Bitcoin was trading above $77,200 this Saturday morning when the IRGC dropped the news: the Strait of Hormuz is closed again. The brief 24-hour window where Iran had declared it "completely open" is over, and the price action on the 15-minute chart tells the whole story.
On April 18, 2026, KelpDAO suffered what is now confirmed as the largest decentralized finance exploit of the year - a targeted attack on its LayerZero-powered cross-chain bridge that drained approximately 116,500 rsETH, valued at around $292 to $293 million at the time of the incident.
ETH reserves hit a one-year low, network activity is surging, and nobody is in profit, but derivatives traders are aggressively short.
XRP rallied more than 10% on ceasefire optimism, but whales positioned early, sold the $1.50 top, and stepped back. Retail is holding the floor for now.
The Russian government has submitted a bill to the State Duma that would establish criminal liability for operating cryptocurrency services without a license from the Bank of Russia.
XRP's price is hovering around $1.44 as of March 21, up 3.15% on the week but still struggling to reclaim meaningful technical ground.
After getting cut nearly in half from its January highs above $105K, Bitcoin has clawed back into the low-to-mid $70K range and is now pushing against its first meaningful resistance zone - somewhere between $76K and $80K - in what's shaping up to be the market's first genuine attempt at recovery since the selloff began.
Bitcoin's price is back above $74,000 again, and for a market that was registering an Extreme Fear reading of just 5 as recently as February 6th, that's not nothing.
Bitcoin is not having a clean March. After briefly flirting with the $70K range, the market is throwing up signals that veteran analysts aren't ignoring - and neither should you.
