Bitcoin holds $67k, Ethereum and XRP defend supports after $459M liquidations
Title: Bitcoin holds $67k as $459M liquidations fail to break support; ETH and XRP defend key floors
Bitcoin stays near $67,000. Ethereum sits above $2,000. XRP holds support while $459 million in liquidations failed to crack key levels.

Macro backdrop turned harsher. Geopolitical risks rose and yields shifted. Yet crypto decoupled from tech indices and didn’t make fresh lows. Context: Arthur Hayes on Bitcoin–Nasdaq divergence, tensions roundup via Crypto Rover.
Traders watch a possible bounce then fade. “A push back toward ~70k, followed by a rejection and a move down into key demand,” wrote The Chart Deck.
Key levels for investors:
- Bitcoin (BTC): Market defends ~$64,000 support during the liquidation cascade. Holding that floor signals sector risk appetite remains intact. Source: Coinspeaker.
- Ethereum (ETH): Must hold $1,850. A break targets $1,669. A close back above $2,200 would confirm a completed flush. Chart: TradingView.
- XRP: Support at $1.27. Resistance at $1.76–$1.80 where ~1.85B XRP sit. A move above $1.51 is required for trend reversal. Source: Coinspeaker.
Why it matters:
- $459M in recent liquidations did not trigger a breakdown below BTC’s structural floor, implying seller exhaustion. Source: Coinspeaker.
- Defense of $64k in BTC is the proxy to watch. A loss opens broader downside. A hold supports accumulation arguments. Source: Coinspeaker.
- For XRP, a SOPR capitulation signal plus March seasonality raises recovery odds if $1.27 holds and $1.51 breaks. Source: Coinspeaker.
