Here are key bitcoin price levels to watch as the rally gathers steam

Bitcoin analysts sounded bullish early this week and the market is proving them right. The cryptocurrency's price has hit four-week highs above $74,000.

As the rally continues, several key levels are now in focus. Let's take a look at those in detail.

$75,000 the 'release point'

This may be the most important because of its implications for derivatives positioning and dealer hedging flows. Dealers, or market makers, are entities that keep markets liquid and ensure a seamless trading experience by stepping in to buy or sell assets, taking the opposite side of your trade.

At $75,000, options market data from Deribit indicates that dealer and market maker exposure is tilted heavily toward so-called “negative gamma.”

Gamma refers to how quickly dealers must adjust their hedges as the underlying price moves.

When dealers are "long gamma," they tend to buy the underlying asset in spot/futures when its price falls, and sell when its price rises, inadvertently curbing volatility. But when they are short or in negative gamma, as is the case at $75,000, their behavior flips – hedging becomes pro-cyclical, meaning they may be forced to buy into rallies and sell into declines. Other things being equal, this dealer hedging often amplifies price volatility.

So, as bitcoin approaches and trades near $75,000, even modest price swings can trigger hedging flows from dealers adjusting their options exposure. If prices move past $75,000, dealers may buy into the rising market, potentially accelerating upside momentum.

Conversely, if prices turn lower from around $75,000, dealers could short, accelerating the decline, meaning this point can act less like a traditional support or resistance level and more like a "volatility release point."

Since 2020, as bitcoin’s options market has expanded significantly,

Digital Trust Without Intermediaries: What Blockchain Delivers and What It Does Not

Most people in the industry feel they know blockchain well enough. The problem is everyone outside it thinks they do too — and what they know is usually wrong. Having a clear account of what blockchain actually delivers, and what it does not, gives you something solid to reach for when the conversation turns to someone who learned everything they know from a headline.

Algorand: Can ALGO target $0.1271 after a 10% price breakout?

Algorand [ALGO] has staged a strong comeback over the last 24 hours, posting a 10% gain at press time, a move many traders had anticipated. Price entered the imbalance zone, filled it cleanly, and then reversed with intent.

That type of reaction rarely occurs by chance; it typically indicates that the market has discovered short-term value. Moreover, the price rebound gained momentum, suggesting that buyers were ready to step in once the imbalance was cleared.

Bessent tells Fed to ‘wait and see’ on cuts as war-driven inflation clouds Bitcoin

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's call for the Fed to hold off on rate cuts reflects a problem that reaches far beyond Washington: war-driven inflation is keeping the door to cheaper money shut.

Reuters reported that Bessent urged caution because the Iran conflict is lifting fuel costs and complicating the inflation outlook. The Fed's own March minutes told pretty much the same story: officials warned that higher oil prices could lift inflation in the near term, delay the return to 2%, and, if sustained, pass through into core prices. Futures markets had already shifted toward fewer cuts, with no reduction fully priced until December at that time.
When crude rises because of geopolitical conflict, gasoline, shipping, food production, and logistics all get more expensive, and inflation can climb even in an economy that isn't running hot.
That leaves the Fed trapped: cut too early and risk validating higher prices, or hold rates and risk squeezing consumers and businesses that are already struggling. Officials acknowledged the tension explicitly, noting that inflation risks had increased while employment risks were tilting to the.

The crypto market's most powerful bullish narrative over the past year has been that weakening growth and softening inflation would force the Fed to ease, driving liquidity into risk assets. An oil shock disrupts every link in that chain. Growth fears rise, but the Fed still hesitates because inflation isn't cooperating, and Bitcoin loses a macro tailwind it has leaned on repeatedly during past easing cycles.
Why the Fed is making Bitcoin less secure
The connection between rate expectations and crypto runs through three channels.
First, the cost of capital: when rates stay elevated, leverage remains expensive for hedge funds, market makers, miners, and retail traders

US Justice Department opens claims for victims of $4 billion OneCoin fraud

The Department of Justice opened a remission process for victims of the $4 billion OneCoin fraud, with more than $40 million in forfeited assets currently available for compensation.

Victims must submit petition forms through the remission administrator by June 30, according to the DOJ.
The U.S. Department of Justice has opened a remission claims process for victims of the OneCoin cryptocurrency scheme, allowing eligible investors to seek compensation from forfeited assets tied to related criminal cases.

More than $40 million in forfeited assets are now available for distribution through the department's remission process, though the scheme collected over $4 billion from victims worldwide between 2014 and 2019, according to a DOJ statement released Monday.

Individuals who purchased the OneCoin cryptocurrency during that period may be eligible to file claims through the remission program administered by Kroll. Petition forms are available through the program's website, and submissions must be filed by June 30, the DOJ said.

The funds stem from criminal forfeiture actions tied to federal prosecutions in the Southern District of New York, per the statement.

The announcement comes as OneCoin co-founder Ruja Ignatova remains a fugitive. Ignatova was added to the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list in June 2022, and the bureau said it is offering a reward of up to $250,000 for information leading to her arrest. The U.S. State Department has also offered a separate reward of up to $5 million for information leading to Ignatova's capture.
