In early March 2026, Bitcoin rallied to about $74,000 amid heightened geopolitical tensions before dropping below the key $70,000 level. Analyst Ali Martinez, using liquidation heatmap data, highlights around $54,000 as a critical zone where more than $70 million in BTC long positions could be wiped out, potentially triggering a long squeeze. With BTC now near $67,830 and down over 4% in 24 hours, traders are watching whether this realized-price region will act as support over the coming months.

On February 27, on-chain data highlighted a withdrawal of about 44 million XRP from whale wallets on Binance, following an earlier 30 million XRP outflow on February 6. The moves, flagged via the Multi Exchanges Daily Whales Netflow metric, point to sustained negative netflows, which can imply reduced selling pressure and potential accumulation. With XRP trading around $1.37 after a 2.9% daily decline, analysts note that persistent demand alongside falling exchange supply could support a bullish price trajectory.

According to CryptoOnchain via CryptoQuant QuickTake, TRC-20 USDT balances on Binance climbed from about $385 million on December 24 to roughly $5.2 billion by February 21. The analyst said the jump coincided with Bitcoin and Ethereum testing key supports, implying liquidity rotation and positioning. Bitcoin was around $67,971 at the time of writing.

At the beginning of February, Bitcoin's price slid to its lowest level since Donald Trump was elected US president in November 2024, a move linked to heavy leverage in the BTC market. Over the past week, on-chain data shows a substantial deleveraging on Binance, with the Estimated Leverage Ratio falling by about 28% from roughly 0.1980 to 0.1414. Bitcoin now trades near $67,950, up almost 2% in 24 hours but still slightly lower on the weekly chart, as analysts say the market needs fresh spot demand to rebuild a durable uptrend.

Bitcoin's price has hovered near $68,000 resistance in recent days, trading around $67,960 with no notable 24-hour change. Whales recently realized more than $208 million in profits, the seventh such spike in the past two years. This pattern has often preceded short-term turbulence and, after supply absorption, local bottoms or stabilization.

On X, analyst Ali Martinez said the CVDD on-chain metric, which has flagged BTC lows since 2012, currently reads $45,225. He views it as a potential floor if broader conditions worsen; meanwhile, BTC hovers near $70,000 after a ~2% daily rise.

Over the past week, Bitcoin faced heavy selling, and according to data, roughly $1 trillion has exited the crypto market since mid-January. In a CryptoQuant Quicktake, analyst CryptoOnchain reported Bitcoin's Taker Buy Ratio (14-day MA) on Binance fell to 0.48, the lowest since October 2025; the slide aligned with a drop to about $61,000 before BTC rebounded above $70,000 on Friday to roughly $70,263, up over 11% in 24 hours.

On Friday, February 6, Santiment highlighted rising whale and ledger activity as XRP rebounded, briefly reclaiming $1.5 after a decline to $1.16, the lowest since November 2024. The firm reported 1,389 $100,000 transactions and 78,727 unique addresses in one 8-hour candle. As of writing, XRP is around $1.46, up almost 25% in 24 hours but still roughly over 16% lower week-on-week.

Ethereum slid beneath $2,500 on Thursday, January 29, after losing nearly 20% in one week. The token hovers near the $2,475 cushion, and on-chain data highlights $2,623, $2,475, and $1,881 as key supports while ETH trades around $2,410.
