As 2026 kicks off, the broader cryptocurrency market is showing renewed stability. Ethereum (ETH) has reclaimed the $3,100 level, and momentum is gradually rotating into select altcoins — including World Liberty Financial (WLFI).
WLFI has jumped nearly 9% on the day, extending its weekly gains to around 16%, but the more important development is unfolding on the chart. On lower timeframes, price action is forming a well-defined bullish structure, suggesting that the token may be gearing up for a meaningful breakout if key levels are reclaimed.

Ascending Triangle In Play
On the 4-hour chart, WLFI is forming a clear ascending triangle, characterized by a series of higher lows pushing steadily into a flat resistance zone. This pattern is widely viewed as a bullish continuation setup, especially when it develops during a prolonged consolidation phase accompanied by consistent dip-buying.
WLFI recently faced rejection near the $0.1741 resistance zone, which capped multiple upside attempts. That rejection pushed price back toward the rising support trendline, with buyers stepping in around the $0.1222 region. Importantly, each pullback has been shallower than the last, reinforcing the presence of strong underlying demand.

The latest rebound has once again carried WLFI toward the upper boundary of the triangle, reinforcing the idea that demand remains firm. Rather than signaling weakness, this sideways-to-higher price action reflects healthy consolidation as volatility tightens ahead of a potential breakout.
What’s Next for WLFI?
From here, WLFI appears poised for another test of the $0.1741 resistance. A decisive breakout above this level, followed by a sustained close and a successful retest as support, would confirm the ascending triangle pattern and likely trigger a broader bullish expansion phase.
Based on the measured move of the formation, the technical upside projection points toward the $0.2522 region. This target represents a potential upside of roughly 48% from current levels and also aligns with prior price structure, strengthening the bullish case.
That said, caution remains warranted. If WLFI fails to break above resistance, price could once again rotate back toward the rising support trendline. As long as this trendline continues to hold, the broader bullish structure remains intact. A decisive breakdown below ascending support, however, would invalidate the pattern and delay any breakout scenario.
For now, the combination of improving market sentiment, steady accumulation, and a tightening ascending triangle suggests that WLFI is approaching a critical inflection point — one that could define its next major move as the new year unfolds.

Miners are no longer mining Bitcoin; they are selling electricity to AI.
Written by: Cathy, Plain Language Blockchain
Mining one Bitcoin costs $87,000. When sold, the market only pays you $67,000.
For each Bitcoin mined, you net a loss of $20,000. It’s not just losing on fees or electricity fluctuations; it’s a solid loss—losing $20,000 for every Bitcoin produced. This is the reality in March 2026. Data from Glassnode and MacroMicro both point to the same conclusion: Bitcoin mining, at current prices, is a losing business.
But miners aren’t just sitting around waiting to die. They’ve made a choice that the entire market didn’t expect—they’re stopping mining and selling electricity to AI.
Specifically, it’s not “stopping mining,” but rather emptying the Bitcoin treasury and pouring all funds into AI data centers, relegating mining to a side gig.

Trump says Iran war is almost over, BTC needs to hold $70,000. What do technicals say?
U.S. President Trump stated on March 10th that the Iran war is "almost over," leading to a cooling of geopolitical risk sentiment and driving cryptocurrencies like BTC to reverse and break above $70,000. Market expectations for the end date of the war have significantly increased, and risk assets are generally rising. Reflecting on the airstrike on February 28th, the market had wiped out $12.8 billion, and most indicators remain neutral with a key resistance at $74,000. Noticing that oil prices have fallen below $100, which may further support risk assets. Today's U.S. CPI data will influence market sentiment.

Bitcoin faces short-term pressure approaching $70,000 ahead of US CPI data release
On March 11, Bitcoin price dropped over 2% due to market cautiousness. Economists expect US CPI data to be slightly higher than last month, although this data does not reflect the impact of rising oil prices, and Bitcoin's short-term response may remain stable. Tensions in the Middle East could lead to increased safe-haven demand. The market should pay attention to changes in key support and resistance levels to prepare for potential volatility.
