XRP remains under selling pressure after weeks of trading below $1.50, while a less-watched risk-adjusted metric has shifted higher. Arab Chain data shows XRP's Sharpe Ratio has turned positive at 0.0267 alongside a 30-day average return of 0.00063, even as spot price trades around $1.3365. The setup highlights a divergence between improving risk-adjusted returns and a chart that is still testing key support levels.

Bitcoin and Ethereum have stayed in a tight range for more than 50 days, but derivatives positioning accelerated in the third week of March. On March 16, combined BTC and ETH perpetual-futures open interest rose to about $30 billion, the highest level since late January. The move included BTC open interest at $23 billion and ETH nearing $16 billion, alongside a weekly surge concentrated on Binance.

An unmarked wallet executed a single $106.98 million ETH purchase recorded this week, standing out as Ethereum consolidates after weeks of selling pressure. Arkham Intelligence said the transaction's buying behavior resembles prior accumulation patterns linked to Bitmine, while noting the address identity is not confirmed. ETH was shown trading at $2,075 on the weekly timeframe, up 1.03% after opening at $2,053 and reaching $2,199 before pulling back.

Ethereum has been hovering around $2,150 as broader crypto volatility keeps momentum fragile, with traders watching whether demand can sustain a rebound. On-chain figures show Binance "Exchange Inflow (Top10)" at about 135,573 ETH, well below prior spikes above one million ETH, suggesting reduced whale deposits to exchanges. ETH also remains below key long-term moving averages, leaving the $2,100–$2,200 zone as a near-term pivot.

Solana (SOL) has fallen back under $90 as broader crypto volatility returns, leaving price action struggling to regain momentum. CryptoQuant data points to a split market: spot flows show renewed large-order accumulation at lower levels, while derivatives metrics suggest distribution and fading leveraged conviction.

XRP has moved back above the $1.50 mark and is trading near $1.51 after weeks of consolidation, with derivatives positioning and liquidations now playing a larger role in price action. CryptoQuant data shows two notable waves of open interest growth on March 13 and March 16, followed by forced liquidations of short positions as XRP pushed through $1.50. While the rebound from the $1.10–$1.20 area has improved sentiment, XRP still trades below key moving averages and faces resistance around $1.70 and $2.00.

Ethereum is attempting to retake the $2,100 region while broader crypto markets show a modest recovery after an extended period of volatility. On-chain data indicates that one wallet accumulated about $61.9 million in ETH overnight and is already up more than $1 million in unrealized gains. The large purchase comes as ETH trades in a consolidation range between roughly $1,900 and $2,150 following a sharp sell-off below $2,000 in early February 2026.

Ethereum is trading around the $2,000–$2,150 band and attempting to reclaim the $2,100 mark after a sharp correction that began in late 2025 and intensified in early 2026. During this fragile recovery, on-chain data from Arkham shows that whale wallet 0x8E3 has amassed about $152.81 million worth of ETH over three days, including a recent $21.59 million buy. Market participants are watching this concentrated accumulation closely, as sustained purchases near key technical levels could affect short-term liquidity and sentiment.

Ethereum is trading just above $2,000 after a sharp drop from over $3,200 to the $1,800 region in February, with price now consolidating between roughly $1,900 and $2,100. On-chain data from CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain shows Ethereum’s Scarcity Index on Binance around 0.67 while ETH trades near $2,050, indicating moderately reduced exchange supply and gradually tightening liquidity. Despite this shift, ETH remains below its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, suggesting broader downward pressure persists even as short-term stability emerges.
