Pi Network (PI) surged more than 10% today, hitting a multi-month high near $0.199. The rally comes as the ecosystem enters a critical maturation month, with the community anticipating the official launch of the Pi Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on March 12 and the final transition to Protocol v20.2. While technical indicators suggest a bullish breakout, a massive 20.8 million token unlock scheduled for Saturday remains a key volatility risk for traders eyeing the $0.22 level.

Monero (XMR) climbed over 5.6% in the last 24 hours, hitting a daily high of $369.73. While the broader market saw a modest recovery, led by Bitcoin’s 1.85% move, XMR emerged as a standout performer. This outperformance is fueled by a combination of a risk-on sector rotation into privacy assets and mounting safe-haven demand amidst intensifying global financial surveillance.

Dogecoin is trading around $0.09738 after a 4.71% daily rise, but selling pressure still dominates below the $0.10 mark. On‑chain data highlight growing whale‑led sell orders between $0.089 and $0.093, while the RSI near 34 and trading below the Parabolic SAR indicate a persistent downtrend. Market participants are watching $0.103 as overhead resistance and $0.079 as the next important support area.

Bitcoin fell to $63,030 after US-Israel strikes on Iran but then rallied intraday to $74,000 on Mar. 4, leaving price hovering around $73,613 with a roughly 7.7% daily gain. On-chain and derivatives data from Glassnode highlight $70,000 as a key weekly resistance-turned-support test, with a broader $60,000–$69,000 zone acting as the main demand area if the bounce fails. Options positioning clusters negative gamma and call premium at $75,000, making that strike a major liquidity magnet that still requires stronger spot and ETF inflows to sustain any move higher.

Bitcoin has pushed above $70,000 and briefly reclaimed $73,000, but price action is now testing a dense resistance band between $71,800 and $73,000 that has repeatedly halted rallies. Technical analysts warn that failure to close above $73,500 and ultimately $74,500 could validate a large Head and Shoulders reversal pattern with downside projections toward the $50,000 area, even as ETF inflows and mixed macro sentiment pull the market in opposing directions.

On March 5, 2026, analyst Benjamin Cowen said Bitcoin may stage a short-term advance into March if its historical yearly pattern repeats. He noted that BTC has often dropped in January and February, rebounded in March, and then softened in April and May. Cowen cautioned that such March strength has typically produced only a lower high before further downside, highlighting resistance near $74,000–$75,000 and a bear market resistance band around $85,000.
