A widely followed analyst is warning that Bitcoin (BTC) may be mirroring a 2014 bear market pattern with its latest rally.The analyst pseudonymously known as Rekt Capital tells his 560,700 followers on X that Bitcoin could rally 10% from its current value before collapsing based on historical precedence.“What we are seeing now is more akin to the 2014 macro [descending] triangle, where price is consolidating beneath the triangle base (orange). If Bitcoin continues to mirror 2014 then price could still continue to consolidate a bit more, but the base of its current triangle (~$82,500) would be the ceiling for Bitcoin.” The analyst also says that if Bitcoin forms a new consolidation phase after correcting it would indicate a bear market bottom is forming based on the 2014 pattern.“Bitcoin tends to build major consolidation periods on breakdowns from macro triangles (orange boxes). In 2018 and 2022, these major consolidation periods developed at bear market bottoms. Whereas in 2014, Bitcoin built two such periods: just beneath the macro triangle it broke down from and then later at its respective bear market bottom. If history repeats, this current consolidation period could precede additional macro downside over time and the next major consolidation period would develop around the bear market bottom.” Bitcoin is trading for $74,733 at time of writing, flat on the day.Generated Image: Midjourney

BTC Hits $78K as Iran Declares Strait of Hormuz ‘Completely Open

Bitcoin is trading near $77,376 as of writing, pulling back slightly after briefly topping the $78,200 level earlier in the session. The move marks a modest retracement following a strong weekly gain of over 6%, as traders react to a mix of geopolitical headlines and technical resistance.


Geopolitical Headlines Drive Crypto Sentiment

Markets are closely tracking developments in the Middle East, with Iran announcing that the Strait of Hormuz is now “completely open” to commercial shipping during the ongoing ceasefire. That statement suggests a potential easing of global trade disruptions, which has broader implications for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.

At the same time, US President Donald Trump struck a different tone. He confirmed that the US naval blockade targeting Iranian ports will remain in place until a full agreement is reached. That contrast creates a layer of uncertainty. If one side signals openness while the other maintains pressure, where does that leave markets?

Traders appear to be weighing both outcomes. Optimism around a possible deal has supported risk appetite, yet conflicting signals have prevented a sustained breakout in Bitcoin

Don’t get AI agents and stablecoin transfers? Enroll in CoinDesk University

Have you had “deploy a stablecoin” and “build an AI agent” on your business to-do list since the beginning of the year?

You know these technologies will create business efficiencies, but finding the time to really get a grasp, a hands-on grasp, of these solutions has proved hard to find. You might even feel like you’re falling behind.

Not for long, you hard-working department head.

CoinDesk is launching the School of Stablecoins and Agentic Commerce at its upcoming Consensus 2026 conference, happening May 5-7 in Miami. These programs include interactive sessions with expert hosts leading you through the biggest cost-saving stablecoin use cases and the easiest implementations of AI agents that can lighten your workload and maybe even secure some big-time bets.

These sessions are for finance and product leaders, operators and entrepreneurs, and executive teams navigating what’s next.

Each workshop has plenty of complements on CoinDesk’s program of keynotes, fireside chats and panel discussions, allowing you to take the big picture insights and turn them into concrete tools you can take back to your team.

Take payments for example. During the “Stablecoins Go Global” panel discussion, you get inspired to adopt USDC in your business. But where do you practically start? “Setting Up a Stablecoin Wallet and Dashboard” hosted by Circle on the University workshop stage.

Or consider AI agents. After hearing the conversation at the “Agents Meet the Enterprise” panel, you want someone to give you a step-by-step tutorial on setting up OpenClaw and writing killer prompts that 10x your efficiency. We’ve got you covered.

Over the course of the three-day show, you’ll get workflow walkthroughs, product demos, and actionable insights for becoming your company’s crypto and AI guy or gal.

Worldcoin tanks 13% as World’s iris-scanning tech expands to Zoom, Docusign


Worldcoin fell 13.4% to roughly $0.28 on Friday as World, the identity-focused company led by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, unveiled several new integrations for its “proof of human” stack, which uses iris-scanning technology to verify identities.

Video conferencing tool Zoom is integrating World’s Deep Face authentication to prevent deepfakes, while electronic signature platform Docusign is adding World’s ID verification tech to digital agreements, World said on Friday. Dating app Tinder is also expanding its World ID verification to US users.

“As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of real people, the infrastructure to prove a human stands behind each agent becomes critical,” World said.

Alongside the surge in AI-generated content, deepfake technology has been used in increasingly sophisticated impersonation scams, helping fraudsters evade standard ID checks and deceive victims into handing over funds or sensitive data.

While biometric verification has been touted as a solution, critics warn that collecting data at scale raises privacy risks, particularly if controlled by a single company, and could lead to excessive surveillance if misused.

Worldcoin’s ($WLD) double-digit fall to $0.28 came as the broader crypto market rose 2.2% on news of the US and Iran easing tensions and opening up the Strait of Hormuz on Friday.

$WLD is the native cryptocurrency token of the World Network, used to reward users for verifying their unique identity and to enable transactions and participation within its ecosystem.
