Daily Market Watch 5.12:
Today’s market is still testing our patience, BTC is stuck around 80K, not moving up or down, and as soon as there's a breeze in the macro scene, the crypto space starts to get shaky 🫠;

1. $BTC currently at 80686, down 0.67% over the last 24 hours, still grinding around the 80K level;

2. $ETH currently at 2279, down 2.11% over the last 24 hours, clearly weaker than BTC this time;

3. $SOL currently at 95.02, down 0.88% over the last 24 hours, ecosystem hype is still there but the price isn’t keeping up;

4. Trump rejected Iran's proposal, and BTC briefly dipped below 81K, macro conditions are adding pressure again;

When macro arguments flare up, the crypto space kneels first;

5. The U.S. April CPI continues to dampen rate cut expectations, risk assets are all feeling uncomfortable today;

So are we still dreaming about immediate rate cuts?

6. The CLARITY bill draft of 309 pages has been released, the boundaries between exchanges and DeFi are being redrawn;

Finally, the blame game is getting clearer;

7. BTC spot ETF saw a net inflow of $623M last week, institutional money hasn't completely exited;

8. BlackRock’s IBIT scooped up $596M in a single week, funds in ETFs are becoming more concentrated;

The money hasn’t left, it’s just being picky;

9. Strategy continues to buy 535 BTC, the old players are still holding onto their scripts tightly;

10. ETH whales are buying on the dip with $832M, on-chain funds are starting to scoop up at lower levels;

Whales feast while retail traders are left surprised;

11. ETH long-term holding growth has noticeably slowed, even seasoned players are starting to lose faith;

12. Trump Media reported a loss of $406M in Q1, even the crypto narrative can’t withstand bad earnings reports;

Buying high is tough for everyone;

13. Bhutan GMC launches a fast crypto licensing program, even small nations want a slice of the Web3 pie;

14. KelpDAO’s old issues are still brewing, DeFi security concerns are back in focus;

15. BUILDon and NIGHT are the ones to watch today with significant gains, funds are still rotating into small caps;

16. PUMP and BONK continue to ride the meme wave, but don’t get too carried away with this market;

---------------
Today’s most surreal aspect is that despite the bad news, money hasn’t completely fled.

ETFs are still seeing inflows, whales are still picking up assets, while macro conditions keep pouring cold water on us.

This market isn’t devoid of opportunities; it’s increasingly testing our patience.

Don’t rush to make moves, focus on survival first;

Daily Insights from Huang Baochang 5.11:
Today, the crypto market seems pretty stable on the surface, but the hot topics are still buzzing.
Bitcoin is stuck around the 81K mark, not moving up much, nor dropping significantly, which is tough for the seasoned holders.

1) $BTC is currently trading around $81.1K, with a slight intraday increase, still testing the 81K resistance;

2) $ETH is around $2325, showing slightly weaker performance than Bitcoin, with no significant capital inflow yet;

3) $SOL is reported at about $95, with a modest increase, while the ecosystem's hype is still holding strong;

4) $SUI has surged over 20% today, making it the brightest star on the board;

This wave is really solid;

5) The US CLARITY bill is expected to be voted on May 14, bringing the regulatory narrative back into play;

So can we still catch a wave with $XRP?;

6) Trump has rejected the Iran proposal, and the Middle East situation is again affecting oil prices and risk assets;

7) Last week, crypto funds had a net inflow of $858M, indicating that institutional capital hasn't fully exited yet;

8) Strategy just bought 535 more $BTC, continuing to stack positions in Bitcoin;

Everyone's talking about being cautious, but they're still buying;

9) Circle's revenue reached $694M, with $USDC circulating up to $77B;

10) Binance's latest reserve proof shows a $BTC reserve ratio of 100.22%;

11) $SOL teams up with Google Cloud to launch AI payments, pushing the AI narrative further onto the blockchain;

Everyone's flocking to the AI table;

12) Telegram trading bots have faced issues again, with user funds stolen amounting to about $200K;

13) Renegade was hacked for about $209K, but the white hats managed to recover $190K;

At least some dignity was saved;

14) This week, token unlocks exceed $118M, putting altcoins to the test in the short term;

15) Ronin is officially migrating to Ethereum L2 tomorrow, with old projects still struggling for survival;

The shadow of that bridge still lingers;

16) An ancient wallet transferred out 500 $BTC, and when old money moves, the market tends to speculate;

Today's most frustrating part of the market is not the ups and downs, but how crowded the narratives are.
Regulations, Iran, $SUI, institutional buying, AI payments—all converging at one table.
The experience for seasoned holders is: the bigger the commotion, the less you should consider yourself the main character.
Surviving is worth more than guessing right once.

Huang Baozhang's Daily Observations 5.10:
Not much action in the weekend market, Bitcoin is still hovering around 80k.
The candlesticks aren't exciting, but the news is definitely making waves😅

01｜ $BTC currently oscillating around $80,900, up 0.68%;

02｜ $ETH still grinding near $2,328, up 0.65%;

03｜ $SOL holding steady around $93.9, up 0.62%;

04｜ KelpDAO is still taking heat from LayerZero, DeFi has learned another lesson;

Passing the blame around, money is hard to recover;

05｜ Morgan Stanley's E*Trade is launching spot crypto trading, another door for the big money;

The old money isn't playing coy this time;

06｜ Solana teams up with Google to push an AI payment gateway, the payment narrative has resurfaced;

So can $SOL make a move?

07｜ South Korea confirms a 22% crypto tax starting in 2027, retail investors will find it harder to play dead;

08｜ WLFI's proposal to unlock over 62 billion tokens has passed, the Trump concept is still hanging on;

This market is really massive;

09｜ Kalshi raises $1 billion, valuation hits $22 billion, the prediction market is heating up;

10｜ Uniswap DAO discussing reclaiming 42 million UNI, even the veteran DeFi is getting serious;

11｜ BTC spot ETF saw over $1 billion inflow this week, institutions are slowly shifting their positions;

Institutional money really doesn't sleep;

12｜ Coinbase lays off 14%, reallocating resources to the AI team, exchanges are starting to get into AI too;

13｜ Strategy lost $12.5 billion in Q1, believing in coins also has to consider the financials;

Faith has to look at the numbers too;

14｜ Switzerland's Bitcoin reserve referendum failed, national-level buying isn't that easy;

15｜ BTC profit-taking has risen to high levels, short-term positions are starting to loosen up;

16｜ ETH's DeFi share has dropped to about 54%, the big brother's position isn’t as secure anymore;

---------------
What's interesting today is that the candlesticks aren't that thrilling, while the big money and major firms are accelerating their entry.
The retail traders are glued to the one-minute charts, while the pros are building entry points, payment systems, and compliance channels.

In this round, those who only watch the ups and downs might be a step behind again.
Money talks, tough talk is useless.

Huang Baozhang's Daily Observations 5.9:

This market's pretty twisted on Saturday, with $BTC stubbornly holding around 80k, while the news just keeps getting louder 😅
ETF outflows, legislation hurdles, and DeFi skeletons being dug up—old hands just want to keep their hands to themselves after reading this.

01｜ $BTC currently at $80,400, still facing heavy resistance above 82.5k;

02｜ $ETH is wobbling around $2,315, up a bit but lacking any kingly vibes;

03｜ $SOL surged to the $93 line, looking more sprightly than the big bro today;

04｜ The US Clarity Act will be reviewed on May 14, and crypto regulation is back on the table;

05｜ Bitcoin spot ETF saw $277M in outflows yesterday, institutions are starting to pull back;

Is anyone still waiting for ETF inflows to save the market?;

06｜ Iranian news continues to stir the pot, pushing $BTC back to around $80k;

07｜ The US April non-farm payrolls only came in at 115k, and rate cut expectations are back on the market's radar;

08｜ $ONDO is up over 22% today, and the RWA narrative has suddenly caught investors' attention;

Old narratives can rise from the dead too;

09｜ $AURA's market cap surged to $63M, with early diamond hands seeing up to 66x gains;

10｜ KelpDAO switched to Chainlink oracles, only thinking about catching up after a mishap;

Bridges and oracles are both crucial points;

11｜ Aave has been greenlit to move $71M of suspected dirty $ETH, on-chain recovery efforts are ongoing;

12｜ Tether has frozen $514M of $USDT in the last 30 days; stablecoins aren’t a safety vault;

On-chain freedom can also get frozen;

13｜ ZachXBT revealed that someone might have shorted early, and the gossip feels like there's an insider;

14｜ Arthur Hayes keeps saying that 99% of altcoins will go to zero—harsh words but nothing new;

Heart-wrenching, but the old hands get it;

15｜ Coinbase reported a loss of $394M in Q1; making money in exchanges isn’t as stable as imagined;

16｜ Revolut mistakenly reported that $BTC was only two cents, waking up from that dream faster than an alarm clock;

---------------
The most awkward part today is that while the US is trying to clarify the rules, the on-chain world still teaches everyone how to behave.
ETFs can prop the market, but they can’t stop impulsive hands.

Don’t connect bridges recklessly, and don’t lend money carelessly.
At 80k, the chasers are afraid of standing watch while the shorts fear a bullish candlestick might carry them away.

#Bitcoin #Ethereum #Solana #Crypto

Huang Baochang's Daily Observations 5.8:

Oil prices and gunfire are both spiking, and the crypto space just got slapped by macro forces. Don’t be too quick to blame the whales; today there really is some external pressure, and the seasoned traders are watching the charts like it’s a TV drama 😅

01｜$BTC dropped below $80K, hitting a daily low around $79.3K;

02｜$ETH retraced to the $2.28K level, and altcoins are generally too scared to make a move;

03｜$SOL is still holding around $88, faring better than the big daddy;

04｜Rumors of fire in the Strait of Hormuz have intensified, sending $BTC back below $80K;

The weekend is starting to heat up;

05｜The entire network saw long positions liquidated by about $300M, and the leveraged players are getting schooled by the market;

06｜Coinbase reported a Q1 loss of $1.49 per share, and shares dropped by 4% in after-hours trading;

Even the scalpers can bleed;

07｜U.S. non-farm payrolls increased by 115,000 in April, pushing back interest rate cut expectations;

08｜The CLARITY Act is still in the weeds, and stablecoin yield terms haven’t been settled;

09｜The U.S. banking sector continues to oppose stablecoin yields, fearing deposits will be siphoned off;

Can banks really make concessions?

10｜Spot $BTC ETF saw nearly $1B in net inflows over two days, with institutional hands still active;

11｜Exchanges have seen an outflow of 100,000 $BTC in the last three months, and the chips are still shifting;

The chips aren’t sleeping; prices are playing dead;

12｜Strategy reported a massive Q1 loss of $12.5B and hinted at selling off in extreme scenarios;

13｜BitMine holds 4.29% of $ETH, stating they plan to buy slowly without rushing;

Even the big buyers are wary of buying too quickly;

14｜The aftershocks of the Kelp incident are still felt, with DeFi funds flowing out close to $14B;

15｜Binance Alpha listed $SHARE, and users with over 230 points can grab an airdrop;

Airdrop hunters are back on the job;

16｜$JTO skyrocketed by 39%, with $STRK and $NIL also surging in tandem;

---------------
What’s really frustrating today isn’t just the drop, but the simultaneous good and bad news hitting us like drinks being poured on one table while another flips over. ETFs are scooping up coins, exchanges are reducing supply, but when the gunfire starts, the leveraged positions tend to get wrecked first; don’t ask why it’s always you.

Seasoned traders have seen too many times how "the fundamentals haven’t changed" ultimately fall victim to over-leveraged positions and itchy fingers. Don’t try to reason with the market; your position size is your hard capital, and only those who survive earn the right to criticize the whales.

Huang Baochang's Daily Observations 5.7:
Today, Bitcoin is stuck, not rising significantly or dropping hard, lingering around 80k, making it frustrating.
But Wall Street is pretty busy, aggressively grabbing the crypto entry points, even more so than retail traders 😅

1. $BTC dipped to around 80.3k, down about 1.6% for the day, still grinding short-term;

2. $ETH fell back to the 2.31k line, clearly weaker than Bitcoin, the rebound has no power;

3. $SOL is holding around 88.7, with a slight daily increase, at least it didn’t crash with the market;

4. Morgan Stanley has launched crypto trading on E*Trade, directly cutting fees against competitors;

Wall Street is starting to snatch up the market share;

5. Hut 8 signed a $9.8B AI lease, mining companies are still diving into the hash power narrative;

6. Coinbase is rumored to be laying off 700 people, exchanges are also tightening efficiency;

Everyone's heading towards AI;

7. The CLARITY Act is now focusing on stablecoin yields, with USDC's reward model being singled out;

8. How long can USDC's yields remain attractive? It probably depends on Washington's mood;

With this institutional entry, how much meat can retail traders still get?

9. Aave cleared all rsETH positions related to the Kelp hack, bad debt pressure has eased for now;

Finally, we can take a breather;

10. The spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of $46M in one day, funds are still slowly trickling in;

11. The SOL ETF recorded a net inflow of $21.3M in a day, institutions aren't completely giving up on SOL;

12. DOGS surged nearly 47% in 24 hours, the old meme coins are back from the dead;

Meme coins never sleep;

13. TON and NEAR are outperforming the market against the trend, there are still some local sparks among altcoins;

14. South Korea continues to push for crypto tax by 2027, it's tough for retail investors to make money, but tax payments seem stable;

The scythe has gone global;

15. a16z crypto's new fund is sized at $2.2B, the primary market hasn't completely cooled off;

16. DTCC plans to test on-chain securities in July, traditional finance is slowly moving onto the blockchain;

---------------
Today's market feels twisted, the coin prices aren't really hyped, yet institutional actions are getting bolder.
Retail traders used to focus on candlesticks, now they should pay more attention to entry points, regulations, and capital channels.

A bull market doesn't necessarily mean coins will rise first; it might be those selling the shovels that profit first.
Entry points are worth more than candlesticks.

#Bitcoin #Ethereum #Solana #Crypto

Huang Baozhang's Daily Observation 5.6:
Today the market finally woke up, with BTC touching over 82K, and the bears are starting to dig up old stories 😭
Tensions between the US and Iran have eased a bit, privacy coins, memes, and ETF funds are all on the move, just as the retail traders were trying to chill, the market goes wild first.

01｜ $BTC currently at 81.9K, hitting a daily high of 82.7K, short-term sentiment is clearly warming up;

02｜ $ETH currently at 2377, following the rebound but with average elasticity, still looks slow to react;

03｜ $SOL currently at 88.6, daily gain around 3.6%, ecosystem heat hasn't died down yet;

04｜ News from the US-Iran memo is brewing, risk-off sentiment is cooling, allowing BTC to surge past 82K;

This market really knows how to pick its moments;

05｜ $ZEC has surged over 30% today, privacy coins are suddenly reviving, funds are starting to tell old tales again;

How far can the privacy narrative go?;

06｜ Morgan Stanley’s E*Trade is gearing up to launch crypto trading services;

07｜ E*Trade is rumored to have a 0.5% trading fee, cheaper than some mainstream platforms;

Wall Street is getting in on the action too;

08｜ Over 120,000 people got liquidated across the network, with liquidation amounts exceeding 500 million USD, both longs and shorts got schooled;

09｜ Bitcoin spot ETF saw a net inflow of 467 million USD in one day, institutional funds are continuing to flow in;

Money is growing legs again;

10｜ BlackRock pulled in 251 million USD in one day, still the big player in ETFs;

11｜ Strategy lost about 12.5 billion USD in Q1, the volatility shook them up too;

Even the big guys feel the pain;

12｜ Strategy currently holds 818,334 BTC, a position so big it doesn't look like a normal company;

13｜ SEC has delayed the approval of 24 prediction market ETFs, regulatory classic delay tactics are back in play;

14｜ $DASH is up about 22% today, riding along with $ZEC to lift the privacy coin narrative;

Old narratives can resurrect too;

15｜ $WIF is up about 25% today, meme funds are flowing back, the dogs are back in business;

16｜ Drift plans to introduce recovery tokens to compensate users, but the payout cycle might stretch for years;

Today’s market is very typical: as macro conditions ease, BTC leads the way, and altcoins follow to steal the spotlight.
This wave of privacy coins isn’t a new story; it’s old fears wrapped in a new package.
Hot money doesn’t care about logic, only about gaps.
Don’t act like smart money when it’s the loudest.

#Bitcoin #Ethereum #Solana #Crypto

Daily Observations by Huang Baozhang 5.5:
Today, Bitcoin pushed back over 80K, and the market looks solid, but I'm feeling a bit jittery.

On one hand, ETFs are still draining liquidity, and on the other, macro and security events keep knocking at our door. Us seasoned traders can only watch and grumble 😅

01｜$BTC surged to around 81.4K, and short-term bulls are still in control;

02｜$ETH climbed above $2390, following Bitcoin's lead but not stealing the spotlight;

03｜$SOL touched $85.7, with $86 still posing short-term resistance;

04｜Coinbase plans to lay off about 14%, roughly 700 people will be out;

AI has really become the axe for layoffs;

05｜The US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about $532 million in a single day;

06｜BlackRock drained $335 million in one day; institutions are still buying;

Are retail traders still waiting for a dip?;

07｜Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to escalate, affecting oil prices and risk sentiment;

08｜Aave is still bickering over $71 million in frozen funds; the bad debt saga isn't over yet;

Money's gone in, but no one wants to take the blame;

09｜Ripple opened a North Korean hacker intelligence API, the security battle is getting serious;

10｜North Korean hackers have attacked twice recently, stealing a total of about $577 million;

DeFi really is a cash cow;

11｜DTCC plans to trial tokenized securities in July; traditional finance is going on-chain too;

12｜Securitize is pushing US stock assets onto $SOL, the RWA narrative is heating up;

Everyone's squeezing onto the chain;

13｜Jito plans to launch the trading app JTX in July, continuing to boost the $SOL ecosystem;

14｜$TON surged over 25% today, making it the standout altcoin;

15｜$HYPE rose over 6%, indicating that market sentiment remains bullish;

Even the underdogs can bulk up;

16｜CLARITY stablecoin's interest plan has been finalized, regulatory doors are slowly opening;

The most interesting thing about today's market isn't that Bitcoin is rising, but that bad news isn't really shaking things up anymore.
ETFs keep sucking liquidity, institutions remain tight-lipped, and retail traders are still struggling with whether to chase.

Us seasoned traders just say: rising is good, chasing highs is another story.
The market has no conscience, and position sizing needs to be smart.

#Bitcoin #Ethereum #Solana #Crypto

BTC was still discussing liquidity above 79,500 yesterday,

and today it hit 81K directly.

The first act of the script has already played out.

Now don't ask "Can it go above 80K?",

the question has expired.

What we really need to watch is:

can it hold above 80K.

If it can hold 80K,

then there's still room to push towards 83K-85K.

If it can't hold,

a drop back to 78K, or even a sweep at 77K,

wouldn't be surprising.

Because this is the old routine in crypto:

break through new highs,

attracting FOMO,

then a pullback to wash out leverage,

before deciding if it's really going to push up further.

I'm not bearish right now,

but I won't be blindly chasing around 81K either.

From 60K to 80K,

the lows and highs are indeed rising,

the overall vibe feels like a bulldozer rally.

But a bulldozer doesn't have an infinite fuel tank.

After a big surge, a shakeout and a wash is healthy.

Next key levels:

80K: Emotional tipping point

78K-77K: Pullback defense zone

83K-85K: First strong resistance zone

If 80K holds,

this bounce isn't over yet.

If 77K breaks,

short-term bulls should stop pretending and admit defeat.

In a nutshell:

BTC isn't without opportunities right now,

but don't confuse breaking 80K

as the opening ceremony of a bull market.

The most dangerous thing in crypto isn't the drop,

it's when you just made a little profit,

and start thinking you understand the market.🚬

Crypto Trader's Daily Insight 5.4:

Today, Bitcoin grazed 80K again, and just as the retail traders were ready to shout 'bull', macro events pulled the rug. 👏👏👏
The market isn’t stagnant; it’s just waiting for you to get overly confident before throwing cold water on your enthusiasm.

1: $BTC briefly spiked to 80.5K, then retraced to hover around 78.9K;

2: $ETH reclaimed the 2339 mark, but short-term it’s still stuck at the 2.4K resistance;

3: $SOL continues to trade sideways around 84, with the ecosystem's hype mainly driven by memes;

4: Spot BTC ETF pulled in about 630M today, and funds are starting to sniff around for entry;

Money is always more honest than people;

5: WLFI countersues Sun Yuchen for defamation, adding another chapter to the crypto drama;

6: Strategy has paused BTC purchases this week; even Saylor isn’t going all-in this time;

Saylor also needs to catch his breath;

7: Kraken completes a 550M acquisition of Bitnomial, expanding its derivatives brand;

8: The U.S. stablecoin yield terms have been agreed upon, and the issuer's slice of the pie just got cut;

9: Hormuz news shakes up the market, sending BTC back down to around 79K;

Is anyone still willing to bet on a ceasefire?

10: Tether bought another 6 tons of gold in Q1, as the stablecoin giant starts to resemble a central bank;

11: BlackRock's European BTC ETP hits a scale of 1.1B, as institutional money continues to trickle in;

12: KelpDAO's old debts continue to brew, and Aave's bad debt risks haven’t fully resolved yet;

Bad debts are best at hanging around over the weekend;

13: North Korean hackers account for a significant portion of this year’s thefts; the DeFi security exam isn’t over yet;

14: $TROLL market cap breaks 55M; seasoned traders can tell something’s off just by the name;

15: Solana Meme sector surges over 5% today, the on-chain casino lights are back on;

Casinos never lack for new players;

16: $PENGU's trading volume skyrockets to 218M; whether the old IP can stay alive depends on the buying pressure;

Today’s market is classic: money is flowing in, and the noise hasn’t stopped.
80K isn’t a faith line; it’s a sentiment health check for retail traders.

What the market fears isn’t a dip, it’s a false sense of stability.
Don’t mistake a bounce for a get-out-of-jail-free card.

#Bitcoin #Ethereum #Solana #Crypto

Daily Observations by Huang Baozhang 5.3:

Today’s market feels like working overtime on a weekend; it’s neither pumping nor dumping.
BTC is still hanging above 78K, but the real action is all about regulations, ETFs, and stablecoins.
😅

01｜$BTC is still holding around 78.6K, still a breath away from breaking 80K;

02｜$ETH has returned to the 2324 USD level, but the independent rally hasn’t materialized yet;

03｜$SOL is stuck around 84 USD, bears are still waiting for a breakout above 87 USD;

04｜Coinbase states that key terms of the crypto bill have reached a compromise, and regulations have finally eased up;

Regulations can also shift;

05｜BlackRock’s $IBIT pulled in $1.71B in April, institutional buying isn’t fading;

06｜Spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of $2.44B in April, money is definitely awake;

Talk is cheap, but actions are honest;

07｜The total market cap of stablecoins surged to $321B, on-chain cash pools are thicker;

08｜North Korean hackers have stolen $577M this year, DeFi is getting schooled hard again;

Same old tricks, real profits are being made;

09｜KelpDAO-related attack losses are about $292M, bad debt risks are still brewing;

10｜Pudgy Penguins are trending on crypto Twitter today, PENGU has caught eyes again;

So can PENGU still pump?;

11｜LAB surged 364% in 24 hours, small cap coins are starting to play the excitement game again;

12｜TAGGER and SkyAI also jumped onto the gainers’ list; the AI narrative still isn’t dead;

13｜BitMine's holdings have surpassed 5 million ETH, whales are still stacking;

Everyone is stacking ETH, huh;

14｜AIMCo has bought $219M of MSTR, pensions are starting to take the side route into BTC;

15｜France has cut the self-custody wallet declaration requirements; this time, regulators didn’t go off the rails;

Rarely doing something sensible;

16｜USDT’s market share is still stuck at 58.9%, in the stablecoin realm, Tether still calls the shots;

The most thought-provoking line today: Money is more honest than words.
While shouting about risks, ETFs, pensions, and institutions are still diving in.

Before BTC stands firm at 80K, don’t rush to treat the sideways action as the start of a bull market.
Weekend trading is the best at tricking inexperienced traders’ speed.

#Bitcoin #Ethereum #Solana #Crypto

Huang Baozhang's Daily Insight 5.2:

The weekend market still feels the same; $BTC is stuck around 78K, neither up nor down, while altcoins occasionally pump, reminding everyone: don't sleep too soundly.
Today, the bigger drama isn't in the candlesticks but in regulation, DeFi bad debts, and the profit-making ability of stablecoins.

01｜ $BTC continues to hover around 78K, with 80K remaining the biggest psychological barrier in the short term;

02｜ $ETH is range-bound near $2300, still hasn't established an independent trend;

03｜ $SOL is grinding at around $84, there's some ecosystem heat, but the market isn't particularly strong;

04｜Coinbase states that key terms of the U.S. crypto bill have been agreed upon, some progress in regulation at last;

Finally, it’s not just talk;

05｜The U.S. Senate is expected to push the CLARITY bill forward in May, with the crypto regulatory framework entering a critical phase;

06｜Aave's firefighting amount has exceeded $300 million, and the bad debt pressure from the KelpDAO incident hasn't been fully digested;

Black swans aren’t born black; they result from poor risk control;

07｜The aftershocks of the KelpDAO attack are still fermenting, Aave may face a bad debt exposure of up to $230 million;

08｜ $ZEC surged over 11% in a single day, privacy coins are being pumped again by funds;

So can the privacy narrative survive?

09｜Crypto hackers lost about $651 million in April, DeFi security issues have hit hard again;

10｜Stablecoin purchases in Latin America account for nearly 40%, in many places buying coins isn't speculation, it's a necessity;

Stablecoins are the true global product;

11｜Tether's Q1 net profit is about $1.04 billion, selling stablecoins is more profitable than most projects;

12｜The U.S. spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of nearly $2 billion in April, institutional funds haven't fully retreated;

13｜ $BIO rose about 27% in a single day, the old narrative suddenly got a boost in visibility;

Old tracks can also resurrect;

Is the end of mining also tied to AI?

16｜Japan's crypto ETF may be launched as early as 2027, compliant products are still slowly being rolled out;

The most interesting part of today’s market is: the coin price hasn’t moved much, but there’s a lot happening beneath the surface.

America is rewriting the rules, DeFi is patching holes, stablecoins are quietly profiting, and miners are starting to ride the AI wave.

On-chain freedom doesn’t mean no one is bailing out; when real trouble hits, the users are often left holding the bag.

The scariest part isn’t sideways trading; it’s thinking that everything is fine when it’s not.

Huang Baochang's Daily Observation 5.1:

On the first day of May, the market finally looks somewhat decent.
But don't rush in just yet; DeFi is still cleaning up its mess 😅

01｜ $BTC surged to around $78.3K, short-term up about 2.6%, the rebound strength is decent;

02｜ $ETH returned to around $2312, up about 2.2%, but we haven't seen an independent trend yet;

03｜ $SOL climbed above $84, up about 1.7%, ecological enthusiasm is temporarily average;

04｜ After being hacked, KelpDAO's risk has spilled over; $Aave faces a maximum of $230M bad debt exposure;

Everyone is passing the buck, and getting money back is the hardest part;

05｜ DeFi United reportedly raised $307M, preparing to rescue the Aave bad debt incident;

06｜ $MEGA opened with a wild surge of about 185%, short-term funds are starting to seek thrills again;

Is anyone daring to chase $MEGA?;

07｜ BTC spot ETF has seen a slight return, with a daily net inflow of about $14.8M;

08｜ ETH spot ETF continues to bleed, with a daily net outflow of about $23.6M;

Ethereum here still hasn’t recovered;

09｜ Japan's JPX hinted that it might push for crypto ETF-related products next year;

10｜ Tether's net profit for the first quarter is about $1.04B, the stablecoin business continues to be lucrative;

11｜ Tether's U.S. Treasury holdings rose to $141B, its scale is increasingly resembling shadow banking;

Even the money printer has reports now;

12｜ $SUI unlocks 42.6 million tokens today, keep an eye on the short-term selling pressure;

13｜ StepDrainer strikes again, with users losing over $800K in assets;

Don't click random wallet authorizations;

14｜ $BR saw an intraday increase of nearly 77%, small-cap coins are getting jittery again;

15｜ Riot's first-quarter revenue is $167M, the miner's earnings report exceeded market expectations;

Miners are all going to AI now;

16｜ AMD expands its partnership with Riot, increasing AI computing power leasing to 50MW;

Today’s most interesting point isn’t the rise, but that money is looking for new places to dive into.
ETF inflows, stablecoins making profits, mining companies pivoting to AI, all signal: the surviving funds are changing strategies.

But KelpDAO’s situation also serves as a reminder: DeFi isn't without risks; it just plays nice most of the time.
The bull demons recover the fastest, and the retail investors chase the highs the quickest.

Daily Observations by Huang Baozhang 4.30:

Today’s market lacks any excitement, BTC is stuck at a key level frustrating traders, altcoins still have the same old issues: slow to pump, fast to dump.
A cold wind blows from the macro side, and retail accounts are catching a cold 🥲

① $BTC is back around $76.5K, the $75K support hasn’t officially broken yet;

② $ETH has dropped to around $2265, with spot ETFs continuing to see capital outflows;

③ $SOL is still holding around $83, with $80 becoming a short-term life-or-death line;

④ The Fed remained steady at 8:4, which led to a short-term dump in BTC;

Once the hawkish tone hits, retail traders are the first to fall;

⑤ KelpDAO was hacked for about $292M, the Aave bad debt issue has come to light;

Is anyone still daring to ape into AAVE?;

⑥ The Aave bad debt storm continues to brew, with the community raising about $307M to save the day;

⑦ Lazarus has stolen over $577M in DeFi this year, on-chain security is taking a hit;

North Korean hackers are more diligent than VCs;

⑧ Meta is testing payments to creators using USDC, stablecoin payments are heating up again;

⑨ Celsius founder is banned for life from the crypto space, the old creditors are finally seeing justice served;

Delayed justice is still justice;

⑩ BTC spot ETF saw an outflow of about $137M in a single day, institutional buying is starting to hesitate;

⑪ ETH spot ETF outflow was about $87.7M, Ethereum is still lacking momentum in the short term;

⑫ Strategy has continued to stack 34,164 BTC this month, Saylor is still in his comfort zone;

He really isn’t afraid of getting trapped;

⑬ BitMine bought 101,901 ETH this week, big players are starting to eye Ethereum’s inventory;

⑭ $DOGE surged over 10% intraday, contract open interest hit a local high;

The whale is starting to play the crowd;

⑮ $BIO jumped about 23% in a single day, the DeSci narrative is being revived with capital;

⑯ $AI spiked high and then clearly fell back, chasing hot narratives is still a risky game;

---------------
Today, what's most annoying in this market isn’t the drop, but everyone is waiting for someone else to make the first move.
With the macro not easing, ETF bleeding, and DeFi constantly blowing up, it’s indeed tough for the market to strengthen all at once.

In the short term, don’t get too carried away; surviving means you get to laugh at others.
Capital never sleeps, while retail traders often lose sleep.

Huang Baozhang's Daily Observations 4.29:

Today’s market looks like an old trader's EKG 😇: not really pumping, not really dumping.
BTC is stuck around 77K, waiting for the Fed and the big players' earnings reports.

01 | $BTC is hovering around 77K, short-term support at 75.6K for the bulls;

02 | $ETH bounced above 2300, but hasn’t broken into its own independent trend;

03 | $SOL is holding around 84 bucks, with meme coins and on-chain trades still keeping the party going;

04 | Pump.fun has burned 36% of $PUMP in one go, the project team is finally starting to save the price;

So can $PUMP still play dead?;

05 | Strategy continues to stack 3273 $BTC , the old timer really treats Bitcoin like a meal;

06 | Spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of 89.7 million dollars in a day, institutional funds are starting to wobble;

Money comes quick, but it leaves even quicker;

07 | BlackRock’s BUIDL is live on OKX, can be used as collateral for institutions;

08 | Polymarket is applying to return to the US market, prediction markets want to suit up for the table;

The casino wants to wear a suit;

09 | CFTC is suing Wisconsin’s sports betting market, compliance is still a tough door to enter;

10 | The White House is hinting at BTC reserves again, and the market is waiting for some policy-level stimulus;

Is anyone still waiting for the US to sweeten the pot for crypto?;

11 | Saylor keeps calling for $BTC to hit 10 million in the future, faith is at an all-time high;

This bro is drawing this pie into outer space;

12 | SEC and CFTC will share the stage at Bitcoin 2026, regulatory tone might change;

13 | ZetaChain exposed a vulnerability with a loss of 334k, not a huge amount but quite glaring;

Even small holes can let in the wind;

14 | KelpDAO's bad debt shadow is still looming over DeFi, Aave's risk discussions are not over yet;

15 | Pi Network claims to have completed 526 million KYC verifications, miners have new material again;

Miners finally got some content;

16 | Solana’s on-chain meme transaction volume shot up to 83 million dollars, the meme coin casino is still in action;

---------------
Today’s most interesting thing is, there are plenty of bullish signals, but the prices just won’t go wild.
ETF outflows, FOMC pressure, and the old timer keeps buying, these three forces twist together like a pretzel.

The bull market isn’t gone; it’s just that no one wants to be the first to flip.
Don’t treat narratives as stop-loss orders.

Daily Insights from Crypto Trader on 4.28:

Today the market didn’t crash, but it’s not exactly smooth sailing either. $BTC is still stuck at the 80K resistance, grinding away.
DeFi is buzzing, with projects facing issues while others are fundraising. The long-term holders are just wanting to pull the plug on their wallets😌

1) $BTC currently at $76.3K, down 1.7% in the last 24H; the 80K barrier is firmly holding.

2) $ETH is trading at $2278, following the market's dip without carving out an independent trend.

3) $SOL is at $83.7, continuing its short-term fluctuations; the ecosystem heat hasn’t noticeably returned.

4) $BTC attempted to break through $79.5K but failed; 80K has become the major psychological wall for the short term.

That 80K level is tough as nails;

5) Brent crude oil hit around $107, causing risk assets to hesitate again.

6) ORCA, APE, and ZBT are leading the altcoin charge today, but overall profitability is mediocre.

7) DeFi United has raised 132K $ETH, with the rescue efforts being more lively than the profit-seeking ones;

Rescue missions are more exciting than making profits;

8) KelpDAO's aftershocks are still being felt, with the $AAVE bad debt issue still under market scrutiny;

9) ZetaChain has paused cross-chain features, with the project team claiming a loss of about $300K;

Is anyone still willing to let their money sleep in DeFi?;

10) Scallop was hacked for around 150K $SUI, putting the Sui ecosystem's security under the spotlight;

11) Strategy continues to stack more $BTC, buying an additional 3273 Bitcoins this week;

Old trader is still at the table;

12) BitMine purchased 101.9K $ETH this week, and institutions are still gobbling up Ethereum;

13) The White House is hinting again at a $BTC strategic reserve, and the market is waiting for the next policy move;

14) Morgan Stanley is pushing forward with a stablecoin reserve fund, as traditional finance also looks to grab some interest;

Everyone is after the stablecoin yields;

15) Justin Sun is suing WLFI to freeze tokens; this time, old Sun really has been cornered;

16) Tether has frozen two addresses totaling $344M USDT; on-chain funds are not completely free;

Freezing assets is something everyone fears;

The most interesting thing today isn’t the drop, but the money split.
Prices are held down at the 80K level by oil prices and interest rate discussions, yet institutions keep pouring money into ETFs, stablecoins, and spot positions.

80K isn’t just a door; it’s an ATM.
And over in DeFi, don’t act tough; the yields are enticing, but the vulnerabilities are even more inviting.

🔔Latest BTC Trend Analysis:
This recent BTC move is frustrating not because of the rise or fall,
but because it feels like it's giving the whole market a "psychological massage":

First, it spikes near 80K, telling the bulls:
"Bro, the bull is back in action."
Then it crashes back to around 76K, telling the bears:
"Hold on, you've got a shot too."

Just as both sides are getting ready to jump in, it starts to go sideways.
This is the current state of BTC, classic Crypto PUA. 😂
Right now, I’m focusing on three key levels:

① 79K-80K
This is the short-selling pressure zone; it’s tried to break through a few times but hasn't held, indicating there are indeed sellers waiting to cut losses and others looking to take profits.
② 83K
If BTC can truly break through 80K with volume, it's likely to tap 83K.
But this level may not be a comfortable launch point; it could actually be the first spot for a "stop-loss hunt".

③ 74.5K
I consider this the death line for the short-term structure.
As long as it doesn't effectively break down below this, the trend isn't dead; it’s just a shakeout.
Once it breaks and can’t reclaim, all previous bullish scenarios need to be reassessed.

On a broader scale, I'm leaning towards one idea:
This move isn't just a simple bounce to 83K and done.
If the weekly structure remains stable, the 90K-93K range is where we should really be focused.

Why?
Because that area is where the previous major drop initiated, and it's a battleground for trapped longs, shorts, and those looking to exit.
In other words, 93K isn't a place for a "guaranteed breakout"; it’s where BTC will truly decide its fate.

The interesting thing about the current market is:
The fundamentals aren't bad, ETF money is still flowing in, and institutional buying hasn't completely withdrawn;
but the macro environment isn't easy either, with the Fed, oil prices, and risk asset sentiment weighing on the market.

So my call is:
Don’t get scared by a 3,000-5,000 point pullback in the short term.
This market is likely to undergo another significant shakeout, educating all those who chased longs, chased shorts, or flipped positions midway.

My script leans towards:
First, grind around 76K-80K,
break through to watch 83K,
there might be a sharp retracement near 83K,
as long as 74.5K holds, there’s still a chance to reach for 90K-93K.

In short:
Right now, BTC isn’t a "mindless bull," nor is it "immediately bearish."
It feels more like a monkey market continuation bounce.
At this position, position size is more important than opinion, and stop-losses are more crucial than stubbornness.

Long Bao's Daily Observation 4.27:

😇 Today, Bitcoin is once again trying to touch the 80K mark, but it got tripped by the threshold.
This kind of market is the most annoying, scared to chase high when it rises, and worried about missing out when it drops.

1. $BTC peaked around 79.4K, then pulled back to around 77.7K;

2. $ETH started the morning close to 2,400 USD, then retraced to around 2,316 USD;

3. $SOL touched 88 USD during the session, then pulled back but continued to hold around 85 USD;

4. $BTC’s third attempt to breach 80K failed, short-term sell pressure is still strong;

Knocked on the door so many times;

5. Spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about 2.12 billion USD over the past nine days, institutions are still buying;

They don’t shout it out loud, but their hands are honest;

6. Bitcoin 2026 hype continues to heat up, SEC Chairman Atkins is set to take the stage;

Finally, they’re not just about fines anymore;

7. Aave's bad debt rescue has raised about 160 million USD, the KelpDAO pit is still not filled;

8. The KelpDAO incident is still bubbling, Aave’s maximum bad debt exposure is about 230 million USD;

9. Is anyone still waiting for a big green candle at 80K, or are they preparing to run half first?

10. Oil price fluctuations drag down risk assets, $BTC was kicked back down after climbing high;

Macro factors are really irritating;

11. The CLARITY Act is still stuck in the Senate, market structure rules continue to struggle;

12. After the heat of the $TRUMP dinner fades, the token's trend is a bit limp;

Isn’t this already over?

13. Ripple partners with Korea's KBank to test on-chain cross-border remittance scenarios;

14. Tether opens source Bitcoin mining toolkit, the mining narrative gets another boost;

15. Crypto hackers lost a total of 620 million USD in April, bridges and permissions are the most critical;

16. Altcoins continue to diverge in their rebounds, LUMIA, BICO, and LUNC are catching more eyes today;

---------------
Today’s market clearly shows an 80K battle, but behind the scenes, funds are still choosing sides.
ETFs keep buying, DeFi keeps patching holes, regulators keep holding meetings, and altcoins keep going wild.

The bull market isn’t dead, but let’s hope the retail investors don’t get wiped out first.
80K isn’t the end, it’s just a ticket for the next round of mutual deception.
