Bitcoin Set For $88,000? Analysts Forecast May Breakout After Key Weekly Close
As the end of April approaches, some market observers suggest that Bitcoin (BTC) could be preparing to reclaim a crucial level in the coming days, potentially opening the door to another recovery rally next month.

Bitcoin Sees First Weekly Close Above Key Levels
Bitcoin has closed above a crucial level for the first time since January, setting the stage for a potential rally toward higher levels even though it failed to break through another resistance level.

Notably, the flagship crypto ended the week above $78,000, a level that was lost after the late January-early February market crash. Amid this close, BTC reclaimed the 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) in the weekly timeframe, one of the key barriers after the recent price jump.

In a world that increasingly feels like a casino, even the loudest critics are starting to reconsider their stance.
Donald Trump has recently softened his tone on prediction markets. Just days after raising concerns about their rapid growth, he acknowledged that “some very smart people” actually support them. It’s not a full endorsement—but it’s no longer outright rejection either.
And that shift matters.
Because this isn’t just about one opinion changing. It reflects a broader tension between skepticism and inevitability. Trump pointed directly to global competition, noting that if other countries continue advancing in this space while the U.S. holds back, it risks being “left out in the cold.”
That’s the real pressure point.
Platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi are already seeing explosive growth. Combined trading volume hit $23.6 billion in March alone, showing that demand isn’t theoretical—it’s active, global, and accelerating.
But where there’s growth, there’s friction.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission argues these event-based contracts fall under federal commodities law. Meanwhile, multiple U.S. states are pushing back, claiming these platforms are effectively offering unregulated gambling.
So what are prediction markets, really?
Financial instruments—or bets on real-world outcomes?
That question is now at the center of a growing legal battle.
At the same time, political and corporate interests are becoming harder to separate. With Trump-linked entities exploring involvement in this space, prediction markets are no longer just a niche experiment—they’re entering the mainstream conversation.
And that’s where the contradiction becomes clear:
On one hand, there’s discomfort with turning global events into tradable bets.
On the other, there’s fear of missing out on the next wave of financial innovation.

Shares in Microsoft (MSFT) stalled on Monday after the tech giant announced a re-model of its existing partnership with OpenAI.The amended long-term agreement will see Microsoft no longer have exclusive access to the AI startup’s intellectual property and AI models, while also altering its revenue-sharing deal. Microsoft continues to participate directly in OpenAI’s growth as a major shareholder, but there are several notable updates.According to a press release, Microsoft remains OpenAI’s primary cloud partner, and OpenAI products will ship first on Azure, unless Microsoft cannot and chooses not to support the necessary capabilities. Additionally, OpenAI can now serve all its products to customers across any cloud provider.While MSFT shares have stagnated after the OpenAI update, Wall Street bulls remain backing Microsoft stock. Most recently, Michael Burry is now bullish on Microsoft stock (MSFT) and disclosed his purchase in his Substack post. He confirmed that he initiated a new long position on MSFT, indicating that the equity has bigger potential. The timing of an entry position in Microsoft stock by Michael Burry is also deliberate, as software stocks were badly affected in Q1 of 2026 but managed to briefly rebound in Q2. Hence, the Wall Street legend suggests that post earnings, MSFT may be set for a significant rally.Also Read: Amazon Earnings Preview: The One Detail Investors Are Missing Ahead Of Q1Furthermore, Microsoft’s stock earnings are due on April 29, and right now that date carries more weight than any standard quarterly report. MSFT has climbed about 19% off its March lows and trades around $425 at the time of writing. Q2 FY2026 results landed January 28 with numbers that looked solid — $81.3 billion in revenue, up 17%, and Azure growing 39%.

Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz has defended an old XRP price discussion that has returned to attention on X.  Summary David Schwartz defended his 2017 XRP comments after fresh criticism from the crypto community. Schwartz said the old XRP post explained liquidity needs, not a future price target. His deleted Arbitrum posts added more attention to his recent explanations on X. The exchange followed criticism from a user who accused him of misleading the XRP community. The debate centered on a 2017 thread in which Schwartz discussed XRP liquidity and price levels. He said the comments were not meant to serve as an XRP price prediction. In the 2017 post, Schwartz argued that XRP could not be “dirt cheap” if it handled large global transaction volumes. He used a simple example to explain how liquidity needs could relate to transaction size. You might also like: Fed chair race progresses as Tillis backs Warsh following DOJ decision Schwartz wrote at the time, “It can’t be dirt cheap. That doesn’t make any sense.” He added that if XRP traded at $1, a user would need one million XRP to move $1 million. If XRP traded at $1 million, one XRP would move the same value. Ripple veteran rejects price prediction claims Schwartz said many users have taken the post as a promise of future XRP value. He pushed back on that reading and said the thread explained market mechanics, not a guaranteed price target. He said, “I think it’s very simple.” He added that some people still treat the post as proof that XRP was designed to have a high price. Schwartz said deleting the old thread could remove useful context and create more confusion. Arbitrum posts also face scrutiny The discussion came after Schwartz deleted separate posts about Arbitrum’s decision to freeze more than 30,000 ETH linked to the KelpDAO exploit. He had first defended the intervention and compared it

Terra Luna Classic jumps 18% – Will liquidation imbalance stall LUNC’s rally?

Terra Luna Classic [LUNC] surged 18.29% in 24 hours as trading volume jumped over 363% at press time, reflecting a sharp influx of market participation and aggressive trader positioning. This rise in activity showed that buyers stepped in with strong conviction rather than weak follow-through. 

As a result, the rally did not emerge in isolation but aligned with a surge in both spot and derivative interest. However, such rapid volume expansion often signals speculative inflows rather than stable accumulation. 

While price strength reflected growing interest, the pace of the move raised concerns about sustainability if participation failed to remain consistent across sessions.
