On April 17, Bitcoin was temporarily priced at $74,700, down 0.4% in 24 hours. News of a ceasefire negotiation between the U.S. and Iran boosted risk sentiment, leading the S&P 500 index to reach a record high for the week. Trump stated that the prospects for a permanent ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran 'look very optimistic,' claiming that Iran has agreed to abandon its nuclear ambitions, hand over nuclear materials, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, although Iran has not confirmed these concessions.

Meanwhile, the market is closely monitoring structural signals behind Bitcoin's price movements. ZeroStack CEO Daniel Reis-Faria noted, 'The funding rate is so negative that it indicates a heavily shorted market. If Bitcoin continues to rise in this context, a large number of short positions may be forced to liquidate, accelerating the price upward.' He predicts that if the short base is squeezed out, Bitcoin could reach $125,000 within the next 30 to 60 days.

On-chain analyst CryptoVizArt provided another perspective: the 'True Market Mean' (TMM) for Bitcoin shows that the average holding cost for active holders is currently above the market price, indicating that holders are overall at a loss. Since 2016, consistently falling below this mean has often coincided with Bitcoin's most severe downturns, including the bear market from 2018 to 2019 (with a maximum decline of 57% over 282 days) and the downturn following the Luna and FTX collapses from 2022 to 2023 (with a maximum decline of 56% over 339 days).

Analysts point out that these two assessments are not mutually exclusive—the short squeeze triggered by the extremely negative funding rate and the structural pressure of overall losses among active holders can coexist. The former may trigger a significant rise, but ultimately, it could be absorbed by selling from the latter. The future market direction may depend on whether the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran can be sustained after its expiration next week.

According to monitoring by Dongcha Beating, Salesforce unveiled Headless 360 at the TDX Developer Conference, opening up the core capabilities of the entire platform as APIs, MCP tools, and CLI commands. This allows AI agents to directly access enterprise data, workflows, and business logic without needing to open the Salesforce backend. Over 100 capabilities are available today, including more than 60 MCP tools and 30 pre-configured development skills, which can integrate with external programming agents like Claude Code and Cursor. This shift resembles more of an architectural transformation than a simple product update. Salesforce has already defaulted the main entry point for enterprise software from its own website to platforms like Slack, ChatGPT, and Claude, focusing on maintaining the underlying enterprise context, permissions, and processes. Headless 360 also launched the Experience Layer, rendering the same set of interactive components across different interfaces such as Slack, mobile, and ChatGPT. Additionally, governance tools like Testing Center, Custom Scoring Evals, and A/B Testing have been introduced. Salesforce also stated that the DevOps Center MCP can consolidate the build process, which previously required switching between four tools, into a single experience, potentially reducing the development cycle by up to 40%.

According to Beating Monitoring, Cloudflare announced the public beta of its Email Service during "Agents Week," with a key change allowing AI agents to communicate bidirectionally via email with anyone. Previously, Cloudflare's Email Routing had been available for free for years, supporting email reception, but agents could only reply synchronously or send messages to members within Cloudflare accounts. After the public beta of Email Sending, agents can handle tasks asynchronously before replying, proactively send emails, and schedule follow-ups, with recipients not needing to install any applications or SDKs. Technically, developers can send emails directly using Cloudflare Workers without managing API keys. Email authentication records such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are automatically configured when adding a domain. Additionally, REST API and TypeScript, Python, and Go SDKs are provided for agents not on the Cloudflare platform. The onEmail hook of the Cloudflare Agents SDK is responsible for receiving and parsing emails, and a routing mechanism based on addresses automatically dispatches different addresses (e.g., support@, sales@) under the same domain to different agent instances. Reply routing uses HMAC-SHA256 signatures to prevent attackers from spoofing email headers and directing replies to incorrect agent instances. Email is the most widely used communication protocol globally, requiring no client installation or specific platform access, making it a natural channel for AI agents to interact with the external world. Cloudflare also released a supporting toolchain: the Email MCP server allows external agents (like Claude Code, Cursor) to send emails via natural language prompts; the Wrangler CLI has added email commands; and an open-source "Agentic Inbox" reference application integrates email conversation threads, attachment storage, automatic replies, and a built-in MCP server, enabling developers to deploy it with one click for immediate use or customization.

According to Beating monitoring, Silicon Valley brain-computer interface startup Sabi has emerged from stealth mode and plans to launch a non-invasive EEG device in the form of a beanie by the end of this year. Sabi CEO Rahul Chhabra told Wired that the device aims to directly convert users' internal language into on-screen text, with the first version targeting an input speed of about 30 words per minute. The hat will be equipped with 70,000 to 100,000 micro-sensors. This approach is appealing. While implanted brain-computer interfaces can capture stronger signals, they are difficult to mainstream. Sabi aims to take a different route, using higher-density wearable sensors to create a usable input method that allows users to 'think and type.' The challenges are clear. A 2025 systematic review noted that EEG-based imagined speech decoding is still in its early stages, primarily hindered by four issues: small datasets, inconsistent experimental methods, excessive interference, and the difficulty of stably decoding continuous natural speech. Another 2025 paper from Frontiers, while able to synthesize speech using EEG, only had a vocabulary of four Chinese disyllabic words, with the authors acknowledging that generalization to new subjects remains a challenge. Therefore, Sabi's direction is not unreasonable, but its timeline is aggressive. It currently resembles a technology path worth tracking rather than a consumer product ready for delivery by year-end. The next steps to watch will be public demos, third-party testing, and whether it can operate stably for different users without frequent recalibration.

On April 17, UBS strategists stated that they believe US stocks still have room for growth in the next year, thanks to strong corporate profit growth and a robust US economy. Currently, US stocks have entered a new earnings season. UBS expects that profits of S&P 500 companies will grow by about 17% in the first quarter of this year, marking the fastest growth rate since the fourth quarter of 2021. UBS attributes this strong corporate profit growth to the broad growth momentum of the US economy, particularly driven by strong demand for semiconductors related to artificial intelligence infrastructure spending. Additionally, UBS anticipates that the financial and materials sectors will achieve above-average growth and noted that 'actual results are likely to exceed expectations.' The bank pointed out that the corporate earnings reported so far have shown little evidence of negative impacts from the conflict in Iran. (Dongxin News Agency)

According to former head of technical crypto advisory at Elliptic, Tara Annison, crime in the world of Web3 is moving away from Bitcoin and towards stablecoins, while ponzi schemes continue to be prevalent. Criminals are now using dollar-denominated assets like USD Coin (USDC) as they are easily accessible and can be laundered through decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
