crypto analyst Murphy posted on platform X, stating that by combining three sets of data (Options Gamma Exposure, Options Open Interest by Strike Price, Options ATM Implied Volatility), the impact on BTC from an options perspective is as follows: $80,000 is the first effective resistance level above BTC’s current price. This level simultaneously features high Call OI, positive Gamma, and low IV. When the price pushes upward from this point, market makers' dynamic hedging tends to create selling pressure; the lower the IV, the higher the marginal sensitivity of market makers' hedging adjustments. Therefore, the thickness of this wall (OI of 7,200 BTC + the magnitude of positive Gamma) makes $80,000 a "tough nut to crack" in May. Once it breaks through and approaches $82,000, due to the presence of a larger scale of negative Gamma (OI of 4,644 BTC) at this level, the market could quickly shift from being suppressed to an "amplified volatility" mode.
Bitcoin is once again approaching the $80,000 mark. Market analysis suggests that this level has become a key resistance point to test the strength of the current rebound. On the capital front, continued institutional inflows are providing support. Data shows that Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded net inflows for six consecutive days, while Ethereum spot ETFs have also seen inflows for nine straight days, indicating a recovery in risk appetite. Meanwhile, whale addresses holding over 1,000 BTC have cumulatively added approximately 270,000 BTC over the past 30 days, marking the largest monthly increase since 2013, and exchange reserves have fallen to their lowest point in seven years.In terms of on-chain data, Glassnode points out that Bitcoin has reclaimed the "Realized Price" (approximately $78,100). However, the cost basis for short-term holders sits around $80,100, forming a direct pressure zone. Should the price reach this range, over 54% of short-term investors would be in profit, a scenario historically associated with the peak of a rebound phase. At the same time, the perpetual contract funding rate remains negative, indicating a significant short position. Given the ongoing improvement in spot demand, this could provide short-squeeze momentum for a subsequent upward move.In summary, while the capital structure and market resilience have improved, the $80,000 level remains a key watershed. The market has yet to confirm whether it can transition from a resistance level to a support level. (The Block)

Odaily News According to analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald, investors are shifting their focus to new businesses such as prediction markets, which are also key drivers for the next phase of growth for Coinbase and Robinhood. The analysts currently maintain an "Overweight" rating for both exchanges and have raised their price targets to $250 and $110, respectively. They believe that as product expansion (including prediction markets, tokenization, and access to private markets) progresses, the medium-to-long-term growth prospects for both companies will improve.

RaveDAO responded to recent market concerns regarding RAVE’s price volatility, denying that the team has participated in or driven the token’s price movements and labeling related rumors as false. The DAO emphasized its ongoing commitment to project development. RaveDAO stated that its current strategy is long-term oriented, with plans to enhance incentive alignment between the team and the community through mechanism design—including exploring token lock-up models triggered by price or performance metrics. The team also disclosed that, per its Token Release Schedule (TRS), it will sell portions of already-unlocked tokens at appropriate times to fund operational expenses, global hiring, marketing initiatives, and strategic acquisitions. This statement implies an expectation of sustained selling pressure. Additionally, RaveDAO confirmed its continued allocation of a portion of revenues to public welfare: it has pledged to donate 20% of event profits and a portion of future operational profits to charitable causes. The project reiterated that its core objective is to build an on-chain entertainment and music ecosystem and drive Web3 user growth—not short-term price performance.
Odaily News According to a post by analyst Axel Adler Jr on platform X, the average entry price for US Bitcoin ETF holders is $74,000. BTC has already reached this price level, and its performance here will determine the next move.
According to CoinDesk, in Q1 2026, the Ethereum-to-Bitcoin price ratio (ETH/BTC) rebounded to 0.0313—the highest level in three months—indicating an overall recovery in the crypto market. The Ethereum network added 284,000 new users, an 82% year-on-year increase; transaction volume rose to 200.4 million; and stablecoin supply surpassed $180 billion, accounting for approximately 60% of the global market. Analysts noted that if the ETH/BTC ratio closes weekly above 0.035, it would signal sustained capital inflows into Ethereum and other high-risk assets. Currently, ETH’s price remains down more than 50% from its 52-week high. Bitcoin’s price has held above $74,000, and total inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have exceeded $56 billion, providing long-term market support.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), the suspected ARIA controller sold 45.64 million ARIA tokens in bulk today at dawn via eight wallets, receiving 5.42 million USDT in return—the average sale price was $0.12. This large-scale sell-off caused ARIA’s price to plummet from $1.01 to $0.09, a 91% decline, and its circulating market cap dropped from $315 million to $38.5 million. The aforementioned 45.64 million ARIA tokens were withdrawn from Gate onto the blockchain three weeks ago.
According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin’s price broke above $73,000 on Friday, driven by U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data that came in below market expectations. The data showed that the U.S. energy index rose 10.9% in March, with gasoline prices surging 21.2% month-on-month—the largest monthly increase since 1967—and becoming the primary driver of CPI growth. Despite the sharp rise in energy prices, overall CPI was still 0.1% lower than expected. Traders are focusing on Bitcoin’s near-term resistance levels, particularly the liquidity zone around $74,000. Expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts remain low, a view already widely shared by the market.
Crypto analyst Ali published a detailed analysis on X, arguing that rather than debating whether Bitcoin has hit its bottom, market participants should focus on whether the current volatility represents a “generation-defining entry opportunity.” Based on long-term trend lines, on-chain liquidity, and cost distribution metrics, Ali delineates the core “value range” for this cycle. On the support side, the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) shows a significant concentration of coins in the $63,111–$70,685 range, forming the current primary support zone; if price breaks below $63,111, the market may enter a liquidity vacuum. From a long-term perspective, Bitcoin is approaching the key upward trend line from the past decade (approximately $56,000–$60,000), a level historically associated with accumulation phases preceding major rallies.
