EUR/NZD slipped lower as markets reacted to the breakdown in U.S.-Iran peace talks over the weekend.. Oil prices surged sharply, with WTI jumping 8.8% after the U.S. announced a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy chokepoint. The spike in energy prices intensified inflation concerns and added pressure on global growth expectations. Commodities and equities rebounded, with gold, silver, and global equity indices recovering part of their earlier losses as investors reassessed the immediate escalation risks. Immediate resistance is located at 2.0113(50%fib), any close above will push the pair towards 2.0307 (Higher BB). Immediate support is seen at 2.0016 (SMA 20) and break below could take the pair towards 1.9875(38.2%fib).

X product chief floats idea of building “something” to address crypto slump

Bitcoin climbed back to $74,000 on Monday to blunt its year-to-date losses. But even with the rebound, the token sits roughly 15% lower for the year as the crypto market struggles to recapture the upside momentum seen earlier this spring.

X’s product head Nikita Bier said the platform might “launch something to fix it.”

Why XRP Has No Role at the Strait of Hormuz, While Bitcoin and Stablecoins In It

Iran is collecting crypto payments from oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz — accepting Bitcoin and stablecoins at up to $2 million per vessel. But one major crypto asset is completely absent from this story. $XRP, despite being purpose-built for fast, cheap cross-border payments, has not been mentioned once.

Here is the honest reason why.

What Is Actually Happening at Hormuz Right Now

Since mid-March 2026, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has been operating what is effectively a toll booth at one of the world’s most critical shipping chokepoints. The IRGC charges ship operators up to $2 million per vessel to transit the strait, accepting payment in either Chinese yuan, routed through Kunlun Bank via CIPS, Bitcoin, or possibly $USDT.

Under this system, oil tankers must email their cargo details to Iranian authorities. Iran then charges about $1 per barrel and tells the crew to pay the exact amount in Bitcoin within seconds to get permission to pass.

Iran made this rule official through the Strait of Hormuz Management Plan, approved on March 30–31, 2026. This is the first time a country has used crypto to collect fees at a major global shipping route.

The numbers are huge. The system could bring in up to $20 million per day from oil tankers alone, and as much as $600–$800 million per month if gas shipments are included.

Why Bitcoin and Stablecoin?

Iran did not choose Bitcoin because it is the best payment technology, but because no one can freeze or block it. With decades of sanctions cutting off access to global finance, Bitcoin works as a neutral payment rail.

It doesn’t need approval, has no central issuer, and cannot be seized mid-transfer, making it ideal for cross-border trade when traditional systems are blocked.

Meanwhile, stablecoins like Tether solve a different problem: price stability. They help Iran avoid volatility while m

Multiple factors suggest the stock market is currently bottoming, according to Dan Skelly, a managing director at Morgan Stanley.Skelly says in a new CNBC interview that the US is currently experiencing a “productivity boom” that makes the risk/reward ratio for equities at current valuations look reasonably attractive.“I don’t want to diminish the conflict going on by any means, but when you think about it, a year ago April we were talking about another big policy snafu, perceived to be at the time, and here we are not thinking about that as much. And so I think, look, at the end of the day, you’re going to go through these challenges day to day, week to week, but the underlying narrative in the US is one of innovation, one of technology, productivity, and one of pretty strong earnings.” Skelly says Morgan Stanley doesn’t expect a major economic recession.“Peak to trough, we had a 9% correction in the last several months, and the market, we think, has bottomed. Look, I’m not going to say we don’t retest, but it’s hard to understand what new information the market learns that’s that draconian, when we already know the motive is to have a ceasefire and to move on beyond all this.”The S&P 500 is priced at 6,848.26 at time of writing and is up 3.73% in the past five days.Skelly thinks the market probably troughed at 6,300.“One of the other markers for that is that the VIX, the volatility index, has come off substantially off of that 30 level, and usually the volatility has to peak before markets can bottom.”    The VIX sits at 19.48 at time of writing.Generated Image: Midjourney

Can Bitcoin price break out of the ascending channel toward $74K?

Bitcoin is trading at $72,330 on April 13, pressing the upper trendline of a 4H ascending channel that has been building since the late March lows near $65,000. Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows of $786 million last week, led by BlackRock’s IBIT at $612 million across five trading days, provide the structural demand backdrop for the move.

Bitcoin ($BTC) price is trading at $72,330 on April 13, up 0.65% on the 4H chart, as it presses the upper trendline of an ascending channel in place since the late March lows near $65,000. The MA ribbon reflects the recovery: SMA 20 at $72,056, SMA 50 at $70,980, SMA 100 at $69,060, and SMA 200 at $69,877 are all stacked in order beneath current price, consistent with a recovering trend structure. The 4H MACD histogram reads at -107.94, still negative but trending less so across recent sessions, indicating momentum is improving rather than reversing outright.

Ascending Channel Tests Upper Boundary With Bullish SMA Ribbon Below

The 4H chart shows Bitcoin constructing a textbook ascending channel since the late March lows, with consecutive higher lows building from the $65,000 zone as the MA ribbon progressively curled into a bullish order. The upper boundary of the channel aligns with the $72,600 session high printed April 13. The annotated $70,000 level sits near the channel’s lower boundary and has acted as the structural floor throughout the move.


The negative MACD histogram at -107.94 adds a layer of caution: the session is recovering but the 4H momentum cross is not yet confirmed to the upside, meaning a sustained push above $72,600 would need volume to back it. Price has recovered from the Sunday gap-down triggered by the collapse of U.S.-Iran peace talks and President Trump’s Strait of Hormuz blockade order, which briefly pressured Bitcoin to $70,741 at the Monday open.

Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows of $786 million last week, led by BlackRock’s IBIT at $612 million across five trading days, provide the structural demand backdrop for the move. Summary Bitcoin price is at $72,330 on April 13, up 0.65% on the session, pressing the upper boundary of a 4H ascending channel defined by two parallel upward-sloping trendlines from the March lows near $65,000. The SMA 20 at $72,056 is acting as immediate support, with the SMA 50 at $70,980, SMA 100 at $69,060, and SMA 200 at $69,877 all stacked below price in a bullish ribbon configuration. A confirmed 4H close above $72,600 targets $74,000 then $76,000; a daily close below the annotated $70,000 support level invalidates the ascending channel structure.
