Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure After a brief bounce at the beginning of the week, Bitcoin and Ethereum are back to price levels not seen in weeks, reinforcing the momentum of the upward move. Amid this rebound, both leading crypto assets are displaying consistent growth underneath the surface. Rising Leverage Collide Bitcoin And Ethereum ReboundBitcoin and Ethereum's prices just shifted into a bullish state and are demonstrating more upside potential in the short term. The recent bounce in both assets is running into a new layer of complexity, as clearly observed in their Open Interest (OI) on cryptocurrency exchanges.

#Oil prices dipped modestly during Asian trading on Thursday as investors closely monitored diplomatic developments between the United States and Iran ahead of a critical ceasefire deadline set for April 21. West Texas Intermediate crude futures slipped 0.4% to $90.90 per barrel at around 19:42 ET, reflecting ongoing market caution. Traders remained on edge as peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran showed limited progress following weekend talks. President Donald Trump expressed cautious optimism, suggesting that additional discussions could occur within days and that a resolution to the conflict might be within reach. However, uncertainty persists as the U.S. simultaneously confirmed a full naval blockade against Iran move analysts say could complicate diplomatic efforts. Some relief came from reports indicating that several ships and oil tankers successfully navigated the Strait of Hormuz during the week. Additionally, Reuters reported that Iran may be open to permitting free passage on the Omani side of the strait as part of a potential peace agreement a a development that could ease supply concerns if confirmed. Despite a fragile ceasefire holding as of early Thursday, with no new military strikes reported since late last week, markets remained cautious. News that the U.S. was considering deploying over 10,000 additional troops to the region raised fresh fears of escalation.Crude oil had surged to $120 per barrel following the outbreak of hostilities in late February, but prices have since pulled back amid emergency reserve releases by major economies. Both the International Energy Agency and OPEC flagged softer global demand outlooks tied to war-related disruptions.

Crypto Kidnapping Surge: French Probe After €3M Ransom Case
French authorities are investigating a rise in crypto-linked kidnappings after a 74-year-old man from Voiron in Isère survived a violent 16-hour abduction in January 2026. Police said attackers stormed his home and forced him to contact his son while demanding cryptocurrency, believing the family held significant digital assets.

The incident forms part of a growing pattern of organized groups targeting individuals linked to crypto through data leaks and online tracking.

As per a local report, the victim, identified as Jean, told investigators that his kidnappers assaulted him repeatedly while trying to extract access codes from his son. Authorities confirmed the group demanded €3 million before police intervention ended the case.

Rising Violence in Crypto-Linked Kidnappings

Jean told investigators that the attackers used repeated violence over several hours, including threats, forced movement, and physical assault. He said they filmed him to pressure his son into paying a ransom.

However, no payment was made after the son confirmed he did not control large crypto funds. Police later arrested three suspects aged between 19 and 23 during the operation.

Investigators said the group acted under instructions from a remote coordinator believed to be based abroad. They added that the attackers were recruited through social media and operated as low-level executors.

Moreover, authorities linked the same operational pattern to at least twenty kidnappings between 2023 and 2025, with activity increasing sharply in 2026.
Organized Networks and Digital Targeting

Police analysis shows that structured criminal groups increasingly rely on online intelligence and leaked databases. Besides hacking activity, attackers study public profiles and financial indicators to identify potential targets. However, officials said many victims have no actual cryptocurrency holdings.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Approaches $79K Bitcoin is approaching a critical area where chart resistance near $79,000 to $80,000 meets a major short liquidation cluster around $76,500. That setup suggests $BTC could make one more push higher to clear nearby liquidity before facing renewed downside pressure.

On April 18, the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization announced the partial reopening of the country’s airspace, allowing selected international flights to resume transit operations.
According to reports, eastern airspace routes have been reopened first, enabling some overflights and limited airport activity to restart. However, aviation authorities emphasized that operations remain restricted and closely monitored due to ongoing security considerations.
The decision marks a cautious step toward restoring normal air traffic after weeks of disruption caused by regional tensions. The reopening is expected to ease pressure on global airlines, many of which were forced to take longer alternative routes, increasing travel time and operational costs.
Officials stressed that aviation safety remains the top priority, and further expansion of airspace access will depend on evolving conditions in the region.

Bitcoin’s $77K rally leaves bears bleeding with $585M shorts wiped
Bitcoin’s fresh rally is raising a strange contradiction in the market. It is printing green indexes while sentiment refuses to follow. $BTC managed to breach the $77,000 for the first time in 11 weeks, but bears’ bets dominated the liquidations.

The global crypto market cap surged by almost 3% over the last 24 hours. It currently hovers around $2.61 trillion. The digital assets market’s 24-hour trading volume spiked by 12% to hit $172 billion. This suggests that traders are speeding up their positions.

CoinGlass data shows that more than 164,835 traders were liquidated in the last 24 hours. The total liquidations went on to hit $747.81 million. However, the largest single wipeout came from a $BTC/USD trade worth $15.75 million on Hyperliquid.

Bitcoin rally triggers Short Squeeze?

Bears were seen bleeding as more than 78% of the liquidated positions turned out to be short bets. More than $585 million worth of short bets were liquidated in the period. Data shows that Bitcoin itself accounted for around $378 million of the total liquidations. Over 91% of the liquidated positions ($344 million) turned out to be short bets. This suggests that traders were hoping for Bitcoin price to remain low or fall, however, $BTC price jumped by more than 3% in the last 24 hours to peek $78,000.

Yet even as bears bleed, conviction hasn’t flipped. Funding rates for perpetual futures remain negative. This signals that leveraged traders are still betting against the rally. This bearish positioning has now persisted for roughly 46 consecutive days. This is reportedly one of the longest such stretches since the collapse of FTX in 2022.

Markets have already started to show signs of those squeeze patterns. Bitcoin price pump came alongside a broader risk-on shift across global markets. Positive comments from the US and Iran have pushed the m
