March 5 News: The latest market charts show that the key technical breakout of XRP against Bitcoin remains valid, with the breakout even surpassing the structure seen before the 500% surge in November 2024. Multiple technical indicators suggest that, despite recent pressure in the crypto market, the XRP/BTC trading pair remains above the long-term trend line, sparking discussions among some analysts about a new upward cycle.
Renowned market commentator Javon Marks pointed out that after XRP reached a high of about $3.6 in July 2025, the price experienced a significant correction and lagged behind Bitcoin. At that time, XRP/BTC rose to approximately 0.00003070, but as the market cooled, the pair has now fallen back to around 0.00001959. Due to XRP’s slightly larger decline compared to Bitcoin during recent market adjustments, the ratio has also decreased.
However, from a long-term technical perspective, XRP/BTC remains above a critical breakout zone. Data shows that this pair successfully broke through a two-week downtrend line that had been suppressing prices since January 2018 in November 2024. At that time, XRP surged from about $0.5 to approximately $3.4, an increase of nearly 580%, while XRP/BTC also rose from 0.00000725 to 0.00003419. Although current prices have pulled back from the highs, they still remain significantly above the historical breakout level of around 0.00001.
Javon Marks believes that holding above this technical breakout zone indicates that the market structure still has upward potential. Historical trends also provide similar examples. In April 2024, XRP briefly broke through a downtrend line on a smaller timeframe, pushing the price to around 0.00000902. Subsequently, the pair experienced a correction and continued to fluctuate for several months but never fell below the key breakout area.
Later, in November 2024, XRP saw a substantial rally, about six months after the initial breakout. Based on this historical pattern, Javon Marks suggests that the current two-week trend breakout could be larger, potentially offering more significant upside.
According to his technical estimates, if this historical pattern repeats, XRP/BTC could increase by approximately 620%, reaching around 0.0001410. At Bitcoin’s current price of about $71,000, this would imply a theoretical XRP price close to $10. Analysts note that future movements will still depend on overall market capital flow, Bitcoin trends, and changes in digital asset risk sentiment.

Current technological progress provides a cushion for Bitcoin, giving developers 3 to 5 years to push forward a post-quantum upgrade.

The New York Times reignites the “Satoshi identity mystery”; after Adam Back was targeted, he quickly clarified
Author: Nancy, PANews
Satoshi Nakamoto’s true identity remains the mystery that has continued in the crypto world for 17 years. Speculation about this pseudonym has never stopped—from cryptographers to corporate founders, various candidates have been brought up in turn, but there has always been a lack of evidence strong enough to settle the matter once and for all.
Recently, The New York Times published a long-form investigation of more than 10,000 words. Based on multiple comparisons drawn from language style, technical pathways, and historical context, it ranked Blockstream CEO Adam Back as the strongest candidate for Satoshi Nakamoto. However, this claim was quickly and clearly denied by Back himself, and the relevant arguments were widely questioned across the industry as being hard to support.
