  • Altcoins show mixed action: $NEAR, Aptos, and Injective gained, while meme and AI tokens pulled back amid uneven market strength.

Bitcoin price is showing signs of cooling after its recent short-term pump. BTC Price is now moving sideways within a wider consolidation range. The pullback came after the asset reached overbought levels on lower time frames and cleared nearby liquidity.

The weekly trend still shows bearish divergence. This means the broader multi-month downtrend may not be fully over. In the near term, momentum has weakened, though it has not turned clearly bearish yet.

Altcoins Might See Downtrend in March

A popular crypto analyst has warned that several top altcoins could face further downside in March. The warning is based on ongoing downtrends and softening market sentiment.

Zebec Network (ZBC) was flagged as the first token at risk. A recent triangle breakdown and Fibonacci levels hint at a possible downtrend towards earlier lows. Despite continued development activity, the sentiment around the ZBC token price remains weak.

Stellar ($XLM) Price can decline toward the $0.10 level if the current trend continues.

The outlook for $XRP price remains cautious as well. According to the analyst, liquidity pressure could keep the token under strain in the near term, even while ecosystem updates continue.

Solana ($SOL) price could move toward the $50 zone, amid market uncertainty and technical resistance.

Lastly, Sui ($SUI) may also face added selling pressure. The projected near-term target stands around $0.53 based on Fibonacci analysis.
