Iran's Friday announcement that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened during the current ceasefire triggered one of the sharpest oil reversals of the year.

Brent crude fell 12.95% to $86.52, and WTI dropped 14.26% to $81.19, both their lowest levels since Mar. 11 and the largest single-day declines since Apr. 8. US stocks surged, bond yields dropped, the dollar weakened, and Bitcoin registered an intraday high of $78,336.

Traders stripped the war premium they had spent weeks layering into crude prices, and risk assets repriced accordingly.

Yesterday, the Strait was opened on Iranian terms. Commercial vessels required authorization from Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization and the IRGC and had to transit through Iran-designated safe lanes, but the US blockade on Iranian shipping remains fully in place until a broader diplomatic settlement.

That window has already narrowed. As of Apr. 18, Iran said it had closed the Strait again after the US left its blockade in place, pushing the market back into a countdown toward the Apr. 22 ceasefire deadline.

Only eight oil and gas tankers moved during the reopening, underscoring how far the route remains from anything resembling normal traffic.

Will Bitcoin’s Major Rally Continue? Here’s What the Experts Say

Cryptocurrency analysis platform Santiment assessed Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent rise to the $77,000 level and the overall market sentiment.

Santiment, an analytics company that closely tracks Bitcoin’s price movements, examined Bitcoin’s rise to the $77,000 level in its latest market assessment. Despite the price increase, the prevailing skeptical approach among investors is noteworthy.

According to the analysis, Bitcoin’s push to new highs hasn’t generated as much enthusiasm in the market as expected. On the contrary, many traders are skeptical about the sustainability of this rise. Santiment notes that this skeptical atmosphere in the market could actually create a healthy foundation for the continuation of the rally.

The question of “Has the bottom been reached?” remains a major topic of discussion among market participants. Santiment experts state that conversations on social media platforms and on-chain data indicate that investors are still expecting a major correction. Historically, periods of skepticism often coincide with phases of sustained price increases.

It is noted that the continued low supply of Bitcoin on exchanges is reducing selling pressure. In particular, the fact that whales are not aggressively selling at current levels is interpreted as a signal that long-term confidence is being maintained.

According to Santiment, this “skepticism” that emerged during Bitcoin’s $77,000 rally indicates that the market hasn’t overheated yet. If this cautious stance continues among investors instead of FOMO (fear of missing out), Bitcoin’s potential to test higher levels could strengthen.

Ethereum is quietly positioning to outperform Bitcoin in 2026.

Analysts and on-chain metrics show ETH gaining ground: record Q1 transactions, Glamsterdam upgrade incoming, exploding RWA/tokenized asset growth ($27.6B market), and staking yields.
Why it feels real: ETH/BTC ratio is showing early bullish divergence, and institutions are rotating into utility plays after BTC’s run.
These are the ones with actual smoke (filings, investments, scheduled events) rather than pure hopium. Markets love to “buy the rumor, sell the news,” so volatility around these is expected. 2026 could be the year of ETH 👀

XRP May Drop Further, But Here's What Truly Matters: Black Swan Capitalist Founder Black Swan Capitalist Founder Versan Aljarrah challenges the market's fixation on short-term XRP price predictions.

In a detailed X post, he argues that investors are asking the wrong question about XRP's price action. Rather than focusing on whether XRP will drop further in the short term, he urges investors to analyze liquidity cycles, macroeconomic forces, and XRP's long-term role in financial infrastructure.

XRP Price Volatility Falls to Multi-Year Lows, Setting Up a Potential Major Move

XRP price is trading just above $1.40, pinned in a $1.30–$1.45 range with almost nothing happening – and that’s exactly what makes this setup worth watching.

The asset’s 30-day Realized Volatility Index has collapsed to approximately 0.42, its lowest reading since 2024, a quantifiable compression that historically precedes sharp directional moves rather than continued silence.

The price sounds stable until you frame it against where XRP came from. After peaking above $3.00 in mid-2025, a sequence of lower highs and lower lows defined the following months, culminating in a capitulation event in early February 2026, a significant volume spike that flushed weaker hands and reset positioning.



XRP Price Volatility Falls to Multi-Year Lows, Set

Okay, that's going to be hands down the best call of the last few weeks. Not sure how many times I posted about how bullish this looked, and now it's 150% higher, flying in the blue sky of price disco

Congresswoman Biggs discloses six-figure BlackRock bitcoin ETF buy as BTC rebounds

U.S. Representative Sheri Biggs disclosed a purchase of up to $250,000 in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF.

The filing reportedly ranks among the largest bitcoin-related trades reported by an active member of Congress.
Rep. Sheri Biggs has disclosed a purchase of up to $250,000 in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, one of the largest bitcoin-related trades publicly reported by an active member of Congress.

A House periodic transaction report filed this week shows Biggs’ spouse purchased shares of the fund on March 4 in the $100,001 to $250,000 range through a professionally managed UBS account held in the W.S.B Trust.

The fund, known by its ticker IBIT, is BlackRock’s spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund, which directly tracks the price of Bitcoin.
Unlike an earlier disclosure tied to a similar purchase last year, the latest filing appears to comply with the STOCK Act’s 45-day reporting window. The March 4 trade was disclosed on April 16, 43 days later.

Biggs previously reported another IBIT purchase in the same dollar range tied to a July 2025 transaction. That filing was submitted late as part of a broader batch of delayed disclosures that drew scrutiny over congressional trading transparency, Yahoo Finance reported at the time.

No allegation of wrongdoing has been made in either case, and the latest filing states the account is professionally managed.
