Hong Kong police say a 66-year-old retiree was duped three times in six months 
by self-styled “crypto investment experts,” as scammers promised easy gains 
and help to recover losses.

Hong Kong retiree loses $840K in triple ‘crypto expert’ scam

Dogecoin is still trading below $0.10, but there&#8217;s still the question of just 
how far it can go if it plays out a breakout structure. A price target of 
$0.6533 is on the table for Dogecoin, and if that level breaks, analyst Javon 
Marks says $1.25111 comes into play next, which would mark an all-time high 
for the meme coin. Long-Term Breakout Still Keeping The Bullish Structure 
Alive The main feature on Marks’ chart is a multi-year breakout from a 
descending resistance line that had stopped Dogecoin&#8217;s price advances since 
its previous top in 2021. That trendline, which is drawn from the May 2021 
peak through later lower highs, acted as a resistance for a long period before 
price finally broke through in early 2025 and began forming a new structure.

The technical chart from Marks also references a sequence of higher highs and 
higher lows after that breakout, which shows the current trend dominated by 
Dogecoin. Even though the asset has since retraced below $0.10, the outlook is 
that the bigger breakout is still in play. In other words, the recent weakness 
has not yet erased the larger technical change that took place when Dogecoin 
pushed above that long-standing resistance. Marks also pointed to a regular 
bullish divergence on the MACD, and that is where the shorter-term optimism 
comes from. As shown in the lower part of the chart below, the momentum 
indicator has been forming a rising structure even as price pressed lower in 
2026. That kind of divergence typically means that the downside momentum is 
weakening, although the price action has not fully reflected that. Dogecoin

According to Marks, the current setup is pointing to a reversal and the 
continuation of a 581% breakout run. This 581% projection clarifies just how 
significant the projected move would be relative to the current price around 
$0.09. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.0952, but the first 
breakout target is at $0.6533. A move to $0.6533 would represent a gain of 
more than 585% from the current price, and this would place Dogecoin in sight 
of trading at new price highs. That target is not being presented as the end 
of the story either. Marks says a break above $0.6533 would bring $1.25111 
into play. The chart visually highlights both levels, treating the first as 
the main breakout objective and the second as the next expansion target if 
bullish continuation strengthens further. Related Reading: Bitcoin Gains

is not the end of the story. According to Marks, a break above $0.6533 would 
inevitably see Dogecoin break above $1 and bring a peak price of $1.25111 into 
target. The chart projects that move into late 2026 to mid-2027, with the 
annotated gain from current levels registering at approximately 421%. Featured

How High Can Dogecoin Price Go If It Maintains This Breakout?

Bitcoin (BTC) is showing early signs of a prolonged decline after peaking in 
October 2025. Historical patterns highlighted by a crypto analyst suggest that 
the world’s largest cryptocurrency has not yet reached its macro bear market 
bottom, despite recent major declines. Analysis of historical patterns from 
past cycles suggests the current market crash may persist for many more 
months, and the analyst urges investors and traders to adjust their 
expectations accordingly. Related Reading: Bitcoin Gains Ground On Gold Even 
As Both Assets Slide Bitcoin Historical Correlation Points To Further Crash 
Crypto market expert Greeny shared a new technical analysis on X, noting that 
Bitcoin has consistently followed a pattern of peaks and bottoms across every 
major cycle over the past decade. Historical data from the analyst’s chart 
shows that from 2013 to 2015, Bitcoin took roughly 410 days to reach a low. 
Similarly, the 2017 to 2018 cycle lasted about 363 days, while the decline 
from the 2021 peak extended around 376 days. The average across these three 
cycles is approximately 383 days, roughly over a year. In this cycle, the 
analyst notes that the market is about five months past its October peak, 
suggesting that the current downtrend is far from over. Greeny has also noted 
that historical drawdowns during past cycles have been severe. In 2011, 
Bitcoin crashed by a whopping 93% before hitting a bottom. Later in 2015, the 
cryptocurrency fell from its peak, marking an 85% slump, while it dropped by 
77% again in 2022 following the 2021 bull market rally. According to the 
analyst, Bitcoin is currently trading 42% below its all-time high of over 
$126,000 in this cycle, further reinforcing his belief that the market still 
has significant room for more losses. While Greeny acknowledged that 
institutional demand may prevent a crash as deep as previous cycles, he 
believes the timing of this bear market’s bottom is consistent with historical 
trends. Beyond bear market durations and crash depths, Greeny also highlighted 
Bitcoin’s post-decline accumulation phases for each cycle. He noted that in 
2015, Bitcoin spent 15 months trading sideways before a new uptrend emerged. 
Similarly, both 2018 and 2022 saw roughly 18 months of choppy trading before a 
market shift occurred. Greeny strongly believes that the current market cycle 
is mirroring historical patterns. He expects the ongoing market crash to 
continue, with a meaningful accumulation phase still a long time off. This 
further supports the view that Bitcoin remains in the early stages of its bear 
market. What To Expect In The Current Market Cycle Greeny suggested that the 
average macro bear market bottom has historically appeared around 363 days 
after its cycle peak, placing a potential bottom near late 2026 or beyond. He 
explained that while Bitcoin has already started its price dump, its broader 
weakness is still ongoing. Related Reading: Over Half A Billion Dollars Wiped 
Out As Bitcoin Locks In At $70,000 The analyst warned that traders hoping for 
a quick “V-recovery” may be disappointed, as such rebounds have never occurred 
in Bitcoin’s history. He added that after BTC reaches a price floor, its 
accumulation phase is expected to last 12 to 16 months before any trend shift 
is confirmed. Greeny noted that the recent sharp drop in February may slightly 
shorten this phase, but a full trend shift is unlikely before 2027. Featured

Bitcoin Market Update: BTC Stuck in Tight Range as Volatility Drops and Breakout Looms

According to a recent on-chain data evaluation, the Bitcoin price might not be 
seeing a start to renewed price expansion in the near-term. Interestingly, 
this hypothesis seems to align with the multiple recovery attempts by the 
flagship cryptocurrency over the past few weeks. BTC Net Realized Profit Peak 
At $17M/hr Before Swift Price Downturn In a March 20 post on the social media 
platform X, on-chain research firm Glassnode revealed what was behind 
Bitcoin’s recent reversal from what initially looked like an expansion move. 
This is based on the Net Realized Profit/Loss (NRPL) (24h Moving Average) 
metric, which reflects whether the market is predominantly realizing profits 
or losses, by tracking (and comparing) the amount of either that has been 
realized by holders over 24 hours. Related Reading: Bitcoin Shark &amp; Whale 
Wallets Jump Despite Bearish Price Action Glassnode highlighted that readings 
on the NRPL metric recently reached a high of approximately $17 million/hr 
before the price of Bitcoin started moving downwards again. This trend was 
outlined as one of the drivers behind the flagship cryptocurrency’s loss of 
its $70,000 footing. According to the analytics firm, the heightened profit- 
taking activity among Bitcoin’s investors has continued to absorb bullish 
momentum, thereby converting it to bearish pressure. Notably, this pattern has 
repeated itself at multiple moments in the current cycle, specifically as 
Bitcoin attempts to rally to the upside. Glassnode further explained that the 
degree of uncertainty currently in the geopolitical world has caused “demand 
depth” to compress. As a result, realization events like the last one have 
become too much for the market to absorb, explaining the recent slip below 
$70,000. Interestingly, this is not a standalone reason behind BTC&#8217;s activity. 
After Bitcoin fell below the $85,000 support, a surge in on-chain activity was 
observed due to liquidity repositioning by investors. However, the waning 
market liquidity in recent weeks suggests that BTC price recovery is buoyed by 
seller exhaustion rather than by strong and consistent demand. Hence, the life 
of the recovery is truncated whenever sellers enter the market Short-Term 
Holders Realize Losses As Price Nears $74K For instance, crypto analyst 
Darkfost highlighted that Bitcoin’s short-term investors are locking in more 
losses in recent weeks. This is reflected in readings from the Short-Term 
Holder P&amp;L to Exchanges Sum metric. In their post on X, Darkfost revealed that 
more than 28,000 BTC have recently been sent to exchanges, with these 
investors seemingly cutting their losses. These losses, pointed out the 
analyst, continued to grow as the Bitcoin price went into a steady decline. 
For this reason, it is safe to expect more bearish pressure from this investor 
cohort, as additional panic-driven sales would likely contribute more bearish 
momentum to the Bitcoin market. Thus, rather than a hopeful story of positive 
expectations, the Bitcoin price seems to be giving warning signs to investors. 
As of this writing, Bitcoin holds a valuation of about $70,532, reflecting no 
significant movement in the past day. Related Reading: Bitcoin Just Got A $1
