Bitcoin is currently trading around the $95,000 mark, with bulls struggling to reclaim higher prices after last week’s surge. BTC has been consolidating just below the critical $96K resistance level, and the next few trading sessions are likely to determine whether a decisive breakout or a breakdown will follow. Market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic, but risks are mounting. If Bitcoin fails to push higher soon and loses the $90,000 support zone, analysts warn that a sharp drop toward lower levels could quickly unfold. Holding above $90K is crucial for sustaining bullish momentum and preventing a deeper correction in the short term. On-chain data adds an interesting layer to the current market dynamics. According to IntoTheBlock, the number of active Bitcoin addresses spiked sharply yesterday, reaching over 800,000. While still below historical highs, this surge signals a notable increase in activity, which is often an early indicator of renewed market demand and growing part...

Bitcoin is trading slightly above $95,000 as the new week kicks off with rising expectations. After months of volatility and uncertainty, BTC has started to show signs of strength, breaking above the critical $90K mark — a major pivot zone for market sentiment. Bulls are now in short-term control, fueling hopes for a larger recovery rally. However, caution remains high as global trade tensions between the US and China continue to create an unstable financial backdrop. One of the most notable developments is Bitcoin’s changing behavior relative to US equities.

The price action over the next few days will be crucial in defining Bitcoin’s short-term and medium-term trend. Supporting the bullish case, data from IntoTheBlock reveals a significant increase in short-term traders’ balances last week, pointing to renewed specul...

Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson has warned that the blockchain’s decade-long experiment in decentralized governance could stumble unless holders approve a “package” budget that keeps his company, Input Output Global (IOG), at the center of the protocol’s next growth phase—a phase he believes could propel ADA to between $3 and $10. Speaking during a livestream on the weekend, the visibly hoarse founder told viewers that he has “drawn a line in the sand” after spending the past five years “working for free” on Cardano-core code. The livestream was triggered by fierce debate over a treasury-funded interim budget that must be reconciled by elected delegate representatives (DReps) before the network’s first on-chain fiscal year closes. “We say, hey, 50, 60, 70 million [ADA] and it could double, triple, quadruple the size of the ecosystem,” Hoskinson said. “We could be looking at $3 ADA, $5 ADA, $10 ADA.” Hoskinson argued that Cardano can only stay relevant if the community backs a coh...

Bitcoin Bullish Flag Signals More Gains Ahead Following Bitcoin’s recent price surge, X market analyst Titan of Crypto reports that a clear bull flag has emerged on the 4-hour chart, suggesting a strong potential for a sustained price rally. The bull flag pattern, which signals continuation, consists of a sharp rise — the “flagpole”, as seen when BTC prices moved from $83,000 to $94,700 between April 20 – April 23.

Bitcoin is now trading above the $94,000 level, showing strong momentum after a sharp recovery from recent lows. Bulls are pushing hard to reclaim the $95,000 mark, a critical level that could signal the continuation of an uptrend toward new all-time highs.

Still, Bitcoin has shown resilience, decoupling from traditional markets in recent sessions and maintaining strong price action even as equities falter. According to CryptoQuant data, a key bullish signal is emerging: the Coinbase Premium Gap has stayed positive for 265 straight hours.

Bitcoin is currently trading above $93,000, showing strength after weeks of volatility and consolidation. The latest breakout suggests bulls are gaining control, with momentum leaning toward a continued push higher. However, macroeconomic uncertainty continues to cloud market sentiment, with analysts split on what’s next. Some believe this marks the beginning of a recovery phase, while others warn that the worst of the correction may still lie ahead. Adding to the mixed signals, new data from CryptoQuant reveals that short-term holders—those who have been underwater for the past three months—are now actively selling their coins. This wave of profit-taking appears to have temporarily stalled Bitcoin’s upward trajectory, acting as resistance just as bulls attempt to reclaim the $95K–$100K zone. Historically, this type of selling activity from short-term holders tends to occur during moments of fragile optimism, potentially slowing growth until stronger conviction returns. For now, all ...
