Dogecoin (DOGE) Slips After Failure, Can Bulls Contain More Downside?
Dogecoin started a fresh decline below the $0.0980 zone against the US Dollar. DOGE is now consolidating losses and might face hurdles near $0.0950 and $0.0980. DOGE price started a fresh decline below the $0.0965 level. The price is trading below the $0.0965 level and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.0950 on the hourly chart of the DOGE/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The price could extend losses if it stays below $0.0950 and $0.0980. Dogecoin Price At Risk of More Downside Dogecoin price started a fresh decline after it closed below $0.0980, like Bitcoin and Ethereum . DOGE declined below the $0.0965 and $0.0950 support levels. The price even traded below $0.0925. A low was formed near $0.0917, and the price is now showing bearish signs.

BTQ Unveils First Bitcoin Upgrade Testnet Designed To Thwart Quantum Attacks
BTQ Technologies moved a key Bitcoin (BTC) security proposal from theory to practice on Thursday, releasing Bitcoin Quantum testnet v0.3.0 with the first working implementation of Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 360 (BIP 360). The upgrade—aimed at making Bitcoin transactions resistant to future quantum-computing attacks—gives developers, miners, and researchers a live environment to test how quantum-resistant transactions would function on a running network. How Bitcoin Could Shield Keys From Quantum Attacks BIP 360, also known as Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR), was merged into Bitcoin’s official BIP repository earlier this year but remains a draft proposal within the broader Bitcoin ecosystem. BTQ’s testnet release delivers the first functional implementation of that proposal, enabling participants to create, fund, sign, and spend P2MR transactions and observe the full lifecycle from mempool acceptance through broadcast and confirmation. Related Reading: Sen. Lummis Predicts Crypto Market Structure Markup In April, Senate Passage By Year-End The importance of BIP 360 stems from a long‑term cryptographic risk: in a future where quantum computers reach sufficient capability, exposed public keys on-chain—an outcome of Taproot’s key-path spend design—could be vulnerable to attacks leveraging Shor’s algorithm. Taproot, activated on Bitcoin back in 2021, underpins many advanced features and scaling efforts for the protocol, but its reliance on on-chain public keys creates a potential attack surface in a quantum-enabled world. P2MR addresses this by committing directly to the Merkle root of a script tree rather than relying on an internal key or tweak, preserving Taproot’s scripting flexibility while removing the key-path mechanism that could expose public keys. Devs Can Now Test Quantum‑Safe BTC Transactions BTQ’s Bitcoin Quantum testnet v0.3.0 implements full P2MR consensus rules, including SegWit version 2 outputs with bc1z (bech32m) address encoding, Merkle root commitment verification, and control block validation. The release also enables all five Dilithium post‑quantum signature opcodes within the P2MR tapscript context, providing real quantum-resistant signature verification inside the script tree. To support developer workflows, BTQ included end-to-end command-line wallet tooling and full RPC wallet support so users can perform the complete P2MR transaction flow on testnet. BTQ And CEO’s Warnings Olivier Roussy Newton, BTQ’s CEO and chairman, framed the launch as a practical advance for industry preparedness. “BIP 360 represents the Bitcoin community’s most significant step toward quantum resistance, and we’ve turned it from a proposal into running code,” he said. The company further said the testnet’s live validation—covering address creation, funding, transaction construction, signing, mempool acceptance, broadcast, and confirmation—gives implementers and auditors the chance to observe how P2MR operates end to end. It also signaled that BIP 360’s implementation is network-activated across Bitcoin Quantum’s testing environments, ensuring the feature is available to anyone participating in the testnet.

Every developer, researcher, and institution that wants to understand how quantum-safe Bitcoin actually works now has a live network to test against. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $69,534, having recorded losses of 3% in the past 24 hours after testing the $76,000 resistance wall earlier this week.

XRP ‘Cheat Sheet’ Places Price Above $10, But When Will This Happen?
XRP’s cheat sheet is pointing to higher levels this year. This cheat sheet is based on a 12-year cycle chart shared by analyst Cryptollica, who also suggests the asset is positioned for a major move higher on the social media platform X. The Relative Strength Index is also now pointing to oversold on the weekly timeframe, so the question is no longer whether the token can break above double-digit territory but when this will happen. A 12-Year Structure That Keeps Repeating The XRP cheat sheet is a projection that shows XRP’s behavior across multiple cycles, showing how XRP has been playing out over the past 12 years. The chart spanning from 2014 to 2026 shows that the altcoin has respected a long-term ascending support line marked by multiple higher lows since 2018. Each touch of this support trendline in past cycles has always led to a strong upward move. The 2020 low, the 2021 low, and the more recent accumulation zones visible in 2023 and 2025 all found support near the same rising trendline. At the same time, a descending resistance line cuts across previous peaks, except for the 2025 peak, when it broke above it. Interestingly, this is not the first time the altcoin has broken out of a similar triangle structure. As seen on the left side of the chart, price action between 2014 and 2017 formed a tight compression pattern, with lower highs pressing against a gradually rising base. That structure eventually resolved with a breakout in 2017, which carried into the 2018 peak. Now, XRP’s price action since 2025 has been playing out similarly to how it happened in 2018, although now on a larger and more drawn-out scale. Breakout To Double Digits According to the analysis, the weekly RSI recently dropped to 29, which is a huge oversold condition. Notably, this is the same zone from which XRP launched every significant upward move in its trading history. The last time its monthly RSI dropped to comparable lows was during the 2022 bear market, when the price reached a cycle bottom of $0.2910. That RSI reading was the floor, and XRP recorded only higher lows from that point forward. If history is any indicator, then XRP is expected to keep on registering higher lows on the weekly timeframe, which, in turn, would translate to increasingly higher price levels in the coming weeks and months. Looking at the cheat sheet above, the chart’s upper channel boundary, when projected from the 2017/2018 peak, puts the cryptocurrency finally breaching the $10 price level. Interestingly, the idea of XRP moving above $10 is not isolated to a single chart. It continues to show up across multiple long-term theses with different timelines. Some projections place the altcoin in the $15 to $30 range under favorable conditions like regulatory clarity. More conservative voices place near-term ceilings considerably lower. For instance, crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO predicted that XRP will peak at $8.5 between 2026 and 2027.

Chainlink Price Risks $9 Breakdown as Bear Flag Pattern Emerges
The Chainlink price could lose $9 support and sellers attempt to complete the bear flag pattern amid geopolitical tension. The Chainlink reserve expanded its holdings with a fresh purchase of over 121,000 LINK. Derivative market data shows that the open interest tied to LINK futures contracts has plunged $400 million, suggesting a weak speculative force in price. The Chainlink price dropped 1.95% during Thursday market hours to exchange hands at $8.89. This downtick followed a hawkish policy update from the U.S. Federal Reserve on March 18th and the escalating geopolitical tension in the middle east. However, the LINK price seeks support at $9 floor as Chainlink reserve completed another round of accumulation to bolster the asset’s long-term value. Can LINK hold the $9 floor? LINK Faces Selling Pressure as Futures Market Cools Off In the last three days, the Chainlink price plunged from $10 to $8.89 current trading value accounting for 11.37% drop. Consequently, the asset’s market cap dropped to $6.47 billion. Along with price pullback, the derivative market trading also witnessed a notable slowdown. According to Coinglass data, the open interest associated with LINK’s futures contracts recorded a sharp dip to $459 to $400, projecting a 12% drop in the last 3 days. The derivatives market for Chainlink’s native token (LINK) has seen less activity over the past few sessions, coinciding with downward pressure on its spot price. Data tracked by Coinglass indicates that open interest in LINK perpetual futures contracts has dropped from about $459 million to around $400 million, or about a 12% contraction over the past three days. The initial drop in OI is likely triggered due to long liquidation of leverage traders amid the Federal Reserve decision to keep interest rates steady However, if the decline continues further it would suggest the traders are withdrawing from Link exposure cautious which also reduces the speculative force in price. At the same time, the official Chainlink Reserve has kept up its steady token purchases. The latest addition saw 121,315.69 LINK, which is worth over $1.1 million at current market rates. This brings the aggregate reserves of this reserve to a total value of 2.66 million LINK tokens, amounting to $24.3 million in total estimated value. The average acquisition cost for the accumulated supply is worth $13.81 per token. The reserve mechanism is based on transforming revenue streams (generated both from enterprise integrations of Chainlink’s oracle services off-chain and on-chain usage fees) into holdings of LINK. These periodic inflows are made to a transparent, on-chain transfer to a specified smart contract address, ensuring that the network development continues without external token sales or emissions. Chainlink Price to Exit Month-long Recovery With this Breakdown Over the past six weeks, the Chainlink price has witnessed a slow yet steady recovery within the two rising trendlines. This upswing followed a sharp decline in January 2026, signaling the formation of an inverted flag—a classic bearish continuation pattern. The chart setup is commonly spotted in an established downtrend as it offers sellers a temporary breather to recoup its selling pressure. If the pattern holds true, the sellers may flip the flag support to a potential resistance and drive an extended correction to $7. LINK/USDT -1d Chart On the contrary, if the coin price managed to give a bullish breakout from flag resistance, the buyers could restore their grip over this asset and drive a sustainable recovery above the $10 ceiling.
