The chain analysis for the three main cryptocurrencies in Santiment shows that Binance's financing rate for bitcoin has been positive for three consecutive days in a row. That is, bitcoin derivative merchants expect the price to appreciate, even when they reduce their activity in the Token, as collected by coinglase data.
ethereum's supply in the hands of whales, excluding exchanges, does not see a significant change, while bitcoin's supply in the hands of the funds has been reduced consistently. The active addresses in XRP, within the daily period, have risen on Wednesday, after a negative peak on Tuesday, as Santiment said.
Mixed data in the chain suggest that a slightly optimistic perspective for bitcoin and the price of XRP and ethereum could remain stable or unchanged against the next volatility in the prices of the three main cryptocurrencies with the imminent decision of the FOMC interest rate.

In the bitcoin block chain, the relationship of daily transactions in the chain in the profits is almost double transactions in losses, there is scope to obtain profits from the merchants who bought the lowest token. In the case of ethereum, there is a slight increase in the gain supply and the same has been observed in XRP.
ethereum and XRP offer limited opportunities to obtain profits for merchants, as seen in the table below.

Push rate and FOMC rate of Trump
Bitget's CEO, Gracy Chen, told crypto.News that Trump's Pro-crypto position has left many perplexed merchants. The idea of a strategic bitcoin reserve of the USA. UU. It is gaining ground and, although the government is not yet buying bitcoin, it could soon change.
“The Stablecoin bill is moving through Congress, which indicates an important change towards a blockchain -based financial system. Some big names, including Elon Musk, are exploring their own stable, and Trump's team veblecoins as a way to protect the global reserve state of the dollar.
Then there is the economy. The Scott Besent talk of a “detoxification period” suggests that a controlled recession could be ahead. If that is the case, Trump's playing book seems clear: to blame the recession of Biden, use tariffs and cryptographic narratives to manage costs and boost the lowest interest rates to the growth of technology and ai. Short -term pain, long -term gain, that is the strategy. “
Chen maintains an optimistic bitcoin perspective and predicts that it does not fall under $ 70,000.
“bitcoin Price possibly falls to 73-78k (it is likely), which is a solid time to enter any buyer in the fence. In the next 1-2 years, btc to 200K is not as crazy as most would think.”
The decision of the FOMC interest rate is coming, with the probability of greater volatility and price changes as merchants react to the news.
Ryan Lee, Chief of Bitget Research, told crypto.news in a written note:
“It is expected that the FOMC meeting on March 19, 2025 will maintain the federal fund rate at 4.25%-4.50%, and the Fed has a cautious approach and based on data in the middle of persistent inflation and solid economic growth.
Cryptographic markets could see a short -term manifestation if the Fed indicates future tariffs cuts, increase the risk appetite or a fall if an aggressive posture reinforces the most strict financial conditions. However, the growing resistance of bitcoin and the winds of pro-crypto policy can moderate the broader impact of the market. “
Lee believes that volatility is likely to be around the announcement, it could be promoted by the comments of the president of the Federal Reserve, Powell, the projections of updated rates.
“The encryption market can continue to show a growing independence of the Fed decisions. After FOMC, bitcoin is expected to be negotiated within $ 80,000 to $ 86,000 with 80% confidence, while ethereum is projected to move between $ 1,800 and $ 2,100 under the same confidence level. These ranges reflect the potential fluctuations tied to macroeconomic signals to macroeconomic signs the signals of investors and financial conditions and financial conditions “.

ethereum won 2.39% in the day, looking at a new test of the psychologically important level of $ 2,000 before trying to climb to support $ 2,100. This marks a gain of almost 7% in the price of ethereum.
Two key impulse indicators in the ethereum, RSI and MACD price table admit eth price recovery within the daily period.
A bitcoin flashcrash could lead ethereum to the recent minimum of $ 1,754.

XRP price forecast
XRP could gather almost 7% and test the key resistance in the upper limit of a fair value gap within the daily period at $ 0.2707. RSI leans up and reads 47, heads towards Neutral at 50.

XRP merchants expect the next development in the demand of the United States financial regulator against Ripple. Another key market engine is the inclusion of XRP in the strategic reserve, according to the executive order of President Trump signed on March 6.
The results of these events could affect the price of XRP in the short term, in addition to the volatility induced by the FOMC rate.
