Solana price also broke an inverse head and shoulders pattern. How long will it continue to rise?
Analysts are optimistic about Solana Analysts at #criptomonedas have a predominantly bullish sentiment towards Solana.
Tradermayne believes the price will rise to $40. But his bullish analysis is conditional on a bullish weekly candle close.
Rager and DaanCrypto also noted the importance of the $38 horizontal resistance area, which coincides with the yearly high. This area has been crucial since 2021, supporting and resisting.

The 'Game of Thrones' in Iran is spiking volatility and Washington demands direct contact"
The president #DonaldTrump has officially announced the cancellation of a key diplomatic mission in Islamabad, Pakistan. His representatives were set to meet with Iranian leaders, but the order for immediate withdrawal is firm and decisive.
"I've just canceled my representatives' trip to Islamabad, Pakistan, to meet with the Iranians. We're wasting too much time traveling; it's too much work! Plus, there's massive internal strife and confusion within their 'leadership.' No one knows who's in charge, not even they themselves. Besides, we hold all the cards; they have none! If they want to talk, they just need to call!!!". #oil #OilMarket $CL $BTC $ETH
The inverse correlation that’s stalling the rally of #bitcoin
Bitcoin's honeymoon above $79,000 has hit an unexpected snag: the resilience of the greenback. After years of decoupling, the relationship between the Dollar Index (DXY) and #BTC has returned to critical levels, dictating the crypto market’s tempo with a statistical precision not seen since 2022.
Extreme Correlation: The 30-day correlation coefficient has dropped to -0.90, confirming an almost perfect inverse relationship. Currently, 81% of Bitcoin's price movements are directly linked to fluctuations in the dollar.
DXY Bounce: As the dollar rises towards 98.75 points, driven by global uncertainty, the bullish momentum of BTC has cooled off. This dollar strength acts as an anchor for risk assets.
Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz: Geopolitical risks between the U.S. and Iran have pushed oil prices up for five consecutive sessions. This keeps inflation alive and pressures risk premiums upward, benefiting the dollar and hurting the "easy money" narrative for cryptocurrencies.
ETF Containment Wall: Despite macro pressures, sustained capital inflows into Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. are acting as a lifeline, preventing a deeper correction and keeping prices stable at high levels.
Anthony Scaramucci (SkyBridge Capital) warns that a real recovery could be delayed until October or November. According to the analyst, "whales" and long-term investors are using the liquidity of ETFs to distribute their holdings, a typical behavior within the halving cycle. #oil #OilMarket $BTC $CL

OIL SOARS AFTER REPORTS OF AIR DEFENSE ACTIVITY IN TEHRAN
The global energy market has reacted with a bullish move.
West Texas Intermediate #WTI saw a sharp spike of $3.68, reaching $96.64 per barrel, which represents a 3.96% increase in just a few minutes.
This price surge comes right after local reports emerged about the activation of air defense systems in Iran, specifically over the skies of Tehran. #oil #OilMarket $CL $BTC
The "wall" blocking your USDT purchases in Venezuela
The bottleneck of national cards
If you've been trying to buy USDT directly with your debit or credit card on Binance and have encountered a systematic error, it's not your internet or a block on your account. The exchange giant has tweaked its integration filters, and right now, the "key" to the crypto ecosystem is only held by four financial institutions in the country.
The banks that ARE operational As of now, Binance maintains a stable payment gateway only with these four issuers:
Banco de Venezuela (BDV)
Bancamiga
Banco Provincial (BBVA)
Banco Nacional de Crédito (BNC)
What happened to the rest? The big surprise and frustration for users lies in the technical exclusion of Banco del Tesoro and Banco Digital de los Trabajadores (formerly Bicentenario). While these cards allowed direct purchases of digital assets months ago, recent updates in Binance's security and reconciliation protocols have left these cards out of the game for the time being.
If your bank isn't on the list of the "four chosen ones," the transaction will be automatically rejected.
Documentary reveals that #SatoshiNakamoto was a duo, Hal Finney and Len Sassaman
After 18 years of theories, conspiracies, and failed searches, the most ambitious journalistic investigation to date, captured in the documentary "Finding Satoshi," has reached a conclusion that shakes the foundations of the industry: the creator of #bitcoin was not a single mind, but rather a secret collaboration between two giants of the cypherpunk movement: Hal Finney and Len Sassaman.
The investigation, led by financial journalist William D. Cohan and the private intelligence agency QRI, presents a case based on empirical evidence and testimonies from those who worked closely with the candidates.
The theory suggests that Hal Finney (the engineer able to program in C++ under pressure and creator of RPOW) developed the code, while Len Sassaman (an academic expert in linguistics and anonymity) drafted the whitepaper. This would explain why the document has an academic tone that Finney didn't typically use.
Coincidences in Timing: Sassaman took his own life in July 2011, just months after Satoshi posted his last farewell message: "I've moved on to other things."
Analysis of "Digital Rhythms": Data scientists confirmed that Satoshi's mining and communication activity coincides only with the sleep and awake schedules of Finney and Sassaman in North America.
Given the evidence that Finney was running a marathon while Satoshi was sending emails, the answer is simple: Sassaman was at the keyboard.
Unlike other candidates driven by ego or money, the documentary highlights that both Finney (who passed away in 2014) and Sassaman were idealists seeking to return financial power to the common people. "If you ask him: 'Are you one of the creators of Bitcoin?', the answer is yes," states Will Price, Finney's former colleague at PGP, suggesting that Hal always denied being #Satoshi individually because, technically, it was a team effort. $BTC
#JustinSun sues World Liberty Financial for fraud and "asset seizure"
What started as a strategic alliance between two of the most controversial names in the ecosystem has ended up in court. Justin Sun, founder of #Tron , has launched a legal offensive against World Liberty Financial #WLFI , the DeFi project backed by the president's family #DonaldTrump , alleging a scheme of extortion, market manipulation, and covert centralization.
The lawsuit, filed this Tuesday, reveals a complete breakdown after an initial investment of $45 million from Sun.
The Crypto "Corralito": Sun claims that WLFI altered the smart contract in August 2025 to include a secret "blacklist." This feature allowed them to freeze his WLFI tokens without prior notice or governance vote, invalidating the supposed decentralized nature of the project.
Alleged $200 Million Blackmail: According to the document, the blocking of funds was a pressure tactic to force Sun to mint $200 million of the company’s stablecoin (USD1) within the Tron network, under conditions imposed by WLFI.
Market Manipulation: The lawsuit argues that by preventing Sun (one of the largest holders) from selling, WLFI kept the price of WLFI artificially inflated for the benefit of the founders and the corporate treasury.
Threats and Defamation: Sun directly points to Chase Herro (co-founder of WLFI), accusing him of threatening to "burn" his tokens and of reporting him to U.S. authorities using alleged irregularities in his KYC documentation.
"I just want to be treated the same as any other early investor: neither better nor worse," Sun stated on X, also distancing himself from the project's new governance proposals. $WLFI $TRX
#bitcoin breaks the $78,000 ceiling The "Trump Effect" and supply shock ignite crypto euphoria
The crypto ecosystem has moved past weeks of uncertainty. After a sideways period that kept traders on edge, #BTC has broken through the resistance of $78,000, catalyzing a widespread rally in the digital asset market.
What's driving this move? The breakout isn't a coincidence; it responds to a confluence of geopolitical and technical factors.
Geopolitics and Risk: The decision by President #DonaldTrump to extend the ceasefire with Iran has injected optimism into global markets, easing tensions and fostering a risk-on appetite for assets.
Goodbye to range volatility: The oscillation between $65,000 and $75,000 that dominated March and early April is over. According to analysts at Marex, this breakout forces short sellers to reassess their strategy and gives the green light to momentum traders.
The Supply Shock: Data from CryptoQuant reveals a multi-year low in BTC reserves on centralized exchanges (2.67 million BTC). Fewer coins available for sale means greater scarcity and more aggressive bullish pressure.
"Bitcoin is becoming increasingly scarce: a lower supply implies greater volatility," highlight Delta Exchange, emphasizing that long-term investors are absorbing the available liquidity.
The counterpoint: Are there clouds on the horizon? Despite the optimism, QCP Capital advises caution. The crypto market remains closely tied to traditional macroeconomic variables. Oil: With WTI crude hovering around $90, any energy fluctuations will impact inflation and, consequently, BTC. The Fed: Clarity on interest rates will be the final judge to determine if this rally is sustainable or a liquidity trap. #oil $BTC $CL

In a dramatic turn for the financial markets, Strategy #MSTR has achieved what many considered impossible after the rise of exchange-traded funds, taking the lead from giant BlackRock (IBIT) as the world's largest holder of Bitcoin.
The Return of the King: After losing its crown in the second quarter of 2024, Strategy returns to the top with 815.061 BTC, surpassing by more than 12,000 units the 802.824 #BTC held by the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT).
Aggressiveness in the Bear Market: While the market wobbled with declines exceeding 50% from the October highs, the company led by Michael Saylor accelerated its purchases, accumulating nearly 80,000 BTC alone in 2026.
Financial Engineering vs. Passivity: The big difference lies in the business model. While BlackRock's ETF is a passive investment vehicle, Strategy uses strategic leverage: Issuance of convertible debt. Stocks in the market (ATM). The innovative perpetual preferred stock fund (STRC), which has been the "ultimate fuel" for this latest major purchase.
Explosive Performance: The "smart accumulation" strategy has paid off on the trading floor. Since January 2024, while the IBIT has risen a respectable 55%, MicroStrategy's shares have skyrocketed by 250%, demonstrating investors' appetite for leveraged exposure. $BTC $MSTR
#AAVE faces an uncollectible debt of up to $230M while the "contagion" devours the liquidity of Layer 2
The definitive technical report following the exploit of #KelpDAO reveals a nightmare scenario for Aave. Although the protocol functioned correctly, the use of rsETH as collateral — an asset that lost its backing after the failure of the LayerZero bridge — has left Aave with a financial hole that varies drastically depending on how Kelp DAO decides to distribute the losses.
1. Anatomy of the blow: 116,500 rsETH created "out of thin air" The attacker exploited a vulnerability in the Kelp bridge between Unichain and Ethereum. With a minimum security setup (DVN 1 of 1), the hacker managed to trick the system into releasing 116,500 rsETH on Ethereum without having deposited anything on the source chain. The loot in Aave: Of those stolen tokens, 89,567 rsETH ended up deposited in Aave as collateral to extract loans of real assets (mainly WETH). Broken invariant: Currently, there are only 40,373 rsETH backed for a total of 152,577 claims in circulation.
2. The two scenarios of the "Uncollectible Debt" The risk management report presents two possible futures for Aave, depending on whether Kelp socializes the losses globally or only in the affected networks.
Scenario 1 (Uniform Socialization): The loss is distributed among all rsETH holders. Impact: The token loses 15.12% of its value. Total uncollectible debt: $123.7 million. Main affected: Ethereum Core absorbs $91.7M, but it is manageable due to its large size.
Scenario 2 (Isolated losses in L2): The rsETH on Ethereum maintains its value, but that of Layer 2 (L2) collapses with only 26% backing. Impact: The token in L2 loses 73.54% of its value. Total uncollectible debt: $230.1 million. Disaster zones: Mantle would suffer a deficit of 71.45% of its WETH reserve, and Arbitrum 26.67%.
Does Aave have money to pay? The Aave DAO has $181 million on its balance sheet to absorb losses. $AAVE
THE LAZARUS STRIKE North Korea drains $292 million from #KelpDAO and causes a massive exodus in #AAVE
The decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem is facing one of its most acute crises of confidence after it was confirmed that the hack of Kelp DAO, which occurred on April 18, was a precision operation carried out by cybercriminals linked to North Korea. The attack not only evaporated 116,500 rsETH tokens but also exposed negligent structural failures in the security of cross-chain bridges.
Key points of the incident: The "Single Point of Failure" error
The authorship: #LayerZero directly links the attack to the Lazarus Group (TraderTraitor). The attackers used an "RPC node poisoning" technique combined with a DDoS attack to force the network to validate false messages. Negligence in design: The exploit was possible because Kelp DAO operated with a DVN 1/1 configuration. Ignoring previous warnings from LayerZero, the protocol had no redundancy; only one node (which was compromised) needed to be validated to authorize the withdrawal of funds. LayerZero's response: In a drastic move, the interoperability infrastructure announced that it would stop signing messages for any application that insists on maintaining single-node security configurations (1/1).
Domino Effect: Panic in Aave and collapse of TVL
Financial contagion: The attacker deposited the loot in Aave V3 to request massive loans in WETH, generating uncollectible debt. This forced Aave to freeze the rsETH markets. Capital flight: Fear took hold of users. In less than 48 hours, Aave recorded an outflow of more than $10 billion, reducing its total deposits from $45.8 billion to $35.7 billion. Sector paralysis: In the face of contagion risk, giants like Ethena, Curve, and Tron DAO have suspended their bridges linked to LayerZero. Globally, the TVL of the entire DeFi ecosystem has collapsed by 7.81%. $AAVE $ZRO
THE 'STRETCH' OF SAYLOR STRATEGY REVOLUTIONIZES ITS PREFERRED SHARES WITH BIWEEKLY DIVIDENDS TO SHATTER VOLATILITY"
High Performance Financial Engineering
#strategy not only is accumulating satoshis, it is now redesigning how it pays its investors to turn its shares into an even more efficient safe-haven asset.
Biweekly payments, not annual: The company has requested to change the frequency of dividends for its series of preferred shares STRC "Stretch". The goal is to pay every 15 days, an almost unprecedented frequency in the traditional market, aiming to "stabilize prices and mitigate cyclicality".
Unbeatable yield of 11.5%: #MichaelSaylor clarified that the dividend rate does not change. Investors will continue to receive that juicy 11.5% annually, but with much greater immediate liquidity thanks to the frequency of payments.
War against volatility: The strategy is working. The volatility of these shares has already dropped from 13% to 2.1% in recent months. With biweekly payments, the team at #MSTR expects the stock to behave almost linearly, increasing its institutional appeal.
A success of 6.4 billion: The market has responded with a voracious appetite. There is already $6.4B (nominal value) in circulation of this STRC series, consolidating it as one of the most popular treasury tools in the sector.
Key dates: The voting on this amendment closes on June 8. If approved (as expected), the first biweekly "check" would reach shareholders on July 15. #CryptoNews $MSTR $BTC
MSTR ON FIRE THE RETURN OF KING BITCOIN TO $77,000 PUTS SAYLOR BACK IN THE GREEN AND DRIVES STOCKS UP 10%
Today's session marks a fundamental technical and psychological milestone for the market.
⚡ 1. Bitcoin breaks the "glass ceiling" After weeks of struggle, #bitcoin has finally surpassed $77,000, a level not seen since the crash on February 5. It has overcome the resistance of the 100-day moving average (100DMA) located at $74,774. After two previous rejections in March, this breakout above $76,300 confirms that the bulls have regained full control of the price.
💰 2. #strategy (#MSTR ) returns to profitability The institutional "HODL" strategy of #MichaelSaylor is paying off again. With the company's average purchase price at $75,577, the current jump in Bitcoin has pulled the company out of the red: MSTR shares have risen 10.94%, trading at $165.28. The operating volume is massive, standing 163% above its average, indicating a strong influx of institutional capital.
📈 3. Long-Term Trend Signals It's not just a momentary bounce; there is structural validation: MSTR is trading above its 200-week moving average, a key indicator that defines multi-year trends. The 25% rebound from #BTC since its February lows suggests that support at $60,000 was the definitive floor of this cycle. $MSTR $BTC
FROM CHAOS TO CRASH OIL PLUNGES AFTER THE ORMUZ PACT AND OPENS THE DOOR TO A RALLY IN RISK ASSETS
The reopening of the Strait of Ormuz has triggered a massive correction in energy prices.
🔻 1. The price collapse Uncertainty has been replaced by aggressive liquidation. After touching dangerous highs this week, prices have reacted violently downward: #WTI (USA): It has plummeted a staggering 10.61%, settling at $84.64, breaking the psychological support of 85 dollars. #brent (Global Reference): It collapses 9.67% down to $89.78. It is worth noting that we came from a peak of $105.63 just a few days ago; a loss of over 15 dollars in record time.
🚢 2. The "Ceasefire" factor Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, confirmed that the opening is not coincidental: it is aligned with the ceasefire in Lebanon. The commitment is to keep the passage "completely open" for all commercial vessels for as long as the truce lasts, eliminating the "risk premium" that inflated prices.
📈 3. Investor Reading (Crypto & Equity) For the cryptocurrency market, this is bullish fuel: Less inflation, more liquidity, falling oil eases inflationary pressures. If oil drops, the chances that central banks will maintain or lower rates increase, which is music to the ears of Bitcoin holders and tech assets. #oil #OilMarket $CL $BTC $SOL
PEACE OR STRATEGY? #TRUMP ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ AND SHAKES GLOBAL MARKETS
The post from President #DonaldTrump on Truth Social marks a possible turning point in an escalation of tensions that kept the world on edge.
After days of mutual threats and an effective naval blockade, Trump communicates that Iran has conceded and the Strait is "completely open". This is vital, as nearly 20% of the world's oil passes through this route.
The change in tone: After having threatened to attack critical infrastructure (bridges and power plants) if Iran did not yield, Trump closes the message with a "THANK YOU!", suggesting that last-minute negotiations —possibly led by figures like JD Vance or even Jared Kushner— have borne fruit.
Political Victory: Trump presents this fact as a direct triumph of his "maximum pressure" policy, demonstrating that his aggressive rhetoric forced Tehran to reopen the maritime route without the need to fire a single missile.
Immediate Impact (The "Crypto-Angle"): For us in the crypto world, this is a signal of "Risk-On". The fear of an open war usually sends investors towards gold or stablecoins, but a diplomatic resolution tends to stabilize the price of Bitcoin and reduce the extreme volatility caused by geopolitical fear. #oil #OilMarket $BTC $CL
