On April 2, XS.com analyst Rania Gule noted in a report that oil prices could easily break above $110 per barrel again in the short term. She stated that traders are positioning themselves in anticipation of further supply disruptions following recent comments from Trump. The market has not yet fully absorbed the risks associated with the escalation of the situation in the Middle East, thus the short-term upside risks outweigh the downside risks. However, the analyst has a more balanced outlook for the mid-term, as the rekindling of interest rate hike expectations by the Federal Reserve could strengthen the dollar, putting pressure on commodities priced in dollars, such as oil. She added that the mid-term outlook for oil still depends on the global economy's ability to absorb the impacts of high interest rates.

According to Coindesk, a Twitter user by the name “Burak” (@brqgoo) sent a large swath of the Lightning Network into turmoil on Tuesday morning, when he allegedly created a non-standard Bitcoin transaction that prevented users from opening new Lightning channels (connections between Lightning nodes). Burak’s valid but non-standard transaction caused Bitcoin nodes running an implementation of Bitcoin called btcd, to suddenly stop creating new transaction blocks. This caused a corresponding glitch on all Lightning Network Daemon (LND) nodes. LND nodes rely on information from btcd Bitcoin nodes, and the glitch caused LND nodes to reject all new channel opening requests. Burak’s shenanigans disrupted a good chunk of the Bitcoin and Lightning ecosystems. Core Lightning (CLN) nodes that rely on Bitcoin Core, the most popular implementation of Bitcoin, were unaffected (although this seems to have been by design). Additionally, the bug Burak exploited was quickly patched.
