On April 16, CryptoQuant stated that Bitcoin's recent rebound is facing increasing selling pressure, as on-chain data shows a significant rise in funds flowing into exchanges. Bitcoin had previously broken through $76,000 but faced resistance and retreated near the key resistance range of about $76,800. This position corresponds to the 'on-chain realized price' range, which historically tends to become the peak of rebounds, as many investors with positions close to breakeven tend to sell. Data shows that the hourly inflow of Bitcoin into exchanges has risen to about 11,000 BTC, the highest level since the end of 2025, which is typically seen as a potential selling signal. Additionally, the scale of large holders (whales) transferring Bitcoin to exchanges is also increasing. Analysts believe that if this resistance level remains effective, Bitcoin may face short-term correction pressure, with key support around $67,600.

On April 16, Morgan Stanley Chief Financial Officer Sharon Yeshaya stated that tokenization and on-chain finance will be key evolutionary directions for its wealth management business. The company is envisioning a 'tokenized world' where client assets and liabilities can flow as efficiently as funds through blockchain infrastructure, thereby reshaping asset allocation, lending, and cash management methods. Unlike viewing crypto as a standalone business, Morgan Stanley plans to embed on-chain capabilities into its core service system, including investment advisory, financing, and liquidity management, to drive an overall upgrade of the financial architecture. This strategy has gradually been implemented through digital asset pilots with ZeroHash and products like Bitcoin ETFs. Although the current share of crypto business within the overall system is still small, its position in the future wealth management framework is rapidly increasing.

On April 16, the Federal Reserve stated that economic activity in most regions of the United States continues to grow at a moderate to slight pace, amid new uncertainties triggered by the war with Iran and rising energy costs. In the Beige Book released on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve noted that overall price increases remain moderate, but energy and fuel costs have 'significantly' risen across all 12 Federal Reserve districts. The Federal Reserve remarked, 'The conflict in the Middle East is viewed as a major source of uncertainty, complicating businesses' decisions regarding hiring, pricing, and capital investment, leading many companies to adopt a wait-and-see approach.' This report, compiled by the New York Fed, reflects the initial impact of the war on the U.S. economy, with data up to April 6. The oil price shock caused by the conflict has driven up gasoline prices, contributing to the largest inflation increase in the U.S. since 2022, recorded in March. Several Federal Reserve policymakers have signaled a preference to maintain stable interest rates for an extended period to assess economic data.
