Bitcoin miners&#8217; identity is fracturing on four fronts simultaneously: crushed 
margins, accelerating AI pivots, expanding debt loads, and a treasury sell 
discipline that no longer holds. CoinShares&#8217; latest mining report shows public 
miners&#8217; weighted-average cash cost was roughly $79,995 per BTC in the fourth 
quarter of 2025. The hash price fell to approximately $36-$38 per […]

Crypto exchange Bitrue made a bold claim Tuesday: XRP is trading at a fraction 
of where it belongs. With the coin sitting around $1.42, Bitrue put the fair 
value at $10 — more than seven times its current price and a market cap that 
would top $610 billion. Related Reading: Bernstein Sets $150,000 Bitcoin 
Target As ETF Inflows Surpass $1.6B In March Derivatives Data Tells A 
Different Story Than The Price Chart The numbers in the futures market are 
raising eyebrows. XRP&#8217;s open interest climbed to $2.60 billion, a 7% jump in a 
single day, according to data from CoinGlass. That kind of move during a price 
dip signals something specific: traders are opening new positions, and those 
positions are leaning long. Although the price of $XRP is falling, there is no 
increase in short positions. On the contrary, long positions are increasing 
slightly. There is no downside pressure in the $XRP futures market. In 
addition, an increase in OI indicates a desire to buy long positions at low… 
pic.twitter.com/F8wnhWKUsO — CW (@CW8900) March 24, 2026 Analysts flagged the 
pattern. Short positions have not been piling up the way they typically do 
when a market turns bearish. Instead, traders appear to be buying into the 
weakness, a sign that many expect a price recovery rather than a continued 
slide. XRP dropped nearly 4% over the past week. But the futures market is not 
behaving like one bracing for more pain. #XRP should be $10 
https://t.co/YxP3OSiom0 — Bitrue (@BitrueOfficial) March 25, 2026 What The 
Charts Say About Possible Downside Not every analyst is calling a bottom. A 
separate technical analysis flagged XRP as potentially still inside a 
corrective pattern — what Elliott Wave traders call a Wave 2/5 retracement. 
Under that reading, the price could briefly push toward $1.51 before pulling 
back more sharply. Key downside levels being watched include $1.12, where a 
double-bottom formation could take shape, and $0.87, which many traders regard 
as a strong long-term accumulation zone. Reports indicate some see the current 
price action as a late-stage shakeout — a test of conviction before a larger 
move upward. That tension is sitting at the center of XRP&#8217;s current moment. 
The short-term and long-term pictures are not telling the same story. XRP: 
Long-Term Targets Remain In Play Despite Recent Weakness Longer-term forecasts 
for XRP have not shifted. Price targets of $5 and higher — including the $10 
figure Bitrue cited — continue to circulate among analysts and community 
members. Those targets are tied to broader narratives: growing institutional 
interest, Ripple&#8217;s resolved legal standoff with the SEC, and expanding 
adoption of blockchain-based payment infrastructure. Related Reading: Iran 
Rejects Peace Talk Claims, Leaving Bitcoin Stuck At $70K Missouri recently 
moved to designate XRP as an official reserve asset — a step that adds a layer 
of institutional credibility the coin did not carry a few years ago. Reports 
note that skeptics remain. XRP has a history of slow upward movement 
punctuated by sharp pullbacks, and even believers in a $10 target acknowledge 
that significant volatility could accompany any rise toward that level. For 
now, XRP sits in a narrow range, down on the week but holding its footing. The 
derivatives market suggests traders are not walking away. They are waiting.
