The week began with Bitcoin’s ignoble retreat from $72,000, a noble fall to $65,600 by Friday. Bulls, those stubborn optimists, rallied it back above $66,000 over the weekend, only for Monday’s dawn to bring fresh hell. At $65,000, the bears paused, as if to sip tea and debate the next move. Then came Trump, that maestro of mayhem, declaring war on calm itself. BTC, already bruised, tumbled $3K in a single day-proof that even kings fear the man with a megaphone.

The round, like a bottomless pit, remained open after its initial close, and CFO Sarah Friar confirmed on CNBC on March 24 that an additional $10 to $12 billion had trickled in. The final tally, a testament to our collective madness, exceeded the $100 billion target OpenAI had whispered of since the year’s dawn.

Ah, Q1-a quarter that played out with all the predictability of a Coward play. Our intrepid analyst, armed with more foresight than a soothsayer at a society dinner, had flagged that XRP’s 2025 correction was far from over. One more low, they said, before any sustainable rally. And lo, XRP obliged, dipping below $1.20 in early February, precisely within the support zone our analyst had so cleverly identified. It bottomed at $1.16 on February 6, followed by a 55% recovery in the same month-a fleeting moment of triumph, like a standing ovation at a mediocre performance.
