Bitcoin Maintains Bearish Tone, HYPE Pulls Back for Accumulation at the Right Time | Guest Analysis

In this market analysis, analyst Cody from Odaily provides a technical outlook for Bitcoin (BTC) and the HYPE token. For **HYPE**, the analysis identifies a five-wave Elliott Wave structure on the daily chart, suggesting the asset is currently in a potential Wave V upward move starting from the April 2nd low of $34.44. Short-term 4-hour charts indicate the token is in an overbought state, signaling a need for a pullback or consolidation. The strategy for the week is to "go with the trend and buy on dips," specifically looking for a potential long entry if the price finds support and stabilizes in the $37.5 - $38 range. Two recent 1x leveraged long trades were highlighted, resulting in a combined profit of approximately 9.02%. For **Bitcoin**, the medium-term outlook remains bearish. A core 60% short position, opened at $89,000, is still being held with a profit of about 20.51% at the time of writing. The price is expected to continue wide-range volatility between $65,000 and $74,000. The 4-hour chart shows BTC is overbought and facing resistance near $74,500, suggesting a high probability of a short-term pullback. Three short-selling strategies are proposed for the week: selling on a rally to the $74.5K-$76K resistance zone (Plan A), a small short on a break below $69,000 support (Plan B), and a larger short on a break below the key $65,000 support level (Plan C). The analyst emphasizes strict risk management, including setting initial stop-losses immediately upon entry and trailing them to lock in profits.

From Failing to Start a Hedge Fund Before the Financial Crisis to Managing Trillions in Assets: BlackRock's Global Fixed Income CIO Shares Investment Philosophy

Rick Rieder, BlackRock's Global Chief Investment Officer of Fixed Income, shared key investment principles on the "Hard Lessons" podcast. He helps oversee $2.7 trillion in assets and emphasized the importance of non-consensus thinking, rigorous research, and risk management. Rieder believes markets are often irrational and inefficient, creating opportunities for contrarian investors. He advocates for deep, independent analysis—especially in technology—where he looks for transformative potential and scalable business models. However, he stresses that being right only 60-70% of the time is sufficient if risks are well-managed. He highlighted painful lessons from past failures, including a hedge fund launch just before the 2008 financial crisis, which taught him to prioritize liquidity, avoid excessive leverage, and always plan exit strategies. For Rieder, managing position sizes and staying diversified are critical to surviving extreme market events. He also values assessing management quality when investing in companies, noting that leadership adaptability is crucial for long-term success.

Is April 13 The Best Time To Buy Bitcoin? Analyst Shares The Best Strategy For Getting The Most Profits

A crypto analyst known as Mags has proposed a disciplined long-term investment strategy for Bitcoin, called the "500-day Bitcoin strategy," rather than recommending short-term entry points like April 13. The approach involves buying BTC exactly 500 days before a halving event, holding through market fluctuations, and selling 500 days later to capture significant gains. Mags points to January 13, 2027, as the next optimal entry date, ahead of the expected May 2028 halving. Historical data from previous cycles shows this strategy allowed investors to buy near cycle lows and sell near peaks—for example, purchasing between $3,000–$5,000 before the 2020 halving and selling above $69,000. The most recent sell signal occurred on August 24, 2025, near $109,000, allowing investors to secure substantial profits before the subsequent 45% decline. The strategy is designed to minimize emotional trading and maximize returns over full market cycles.

How Can an Average Person Identify if a Token Has a Whale Behind It in 10 Minutes?

This article argues that identifying whether a token has a "whale" (a large, controlling holder) is the wrong question, as all successful tokens have them. The key is determining the whale's current phase: accumulation, markup (pumping), distribution (dumping), or having already exited. It provides a framework using on-chain and off-chain signals to identify these phases. Key on-chain metrics include: analyzing linked wallets to find true concentration, not just top holders; checking if trading volume is real or fake based on volume/holder ratio; monitoring DEX liquidity pool changes; analyzing trade volume concentration and net buy volume; and comparing price action to holder growth rates to pinpoint the whale's phase. The core thesis is that whales are not a bug but a fundamental feature of the market; concentrated筹码 (chips/tokens) and capital are prerequisites for a pump. The structural disadvantage for retail is being "long-only"—entering at high prices with no safety net, making them vulnerable. The article proposes that decentralized shorting mechanisms could be a solution, allowing retail to profit from correctly identifying distribution phases and breaking the whale's monopoly on price control. However, shorting carries extreme risks like unlimited losses and being squeezed. It is framed not as a guarantee of profits but as a necessary tool for "symmetrical armament," allowing retail to participate in two-way betting and transition from being "prey" to a "hunter" on the playing field.

Trump's Playbook: Now Entering Step Nine

The Kobeissi Letter reports that the U.S.-Iran-Israel two-week ceasefire agreement announced by Trump marks the arrival of Step 9 in a recurring "conflict playbook"—agreement and narrative framing. This follows a consistent pattern in Trump’s negotiation strategy: escalating pressure to force concessions, followed by a transactional resolution. The announcement, similar to the 90-day tariff pause in April 2025, signals a potential final deal involving regional security frameworks or sanctions relief tied to compliance. Step 10—violent market repricing—is expected in the coming weeks. Defensive positioning, including elevated energy exposure and compressed equity risk, may lead to rapid unwinding, causing a sharp rally in stocks and a drop in oil prices due to eased supply concerns. Historical precedents (April and August 2025, January 2026) show such announcements trigger abrupt, concentrated market moves. Pattern recognition remains highly profitable in this environment.

Bitcoin's Short-Term Volatility Fails to Alter Medium-Term Bearish Trend; HYPE Presents Another Buying Opportunity | Invited Analysis

Bitcoin (BTC) continues its short-term consolidation within a range, while the medium-term bearish trend remains intact. HYPE shows signs of completing its Wave IV correction, presenting a potential long opportunity. Last week, BTC saw a 2.45% gain on a short-term short trade and a 22.43% profit on an ongoing medium-term short position initiated at $89,000. For HYPE, technical analysis indicates its Wave IV adjustment is nearing completion in both time and price. A daily bottom pattern is strengthening, and quantitative models have triggered bottom warnings. The strategy is to go long on HYPE with 30% capital, looking for a breakout above $38 and a confirmed pullback support at $34.47. BTC is expected to trade between $65,000 and $69,500 this week. A break above $69,500 could lead to a wider range up to $72,000, while a drop below $65,000 may target the $60,000-$62,500 support zone. The medium-term bearish outlook persists; the strategy is to hold the current short position and consider new shorts on rebounds toward $69,500-$72,000 or a break below $65,000.

South Korea's Crypto Market Shake-Up: How Should Traders View It?

South Korea's crypto market is experiencing significant turbulence following a six-month partial business suspension of its second-largest exchange, Bithumb. This event is widely underestimated globally and is not merely a compliance issue; it disrupts the competitive price discovery mechanism in a market where Upbit and Bithumb collectively hold 96% share. A critical structural information asymmetry exists due to language barriers and capital controls. Local political or regulatory shocks—like the 30% BTC crash in December 2024 after martial law was declared, while global markets fell only 2%—often trigger localized tremors first. This creates brief, highly profitable arbitrage windows for those with access to real-time Korean-language information. The "Kimchi Premium," the price gap between KRW and USD crypto pairs, is frequently misread. It is not just a retail sentiment indicator but a gauge of structural capital friction. Historically, this premium has a non-zero floor of about 1.24% due to capital controls, and its contraction often signals shifts in deeper capital pressures rather than a simple return to normality. Bithumb's suspension is accelerating liquidity concentration into Upbit, increasing systemic risk. Extreme price dislocations, like a 17% flash crash in February 2026 caused by a Bithumb operational error, become more likely and destructive in an overly centralized market. The core conclusion is that this structural information asymmetry will persist. The pro-crypto policies of the new government are driving institutional capital inflows while retail infrastructure tightens, continuously creating fleeting but substantial arbitrage (Alpha) opportunities. The key for global traders is to monitor local Korean signals and build infrastructure to act on them faster than the broader market.

MSX Q1 Review and Q2 Outlook: Securing the Main Trends in U.S. Stocks, A Methodology for Precise Stock Selection

MSX Q1 Review & Q2 Outlook: Capturing the U.S. Stock Market Trends and a Precision Stock Selection Methodology In Q1 2026, the crypto market performed poorly, with Bitcoin falling about 23%, marking its worst quarterly start since 2018. In contrast, the U.S. stock market, despite significant drops in the "Magnificent Seven," still saw profitable opportunities in rapidly rotating hot sectors. The decentralized RWA trading platform MSX listed 39 new U.S. stock tokenized assets, covering five main themes: aerospace/defense, energy/resources, AI hardware, optical communications, and regional allocation tools. Among these, 38 achieved positive returns, with an average gain of 37.6%. Four stocks more than doubled, all concentrated in AI hardware and optical communications. MSX's stock selection framework focuses on identifying companies with clear industrial trends, tangible order flows, and earnings validation, rather than speculative narratives. The platform avoids high-risk bets on large-cap reversals, instead targeting small and mid-cap stocks benefiting from real capital expenditure and supply chain expansion. In Q1, the five main themes were identified through continuous tracking of corporate earnings, capex guidance, and capital flow dynamics—not macro forecasts alone. AI hardware and optical communications were confirmed as systemic opportunities based on actual order transfers and infrastructure demand from big tech's expanding data centers. Although aerospace/defense and regional tools had modest gains, they provided portfolio diversification and non-correlated hedges, enhancing structural resilience. MSX's listing节奏 was dynamically adjusted based on market signals and industrial data rather than pre-set schedules. Looking ahead, Q2 may see a continuation of the AI narrative but with increased selectivity. Aerospace and undervalued software/SaaS sectors present new opportunities. MSX emphasizes a balanced approach: maintaining core exposure to high-conviction AI infrastructure plays while incorporating defensive assets like energy and tools to navigate macro uncertainties, including interest rate paths and geopolitical risks. The platform aims to help users, especially those from crypto backgrounds, build robust, multi-asset strategies through education and thematic investing tools.

Hyperliquid: Should HYPE investors wait as price nears $32 zone?

Hyperliquid (HYPE) has continued its short-term downtrend, falling below the key $37 support level on April 2nd. Despite previous bounces, none of the recent rebounds were strong enough to push the price toward the local high of $43.7. The broader market sentiment remains pessimistic, with Bitcoin and other altcoins also facing selling pressure. The long-term structure, however, remains bullish. HYPE experienced a significant rally in 2025, nearly reaching $60, before pulling back to $20 by year-end. The recent rise to $43.7 is considered part of a new bullish wave, with the current retracement viewed as a temporary setback. Key Fibonacci retracement levels suggest further potential declines toward the $29.5–$32.44 zone, which long-term buyers are eyeing as a demand area. Technical indicators, including the RSI below 50 and a negative CMF reading of -0.15, reflect bearish momentum and capital outflows. Traders are advised to wait rather than rush into buying. A move above $41.59 would invalidate the current bearish retracement outlook and signal potential new highs. Until then, investors should monitor the $29–$32 range for a buying opportunity.
