- Cryptocurrency market sentiment improves with fund flows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) after Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple prices rise. The fear and greed index in the cryptocurrency market reached 46 points on Thursday, marking a low level of fear, after being at 32 points the previous day and 23 points last week, indicating a level of extreme fear. Market sentiment appears to be steadily improving despite the conflict in the Middle East, especially with the diplomatic resolution still unclear. On the positive side, the ceasefire between the United States and Iran remains in place after President Donald Trump extended it on Tuesday. If sentiment continues to improve, risk appetite for assets, including cryptocurrencies, may increase along with bullish conviction.

I just saw that the real estate tycoon Grant Cardone has made another bold prediction, this time saying Bitcoin should trade at $280,000. This guy manages $5.3 billion in assets with Cardone Capital, and he has also invested $70 million in Bitcoin, so his words carry some weight. However, currently Bitcoin is only around $77,500, so to reach $280,000 would be nearly a 4x increase. Once this kind of increase happens, Dogecoin definitely won't sit idly by. Dogecoin has always been a high-beta asset following Bitcoin, and when Bitcoin surges, Dogecoin often rises even more sharply. Based on the current price of $0.10, if we just consider proportional relationships, Dogecoin could surge to $0.35 to $0.40. But this is just a conservative estimate; during a real Dogecoin bull run, Dogecoin often exceeds expectations and may even break the $1 mark. XRP is also interesting. Currently priced at $1.42, the XRP/BTC ratio is about 0.00002. If Bitcoin really reaches $280,000 and this ratio stays the same, XRP would be between $5.60 and $6.00. Some long-term holders have been waiting for this moment. Some believe that if XRP’s cross-border payment applications really take off, in this bull market scenario, the price could even break $10. These are all market correlation speculations; the actual movement will depend on real-world developments.

I noticed an interesting movement in XRP over the past few days. Whales are actively accumulating — from March 22 to 30, their holdings increased by more than 120 million tokens. This happened amid serious institutional interest in the altcoin. Data shows that XRP spot funds in the US received a net inflow of about 2.66 million tokens last week. Additionally, XRP-based investment products attracted $15.8 million in new money. Interestingly, investors are choosing XRP more actively than Bitcoin or Solana, where last week experienced capital outflows. All of this occurs while the token's price hovers around $1.42. Although the altcoin has fallen 6% in recent days, the last four days indicate a potential reversal. On the 4-hour chart, a possible double bottom with bearish RSI divergence is visible — a classic reversal signal. Investors seem to be preparing for a possible rise, judging by their accumulations at current levels.
