Renowned Analyst Benjamin Cowen Issued a Warning Despite Bitcoin’s Rise

In his latest video, Benjamin Cowen, a leading analyst in the cryptocurrency market, evaluated Bitcoin’s current price movements using historical data and “seasonality.”

Analyzing Bitcoin’s return to the $77,000 level, Cowen warned investors about potential weakness in the coming weeks.

Cowen noted that Bitcoin’s current trajectory bears striking similarities to the “US midterm election years” cycles of 2018 and 2022. According to the analyst, Bitcoin hit a low of $60,000 in February, followed by a higher low in late March and early April.

However, Cowen argued that this was not an absolute bullish signal, but rather that “time-based capitulation” within a bear market was more significant than price-based decline.

One of the most striking points in the analysis was the risks projected for late April and early May. Cowen predicts that Bitcoin could reach a local peak at the end of April, similar to 2018, and then decline again at the beginning of May after sweeping that high.

The Fed meeting on April 29th stands out as one of the biggest risk factors for the markets. Bitcoin is currently facing resistance at the 100-day moving average. If this level is breached, the next major resistance point is expected to be the 200-day moving average.

Cowen stated that tracking USDT and USDC dominance is critical for understanding market direction, and noted that stablecoin dominance finds support at the 100-day moving average.

This suggests that the tendency for investors to move risky assets (like Bitcoin) to cash remains strong, and Bitcoin could retest the $60,000 level later this year.

Benjamin Cowen says Bitcoin is highly likely to be rejected from the bear market resistance band, and a true bottom can only b

SEC charges Donald Basile in $16M crypto fraud tied to ‘insured’ token

The US Securities and Exchange Commission has filed a lawsuit against crypto executive Donald Basile, accusing him and two companies he controlled of raising about $16 million from investors through false claims tied to a so-called “insured” crypto token known as Bitcoin Latinum.

In a complaint filed Friday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the SEC alleged that Basile ran the scheme between March and December 2021 through Monsoon Blockchain Corp. and GIBF GP Inc., offering investors Simple Agreements for Future Tokens (SAFTs) that promised future delivery of the token, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal.

Regulators said hundreds of investors were told the asset was backed and insured, but the SEC alleged no insurance company ever provided coverage or any proof that these claims were true, per the report.

The case marks one of the few SEC enforcement actions under the Trump administration, which has signaled a more crypto-friendly regulatory stance compared to previous administrations.

Australia's labor market demonstrated resilience in March 2026, with employment figures rising broadly in line with analyst expectations. Data released Thursday by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) revealed a net increase of 17,900 jobs during the month, following a revised gain of 49,600 positions in February. The result closely matched market forecasts calling for a trend-consistent rise of around 20,000 jobs, signaling continued stability in the country's workforce. A key highlight from the latest ABS release was the strong rebound in full-time employment, which surged by 52,500 positions after a notable decline the previous month. This shift toward full-time work is widely regarded as a positive indicator of employer confidence, suggesting that Australian businesses are committing to longer-term staffing arrangements rather than relying on casual or part-time arrangements to fill workforce gaps.Australia's unemployment rate remained steady at 4.3% for the month, consistent with what economists had projected. This level of joblessness reflects a labor market that, despite global economic headwinds, continues to hold up well. The participation rate edged slightly lower to 66.8% from 66.9%, indicating a marginal reduction in the share of the working-age population either employed or actively seeking work. While the dip is modest, analysts will monitor whether this trend continues in coming months. Adding to the broadly positive picture, total hours worked climbed by 0.5% over the period, pointing to increased productivity and workforce engagement across industries. Taken together, the March employment data paints a picture of an Australian job market that remains fundamentally sound.

Райан Киркли: От нефти до биткоина: изменения на рынках на фоне новостей об Ормузском проливе

ВАШИНГТОН — Криптовалютные рынки резко выросли, а нефтяные трейдеры перестроили свои стратегии после сигналов о возобновлении работы Ормузского пролива, несмотря на сохраняющуюся военную напряженность и политические противоречия.

Хотя фондовый рынок отреагировал медленнее, аналитики говорят, что расхождение отражает то, как разные части глобальной финансовой системы обрабатывают риски и ликвидность.

Райан Киркли, генеральный директор компании Global Settlement Network, занимающейся блокчейн-платежами

В интервью RFE/RL 17 апреля Райан Киркли, генеральный директор компании Global Settlement Network, занимающейся блокчейн-платежами, объясняет мировое экономическое значение Ормузского пролива, почему рынки движутся с разной скоростью и почему цены на нефть, возможно, уже начинают меняться.

RFE/RL: Давайте начнем с простого. Почему Ормузский пролив так важен для мирового рынка?


 Райан Киркли: Мы видим, что примерно 20 процентов всей нефти и почти 30 процентов нефтепродуктов проходят через Ормузский пролив. Даже небольшое нарушение нарушает глобальные цепочки поставок, от фармацевтики и сельского хозяйства до авиационного топлива и энергии, питающей сети по всему миру.

В тот момент, когда этот поток прерывается, мы начинаем наблюдать, как страны начинают испытывать трудности, экономика ослабевает, и целые отрасли оказываются под сильным давлением. В действительности, Ормузский пролив затрагивает почти все сферы мировой экономики.

RFE/RL: Одна из отраслей, которая быстро отреагировала на последние события, — это криптовалюта. Почему биткоин вдруг стал частью этого обсуждения?

Киркли: Биткоин всегда был частью этого обсуждения в контексте Ирана. Многие не осознают, что Иран занимает значительную долю в мировом майнинге биткоинов.

Those features can help XRPL win pilots, and production flows from firms that will not touch open, permissionless order books.

However, the value-capture question does not disappear. Permissioned venues can settle stablecoin to stablecoin. They can clear tokenized funds in issued units. They can use XRPL as rails while minimizing exposure to XRP, unless the venue’s liquidity model, quoting conventions, and routing paths put XRP at the center.

This is why the distinction between XRPL as infrastructure and XRP as money keeps returning.

Three of America’s largest banks are writing off a combined $5.6 billion in bad loans in the first quarter as US credit card debt climbs to a new record high.According to first-quarter earnings reports, JPMorgan Chase recorded $2.3 billion in net charge-offs, Citigroup posted $2.2 billion of net credit losses, and Wells Fargo reported $1.106 billion of net charge-offs in the first three months of 2026.JPMorgan said firmwide credit costs totaled $2.5 billion, including the $2.3 billion in net charge-offs while Citigroup said its U.S. Personal Banking business recorded a $2.1 billion provision for credit losses, including $1.742 billion of net credit losses in U.S. branded cards and retail services. Other Citi businesses also added to the company’s total net credit losses.Despite the bad loans, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says the US economy is remaining resilient.“The U.S. economy remained resilient in the quarter, with consumers still earning and spending and businesses still healthy. Several tailwinds are supporting this resiliency, including increased fiscal stimulus, the benefits of deregulation, AI-driven capital investment and the Fed’s asset purchases. At the same time, there is an increasingly complex set of risks – such as geopolitical tensions and wars, energy price volatility, trade uncertainty, large global fiscal deficits and elevated asset prices. While we cannot predict how these risks and uncertainties will ultimately play out, they are significant and they reinforce why we prepare the Firm for a wide range of environments.”Wells Fargo said its $1.106 billion in net charge-offs came as its provision for credit losses reached $1.135 billion.Furthermore, data from the U.S. Federal Reserve shows consumer credit card and other revolving loans at all commercial banks hit $1.083 trillion for the week ending April 1, 2026, up from $1.

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is starting to look like a financial back end that traditional finance can adopt without changing itself too much.

This is because tokenized funds can sit on the ledger, and stablecoins can move across it. At the same time, protocol upgrades keep landing, including features designed for institutions that want on-chain settlement without open access to every counterparty.

Ethereum price climbed to an intraday high of $2,375 on Friday as Ethereum ETFs continued to draw steady institutional interest. Summary Ethereum price climbs to $2,375 as spot ETFs extend inflow streak to six days, drawing nearly $300 million and signaling renewed institutional demand. Improving macro sentiment, including easing U.S.-Iran tensions, and continued whale accumulation are strengthening bullish expectations. ETH nears a breakout above $2,400, with technical indicators pointing to a move toward $2,600, while $2,200 remains key downside support. According to data from crypto.news, Ethereum (ETH) price was trading at $2,375 last check on Friday, April 17. The largest altcoin in the market was up 1% over the past 24 hours and up over 7% in the past 7 days. Ethereum price rallied as institutional investors continue to show steady demand for the token. According to data from SoSoValue, the 10 U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $18 million in net inflows on April 16, led by BlackRock’s ETHA. Notably, these institutional products experienced back-to-back inflows for the sixth straight trading day, drawing in nearly $300 million in the period. Although the flows have been moderate in nature when compared to the beginning of the year, when these products drew in over $100 million a day, they suggest that institutional investors are starting to accumulate the asset with renewed confidence.
