Although Bitcoin (BTC) managed to recover most of its losses over the weekend after tumbling as low as $78,258 on February 28, the premier cryptocurrency has created a massive new Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) gap, raising concerns that the digital asset may witness another pullback to the low $80,000 level. Bitcoin Not Out Of The Woods Yet According to an X post by crypto analyst Rekt Capital, BTC filled two key CME gaps over the weekend – one between $78,000 and $80,700, and another between $92,800 and $94,000. The wide range of prices reflects the extreme volatility witnessed by the top cryptocurrency over the weekend. As a result of this volatile price action, BTC has now created a new, massive CME gap between $84,650 and $93,300. Rekt Capital added that while the bottom may have been reached at $78,258 during the downside deviation, it does not necessarily mean that BTC won’t revisit that price level. For the uninitiated, a Bitcoin CME gap is the price difference between Bitcoin’s closing price on the CME futures market and its opening price the next day, created because the CME closes over the weekend while the spot market continues to trade. Past data indicates that CME gaps often work as price magnets. That said, even if BTC hits the lower end of the latest CME gap at $84,650, it would still constitute a higher low relative to Friday’s low of $78,258. Rekt Capital concluded by saying that as long as BTC holds the macro support at $93,500, “any short-term downside volatility will only present opportunities.” Fellow crypto trader Merlijn The Trader remarked that “volatility is about to go parabolic” following the creation of the new massive CME gap. According to data from Coinglass, heightened price volatility has already led to liquidations worth over $900 million in the past 24 hours. Another crypto analyst, Will, noted that the general sentiment around BTC is too euphoric for a retest of a previous accumulation range. The analyst added that they are eyeing the mid $70,000 range to accumulate BTC. Analyst Suggests More Downside For BTC While BTC currently trades close to the $90,000 level, analysts believe that the top digital currency by market cap could slip to $74,700. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently highlighted that historically, BTC tends to rebound from long-term support levels, which currently sit in the mid $70,000 range. In related news, Coinbase analysts remarked that BTC’s price is struggling due to the absence of any major near-term positive catalysts. In particular, the recent Bybit hack and heightened macroeconomic uncertainties are likely contributing to BTC’s woes. On a positive note, spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are finally starting to see net inflows once again. At press time, BTC is trading at $90,170, down 1.5% in the past 24 hours.

The price is trading below $2,250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a new bearish trend line forming with resistance at $2,160 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).

The recent announcement of a U.S. “Crypto Strategic Reserve” has ignited a significant shift in the cryptocurrency market, as Bitcoin challenges its prior dominance. The move has generated both excitement
The post Ripple Lawsuit News: Pro-XRP Lawyer John Deaton Says ‘Trump Has To Drop’ The Case appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News On March 3, 2025, President Donald Trump announced the creation of a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve. This reserve will include major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). Following the announcement, XRP’s value surged from $2.23 to $2.99. But can the ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could affect everything. Fox Business’ Charles Gasparino pointed out that the case between Ripple and the SEC has big consequences for the future of XRP and the U.S. economy. He believes that if former President Donald Trump doesn’t act soon and the SEC continues its case against Ripple, it could hurt American investments in cryptocurrencies. However, Crypto Law founder and attorney John Deaton pointed out something interesting: the Ripple lawsuit was filed just before the end of Trump’s first term, under the leadership of SEC Chairman Jay Clayton. Now, four years later, XRP has a chance to be a part of a major global cryptocurrency reserve. Deaton argues that if Trump does not intervene and the case continues, the U.S. could lose out on big opportunities in the growing crypto market. “He has to drop it,” Deaton said. What’s Next for XRP? The future of XRP and Ripple largely depends on how the case with the SEC plays out. If Ripple can resolve the issue, XRP could become a major part of the digital currency world. As Deaton said, this is a critical moment for the entire crypto industry, not just Ripple. How the SEC case is handled will impact not only XRP but also the future of cryptocurrency in the U.S. and beyond. In conclusion, while the road ahead for Ripple and XRP is still uncertain, one thing is clear: the decisions made in this case could shape the future of cryptocurrency, with XRP playing a key role in the new world of digital finance.

Ether (ETH) is testing levels not seen since November 2023, as the market continues to be hit by volatility resulting from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war threat. ETH is down 15% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinDesk Indices data , dragging down the CoinDesk 20 , a measure of the largest digital assets, which is down 16%. Ether's decline over the past three months has been driven by bearish investor sentiment, reflected in its underperformance relative to BTC and weak institutional demand, alongside macro headwinds like trade war fears, inflation concerns, and stock market weakness, which have dampened risk appetite. CoinGlass data shows that nearly $165 million in ETH long positions have been liquidated in the last 12 hours. Bettors on Polymarket are giving a 76% chance of ether hitting $1900 by the end of the month. Ether ETF outflow was deep in the red last week, according to data from SoSoValue, coming it at -$335 million.
