#Bitcoin has steadily rebounded in price this April, with its price on Friday returning to $77,000.

This triggered a massive $102.93 million liquidation of short positions in 24h, strengthening the upward move. Additionally, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw substantial net inflows this week, totaling over $186.03 million. BlackRock’s IBIT was a leading whale, buying over $500M in BTC. ETF inflows could be seen as a sign of what fund managers are feeling. BlackRock’s latest half-billion purchase could be seen as a bullish outlook from the world’s largest asset manager.Furthermore, Bitcoin’s rally has also positively impacted several crypto-focused US stocks.

Cardano (ADA)’s price appears to be regaining bullish momentum alongside other major cryptocurrency assets across the market, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. This renewed upward performance of ADA is attributed to multiple factors, such as a broader market recovery and potentially the recent uptick in whale activity.

ADA Faces Key Test After Accumulation Surge
With the market environment slowly turning bullish once again, the price of Cardano is exhibiting upside action, approaching the $0.25 mark. Despite this upward move, the altcoin is now being faced by significant resistance that may serve as a trigger for more upside activity or downside trend.

After examining the chart on the 3-day time frame, Ali Chartz, a seasoned crypto analyst and trader, outlined that Cardano is currently approaching a decisive moment that could dictate its next move. Ali stated that the altcoin has returned to a make-or-break point, located at the $0.243 level.

Currently, the price seems to be tightening around this key area. Here, the support and resistance dynamics are expected to dictate the next significant direction as indicated by the market expert. According to Ali, this make-or-break zone has historically acted as the ultimate pivot for ADA’s trend.

This is backed by past scenarios where hitting this level becomes the launchpad for significant rebounds. At this point, a continued upward action falls into the bulls’ hands. If these investors can defend this floor, the positioning could set the stage for a relief rally toward the $0.03 resistance.

However, when ADA fails to hold here and loses the zone on a daily close, it would be a major structural failure and shift into a bearish phase. Ali highlighted that the breakdown here could expose ADA to a deeper correction, potentially testing the yearly lows near the $

Breaking: XRP Goes Live on Solana
The Solana network has integrated XRP, according to a Friday announcement.

The integration bridges the gap between two of the cryptocurrency industry's most prominent ecosystems.

According to an announcement from the official Solana X account on April 17, 2026, the highly anticipated integration is now fully live, injecting fresh cross-chain liquidity into the network's decentralized finance (DeFi) space.

The asset has been launched as a wrapped token, designated as wXRP.

The Solana Foundation partnered with LayerZero and Hex Trust, two major infrastructure providers, in order to be able to facilitate this massive cross-chain move.

In a classic example of long-term crypto gains, an investment in Ripple’s XRP made five years ago in 2020 has delivered nearly 700% returns. Investors who held through multiple market cycles over the past six years have been significantly rewarded, highlighting how patience in volatile assets can sometimes lead to substantial gains.
Back in April 2020, XRP was trading around $0.18, according to historical data from CoinGecko. Fast forward to 2026, and the price is now hovering near $1.43, representing roughly a sevenfold increase.
For comparison, the S&P 500 has gained about 185% over the same period, meaning XRP has outperformed traditional equities by roughly 3.5 times in terms of returns.
At its peak in July 2025, when XRP briefly reached $3.65, the token had delivered gains of nearly 1,930% from its 2020 levels. At that point, a $10,000 investment would have grown to over $200,000. Even at current levels, that same investment would still be worth around $80,000.
Should investors consider XRP again?
At the moment, XRP is trading in a relatively tight range near $1.43, showing signs of consolidation. Some analysts suggest that buying on dips could be a viable strategy, especially if macroeconomic conditions remain uncertain in the short term.
However, volatility remains a key factor. Broader market pressures could still push prices lower before any sustained upward move.
On the positive side, Ripple continues to expand its financial services and institutional partnerships, which could support long-term demand for XRP if adoption continues to grow.
From a long-term perspective, some investors believe holding XRP through the next decade (2032–2036) could be potentially rewarding, especially if blockchain adoption accelerates globally.
Still, like all crypto assets, XRP remains highly speculative, #Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge .

Stellar Price Forecast: Bullish momentum builds with technical breakout, high quarterly transaction activity



Stellar ($XLM) price trades slightly down at $0.167 on Friday, after breaking above the descending trendline and rallying over 10% so far this week. The bullish sentiment builds as $XLM’s network transactions reach a quarterly high, alongside positive funding rates and bullish momentum indicators.

Surge in network activity

Chainspect, a blockchain fundamentals tracker, data shows that Stellar processed over 14.19 million transactions on Thursday, its highest level in the past quarter. These surging transactions highlight increased interest and liquidity among traders in the $XLM, supporting a bullish outlook.

On the derivative side, $XLM funding rates have also flipped positive on Monday and read at 0.011% on Friday, indicating the longs are paying the shorts. Historically, when funding rates have turned positive and surged, $XLM price has rallied sharply.

$XLM Price Forecast: Price action shows a bullish breakout in play

Stellar price is trading at $0.166 on Friday, after breaking above the descending trendline at $0.1580 the previous day. $XLM is maintaining a corrective tone below the medium- and long-term Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) as the current price remains capped beneath the 100-day EMA at $0.180 and well under the 200-day EMA at $0.215.

The 50-day EMA at $0.164 now offers nearby dynamic support, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) around 55 and a slightly positive Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram hint that downside momentum has faded but not yet flipped the structure.

On the topside, initial resistance is seen at the 100-day EMA around $0.180, followed by the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of t

8,000 Jobs'—Polymarket Sees Tech Layoff Surge As Meta AI Push Bites
We're starting to see projects that used to require big teams now be accomplished by a single very talented person." That was Mark Zuckerberg, talking up the rise of artificial intelligence inside Meta this year. On Friday, Reuters reported the corollary: the Meta layoffs investors had been bracing for are coming, with roughly 8,000 jobs cut starting May 20, about 10% of its 79,000-person workforce.

Bettors on Polymarket, the prediction market backed by Wall Street's Intercontinental Exchange, saw it coming. The site's Meta headcount and Meta share-price markets, with about $112,000 in combined volume, were already pricing the cuts as both inevitable and good for the stock before Reuters published. The broader "Tech Layoffs Up or Down in 2026?" book has been at 77% Up all month and the Q1 companion has collapsed to 96% Up, essentially calling the quarter resolved before it formally settles on May 5.

How Many Tech Workers Polymarket Sees Losing Jobs

The Meta-specific markets tell the cleaner version of the story. A Polymarket book on "Meta headcount above ___ in Q1?" with about $46,000 in volume is essentially certain Meta finished the quarter above 75,000 employees (99%) and 76,000 (98%), but only gives 32% odds it stayed above 77,000 and 11% odds above 78,000. That implies an end-of-Q1 headcount near 76,500, down from the 79,000 figure Reuters used as the baseline. About 2,500 Meta jobs are already gone. The May 20 wave will take that to roughly 11,000 cuts on the year.

The market is pricing the cuts as good news for the stock. A separate "What price will Meta hit in April?" book with $66,000 in volume has Meta already clearing $700 (85% Yes), $730 priced at 42%, and a downside dip to $540 trading at just 5.75%. The combined volume on the Meta-specific markets is over $112,000, well above the threshold for serious sentiment. The sector-wide markets agree. Polymar
