LONDON, April 23 (Reuters) - Eddie Jones saw every press conference as an opportunity, while Roy Hodgson could barely hide his disdain for journalists, and a fascinating insight into how coaches deal with the media has been shortlisted for the Sports Entertainment Book Of The Year.
On the Record & On the Ball - How Elite Coaches Master the Media", published ​by Fairfield Books is the work of Tim Percival, Communications Lead with the England Rugby team, and the product of his two decades working ‌in media relations in elite sport.
It is partly a handbook for coaches and players while also giving media professionals a different perspective on the people they spend their lives chasing and is packed with anecdotes from a range of sports and personalities.
It is partly a handbook for coaches and players while also giving media professionals a different perspective on the people they spend their lives chasing and is packed with anecdotes from a range of sports and personalities.
One of the reasons I wanted to write the book was to help coaches and the sports media understand each other better, as there can often be friction ​between them," Percival told Reuters in an interview.
"I think anyone with an interest in how top-level sport works should find it interesting. It offers a look behind ​the curtain, which people always find intriguing. I also believe it’s a very good book for journalism and communications students.”
If anyone recognised ⁠the psychological opportunity of a press conference, it was former England rugby coach Jones, who was a master of delivering a point he wanted to make, particularly if he ​wanted to bury another. Even the most cynical journalists loved him as he invariably provided colour
Percival saw the Australian up close and personal for nearly three years at England's RFU ​and quotes his former colleague in the book: "Around the world, apart from probably New Zealand, rugby is fighting for recognition, so I think the national coach has got a responsibility to be engaging," Jones said.
The approach often made for compelling viewing. “His media conferences could be absolutely brilliant and very entertaining to be part of,” adds Percival.
Jose Mourinho is another whose "antics" are widely covered in the book, including an explanation ​of how, in his Chelsea days, he had a special two-way relationship with The Sun newspaper, slipping them exclusive morsels but from his own agenda.
Former Australia netball coach Lisa ​Alexander is another who embraced the media. "The press conference is the fifth quarter, and your job doesn’t finish after a game until you go to bed that night," she said.
Almost everything they write about a captain is driven by results so I considered it irrelevant and ​wouldn't play their game," he said.
Atherton's approach ​seems somewhat ironic now he has ⁠become one of the world's most highly-regarded cricket journalists.
Percival thinks the number of interviews Premier League soccer managers are now obliged to do can be excessive, calling it a "treadmill of platitudes", but declines to blame media training for the routinely appalling "footballer-speak" interviews given by players.
The ​fear of saying something that becomes a negative headline makes them tighten up," he said. "It's also linguistic convergence - they learn what 'a ​football interview' sounds like, and ⁠they mimic it.
As the book title suggests, Percival has an intriguing section on the concept of "on/off the record" which, as he illustrates with a series of classic examples, means different things to different people ⁠in different ​places.
The current fashion for news organisations to tell readers they "understand" something is happening is merely their way of ​delivering information someone has given them "for background".
Why this has become so prevalent is anyone's guess and the practice has become so ludicrous that it is now not unusual for press officers to reply to queries by saying: "Off ​the record, we will not be commenting on this."As the book title suggests, Percival has an intriguing section on the concept of "on/off the record" which, as he illustrates with a series of classic examples, means different things to different people ⁠in different ​places.As the book title suggests, Percival has an intriguing section on the concept of "on/off the record" which, as he illustrates with a series of classic examples, means different things to different people ⁠in different ​places.

Breakouts look exciting—but most of them are traps.
Retail traders see price breaking a level and jump in.
Smart traders wait… because they know one thing:
Liquidity comes first.
On charts like Bitcoin, many “breakouts” are actually fake moves designed to trigger stop-losses.
What’s Really Happening?
Price breaks resistance
Traders enter long
Liquidity gets taken
Price reverses sharply
This is called a liquidity sweep.
How to Trade It
Instead of entering the breakout:
Wait for a fake breakout (wick)
Look for rejection
Enter in the opposite direction
This is how professionals turn traps into profits.
Final Thought
Don’t chase breakouts.
Trade the reaction, not the move.

United States President Donald Trump’s nominee to succeed Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh, faced senators, and there was no subtlety. When directly asked if he believes his nomination was directly linked to Trump’s “obsession” with lower rates, the answer was no surprise: he dodged that question – and many others – like a champion.
An educated guess would suggest that US President Trump chose Warsh because of his criticism of current Chair Jerome Powell.
Inflation is a choice, and the Fed’s track record under Chairman Jerome Powell is one of unwise choices,” Warsh stated in an essay titled “The Federal Reserve’s Broken Leadership,” published last November. “Americans would have higher pay and greater purchasing power if the Fed got its act together,” Warsh added. Not bad for a Trump-ish start.
He also put the focus on the massive Fed balance sheet, now running at around $6.7 trillion. Warsh believes the Fed has injected unnecessary liquidity into the economy, pumping up the stock market and boosting deficit spending, while crowding out private investment. Warsh wants to reduce it significantly, that’s out of question.
But Warsh also pushed against the Fed’s narrative of “transitory” inflationary pressures in 2021. “Jerome Powell’s Fed believes the party is just getting started and won’t remove the punch bowl until the fun is in full swing and the neighbors know it,” he noted back then.
Indeed, Warsh has not saved any criticism of Powell, and that was one major factor tipping the scale in his favor.
But don’t be fooled. Warsh is not getting the chair position just because of his criticism of Powell’s actions. He has an extensive background that supports the nomination, including acting as Fed Governor between 2006 and 2011, when the mortgage crisis hit the global economy.
He is also a tech-geek, with strong ties to Silicon Valley monsters, and if confirmed, he will be the wealthiest chair ever. Warsh is also an advocate of the free market, having an anti-regulatory view of the world
Warsh's prepared statement before the Senate Committee gave some discrete hints on where he is heading. Warsh defended the Fed’s independence, but also noted he doesn’t believe that dynamic is endangered when the central bank’s actions are questioned by elected leaders.
It’s well known that Fed chairs over the last few decades have respected continuity. His criticism of Powell and focus on reducing the balance sheet already suggest continuity won’t be as strong as it had been in the past.
President Trump also demands lower rates and even told CNBC on Tuesday that he will be disappointed if Warsh doesn’t cut interest rates “right away” after being confirmed as the next Fed chair. When asked whether he is here to work for the people or for Trump, Warsh said that “all presidents” tend to favor lower interest rates, and that the Fed’s independence is up to the Fed. He also dismissed inflationary pressures related to tariffs, adding that his broad sense is that inflation risk has improved somewhat.
Looking further ahead, the weekly chart for DXY offers a neutral stance. The index seesaws around a directionless 20-week SMA while technical indicators are stuck around their midlines for a second consecutive week, reflecting the lack of directional conviction.
A slide below the aforementioned April low exposes the multi-month bottom set last January at 95.56. A recovery beyond 99, on the other hand, exposes the 99.30 region, while steady gains beyond the latter could signal an extension towards the March peak at 100.54

KAT is currently sitting in a tight range and the market is clearly waiting for a move. The 1D candle structure shows clear consolidation following the recent correction from its March highs. This "coiling" effect usually precedes a significant expansion.
​📍 Key Levels to Watch:
​Support Zone: Price is holding firm near the 0.0080 zone. This level is critical; it’s near the all-time low established earlier this month ($0.0077), and buyers have defended it multiple times. As long as we stay above this, the structural integrity remains.​Resistance Zone: On the upside, the primary hurdle is the 0.0095 to 0.0105 range. A strong daily close above $0.0105 would signal a breakout from the current accumulation base and could trigger a fast move toward $0.013.​💡 Signal Idea:
​Buy Zone: $0.0082 – $0.0086​Targets: $0.0095 🎯 | $0.0105 🎯 | $0.0125 (Extended) 🚀​Stop Loss: Below $0.0077 (Daily Close

⚠️ The Bear Scenario:
​If the market fails to hold the $0.0078 level, the structure turns bearish. In that case, we could see a flush toward 0.0072 or even 0.0065 as the next liquidity pockets.

Final Thought: The overall trend is currently neutral but slightly leaning bullish as it builds a base. This isn't a breakout yet—it’s the setup phase. Volume is the missing ingredient; keep an eye on the 24h volume bars for a spike.

Patience pays. The next 1-2 daily candles will likely define the direction for the rest of April.#Kriptocutrader $KAT #MarketRebound

The engineering organization behind Cardano submitted nine proposals totaling $46.8 million for the 2026 voting cycle, down from $97.5 million last year.
Cardano, like most major blockchains, maintains a shared pool of money funded by network fees, which community representatives vote to allocate toward development work. Input Output historically has been the largest recipient because it employs most of the engineers building the underlying software.
The reduced ask is the first concrete step in a plan to phase out that dependency. Input Output said it now aims to shrink its annual request each year until the company can sustain itself on its own revenue, with community funds going instead to a broader set of smaller engineering groups.
By the end of 2026, Input Output expects smaller, more specialized teams to take on most of the work it currently does in-house, including firms such as VacuumLabs and Midgard Labs that focus on specific layers of the Cardano software.
The nine proposals group into two themes. The larger funds a consensus upgrade called Leios, which Input Output claims will increase Cardano's transaction processing capacity by 10 to 65 times, targeting more than 1,000 transactions per second.
For context, that would move Cardano from a relatively slower chain to one competitive with Solana and the fastest Ethereum layer-2 networks on throughput alone. Leios is scheduled for a test release in June and full deployment by year-end.
The second flagship proposal funds a system called Pogun, which aims to bring Bitcoin-based decentralized finance to Cardano. In practice, it would let bitcoin holders borrow and earn yield on their holdings through Cardano without giving custody to a centralized intermediary. Pogun's lending component is targeted for public release in the second quarter.
Smaller proposals cover performance improvements to Cardano's smart contract engine, security testing infrastructure, developer tools, and expanded API services.
Each proposal names specific delivery leads and ties funding to delivery milestones rather than releasing money upfront. Imagine paying a contractor in stages as different parts of a house are completed, instead of handing over the full budget at the start of construction.
Voting opens Tuesday and runs through May 24. The decisions are made by roughly 1,000 elected delegates known as DReps, who represent ADA holders much as proxy representatives do in a publicly traded company. Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Input Output, is scheduled to release a video this week making the case directly to those delegates.
The vote will test whether Cardano's governance, which has expanded significantly over the past two years, treats Input Output like any other grant applicant or continues to approve its requests largely on a basis of deference.
Last year’s $97.5 million proposal passed, but in the interim the Cardano Foundation has taken over the project’s grant-funding arm, and Intersect, the governance organization running this vote, has assumed stewardship of core Cardano software. Both shifts mean alternatives to Input Output now exist in a way they did not when previous votes went through.
Meanwhile, Input Output also cited progress in the ecosystem in its release. A new Cardano stablecoin, USDCx, reached 14.6 million tokens in circulation within weeks of its launch. Total assets deposited on Cardano, a common measure of a network's usage, rose from $137.5 million to $142.7 million over the same period.
Whether the full slate passes, gets partially funded, or is reshaped entirely by DReps will signal how much the Cardano community's thinking has shifted now that the tools to fund development without Input Output exist.

True Market Mean and Short-Term Holder cost basis form a critical $78.2K to $79.2K range that could define the next major move
The True Market Mean filters out lost, dormant, and economically inactive coins, leaving only the cost basis of participants who are actually present in the market, making it a more precise gauge of where real selling pressure resides
Just above sits the Short-Term Holder realized price (STHRP) at $79,200, according to checkonchain. This cohort, defined as investors holding coins for fewer than 155 days, tends to be more reactive to price swings. With spot prices below their average entry, these participants remain at a slight loss. Bitcoin tested the STHRP in mid-January around $98,000 and got rejected
A sustained move above this zone could shift both levels into support, strengthening bullish momentum. Conversely, failure to reclaim them may prolong bitcoin’s consolidation phase, with potential downside
