Bitcoin’s recent advance is being described as one of the most widely dismissed rallies in years — yet that skepticism itself may be what continues to fuel the move higher, according to crypto comment

Bitcoin’s recent advance is being described as one of the most widely dismissed rallies in years — yet that skepticism itself may be what continues to fuel the move higher, according to crypto commentator Ran Neuner.
In a recent live discussion, Neuner highlighted what he called a “Trump-style recovery,” where risk assets have staged a strong V-shaped rebound. The S&P 500 has pushed to new all-time highs, while Bitcoin climbed above $74,000, even as macro headwinds such as geopolitical tensions, sticky inflation, and elevated oil prices continue to weigh on sentiment.
Global equity markets are following a similar pattern. Japan’s Nikkei and South Korea’s Kospi are trading near record highs, with the Kospi up roughly 50% year-to-date — reflecting broad strength across risk assets.
Despite the rally, sentiment remains deeply divided. Some analysts tied to the four-year Bitcoin cycle argue the true bull market cannot restart until later in the year and expect a possible retest toward $50,000. Meanwhile, altcoin traders remain frustrated as Bitcoin dominance stays elevated, leaving assets like Solana at multi-month lows relative to BTC.
On the other hand, several on-chain and macro indicators suggest strong underlying demand. The S&P 500’s near 10% surge in just 10 days ranks in the 99.7th percentile of historical returns since 1950. The Fear & Greed Index has remained in extreme fear territory for an extended period, while whale wallets have accumulated approximately 270,000 BTC over the past 30 days — the highest level since 2013.
Stablecoin liquidity has also expanded sharply, reaching an estimated $320 billion, while negative funding rates point to heavily positioned shorts — conditions that have historically preceded short squeezes.
Institutional activity continues to play a major role. MicroStrategy raised $6.3 billion through its “Stretch” preferred stock offering, with proceeds fully allocated to Bitcoin purchases.

Dogecoin breakout chatter is back but this time, it’s not just noise. After multiple failed attempts, the meme coin has finally pushed through its descending triangle resistance, and the way it happened tells a story traders know all too well: persistence pays… eventually.

Three Attempts That Changed Market Control Dynamics
Let’s break it down, because the sequence matters more than the breakout itself.

First attempt? Rejected. Clean and simple. The candle body didn’t even make it into the resistance zone that means that sellers were firmly in control, no debate there.

Second attempt? Slightly better, but still no cigar. Price managed to close right at the resistance zone. Buyers showed up, sure, but couldn’t push through. Sellers still had

The 4.5 signal: Why Glassnode’s RHODL ratio says the bitcoin bottom may be in


The RHODL ratio, by Glassnode, a key on-chain metric tracking the balance between long-term and short-term bitcoin holders, is flashing signals more consistent with a market bottom than a cycle top, after hitting a ratio of 4.5.

Currently sitting at its third highest level on record, the indicator shows that wealth is increasingly concentrated in older coins, as younger, more speculative holdings have been largely flushed out during the 50% correction in bitcoin over the past six months.

The ratio compares the value of coins held by longer-term investors, typically those holding for six months to three years, against coins held by short-term participants, defined as one day to three months. By measuring this balance, it offers insight into whether the market is dominated by seasoned holders or fresh demand from new entrants.

A rising ratio often reflects coins aging and a decline in speculative activity, rather than an influx of new buyers. This dynamic typically emerges after sharp corrections which can be seen in 2015, 2019 and 2022.

There are two occasions where the RHODL ratio has been higher than now, is 2015 (ratio of 5) and 2022 (ratio of 7), both cycle lows, which could suggest there is further downside for bitcoin.

However, pushing to even higher levels typically requires an even deeper collapse in short-term holder activity and near-complete demand exhaustion, conditions that are less evident today given the 25% price recovery from the February lows, negative perpetual funding rates and broader macro risk environment which has seen S&P 500 hit new all-time highs.

This creates a floor for XRP demand. The more accounts and objects that exist, the more XRP sits immobilized.

But it scales with user and object counts, not with the nominal dollar value of what settles.

A billion dollars of tokenized funds can sit inside a small set of issuer accounts. On the other hand, a million retail users, each running active strategies that create trust lines, offers, and other objects, can lock far more XRP in aggregate.

Ethereum Whales Are Sitting on a Breakeven Ceiling at $2,400 Price: Are They About to Kill the Rally?
Ethereum price is trading at $2,350–$2,351 after posting back-to-back daily gains of 4.76% and 6.32% in recent sessions, but the chart is telling a more complicated story.

Distribution pressure from whale cohorts sitting near their average cost basis is creating a ceiling that bulls haven’t cracked yet. One resistance level, in particular, is doing most of the heavy lifting right now.

According to Cryptoquant, key whale and retail cohorts carry average cost basis levels between $2,324 and $2,436, a band that neatly brackets current price action and creates natural sell pressure as holders look to exit near breakeven.
US spot ETH ETF inflows returned at $67.8 million on Wednesday after five straight days of net inflows per SoSoValue data, signaling slow but real institutional re-engagement.

Meanwhile, $111.6 million in liquidations hit over the last 48 hours, $70.8 million of that in longs, per Coinglass, a bruising reminder that leverage remains a liability at these levels.

Broader crypto sentiment has stabilized alongside equity markets, but ETH’s internal metrics suggest the recovery lacks the volume conviction needed to flip the next major resistance zone. The next 72 hours may determine whether this is a base-building phase or a fakeout.

Crypto markets rally as Trump's Hormuz comments trigger $400M short liquidations

Crypto markets moved higher on 17 April after Donald J. Trump said the Strait of Hormuz remains open for “full passage,” easing fears of a broader supply disruption amid ongoing tensions with Iran.

The reaction was swift across digital assets, with Bitcoin and major altcoins posting gains as traders repositioned around a perceived reduction in geopolitical risk.

Circle CEO says China could launch yuan stablecoin within 3 to 5 years as currency race heats up
Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire told Reuters in Hong Kong that there is a "tremendous opportunity" for a yuan-backed stablecoin, predicting China could roll one out within three to five years as digital currencies become more integrated into global trade and finance.
The framing marks a shift from speculative idea to something closer to policy alignment. Reuters reported in August 2025 that Chinese officials were exploring a yuan-backed stablecoin to boost international adoption, a notable turn for a country that has banned crypto trading and mining since 2021.

The crypto industry is facing another wave of security incidents.
Since the massive ~$280 million exploit of Drift Protocol on April 1, more than 12 DeFi protocols and crypto platforms have been targeted in rapid succession. The attacks have ranged from smart contract vulnerabilities to oracle manipulation, liquidity pool exploits, and access control failures.
Among the affected projects are CoW Swap, Hyperbridge, Bybit, Silo Finance, Zerion, and others—highlighting how widespread and persistent these incidents have become.
One of the most notable recent cases is Rhea Finance, which lost around $7.6 million after attackers exploited its margin trading system. The exploit involved fake token contracts and liquidity manipulation that reportedly confused oracle and validation layers.
At the same time, a Russia-linked exchange suspended operations after a separate multi-million-dollar breach, while other protocols including bridge aggregators and GPU computing networks also reported losses earlier in the month.
Security analysts warn that the threat landscape is evolving quickly. Some attacks linked to DPRK-affiliated groups are increasingly using AI-assisted social engineering tactics to steal credentials and gain system access—making traditional defenses less effective.
According to on-chain data, DeFi protocols have already lost over $168 million across dozens of incidents in just the first quarter of 2026.
Bottom line:
DeFi security is entering a new phase where technical exploits and AI-powered social engineering are combining to create faster, larger, and more coordinated attacks.
