Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodities strategist Mike McGlone has made a noteworthy price prediction for Bitcoin (BTC) in 2026. McGlone stated that the leading cryptocurrency could face a sharp correction if it fails to maintain its current levels, saying, “Prove me wrong; Bitcoin must stay above $75,000.” According to McGlone, Bitcoin’s historical price behavior may point to a downward scenario in the current cycle. The analyst recalled that Bitcoin’s price traded around $10,000 for an extended period before the massive liquidity expansion of 2020–2021, arguing that the possibility of the market returning to a similar level should not be ignored.

Support for crypto rules in the U.S. just got louder. But progress still feels stuck. At a private event in Florida, Donald Trump backed the CLARITY Act again. He made one thing clear. He does not want banks deciding the future of crypto. Yet even with that support, the bill is not moving fast. Lawmakers are still debating key details. Time is running short and the gap between political support and real action is starting to show. Trump Backs Bill at Private Event The latest push came at an invite-only gathering at Mar-a-Lago. The event hosted top holders of a…

Bitcoin held near $67K for a third straight day on April 5, even as market sentiment turned sharply weaker across major crypto communities. The asset slipped 0.50% during the day, but it still remained trapped inside the same multi-month range that has defined much of last week’s price action. That price stability contrasted with a visible deterioration in trader mood. Santiment reported the most bearish discussion ratio since February 28, while the Crypto Fear and Greed Index fell to 30. Together, those readings showed a market that was not collapsing in price, yet was clearly losing confidence. Sentiment Weakens While…

There is a growing tension in Ethereum’s market structure that is worth addressing directly. On-chain, the supply picture is arguably the most constructive it has been in a while. On the chart, however, $ETH is still struggling to clear a resistance zone it has now tested four times in six weeks. The resolution of that tension, one way or the other, is likely coming soon. Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart On the daily chart, the story is familiar. $ETH is at $2.3k, the descending channel’s upper boundary has been broken, and the price is struggling with the 100-day MA,…

A $10m SOFR options win on “higher for longer” rates shows where real money is made upstream of crypto, as oil‑driven inflation forces markets to kill early Fed cuts. Summary A trader reportedly made about $10 million this month on SOFR‑linked options initiated in January, effectively shorting the market’s dovish Fed path. Surging oil and Middle East risk have revived inflation fears, pushing yields higher, slashing odds of near‑term cuts, and revaluing the entire front‑end rates surface. Slower, shallower easing supports the dollar and front‑end yields, choking risk appetite for duration trades from long‑dated tech to high‑beta altcoins and DeFi.…

A crypto investor raised a genuine concern about $XRP this week. Ripple’s CTO answered it in one sentence. Mason Versluis put the question plainly: Ripple holds 34 billion $XRP tokens. If global banks adopt $XRP and prices reach the levels the community expects, Ripple would become the most valuable financial institution on the planet. Would banks, after conducting extreme due diligence on a cryptocurrency asset, really sign off on making that happen? Ripple CTO David Schwartz was unmoved by the logic. His reply: “Yeah, this makes business sense for us to do and would make us money, but we don’t…

The European Union (EU) released its “biggest package” of sanctions in two years against Russia, describing the measures as far-reaching and restrictive. They specifically target crypto with a total ban on providers and platforms established in that country. “Russia is becoming increasingly reliant on cryptocurrencies for international transactions,” the EU said in an April 23 statement. “The EU is introducing a total sectoral ban on providers and platforms established in Russia that allow the transfer and exchange of crypto assets.” The bloc also banned Russia’s central bank digital currency (CBDC), the ruble-pegged RUBx stablecoin and all EU support for the…
