Bitcoin Price Could Visit $43K Before Next Bull Market — Here’s How
For the first time in nearly two months, the Bitcoin price had a sustained run above the psychological $70,000 level over the past week. However, the increased likelihood of potential interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve on Friday, March 20, seems to have elevated market apprehension. Interestingly, an on-chain evaluation suggests that the Bitcoin price was always destined for another round of downside movement — this time below the $50,000 level. Is BTC Price Preparing For Another Leg Down? In a Friday post on the X platform, crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared an on-chain insight into the potential bottom of the BTC price in the current bear cycle. According to the market pundit, the price of Bitcoin appears to be headed to the $43,000 level before starting the next bull cycle. Related Reading: Bitcoin Holds At $69,000— Glassnode Data Shows What To Expect Through Late March This projection is based on the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) pricing bands, which show the different profitability levels of the premier cryptocurrency. These pricing bands also function as dynamic support and resistance levels, as they compare the current market price to the average realized value (average cost basis) of all investors. As shown in the chart above, MVRV pricing bands have proven, in past cycles, to be quite effective in predicting market tops and bottoms. Using the on-chain metric, Martinez has identified the 0.8 MVRV band as the potential bottom of the Bitcoin price in the ongoing bear market. Martinez revealed that over the past decade, the price of BTC has always rebounded from this 0.8 MVRV band, marking the start of a fresh bull cycle. The highlighted chart shows the flagship cryptocurrency bouncing back to a new high after hitting its cycle low — around this band in 2018, 2020, and 2022. According to data from Glassnode, the 0.8 MVRV band currently lies around the $43,647 region, putting the potential bottom of this cycle nearly 40% away from the current price. If history were to repeat itself, this on-chain evaluation suggests that the Bitcoin price could be at risk of further downside in the coming months. It is important to mention that while the 0.8 MVRV band is currently at $43,647, it is liable to change with further movements in price. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $70,477, reflecting a 0.6% increase in the past 24 hours.

XRP may follow Cardano-style surge, but skeptics dispute outlook
An active voice within the XRP community, Digital Outlook, is now betting that XRP gains will actually outperform Cardano’s massive 2020–2021 rally. Using Cardano’s ADA as a case study, he pointed out that a $3,900 bet on the asset grew to more than $310,000 in just a year, and claimed XRP is primed to beat those numbers. He remarked, “I believe what’s coming for XRP is going to make that look small.” In reality, Cardano’s upside was even bigger than he suggested. In April 2020, a $3,900 stake could have bought 203,900 ADA at $0.01913 each. Those holdings would have been worth closer to $632,000 in September 2021, when the token price surged to $3.10. However, since then, the token has pulled back from its highs and is now sitting at around $0.2675. Digital Outlook trusts XRP utility will boost its market value *]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" data-turn-id="request-WEB:b75b670f-4c3c-4d55-9ed8-9403b2b91dc1-0" data-testid="conversation-turn-2" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn="assistant"> Digital Outlook is betting on XRP’s higher returns, convinced its wide range of real-world uses will drive its value higher. The view was summed up as: “Market cap is the FRUIT. Utility is the ROOT. And the roots on this thing run deep.” However, some analysts disagree with this view. X commenter Fatty Catfish noted that, despite its massive market cap, XRP’s “on-chain” utility is much smaller, ranking far down the list in developer activity and trading volume. He argued that the token lacks any real internal value, claiming Ripple Labs essentially offloads its running costs to XRP holders while keeping the actual profits for the company. Additionally, Web3 intelligence platform TokenTool Hub noted that although utility is very important in pricing, valuation is influenced by capital flows, demand growth, and time. Another X user also shared that XRP and Cardano can’t be compared in terms of performance because they work in separate supply scales, with XRP exceeding Cardano by 64 billion tokens. Similarly, other commenters asserted that the tokens have very different use cases and market dynamics. Walter Clark on X also discussed the frustration long-term holders experience, saying he’s been waiting years for an XRP rally that has never materialized. He insisted his patience is wearing thin. XRP would need to grow 7,800% to meet the Digital Outlook forecast With XRP at $1.45, a $3,900 stake buys you 2,690 coins. For that stack to be worth $310,000, each coin would need to be worth at least $115. To get there, XRP would need to climb 7,800%, a massive target that some market watchers doubt believe is out of reach for the foreseeable future. Earlier this month, some influencers and analysts theorized XRP could reach $245 and $350 in 2026. At the time, Crypto YouTuber Zach Humphries went public to challenge those viral forecasts, essentially saying they’re totally disconnected from reality and could hurt retail buyers. If XRP climbed to $245, its market cap would balloon to $15 trillion—six times the combined market cap of the entire crypto market. Humphries also dismissed the idea of a $350 token, saying the token would have to reach $21 trillion, which is practically impossible at the moment. Around the same time, King Vale criticized unrealistic price predictions made on X, citing missed forecasts for XRP in 2025. His remarks have particular bearing in the forecasts made by Jake Claver, Chad Steingraber, Crypto Sensie, Time Traveler, JackTheRippler, Remi Relief, and Sistine Research.

Court rules against Elon Musk in investor lawsuit over Twitter deal comments
Elon Musk lost a courtroom fight in California after a jury said he defrauded Twitter shareholders during the messy run-up to his $44 billion takeover of the company. The verdict came on Friday and handed a win to investors who said his public comments hurt them while the deal was still playing out. Lawyers for the plaintiffs said the damages could reach $2.6 billion, a huge number in a case tied to one of the most chaotic tech acquisitions in recent years. The lawsuit is called Pampena v. Musk.It was filed in October 2022, after Elon finished buying Twitter for $54.20 per share.After closing the deal, he changed Twitter’s name to X. He later combined it with xAI, his artificial intelligence company, and then with SpaceX, his rocket business. Outside the courthouse in San Francisco, lawyer Joseph Cotchett said:- “This is a great example of what you cannot do to the average investor — people that have 401ks, kids, pension funds, teachers, firemen, nurses. That’s what this case was all about. This was not about Musk. It was about the whole operation.” Musk’s tweets rattled investors during the Twitter buyout The fight centered on what Elon said after he made his bid for Twitter in April 2022. Soon after offering to buy the company, he started questioning Twitter’s numbers on bots, spam, and fake accounts. In May 2022, Elon posted that the takeover was “temporarily on hold” until Twitter’s chief executive could show that fake and spam accounts were close to the roughly 5% level listed in the company’s SEC filings. That post, along with other public remarks from Elon, hit Twitter shares hard. The stock fell almost 10% in a single trading session. Jurors spent four days reviewing the evidence. They then unanimously found that Elon’s tweets from May 13 and May 17 were materially false or misleading. Former Twitter shareholders said those posts were not random. The group included small investors and options traders who argued that Elon was trying to pressure Twitter’s board into accepting a lower price than the one he had already agreed to pay. They said he had a financial reason to do that because Tesla stock had dropped, and that meant he may have needed to sell more Tesla shares than he first expected in order to fund the buyout. The plaintiffs said they sold their Twitter shares for less than $54.20 after reading Elon’s posts and hearing his comments in press interviews. Their lawyers said the damages estimate came from expert work on how much his changing public stance pushed the stock price down during the class period. Elon’s lawyers at Quinn Emanuel pushed back in an emailed statement. They said, “We view today’s verdict, where the jury found both for and against the plaintiffs and found no fraud scheme, as a bump in the road. And we look forward to vindication on appeal.” Teenagers accuse xAI tools of helping create explicit fake images The investor verdict landed in the same week that another lawsuit hit one of Elon’s companies. Three teenagers in Tennessee sued xAI in California, where the company is based. The high school students said xAI’s image tools were used to turn real photos of them into sexually explicit fake images. They reportedly want to proceed under pseudonyms. They are also asking for class-action status so they can represent what the complaint describes as thousands of victims who are minors, or who were minors, when those fake images were made. The lawsuit says Jane Doe 1 got an anonymous warning in December that someone was sharing sexual images of her on a social media site. The complaint said:- “At least five of these files, one video and four images, depicted her actual face and body in settings with which she was familiar, but morphed into sexually explicit poses.” The filing says the person spreading the files knew her and used xAI image tools to turn normal photos into abusive fake content. One image came from a homecoming photo. Another came from a high school yearbook. The same person also created explicit fake images of at least 18 other girls, including the two other plaintiffs in the case. In late December, local police arrested the alleged perpetrator and took his phone. Investigators found that he had uploaded the images to several platforms and traded them for sexual images of other minors. The new case added more legal pressure around Elon and xAI just as the Twitter investor verdict put another major ruling next to his name. The smartest crypto minds already read our newsletter.
