.50, while the total reserves of the asset on Binance have climbed to approximately 2.782 billion XRP. This represents the highest level of exchange reserves since November, marking a clear reversal from the steady decline observed over the previous months. Historically, changes in exchange reserves can provide insight into evolving market behavior. When reserves rise, it often signals that more coins are being moved onto trading platforms, increasing the supply available for transactions in the spot market. For analysts, this shift may indicate that market participants are repositioning as XRP begins to regain bullish momentum. XRP Exchange Reserves Rebound as Market Repositions According to CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain, XRP’s exchange supply dynamics have shifted noticeably in recent months. The data shows that XRP reserves on Binance had been gradually declining since late last year, falling from levels above 2.8 billion XRP to approximately 2.55 billion XRP in February. A decline in exchange reserves is often interpreted as a sign that investors are withdrawing coins from trading platforms and moving them to private wallets or cold storage. This behavior typically reflects accumulation strategies or a reduced intention to sell in the spot market, as holders prefer to store assets off-exchange for longer periods. However, the recent trend has reversed. Over the past several weeks, XRP reserves on Binance have rebounded to around 2.78 billion XRP, marking the highest level recorded since November. The increase suggests that more coins are once again flowing onto the exchange. From a structural perspective, rising exchange reserves can indicate growing tradable supply in the spot market, as a larger pool of tokens becomes available for immediate transactions. That said, higher reserves do not automatically translate into immediate selling pressure. In many cases, such inflows can also reflect increased trading activity or strategic positioning, as investors move funds to exchanges in preparation for potential volatility or upcoming market opportunities.

On the 3-day timeframe, XRP is currently trading around $1.51, following a sharp selloff earlier this year that pushed the price toward the $1.10–$1.20 region, where buyers stepped in aggressively. The chart highlights a clear transition from a bullish structure in mid-2025 to a sustained downtrend, with XRP consistently trading below the 50-, 100-, and 200-period moving averages. This alignment of moving averages typically reflects a broader bearish market structure, where rallies tend to encounter resistance as price approaches these dynamic levels.

Since then, XRP has started to grind higher, attempting to reclaim the $1.50 zone, which now acts as an important short-term resistance level. Volume activity during the rebound remains moderate, indicating that while buyers are returning, the recovery is still developing rather than explosive. If XRP manages to hold above the $1.50 level, the next resistance zones may appear near $1.70 and $2.00, where previous consolidation and moving averages converge.
