XRP, Solana and Cardano prices hover around $1.30, $80 and $0.24 respectively. Currently, BTC will move to $66,430 after rising from $68,000. Analysts say the week is heavy on macroeconomic data releases, and this may affect volatility.
In a volatile week for cryptocurrencies, XRP, Solana and Cardano prices hovered at key support levels, with Bitcoin set above $66,000 as traders braced for a new wave of macroeconomic data.
While geopolitical concerns over the Iran war continue to weigh on markets, investors weighing the next move will want to pay attention to key macroeconomic events this week.
QCP Group, via a post on X, noted that these data releases could shape the next leg of Bitcoin's price.
On Monday, Grix.Live analysts assessed that, in addition to macroeconomic factors, volatility may depend on announcements from US President Donald Trump.
Bitcoin altcoins rose briefly after Trump announced that the US was looking to end military operations in Iran.

On March 31, attention turned to US consumer confidence, Jolts job openings and the Chicago PMI.
QCP identifies JOLTS as a key variable as signs of a labor market slowdown or tightening are expected by the Federal Reserve and directly impact the dollar.
Tokens like XRP, Solana and Cardano can track the direction of Bitcoin.
On April 1, the S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI and ISM Manufacturing PMI will be released, with the ISM reading seen as particularly important.
A weak print could bolster expectations for rate cuts and crypto, but strong data could bolster a “longer-term” outlook and weigh on digital assets.
A similar trend applies to jobless claims data, another recent indicator.
A sharp increase could signal labor market weakness and could support Bitcoin as markets adjust to expectations for monetary easing.
The week ends on April 3 with the release of US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP).
QCP points to this as a major macro event that could revive inflation concerns and strengthen the dollar.
Historically, a strong greenback has pressured Bitcoin, while soft bond yields have tended to support the broader digital asset market with dovish policies.
XRP, SOL and ADA Price View
From a technical perspective, Bitcoin enters this data-heavy period in a constructive but bearish setup on the daily chart.
Traders are balancing macroeconomic concerns with geopolitical tensions, particularly the Iran conflict and disruptions related to the Strait of Hormuz.
The result is a market caught between volatile drivers, which has implications for risk assets.
Bitcoin's sensitivity to earnings data can drive wide moves in altcoins.
XRP holds support around $1.30, but BTC could slide to $1.20 if it weakens following off-farm payrolls.
On the downside, softer inflation readings could support a move toward $1.50.
Solana (SOL), which is trading near $80, is testing key moving averages and could risk a low near $70.
Strong bullish pressure, however, could pave the way to $100.
Meanwhile, Cardano (ADA) is down to $0.24, with the potential to drop further to $0.22.
A renewed flow of buyers could see the token test a return to the $0.30 resistance level.
