Just punched through $79,000 and printed a monthly high of $79,472 before cooling to the $77.3K-$78.1K zone. Current price: $77,828with an intraday high of $79,485.66.
The $77.4K level is no longer resistance. BTC tested $79 pulled back and is now holding above $77.4K. As Michael van de Poppe put it: as long as $75K support holds BTC targets *$85K-$88K in 1-2 weeks.
Why This Move Matters 1. Structure Flip Key resistance cracked: $79K was the “signal line” ceiling on the weekly that bears defended since October. We’re testing it with intent. Support stack: $72K-$73K cluster, deeper Fib support at $68K-$70K. $77.4K now becomes the line in the sand for bulls. 2c5ed746
2. Flows + Liquidity ETF inflows: 8 straight days, $223M on Apr 23 alone, led by BlackRock’s IBIT. Spot Bitcoin ETFs added $335M+ last week. Whales accumulating: Wallets with 10-10,000 BTC added ∼41,000 BTC since Apr 10. Strategy bought 34,164 BTC for $2.54B, now holds 815,061 BTC. Exchange reserves near ATLs: Scarcity amplifies buying pressure, low intent to sell. b5c822e181e9
3. Derivatives Setup Short squeeze fuel: $1.54B in short liquidations stacked up to $81K. $879M in longs sit at $76,829 - that’s the magnet if we lose $77.4K. OI rising: Total open interest +6.7% in 24h to 260,000 BTC. Futures OI jumped 9% to $62B. Funding negative: -0.0092% while OI climbs to $60.54B = shorts piling in as price holds. Classic squeeze setup. 9cf124d6c88898fa
4. Macro Tailwinds Stablecoin dry powder: USDT supply ∼$150B, +$5B in 2 weeks. Capital waiting on sidelines. Risk-on mood: S&P 500 + Nasdaq back near ATHs. Markets “stopped caring” about Middle East headlines per Wintermute OTC. Best April in a year: BTC +13.6% MTD, ending longest losing streak since 2018.BTCSurpasses$79K
Sounds insane, but last year I nearly uninstalled Pixels daily. Gas was bleeding me, land prices were delusional, and upgrade mats had me hardstuck. Logging in felt like signing up to get mad.
Then I checked my ledger and realized the twist: the money I "lost" didn't vanish. It got cemented into the game's skeleton.
Most P2E games panic when players lose money and quit. Pixels didn't chain me to the desk. They did something colder: turned my losses into other people's upside and whispered, "Walk away. That cash isn't yours anymore."
Examples: That PIXEL I burned on speedups? Not team revenue. It hit the burn pool, deflating supply for all holders. My 5% guild Shard fees? Straight to the treasury, split with the guys still grinding beside me. The buildings I fixed, the plots I tilled? Even AFK, that productivity stays. Next guy works less because I worked more.
This isn't a game. It's a glacial asset vault. I thought burned funds were deleted. Turns out those sinks are slow piggy banks. The value sits there, reshaped, waiting for someone patient enough to claim it. And the system doesn't care if you're a whale, a minnow, early, or late. Touch production and you bleed value into the bedrock.
PIXEL's burn mechanics are quietly purging flippers and recalling builders. It's a bloodless economic purge. You're not just buying a token. You're buying a moat that's hardening, one others can't cross but you still can. Do the math
i. It’s actually fun not just “click to earn" Pixels nailed the Stardew Valley vibe but onchain. You farm, explore, craft, own land raise pets and hang out in a persistent world. The core loop is gameplay-first, so people log in because they enjoy it not just to extract tokens. Founder Luke Barwikowski pushes “play-to-ENJOY” over pure speculation.
ii. Real utility for $PIXEL The token isn’t a meme it’s baked into the game economy. You pixel for NFT mints VIP Battle Passes joining guilds premium QoL upgrades and eventually treasury governance. So demand comes from players spending not just traders.
iii. Multi-game ecosystem Pixels started as one game but is becoming a platform. pixels now integrated into Forgotten Runivers too meaning one token works across multiple titles. Interoperability more reasons to hold and use it.
iv. Strong chain + backing Built on Ronin Network, which specializes in gaming and handles Axie Infinity’s scale. Raised $4.8M from Framework Ventures Sky Mavis, YGG, and launched via Binance Launchpool. That’s top-tier infra and VC belief.
v. Community-owned direction pixel will govern a community treasury. Plus campaigns like Binance CreatorPad actively reward users for creating content, building a grassroots army. The focus on guilds and social-fi makes it sticky. #pixel $PIXEL @Pixels
#IranRejectsSecondRoundTalks is trending because Iran officially refused to join the second round of peace talks with the US.
What happened: On Sunday, April 19, 2026, Iran’s state news agency IRNA announced it would not attend the second round of talks. This came hours after President Trump said US envoys were heading to Pakistan Monday to negotiate, warning Iran to accept terms or face strikes.
Why Iran rejected — according to IRNA: 1. “Excessive demands, unrealistic expectations” from Washington 2. “Constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions”* in the US position 3. Naval blockade* — Iran says the ongoing US naval blockade in the Gulf violates the ceasefire
The US Current position: Trump posted on Truth Social that the US was offering a “very fair and reasonable DEAL” and threatened to “knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran” if they refuse. The US delegation was supposed to include VP JD Vance, Steve Witkoff, and Jared Kushner.
Background: First round: Held April 15, 2026 in Islamabad, lasted 21 hours but ended without agreement Ceasefire: A 2-week truce began April 8 and expires April 22, 2026 Strait of Hormuz: Still closed, disrupting shipping
Pakistan’s role: Talks were planned in Islamabad with Pakistan mediating. But Pakistan’s foreign ministry said Thursday that no dates had been set for a second round.
Current situation: With the ceasefire ending in 2 days, talks rejected, and the strait still shut, tensions are high. Reuters noted this could trigger an oil price surge when markets reopen.
The US highest CPI since 2022 was 9.1% in June 2022. However, the latest data shows the annual inflation rate in the US was 3.3% for the 12 months ending March 2026, up from 2.4% in February 2026.
Here's a rough breakdown of the CPI trend: February 2026: 2.4% March 2026: 3.3% (latest data)
The increase is largely attributed to rising energy prices, particularly gasoline, which jumped 21.2% in March 2026. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, rose 2.6% in March 2026. #HighestCPISince2022
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee is no longer planning to hold a confirmation hearing for Kevin Warsh, U.S. President Donald Trump's pick to run the Federal Reserve, next week, Punchbowl News reported on Thursday, citing two sources familiar with planning.
As of late Thursday, the panel had not yet set or announced a hearing date, which under its rules requires a five-day advance notice. Hearings are almost exclusively held Tuesdays through Thursdays, making April 21 likely the earliest potential date for a Warsh nomination hearing. The delay narrows the window for full Senate confirmation before current Fed Chair Jerome Powell's leadership term ends on May 15. Powell has said that should Warsh not yet be confirmed by then he would continue to serve as chair "pro tem." The committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Punchbowl reported on March 29 that the hearing would be next week. Reporting by Jasper Ward in Washington; Editing by Daphne Psaledakis and Cynthia Osterman. #FedNomineeHearingDelay
