Bitcoin, the first and largest cryptocurrency by market cap, may have recently pulled off a technically significant move — but not everyone is impressed. Veteran trader Peter Brandt recently reacted on X in response to an analysis by crypto analyst Rekt Capital, who highlighted that Bitcoin (BTC) has broken its multi-month downtrend, successfully retested it as support and held above it for several consecutive days — a pattern typically considered as bullish. Brandt, who previously highlighted Bitcoin’s boring and repetitive price action in previous posts, reacted with a yawn emoji. In a tweet on April 17, Brandt commented on Bitcoin’s…

Scroll, the Ethereum layer-2 network, shared Wednesday that it has launched its Euclid upgrade, which the team called its most significant protocol transformation to date. According to Scroll Labs, a key consequence of the upgrade is that it transitions Scroll from a “stage 0” to a “stage 1” rollup, meaning the network will retire some centrally-controlled safety features in an effort to become more decentralized. “Euclid represents the biggest leap forward for Scroll since its inception,” the team wrote in a blog post shared with CoinDesk. “It’s a statement about Scroll’s future and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of…
Bitcoin (BTC) could rally to as high as $138,555 by the end of the year, according to a new analysis from 21Shares. The report cites a mix of macroeconomic resilience and strengthening on-chain indicators as key drivers behind the optimistic forecast.
