Open interest (OI) did not rebuild leverage after hitting a peak of 319,499 BTC, but instead fell back to 293,045 BTC.

On April 17th, Bitcoin's price briefly broke above $76,000 before falling back again, continuing this week's volatile trend. The approximately 10% rally driven by news of a US-Iran ceasefire is gradually fading, and the market is shifting from emotion-driven trading to validation of actual economic recovery signals.
Institutional views indicate that a simple ceasefire is no longer sufficient to support further gains in risk assets; investors are more focused on tangible progress such as the restoration of energy supplies, the decline in crude oil risk premiums, and easing inflation. The key va

On April 16, according to CoinDesk, Bitcoin is currently hovering around $75,000, with prices facing supply pressure, but institutional demand remains stable. Market sentiment is boosted by news of the extension of the ceasefire between the US and Iran. The US dollar has fallen to a nearly six-week low, and US Treasury yields have also declined, conditions that typically support the prices of cryptocurrencies; gold has also risen in tandem, indicating that the market is seeking a balance between risk appetite and safe-haven demand.
On-chain data shows that when the price hits the key cost basi

On April 14th, Glassnode published its weekly market outlook, noting that Bitcoin's price momentum increased by 51.7%, breaking through previous highs, reflecting a significant strengthening of spot buying pressure and a shift toward stronger market buying support. On the other hand, Bitcoin futures open interest continued to rise, and the options Delta skew showed a moderation of bearish bias. Coupled with cooling on-chain activity, this suggests that the current phase is one of consolidation with improving sentiment.
Glassnode stated that, from a profitability perspective, market pressure ha

The article pointed out that if Iran refuses to accept the final agreement proposed by the United States on Saturday, Trump may fulfill his previous threat to "blow Tehran back to the Stone Age"; or he might also repeat the strategy he used in Venezuela, cutting off Iran's economic lifeline through a naval blockade.

On April 8th, BitGet Pool founder Jiang Zhuoer posted that he has shorted ETH at $2,242. Trump’s actions have backfired, and the Iran-U.S. war is highly likely to end with Iran controlling the Hormuz Strait (collecting tolls), which the U.S. does not legally recognize (but tacitly accepts).
This is America’s Suez Canal moment. (In 1956, Britain lost control of the Suez Canal, marking the end of the British Empire’s global dominance.) The bear market cycle is not over yet, and event-driven rebounds are opportunities to add to short positions. There’s also a small probability of another conflict
