Ethereum has rebounded above $2,150, with analysts saying a daily close above $2,200 is needed to confirm a stronger upside move and keep momentum intact. The same view outlines $2,500–$2,700 as nearby targets if $2,200 holds, while a drop back below that area could preserve a bearish setup.

Venus Protocol, a BNB Chain lending platform, lost about $3.6 million after an attacker manipulated THE token liquidity to amplify borrowing through repeated flash-loan-style loops. The attacker had accumulated roughly 14.5 million THE (about 84% of circulating supply) and later cycled exposure to around 53.2 million THE. Venus suspended the THE market and tightened collateral rules, flagging six tokens including BCH, LTC, UNI, AAVE, FIL, and TWT.

DWF Labs managing partner Andrei Grachev said the retail-style, broad altcoin season is "structurally" unlikely to return, as ETF-driven institutional capital keeps liquidity concentrated in BTC and ETH. He described a shift toward short, sharp sector rotations and said he still expects new all-time highs for major assets in H1 2026. CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index was 45/100 on March 15, up from 35 last month but still below the 75 level needed to signal Altcoin Season.

ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees has returned to accumulating Ethereum after a one-year break, with on-chain data pointing to sizable ETH buys routed via CoW Protocol. The activity involved $49 million in USDT for nearly 24,000 ETH at an average price of $2,098, while related wallets still hold about $35.25 million in USDT and Aave-yield bearing AETHUSDT.

XRP rose about 5% to nearly $1.50 as the broader crypto market rebounded over the past 12 hours. Analysts pointed to $1.43 as a key resistance and said a break above a sell-wall area near $1.50 could leave $1.95 as the next major hurdle. Separately, comments highlighted limited XRP short positioning while futures open interest climbed 16.5% over the past week to above $1.6 billion.

Onyxcoin (XCN) rose 4.4% in the last 24 hours and is up 27% over the past week after a multi-week slide from $0.013 to $0.0046. Technical readings show limited sustained buying pressure, with resistance near $0.0068–$0.0075. A short-term dip toward $0.0057–$0.00545 remains possible, and the bullish setup would weaken if price drops below $0.005.

On Sunday, onchain analysts said former ShapeShift CEO Erik Voorhees swapped 49.08 million USDT for 23,393 ETH via two wallets, later lifting the combined total to 24,968 ETH valued at about $56.5 million. The day before, he was also reported to have bought tokenized gold assets XAUT and PAXG worth $23.7 million. ETH was trading around $2,265, up 7.15% over the past 24 hours.

On March 15, Mantle (MNT) traded around $0.79 after rising more than 10% over 24 hours, while volume climbed 81.53% to $117.67 million. The rebound started from the $0.60 support area and has pushed price toward a key resistance near $0.93. Spot order flow and derivatives positioning also improved, though the $0.93 level remains the next major hurdle.
