Technical Analysis

As global markets face an escalating $150 oil threat and a widening conflict in the Middle East, this week’s earnings from Micron, Alibaba, and Strive serve as a critical reality check for the AI and digital asset trades. Discover the key price levels and infrastructure milestones to watch as corporate giants attempt to navigate a perfect storm of energy-driven inflation and the radical evolution of Bitcoin Treasury companies.

Bitcoin has extended its rebound above the $72,000 area and is now trading over $71,800 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. With a bullish trend line supporting the BTC/USD pair near $71,500, a break of the $73,000–$74,000 resistance region could open the way for a move toward $75,000, while failure there risks a pullback toward $72,000 and possibly $70,000.

RIVER climbed 11% over the past day as perpetual Futures open interest increased by $31 million to $196 million, signaling stronger speculative activity. While funding turned positive and the A/D indicator improved from -24.11 million RIVER to -22.58 million RIVER since 9 March, traders on Binance and OKX now show bearish leanings, keeping downside risk in play.

Dogecoin climbed about 2% to $0.096 over the last 24 hours, triggering $470,140 in liquidations equal to 4,897,291 DOGE from mostly short positions. After rebounding from a March 8 low of $0.086 and touching $0.101 on March 13, the meme coin is now consolidating in a narrow range around $0.094 to $0.097, with traders watching resistance near $0.12 and support around $0.09. Possible future moves include a push toward $0.16 on a decisive break above $0.12 or a slide toward $0.0799 if the $0.09 floor fails, while an upcoming payments feature on X is also being monitored as a potential catalyst.

MYX Finance's MYX token has climbed more than 24% in the last 24 hours, extending its weekly advance to 48%, while still sitting over 99% below its former $3.765 billion market cap peak. Derivatives data show rising open interest, positive funding, and notable short liquidations as the price breaks out of a consolidation range and approaches resistance near $0.50.

Santiment data shows Bitcoin wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC lifted their share of the coin's total supply to 68% while price hovered near $71,000. Large holders resumed net buying after offloading 65% of coins accumulated between February 23 and March 3, a move that followed Bitcoin's brief spike to $74,000. Analysts now weigh this whale accumulation against elevated retail participation and roughly $767 million of US spot Bitcoin ETF inflows during the first five-day streak of 2026.

PEPE is trading near $0.00000333–$0.00000334, with sellers capping price below resistance around $0.00000336–$0.00000338 while buyers defend support in the $0.00000327–$0.00000334 area. Analyst Pepe Whale highlights a resistance band at $0.0000048–$0.0000050, where a daily close above $0.0000050 could open a path toward $0.0000085–$0.0000120, while a loss of support near $0.0000038 may expose the token to downside toward $0.0000026.

Bitcoin has rebounded from the $60,000 area and is now trading around $71,000 to $72,000, approaching a key resistance band between $73,000 and $75,000. On the daily chart it remains below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages and inside a broader descending structure, while on-chain data indicates larger players are still more active than retail traders. The $60,000 to $62,000 zone continues to act as critical support, with the $75,000 to $80,000 region marking the main overhead barrier.

Bitcoin's Coinbase Premium Gap has turned positive after nearly 10 weeks of negative readings that aligned with a slide from about $95,000 to below $65,000 in February, signaling a tentative pickup in US spot demand. The metric, which compares Bitcoin prices on Coinbase to offshore exchanges like Binance, has rebounded from a low of -175 on February 2 to +25.4, while some analysts still warn the price could drop toward $50,000 based on its 300-week EMA pattern. This shift suggests US investors may be slowly accumulating again, even as technical signals leave room for further downside before a clear market bottom is formed.

As of March 15, 2026, Chainlink's LINK token is consolidating around $9.27 while social engagement has surged by nearly 500%. Technical signals on LINK/USD and LINK/BTC pairs, including bullish divergences and a trendline breakout, align with growing institutional integrations such as Fidelity and SWIFT using Chainlink infrastructure. This combination points to a potential accumulation phase even as price action remains relatively flat.
