As Bitcoin faces resistance and the broader cryptocurrency market trades within established ranges, several low-priced digital assets are drawing attention from traders seeking potential gains in March. The market is experiencing volatility following a difficult 2026, with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service's tax refund season potentially creating buying pressure for lower-priced tokens, according to market observers.
VeChain (VET), trading below $0.10, has a relative strength index (RSI) in neutral territory. The blockchain project is implementing a network upgrade stemming from the StarGate upgrade to its staking system, with a critical March 15 deadline for legacy node migration. Technical analysis identifies key support around $0.0070–$0.0072 and resistance near $0.0082–$0.0089.
Hedera (HBAR) consolidates just under $0.10, having reduced its year-to-date losses following a decline in early February. The platform's real-world asset tokenization narrative was recently strengthened by FedEx joining the Hedera Council. Support is seen around $0.08–$0.09, with resistance near $0.11.
Dogecoin (DOGE) has reclaimed the $0.10 level, jumping 8% in 24 hours to an intraday peak of $0.1057. The surge is attributed to capital rotation into the meme coin sector and a short squeeze. Analysts note that DOGE's performance in March may depend on the price action of larger cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, with stability potentially supporting interest in more volatile tokens. Targets are seen at $0.11–$0.16 into March 2026.
Concurrently, institutional appetite appears to be recovering. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $506.51 million single-day net inflow on February 25, a strong resurgence after weeks of low demand, with BlackRock accounting for over 58% of the inflow. Furthermore, Singapore-based exchange Bitrue reported a 212% increase in XRP spot purchase volumes between February 23-24, outpacing sell orders by more than two to one, a trend linked to ongoing institutional accumulation since the launch of XRP ETFs.
