Oracle Corp (ORCL) closed the session on March 11, 2026, with a massive 9.18% gain, ending at $163.12. The rally marks a critical turning point for the software giant, which had been down roughly 15% year-to-date prior to this move. Investors flooded back into the stock following a fiscal Q3 earnings report that not only beat expectations but also addressed the market’s primary fear: that Oracle’s aggressive AI build-out would bury the company in debt.

Ethereum has extended its rebound above $2,000 and is now trading over $2,020 and the 100-hour Simple Moving Average, but upside momentum is stalling below the $2,080 resistance area. The price recently moved past $1,965 and briefly pierced $2,050 before sellers defended the $2,090 region, leaving ETH vulnerable to another pullback if it cannot break $2,080. Key downside levels now sit around $2,000, $1,980 and $1,910, while bulls are eyeing $2,135 and $2,150 as the next hurdles that could reopen the path toward $2,200–$2,220.

Bitcoin's rebound above $68,500 has stalled below the $70,500 resistance area, with price currently holding over $68,650 and the 100-hour simple moving average. A declining channel or potential bullish flag is forming near $68,400 support, and a failure to clear $70,500 could trigger renewed downside toward $68,000 or lower. Technical signals show the MACD in bearish territory and the RSI under 50, suggesting buyers face increasing pressure at higher levels.

Patrick Witt, executive director of the President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, argued in a Wednesday X post that GENIUS Act-compliant stablecoins could channel new global capital into the U.S. banking system by meeting overseas demand for dollar-based tokens. His comments come as traditional banking groups warn that yield-bearing stablecoins may drain deposits and as disagreements over stablecoin rewards continue to stall broader crypto market structure legislation, including the Clarity Act.

Metaplanet has created two wholly owned subsidiaries, Metaplanet Ventures and Metaplanet Asset Management, and approved these moves at a board meeting, according to CEO Simon Gerovich. The firm plans to deploy ¥4 billion over the next few years into bitcoin-focused infrastructure in Japan and will invest ¥400 million in yen stablecoin issuer JPYC as the VC arm's first deal.

On 11 March, Bitcoin climbed back above $71.7K and, after rebounding from the $60K region, began outperforming both Gold and the S&P 500. Since the 24 February dip, BTC has gained about 13.2%, while Gold rose roughly 1.6% and the S&P 500 edged lower, with the BTC/Gold chart hinting that the current cycle bottom may have taken around 14 months to form. This pattern, alongside a monthly RSI rebound from a key support zone, points to a potential renewed capital rotation from traditional markets into Bitcoin.

Security firm Nominis reports that roughly $50 million in crypto was stolen industrywide in February, sharply below January’s $385 million and far less than the $300 million in unauthorized withdrawals Bybit says it blocked in last year’s final quarter. Researchers note that social engineering and phishing, rather than protocol exploits, caused most of February’s damage, including an estimated $30 million loss at Solana-based Step Finance, even as overall hack volumes declined.

On March 9, Binance.US appointed compliance lawyer Stephen Gregory as its new CEO, succeeding Norman Reed, who moved into an advisory role. The exchange, which previously faced a Securities and Exchange Commission lawsuit that was dismissed with prejudice in May, signaled plans to grow its staking products and add services linked to decentralized finance and tokenized assets. Over the past year, the firm also restored U.S. dollar deposits and withdrawals and introduced new rewards, staking and referral offerings.
