Ethereum Going to $2K Says Peter Schiff, Altcoins Bleed Amid US Recession Fears
The US recessionary fears have sent jitters across the asset classes with Bitcoin and the broader crypto market seeing major drops. The Ethereum price has crashed 6% going under $3,000, the level last seen in early July. Over the last week, the ETH price has tanked by more than 8.5% with analysts expecting further crash ahead.
Peter Schiff- Ethereum Can Go to $2K
The spot Ethereum ETFs have seen major outflows in the last two weeks since launch. Popular economist Peter Schiff highlighted this declining performance of Ethereum ETFs, dropping more than 15% in two weeks. As the ETH price stayed under $3,000, Peter Schiff predicted that it could crash further all the way to $2K.
On Friday, the spot Ether ETF saw net outflows of $54.3 million, per the data from Farside Investors. Grayscale’s ETH saw $61.4 million in outflows while Fidelity FETH saw $6 million in inflows. The rest of all other Ether ETFs in the US saw zero inflows yesterday.
Gold buff Peter Schiff took this opportunity to say that a US recession would be bullish for Gold. He explained that a recession could lead to much larger federal budget deficits, a weaker dollar, collapsing real interest rates, and much higher inflation. Also, he believes the Federal Reserve will potentially return to quantitative easing to monetize debt, stimulate the economy, and prop up markets, which could drive gold prices higher.
Interestingly, former President Donald Trump proposed to write crypto checks in order to clear some part of the US $35 trillion debt.

Altcoins Bleed Heavily
Along with Ethereum, the rest of the altcoin space is seeing massive correction with the top alts falling anywhere between 5-10%. Although the altcoin whales have been buying the dips recently, the trading volumes haven’t picked up well.
CruptoQuant’s altcoin analyst Kate Young Ju highlighted the formation of the buy walls for altcoins paired against Bitcoin and stablecoins. However, she noted that the trading volumes remain low.
Young Ju emphasized that while buy walls are a positive sign, the much-anticipated “alt season,” characterized by a surge in trading volume, has not yet arrived. She said that this would be a good time to research some promising altcoins and prepare for the next bull run.
Buy walls are forming for altcoins with both stablecoin and #Bitcoin pairs, but volumes are still low.
If alt season means a surge in volume, it’s not here yet.
Now’s the time to research promising alts for the next bull run—time might be short once Bitcoin hits a new ATH. pic.twitter.com/v1133n6G9L

A renowned crypto analyst caused a huge market stir by forecasting a highly bullish outlook for Dogecoin price this Thursday. Market expert Ali Martinez revealed that a roughly 250% rally for the dog-themed meme coin to the $0.5 level looms. However, this bull run is possible given that the meme token holds above key support at $0.16. DOGE price exchanged hands at $0.1662 as of press time, igniting optimism over a rally ahead.
Dogecoin Price Eyes Over 250% Gains; Top Analyst Highlights Conditions
Ali Martinez on April 3 revealed that the $0.16 price level presents itself as a ‘make-or-break’ point for Dogecoin price via a post on X. According to him, if the price holds this level, a potential rally to $0.57 awaits, which is up nearly 256% from the current level.
However, failing to hold this level could result in a drop to $0.06, per the analyst. As a result, the key support level remains much-eyed by market watchers as the meme coin currently trades near it.
As mentioned above, the price is trading at $0.1662 with an intraday loss of over 3%. It bottomed and peaked at $0.1624 and $0.1787 over the past day, preventing losing support of $0.16. In an upshot, market watchers eye the token optimistically, expecting a sustained movement and thereby, a rally.
What Are The Next Resistance Levels For Dogecoin Price?
In another X post shared previously, the same analyst highlighted vital resistance levels for the dog-themed meme coin. Notably, the price faces two key resistance barriers at $0.18 and $0.21.
A sustained breakthrough above these resistance levels paves the way for a +250% bull run for DOGE price. In the wake of these price dynamics, crypto traders and investors are now glued to the meme coin’s price chart and await a trajectory shift.
Derivatives Data Sparks Speculations
However, Coinglass data has sparked contrary investor speculations by showcasing a decline in futures OI. DOGE futures OI was down over 3% to $1.56 billion today. This stat underscored slightly reduced investor interest in the meme token despite bullish predictions. Besides, the derivatives volume witnessed a 40% jump to $5.24 billion, adding a layer of intrigue to the market sentiment.
Crypto market traders and investors expect short-term volatility amid the dynamic market stats, whilst long-term prospects remain bullish. Also, a Dogecoin price prediction by CoinGape revealed that the technical chart on the weekly time frame showcases a bullish engulfing pattern. This formation suggests a strong momentum favoring buyers. Overall, broader market sentiments orbiting the meme coin remain bullish.

As Binance’s Vote to List initiative kicks off, the exchange has turned its back on Pi Network for the second time. Binance is proceeding with the decentralized listing program but Pi Network is noticeably absent from the raft of cryptocurrencies.
Pi Network Fails To Make Binance List
Pi Network enthusiasts are in limbo following the absence of the token in Binance’s Vote to List initiative. According to a press release, Binance has opened voting for its second Vote to List initiative.
This time, 12 tokens are up for community voting, with Binance proceeding to spot-list successful tokens. Apart from vote count, Binance says it will consider trading demand, a risk assessment, and a compliance check to decide on tokens that will make the listing.
The selected tokens include VIRTUAL, BIGTIME, UXLINK, MORPHO, GRASS, ATH, WAL, SAFE, ZETA, IP, ONDO, and PLUME. While the first focused on memecoin, the second iteration beams a searchlight on utility tokens cutting across several verticals.
Back in March, Binance excluded Pi Network from its first edition of the Vote to List initiative. Binance has clarified that only BNB-based projects will be allowed to participate in the Vote to List initiative, dousing optimism for Pi Network enthusiasts.
When Will Binance List The Asset?
Despite Pi missing out on the Vote to List program, there is still a ray of hope for community members. Binance can list Pi via a direct listing in the future but a timeline is unavailable.
Experts say a lack of transparency by The PiCoreTeam (PCT) is a reason why Binance has not listed Pi Network. Particularly, the exchange took swipes at the PCT for failing to give proper disclosures on the Pi Network’s locking and burning mechanism.
Pi Network secured a major listing on the BTCC Exchange, bringing the token closer to being listed on mainstream exchanges. While a listing hovers on the horizon for Pi, the PCT’s domain auction is gathering steam with over 200,000 bids.
Pi price has been largely underwhelming over the last day, losing nearly 5%. Pi trades at $0.6646 to drop below the $0.7 mark for the first time in over a month.

Following a reserve crisis that hit TrueUSD and Justin Sun’s intervention, First Digital Trust denied claims of insolvency. The Trust, at the center of the fiasco, says it is fully solvent while accusing Sun of sensationalism.
First Digital Trust Refutes Allegations Of Insolvency
First Digital Trust has released a statement debunking allegations of financial impropriety and insolvency. According to the statement, First Digital Trust says it is completely solvent while accusing Justin Sun of falsehood.
The Trust has been at the center of a whirlpool of a liquidity crisis involving TrueUSD (TUSD) with Justin Sun stepping in to stabilize the stablecoin with a capital injection. The Tron founder launched a tirade against the Hong Kong-based trust, accusing it of financial mismanagement including unauthorized trade finance loans.
“The recent allegations by Justin Sun against First Digital Trust are completely false,” read the statement.
The Trust disclosed that its FDUSD stablecoin is solvent and backed by US Treasury Bills. Per the statement, the legal dispute surrounding TUSD has nothing to do with FDUSD, accusing Sun of a smear campaign. First Digital Trust says it has not had the opportunity to defend itself in court, accusing Sun of launching social media attacks.
“This is a typical Justin Sun smear campaign to try to attack a competitor to his business,” added First Digital Trust.
Justin Sun Maintains His Stance
Justin Sun remains firm in his resolve that First Digital Trust is insolvent while urging investors to cut ties with FDUSD. He warns that the Trust founder Vincent Chok will face the full wrath of the justice system.
“First Digital Trust (FDT) is in fact insolvent,” said Sun. “If you have any relationship with it, please cut off contact as soon as possible to protect your assets.”
Following his accusations, FDUSD lost its peg and traded at a low of $0.88, a steep drop before crawling to $0.98. The loss of $130 million from its market capital has rattled investors with critics taking swipes over its de-pegging.
The Tron founder has covered every blade of grass in recent days, buying $75M of the Trump memecoin. Last week, Justin Sun weighed in on TRX’s halving proposal, supporting a proposal to mirror Bitcoin’s pattern.
The stablecoin drama comes as the US is inching toward tighter stablecoin regulation with the GENIUS Act and STABLE Act.
