Bitcoin steadies as Iran reopens Hormuz but Trump keeps crypto‑fuelled oil squeeze


Iran’s move to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz while Donald Trump keeps Iran’s ships under blockade has left oil and Bitcoin trading the ceasefire headline by headline.

Iran’s announcement that it has fully reopened the Strait of Hormuz has eased the worst energy shock fears, but President Donald Trump’s decision to maintain a US naval blockade on Iranian ships and ports has kept oil and crypto markets on edge. Around 20% of the world’s oil normally moves through the strait, making it one of the most important chokepoints for global energy and a key macro driver for Bitcoin’s ($BTC) role as a geopolitical hedge.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on X that the waterway is now “fully open” to commercial vessels, signaling Tehran’s willingness to restore flows even as a fragile 10‑day truce between Israel and Iran‑backed Hezbollah in Lebanon holds. Trump initially echoed that tone, posting that Iran had declared the strait “fully open and ready for full passage” before reversing minutes later and insisting the blockade will continue “UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN IS 100% COMPLETE.”

Hormuz reopening meets unresolved U.S. blockade

Trump first ordered the blockade earlier this week after Iran partially restricted traffic through the strait, a move Washington framed as a breach of the Pakistan‑brokered ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran. At the time, Trump said the navy would enforce an “all or none” policy, effectively turning Hormuz into leverage over nuclear talks, tanker insurance and any attempt by Tehran to monetize exports via schemes such as the mooted $1‑per‑barrel crypto‑denominated toll reported in an earlier crypto.news story.

Le Monde reports that direct talks between the US and Iran last weekend were inconclusive, with “

Solana validator logs 32 delinquencies, foundation still claims ‘100% uptime’
The Solana Foundation is advertising “100% network uptime since March 2023” but delegators behind the Harmonic Major validator have had an entirely different experience.

Their node has gone delinquent 32 times in the past 30 days on a stake of 625,000 $SOL, worth over $50 million, according to validator tracker Slashr.

Slashr puts that at 12 times the network average over that time period.

Unlike certain proof-of-stake blockchains, Solana doesn’t slash validators for going offline, so no principal is at risk. Instead, delinquent delegators simply miss the vote credits, inflation rewards, and MEV share they would have earned.

The validator tracking service estimates the opportunity cost at roughly $413 per hour while the node is dark.

Harmonic, the company operating that validator, hasn’t publicly addressed a single incident.

A Solana validator is flagged delinquent once its root slot drifts far enough behind the supermajority that it’s effectively stopped voting.

Penalties on delinquent validators are entirely economic. Delegators forfeit the rewards they would have earned during the downtime but delinquencies don’t burn a stake nor force an exit from the validation system.

That distinction is the one Solana’s uptime marketing doesn’t make.

Although cluster-level uptime of the entire Solana blockchain correctly reveals 100% timeliness of the network producing blocks, the actual experience of someone staking $SOL with a validator or staking-as-a-service provider within a particular cluster can differ dramatically from that headline.

Validator-level uptime measures whether your specific node was voting.

The two numbers can diverge dramatically, and in Harmonic’s case, they have.

MSTR Stock Forecast as Michael Saylor's Strategy Unrealized Gains Hit $1.37B
Strategy shares moved higher on April 17 as Bitcoin climbed above $77,000 and briefly crossed the $78,000 mark for the first time since the sharp February selloff. The rally put fresh focus on Michael Saylor’s company because its balance sheet remains closely tied to Bitcoin price moves. With Bitcoin trading above Strategy’s average purchase price of $75,577, the company returned to an unrealized profit position, with market commentary placing paper gains at about $1.37 billion.
MSTR also gained during the session as traders responded to the broader recovery in risk assets. At one point during market hours, the stock was up 13.83% and trading near $169.54. Separate market updates also showed the stock ahead by about 8% on the day. The move came as Bitcoin strength improved sentiment around companies with direct digital asset exposure.

Bitcoin Breakout Lifts Strategy Back Into Profit

Bitcoin’s move above $77,000 marked its strongest level since the correction that followed the February 5 selloff, when the asset fell close to $60,000. On April 17, Bitcoin traded around $78,209.10 in one market update, while another reading placed it near $77,286.74. That price recovery mattered for Strategy because the company’s large treasury position leaves its valuation highly sensitive to changes in Bitcoin.

Strategy now holds 780,897 BTC, according to the reports. At current price levels, those holdings were valued at about $60.817 billion. Since the company’s average Bitcoin purchase price stands at $75,577, the latest market move pushed the firm back above its cost basis. That change reversed part of the pressure seen in the first quarter, when Strategy reported about $14.5 billion in unrealized paper losses.

The stock’s technical picture also improved. MSTR moved above its 200-week moving average, a long-term trend indicator watched by market participants. A break a

Solana Price Prediction: Breakout Puts Bulls Back in Control



Solana has turned bullish after holding its reversal zone and breaking above the key $86.70 resistance. If that level holds, the breakout could support a move toward higher resistance in the sessions ahead.

Solana Rebounds After First Target Hit as Traders Watch Higher Resistance

Solana reached its first upside target, according to a chart shared by TraderSZ on X, as the token moved higher after breaking above a descending trendline on the one hour chart. The posted update says “t1 hit” and adds that stop losses are now at break even, showing the trade has moved into a more protected stage.

The chart shows SOLUSD on Coinbase recovering from a broader downtrend and pushing through falling resistance that had capped price since mid March. After that breakout, Solana climbed into a key resistance band near the upper $80 range. That area now acts as the first major test after the initial move higher.

Several horizontal levels remain in focus above the breakout. The chart marks resistance near $87.54, then around $91.21, with a higher zone close to $95.16 labeled as the 2025 low. Those levels appear to frame the next upside path if buyers keep control and hold the breakout.

At the same time, lower support remains visible near $83.87, then around $80.20 and $76.53. If Solana falls back below the broken trendline and loses nearby support, the breakout could weaken. For now, though, the chart suggests momentum improved after the first target was reached and risk was reduced by shifting stops to break even.

Bitcoin price jumps towards $80,000 after Strait of Hormuz shipping route declared open

BTC's rally triggered heavy short liquidations across the crypto market and strengthened bullish positioning in options and prediction markets.

Bitcoin climbed toward $80,000 after Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was fully open to commercial traffic for the remainder of the ceasefire period, easing pressure on one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints and triggering a broader risk-on move across markets.

The largest cryptocurrency rose 5% on the news to as high as $77,700, according to CryptoSlate data. The move extended a weeklong rebound that has lifted Bitcoin nearly 7% from below $70,000 to its strongest level since the early February crash.

The rally set off a sharp liquidation wave across leveraged crypto positions. CoinGlass data showed about $243 million in liquidations over the past 1 hour, with most of the losses concentrated among traders positioned for further downside.

For context, Bitcoin short traders lost more than $100 million during the reporting period.

Meanwhile, the total liquidations topped $720 million over a longer 24-hour time frame. Notably, this is one of the largest market wipeouts since mid-March.
