Trading Legend Henrik Zeberg Says Altcoin Season Is Close

Resumo

At the same time, Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency, outperforms some major altcoins in the long run. In mid-April, its dominance almost touched 50%, which is the highest level since Q2, 2021.

Macro economist, trader and seasoned analyst of cryptocurrencies Henrik Zeberg is sure that despite the double-digit price drops some major cryptos registered in the last seven days, the "altcoin season" is not cancelled.
We are close to altcoin season, Henrik Zeberg says
As per a statement Zeberg shared with his 108,500 followers on Twitter, bears should not be too enthusiastic in their "desperation." A big market crash is not on the menu right now. Instead, we need to brace ourselves for an "altcoin season."
Desperation among Bears….

Where is the Market Crash?

They should study "Momentum Analysis" 😉

We are so close to #AltcoinSeason 🚀
— Henrik Zeberg (@HenrikZeberg) April 21, 2023
"Momentum analysis" is the best indicator for the "altcoin season" coming, Zeberg opines. As such, before the severe market recession he expects to rage in the midterm, a true altcoin season might come.

In the last seven days, 8 out of 10 largest alternative cryptocurrencies by market capitalization witnessed double-digit losses. Binance Coin (BNB) is the strongest performer as its cap only dropped by 1.5%.
Cardano (ADA) and Polygon (MATIC) suffered the most: they lost 14.1% and 13.8%, respectively.
Bitcoin (BTC) dominance jumped to multi-month highs in April
As covered by U.Today previously, some of the biggest altcoin seasons in the past were preceded by meme coins rallying. During the past weeks, some shady meme cryptos, including Pepe (PEPE) and ArbDoge AI (AIDOGE), printed enormous gains.

Some of these cryptos have too many red flags: their supply is controlled by whales, and the owners of the contract can voluntarily blacklist holders.
Zeberg is very far from being the only speaker to predict an "altcoin season." Veteran crypto entrepreneur and investor Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, declared an "altszn" on April 14, 2023.

At the same time, Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency, outperforms some major altcoins in the long run. In mid-April, its dominance almost touched 50%, which is the highest level since Q2, 2021.

Even CZ Praised Hyperliquid as 'Awesome', But Its Biggest Moat Might Also Be Its Biggest Risk

In an episode of Galaxy Brains, Binance founder CZ praised Hyperliquid as "awesome" but clarified that while its product is strong, Binance cannot compete in its specific niche due to Hyperliquid's no-KYC, decentralized model. CZ noted he would not personally operate such a model, highlighting the inherent legal and compliance risks tied to its access advantage. The discussion underscores a core market structure conflict: on-chain perp platforms like Hyperliquid thrive on open, low-barrier access, which regulated exchanges like Binance cannot replicate without abandoning their global compliance posture. However, this very advantage makes Hyperliquid a clear target for regulatory scrutiny. The UK FCA has already issued a warning against Hyperliquid for potentially offering unauthorized services to UK users, framing it as a financial services provider rather than neutral infrastructure. Historical cases like the CFTC's action against bZeroX and Ooki DAO further illustrate that regulators may pursue decentralized structures if they facilitate leveraged trading for retail users without proper controls. Meanwhile, regulated venues like Cboe are developing US-compliant "continuous futures" that mimic perpetual exposure, narrowing the product gap. Hyperliquid's long-term edge may increasingly hinge on its access model—the very feature most exposed to regulatory pressure. The key question is whether its "access premium" can withstand escalating legal challenges as on-chain perps gain mainstream attention.

A Hard-Fought Battle to Defend Par Value: STRC Drifts Further Away from $100

STRC, the dividend-paying stock issued by Michael Saylor's bitcoin reserve firm Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), is trading far below its intended $100 par value, closing recently at $80.84. With a key dividend snapshot date approaching, Saylor aims to pull the price back to $100, as per SEC filings stating the company's goal to stabilize the stock near that level. The situation is complicated by the June volume-weighted average price (VWAP) falling below $95, triggering an internal rule that mandates the next dividend increase to be at least double the standard 0.25% per cycle, potentially pushing the annualized dividend yield to 12%. However, attracting buyers with this higher yield faces challenges: the payout is spread over 24 bi-monthly installments, the board can alter or suspend dividends at any time, and there is no guarantee against further price declines. Beyond raising dividends, Strategy has limited tools to boost the stock. These include direct share buybacks (never utilized), halting new share issuances above $100 (which currently cap the price), selling ordinary MSTR shares to build a cash buffer for dividends (with limited effect so far), or announcing special shareholder benefits. Historically, STRC has reclaimed the $100 mark, such as in October last year, driven by a combination of dividend fulfillment, a rate hike, and a pause in share sales. The core question remains how much cost and effort Strategy is willing to bear to attract the necessary buying pressure to restore the $100 par value.

Fable 5 is about to make a comeback, code exposed? Anthropic CEO kicked out of the White House

Fable 5, a previously restricted AI model from Anthropic, appears poised for a comeback. Evidence from leaked code in the Claude Code v2.1.190 version suggests a shift in its business model from a separate purchase to a potentially limited weekly usage allowance within standard Claude subscriptions. Furthermore, the model has reportedly reappeared in Amazon Bedrock documentation. This potential revival coincides with significant internal changes at Anthropic. According to a report by The Wired, CEO Dario Amodei was reportedly sidelined from negotiations with the Trump administration over Fable 5's export restrictions. Government officials found him difficult to communicate with. Co-founder Tom Brown and policy head Sarah Heck took over discussions, leading to more productive technical talks aimed at addressing White House security concerns about the model being "jailbroken." External pressure is mounting as a bipartisan group of US lawmakers has demanded answers from the Commerce Department by a June 26 deadline regarding the criteria and timeline for potentially reinstating public access to Fable 5. The potential return of Fable 5 comes as competitors OpenAI and Google have reportedly delayed their own major model releases. If Anthropic successfully navigates the government's security review, Fable 5 could gain a significant "safety-certified" advantage in the enterprise market. The countdown to the June 26 deadline is now underway.
