Bitcoin hit a $76,944 high after reports of U.S. and Iranian officials meeting in Pakistan on April 21.

High volatility fueled the liquidation of 6,769 traders, wiping out $97 million in leveraged positions.

Bitcoin seeks to reclaim the $76,000 resistance level following a massive Strategy acquisition.

Bitcoin fluctuated between $75,000 and $77,000 on Tuesday as markets struggled to find direction just hours before the expiration of a temporary ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran. After starting the day trading just below $76,500, bitcoin retreated to $75,600 amid escalating rhetoric between Washington and Tehran.Optimism flickered across the crypto markets following reports that a U.S. delegation was en route to Islamabad, Pakistan, to convene a second round of high-stakes negotiations with Tehran. This diplomatic overture provided a brief but necessary tailwind for bitcoin, as investors pivoted from risk-off to cautiously optimistic sentiment. The market appeared to price in a de-escalation premium, viewing the talks as a stabilizing force—a significant sentiment shift occurring just 24 hours after the U.S. seizure of an Iranian vessel had sent jitters through global assets.

This bullish momentum was reflected in Bitstamp order books, which tracked a sustained six-hour rally that propelled it to a session high of $76,944 by approximately 6:30 a.m. EDT.

However, that early-morning optimism evaporated as conflicting reports cast doubt over the Iranian delegation’s participation. This surge in geopolitical uncertainty triggered a decisive reversal in price action; bitcoin’s momentum stalled, giving way to a persistent downtrend that defined the morning session. Selling pressure intensified as the “waiting game” turned to skepticism, eventually forcing the asset to capitulate to an intraday low of $75,085 by 1:20 p.m.By late afternoon (2:24 p.m.), the top cryptocurrency

Etherealize updates long-term ETH price prediction to $250,000

If Ethereum captures the same monetary premium as bitcoin and gold carry as stores-of-value with a combined market cap of $31 trillion, that implies a price north of $250,000 per ETH.

The report argues ETH is unique in the history of money in being both a value store and a “productive asset.”

Etherealize, the institutional marketing and product arm for the Ethereum ecosystem, has set a new long-term price target for ETH at $250,000, arguing the token represents something of a unique asset in the history of money. 

The price call is significantly lower than Etherealize’s previous $740,000 per token target, set last year during the firm’s first public communique. It is also a significant reach for an asset that is currently trading at $2,300, according to The Block’s price page.

"It's all about timing and inevitability," Vivek Raman, co-founder of Etherealize, told The Block. "We think Ethereum is going to be the backbone of the global financial system, and that there's going to be one or two digital assets that become the store-of-value assets."

If bitcoin is a "foregone conclusion," then ETH is "the other contender," Raman added. Notably, Etherealize's report does not give a target date for its price prediction. 

Etherealize launched last year to communicate Ethereum’s usefulness as an institutional asset.

River [RIVER] surged 17% to $5.71 as volume jumped 68.05% to $29.41 at press time, signaling aggressive capital inflow and renewed spot-driven participation. This sharp expansion reflected a decisive return of buyers after a prolonged period of subdued activity.

Notably, the rally did not emerge in isolation, as rising volume confirmed that demand had supported the move rather than thin liquidity. As a result, RIVER price action showed stronger conviction, with participants actively engaging at current levels.

However, this surge alone did not confirm a sustained trend shift, since broader structure still required validation across key zones and supporting indicators.

According to cryptocurrency trader "Doctor Profit", the crypto market may face a crash "even worse than during the dot com bubble." The trader is shorting 100 altcoins simultaneously, worth $1 million. Doctor Profit anticipates the market to crash to 2020 levels and that "90% of this market is in a relentless, structural downtrend." The trader does not see any catalyst that could reverse the ongoing trajectory. Let's discuss if it could actually happen. My big bet on Altcoins:On top of my existing Bitcoin short from $120k and my ongoing SPX short, I'm now betting on the biggest hill of garbage the market has ever seen, even worse than during the dot com bubble and the garbage of the penny stocks. I'm shorting 100 altcoins... pic.twitter.com/wJqkTS3fCE Doctor Profit (@DrProfitCrypto) April 20, 2026Will The Crypto Market Face A Dot Com Bubble-Like Crash?Source: WatcherGuruThere is no denying the fact that the cryptocurrency market has faced substantial challenges over the last few months. Investors began an off-risk approach in late 2025 after increased macro uncertainties and geopolitical tensions. The US-Iran conflict has further added to investor stress. However, a dot com bubble-like crash may be an exaggeration. It is evident that the cryptocurrency market works in cycles. For example, Bitcoin (BTC) fell to the $15,000 price level after the collapse of FTX in 2022. Solana (SOL) faced the brunt of the matter, falling to a low of about $9. However, the market made a quick recovery. Bitcoin (BTC) breached the $100,000 mark for the first time in its history just two years later. Solana (SOL) also went on to hit multiple all-time highs over the last few years. Furthermore, the cryptocurrency market saw the entry of major financial institutions over the last few years. The most notable entry was that of

Market Updates: Arbitrum Freezes 30,766 ETH Amid KelpDAO Security Breach, MEXC Cuts Exposure on Aave Liquidity Concerns, Lido Weighs $3M Loss Buffer Against $21.6M rsETH Exposure
The crypto market is currently absorbing the impact of a major DeFi exploit. Emergency interventions, liquidity shifts, and risk containment measures are rapidly reshaping on-chain activity.

Notably, key ecosystem participants, including Arbitrum, MEXC, and Lido, have all responded to what is now considered one of the most significant shocks of 2026.
To begin with, Arbitrum has taken emergency action in response to the KelpDAO breach. In particular, it has frozen 30,766 ETH worth approximately $71 million.

In a post on X, the Arbitrum Security Council confirmed that the decision was made following coordination with law enforcement, which had already identified a suspected exploiter.

To prevent further movement of funds, the assets were transferred into a restricted intermediary wallet.
