Solana's price dropped from above $90 and moved below $88, $85 and $82, reaching a low near $80.29. SOL is now trading under $85 and the 100-hour simple moving average, with resistance seen around $85, $87.20 and $88.80. If buyers can hold the $82 and $80 support zones, the price could attempt a recovery toward $95 or even $102.

Bitcoin hovered around $67,536.61 while major crypto-related equities, including miners and corporate holders, posted notable declines. At the same time, 77% of companies with Bitcoin treasuries were reported to be underwater on their holdings, a situation last seen in May 2022, even as spot ETFs saw about $348.9 million in net outflows. Public firms still control roughly 1.138 million BTC, led by Strategy with around 720,737 BTC, underscoring that large institutional balances remain despite market volatility.

Crypto analyst PlanB reiterates a bullish forecast for Bitcoin in the 2024–2028 halving cycle, suggesting the asset could average around $500,000 based on his Stock-to-Flow model, with a broad range between $250,000 and $1,000,000. Other analysts project a more modest target of $200,000–$250,000 by 2026–2027 and caution that such models are better for long-term context than for pinpointing exact tops. In the near term, Bitcoin remains volatile, trading around $67,300 after recently approaching $74,000 amid shifting ETF inflows and broader macro uncertainty.

XRP extended its decline below $1.3650 and $1.3550 and is now trading under $1.3620 and the 100-hour Simple Moving Average while it consolidates recent losses.

On the downside, support is seen around $1.3365 and $1.3220, and a break below these zones could open the way toward $1.3120 and potentially $1.30.

At the start of the week, gold extended losses and briefly dropped as much as 3% before spot prices traded 1.5% lower at $5,093.39 an ounce, while the U.S. dollar strengthened and oil climbed toward $120 a barrel. Other precious metals, including silver at $82.66 an ounce, also declined as investors weighed higher energy costs, potential delays to interest-rate cuts, and risks from the intensifying conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran in the Persian Gulf.

On March 8, XRP’s on-chain burn activity climbed to about 519 tokens destroyed as fees over 24 hours, up roughly 27.82% alongside higher network usage.

Driven by a near-total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, global energy markets have entered a historic "war premium" rally as WTI and Brent decisively clear the $100 and $110 thresholds for the first time since 2022. This 2026 supply squeeze, which has sidelined 20% of global oil, is fueling extreme volatility and a massive surge in decentralized hedging on platforms like Hyperliquid. While the Trump administration weighs a Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) release to inject liquidity and fill price gaps near $90, technical indicators remain parabolic with price targets eyeing $130. Investors are now pivoting to upcoming US CPI data and EIA reports to determine if the current vertical momentum will face a mean reversion or continue its record-breaking ascent.

Strategy signaled another prospective Bitcoin acquisition after Michael Saylor posted "The Second Century Begins" on X alongside the firm's BTC accumulation chart while Bitcoin traded near $67,000. The company's most recently disclosed buy in late February added 3,015 BTC for over $204 million, lifting its total stash to 720,737 BTC and a treasury value of about $48 billion despite trading below its roughly $75,985 average cost per coin. Even as Strategy's shares now hover slightly under the basic net asset value of its Bitcoin reserves and industry peers face declining premiums, the firm continues to use debt and equity financing to grow its holdings rather than pursuing mergers.
