Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Lombard & Ethereum – Asian Wrap 6 March

Top 3 Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple – BTC, ETH, XRP at risk as US-Iran war extends

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP) trade cautiously at press time on Friday, close to key support levels after a roughly 2% pullback the previous day. Bitcoin holds above $71,000, Ethereum at $2,000, and XRP continues to consolidate in a sideways range. The top three cryptocurrencies by market capitalization struggle to maintain a directional trend, with the US-Iran war weighing on global market sentiment.

Top Crypto Gainers: Lombard, Humanity Protocol, OKB rally on US Fed’s tokenized securities clarity, NYSE investment

Lombard is down 3% at press time on Friday, retracing lower after a 55% rally on the previous day. The rally aligns with the US Fed’s decision to allow the inclusion of tokenized securities in the US banking system. The R3 Pivot Point at $1.70 capped the rally, resulting in the intraday pullback. If BARD exceeds this level with a daily close, it could open the door to the R4 Pivot Point at $2.00.

Ethereum Price Forecast: ETFs pull in $169M as validators pile in to stake ETH

US spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded $169 million in net inflows on Wednesday, marking the largest daily intake in two months, according to SoSoValue data. The rise in inflows signals renewed institutional interest in Ethereum amid broader market volatility. The largest inflows went to Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust ETF, which pulled in $59 million. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust followed with $39 million, while Fidelity Investments’ Ethereum Fund attracted $30 million.
