Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is trading at $94,743, rising 1.04% on Monday as bullish sentiment gains momentum. Recent developments—including El Salvador’s continued Bitcoin accumulation, Grayscale’s ETF push, and Michael Saylor hinting at a major new purchase—are reinforcing optimism across the market. Coupled with nearly $3 billion in fresh U.S. Bitcoin ETF inflows last week, Bitcoin appears well-positioned for a breakout. El Salvador Adds Bitcoin Despite IMF Constraints In a development boosting Bitcoin sentiment, El Salvador quietly added seven more Bitcoin worth over $650,000, according to its Bitcoin Office. This move comes despite the nation’s $1.4 billion IMF loan deal, which technically restricts further official BTC purchases. Experts suggest the government may be acquiring Bitcoin indirectly to navigate IMF terms while maintaining its crypto-friendly stance.

Though the push focuses on ETH, broader acceptance of crypto financial products would likely spill over positively into Bitcoin, enhancing institutional credibility. Adding to the bullish momentum, Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy, hinted at another massive Bitcoin buy —potentially between $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion. Big news in the crypto world! Michael Saylor hints at another major $BTC purchase as whales stack aggressively. With large institutions leading the charge, it looks like Bitcoin's momentum is building! #Bitcoin #CryptoNews #Mercex #MercexNews — Mercex (@mercex_io) April 27, 2025 MicroStrategy already holds over 538,200 BTC (valued around $50.5 billion). April also saw whale wallets holding over $1 million in Bitcoin surge from 124,000 to 137,600, reflecting aggressive accumulation below $100K. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs further reinforced the trend, recording nearly $3 billion in net inflows last week—the second-highest since launch. Bitcoin Technical Outlook: Bulls Target $95,848 Breakout Bitcoin (BTC/USD) is rebounding sharply after defending critical support at $92,863, with the 50 EMA ($93,623) acting as dynamic support. MACD indicators are nearing a bullish crossover, suggesting buyers are regaining control. For beginners, this pattern is called a “trendline defense”—where price respects rising support, often leading to higher moves. If Bitcoin breaks above $95,848, it could clear a path toward $97,569 and possibly $99,420. Conversely, slipping below $93,600 could expose Bitcoin to a retest of $92,863. Trade Setup: Buy breakout: Above $95,848 Targets: $97,569 and $99,420 Support levels: $93,623 and $92,863 Stop-loss: Below $92,800 Patience remains crucial—waiting for a confirmed breakout can help avoid getting caught in false moves. BTC Bull Token Crosses $5M Milestone as 81% Yield Boosts Staking Demand Investor momentum behind BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) remains strong, with the Ethereum-based project officially surpassing the $5 million mark in its ongoing presale. As of today, $5.05 million has been raised out of a $5.74 million target, signaling rising urgency among buyers as the next price jump approaches. The current token price stands at $0.00248, offering a limited window before another repricing. High-Yield Staking with Flexible Access BTCBULL continues to set itself apart from typical meme assets by focusing on sustainable utility. The project’s staking program offers an estimated 81% annual yield, complemented by Bitcoin-backed distribution rewards. Crucially, users retain full liquidity with the ability to unstake anytime—no mandatory lockup periods or penalties. Latest Staking Snapshot: Total Tokens Staked: 1,293,025,857 BTCBULL Estimated Annual Yield: 81% APY Unstaking: Available at any time This flexible structure appeals to both yield hunters and investors seeking upside potential without giving up liquidity. Presale Snapshot: Final Stretch Before Repricing With less than $683,000 left before the next price adjustment, BTCBULL’s presale is rapidly entering its final stages at the current rate. Investors are securing positions before the project’s valuation steps higher. Presale Metrics (Updated): Token Price: $0.00248 USDT Raised: $5,058,002.58 out of $5,741,234 target BTCBULL combines an aggressive yield model with meme-token upside, carving out a niche for investors looking for more than just speculative trading. As the remaining funding gap narrows, the next price increase could arrive imminently—rewarding early movers in the process.

While the largest altcoin Ethereum (ETH) has been showing a weak outlook with the declines it has experienced against Bitcoin, it has been trying to recover in recent days. While ETH is trying to find a way to rise after a series of difficult days, a new offer has arrived for Etheruem. The new Ethereum proposal proposes a dynamic structure to balance application revenue and fair fee extraction. Two members of the Ethereum community, Kevin Owocki and Devansh Mehta, have proposed a new Ethereum fee structure that aims to balance revenue and fee generation for application developers. The proposal suggests using a square root formula that proportionally reduces the percentage of fees as the fund capital allocated to a particular project grows. Owocki and Metha noted that if a particular app’s funding pool exceeds the $10 million level, fees will be capped at 1%. The duo added that this method will allow small app developers to develop decentralized applications without paying excessive fees, and that fees will be limited as developers scale their applications, encouraging project and fund growth. Owocki and Mehta’s proposal to strike a balance between revenue generation and profitability among Ethereum application developers comes at a time when Ethereum is lagging behind rivals like Solana (SOL). According to analytics platform Santiment, Ethereum fees fell to a five-year low in April 2025 due to low activity on the Ethereum base layer, resulting from reduced demand for smart contract transactions such as decentralized finance. The Solana network also had more developers than the Ethereum network in 2024. According to the data, SOL added 7,625 new developers compared to Ethereum’s 6,456 new developers. *This is not investment advice.

The team behind the Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) token sold more than $1.5 million of tokens over the past three days, suggesting a programmatic selling strategy that may add downside pressure to the token. The team behind the Melania memecoin sold another $930,000 worth of tokens on April 28, two days after selling $630,000, according to blockchain data. The selling patterns point to dollar-cost averaging (DCA) , an investment strategy used to buy or sell a predetermined amount of an asset at fixed times, according to crypto intelligence platform Lookonchain. It flagged the activity in an April 28 post on X, writing: “The #Melania team didn’t just add or remove liquidity to sell $MELANIA, they also employed a DCA strategy for direct sales!” Source: Lookonchain Related: Libra, Melania creator’s ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ memecoin crashes 99% The DCA strategy involves investing a certain amount of funds in an asset at regular intervals, often employed by investors to manage emotional decision-making.

FET and TON saw significant price increases today, sparking interest among investors. Market watchers are now focused on whether these gains will persist or fade. This article delves into the factors driving their recent performance and examines whether these coins are poised for further growth or at risk of cooling off. FET Price Trends: Short-Term Surge Amid Long-Term Setbacks FET gained 42.91% in a week and 44.99% over the month, yet it faced a 37.76% drop over the past six months. The recent upswing shows renewed investor interest and momentum, but the half-year decline points to caution amid volatility. Price movements indicate energetic buying in the short term, while longer-term bearish concerns persist. Strong rallies can occur, but previous significant drops highlight underlying issues. Current prices range between $0.32 and $0.68, with support near $0.19 and resistance around $0.91. Bulls are active within these levels, but an overbought RSI of nearly 79 suggests caution. Trading ideas involve watching for a bounce at support and a potential breakout above $0.91, while remaining alert to bear reversals if prices move lower. Toncoin Price Volatility: Mixed Trends and Key Support Zones Toncoin price dropped 18.33% in the last month and fell 34.08% over six months, with an 11.35% surge over the past week indicating brief recoveries amid overall declines. Recent moves highlight a volatile market experience characterized by sharp dips followed by short-lived rallies that offer little sign of sustained momentum. Current trading ranges sit between $2.92 and $4.73, with a nearby support level at $1.73 and resistance at $5.35, while $7.16 poses a secondary resistance. Bulls and bears both hold sway, with no clear trend in place. Trading within these levels may offer opportunities for cautious entry or exit based on movements around the key support and resistance areas. Conclusion FET and TON have shown significant gains recently. Both coins have strong backing and potential for growth. Their continued uptrend depends on market conditions and investor sentiment. If the positive momentum continues, FET and TON could see further price increases. However, if interest wanes, they might lose steam. Observing market trends and news will be key to understanding their future performance. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

Cryptocurrency analyst and influencer Amonyx has once again emphasized his bullish stance on XRP, sharing a detailed technical chart on the social media platform X. The chart highlights strong similarities between XRP’s previous historical breakout and its current market structure, suggesting another significant upward movement may be approaching. The big breakout is coming soon. #XRP pic.twitter.com/HVWSio2rVQ — Amonyx (@amonbuy) April 25, 2025 Historical Accumulation Zone Mirrors Current Price Action In a prior statement reported by Times Tabloid , Amonyx posted, “The big breakout is coming soon. #XRP.” His latest analysis builds on this perspective by providing a visual representation of XRP’s market cycles. The chart he shared displays a triangular consolidation pattern that formed before XRP’s past explosive rally. Amonyx annotated the earlier accumulation zone with a yellow circle, noting the price compression that ultimately led to a breakout. He compared this historical structure directly to XRP’s current chart, implying that the same technical pattern is unfolding again. “Buying Under $20 Is a Blessing” — Amonyx Amonyx further emphasized the opportunity he believes investors have, stating, “Buying $XRP under $20 is a blessing from above.” This comment underscores his view that XRP remains undervalued at present levels and that its price may significantly increase. On the chart, XRP is trading just above $2, well below the $20 threshold he referenced. The setup indicates a gradual narrowing of the price range within a triangle formation, typically viewed by technical analysts as a precursor to a breakout when accompanied by historical precedent. Long-Term Targets Highlighted on Chart The technical chart presented by Amonyx shows key support and resistance levels, with a target zone drawn above the $20 range and potentially even higher, near $34.7850. This level is marked at the top of the chart as a possible long-term target, reinforcing the scale of the bullish movement he anticipates. We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023 Additionally, the chart visually tracks a massive historical decline of approximately 90% after the previous peak, highlighting the cyclical nature of XRP’s price movements and suggesting that another positive cycle could be underway. Important dates are also highlighted on the chart, including long-term projections into 2028 and beyond, indicating that Amonyx views XRP’s potential breakout not just as a short-term event but as part of a broader and extended market cycle. The timeline suggests that while the breakout could happen soon, the full extent of XRP’s appreciation may unfold over several years. Technical Evidence Reinforces Market Expectations Amonyx’s analysis adds to the ongoing sentiment among XRP supporters who argue that XRP’s historical patterns support the case for an eventual strong price recovery. His emphasis on the current price level being a “blessing” further conveys his belief that the present market presents a rare buying opportunity. Based on the chart and analytical evidence shared by Amonyx, there is a clear conviction that XRP is poised for a major market move. As always, price predictions in the volatile cryptocurrency market remain speculative. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.

The Layer-2s will drain all the value, and users will migrate elsewhere, eventually getting eclipsed by Bitcoin,” said Charles Hoskinson. Vitalik Buterin’s Layer-Zero Update Buterin responded directly to Hoskinson’s comments, which predicted Ethereum’s collapse within 15 years if it continued relying heavily on Layer-2 solutions. In a bid to address these scalability challenges, Buterin unveiled an exciting Layer-Zero upgrade. This proposal suggests transitioning Ethereum from the traditional Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to a more efficient zkVM system, based on RISC-V standards. The upgrade promises major improvements, including up to 832 times fewer cycles than the current EVM and a 95.7% reduction in proving cycles. These advancements are expected to increase throughput by 30 times through GPU acceleration, significantly improving the network’s efficiency. Plus, proof compression could shrink from 346MB to just 1.5MB, creating a much more streamlined system. .article-inside-link { margin-left: 0 !important; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; border-left: 0; border-right: 0; padding: 10px 0; text-align: left; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li { font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-weight: 600; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0; display: inline-block; } .entry ul.article-inside-link li:last-child { display: none; } Also Read : Charles Hoskinson Confirms XRP Integration and Midnight Airdrop for Holders , A Path to Ethereum’s Long-Term Growth However, this Layer-Zero update could potentially reshape Ethereum’s scalability, offering a new path forward that doesn’t rely on Layer-2 solutions.

The Layer-Zero upgrade is a proposal to transition Ethereum’s base layer to a zkVM system, improving scalability and reducing transaction costs by enhancing the Ethereum Virtual Machine’s efficiency. Why does Charles Hoskinson believe Ethereum will not survive in the next 10-15 years? Hoskinson argues that Ethereum’s reliance on Layer-2 solutions will drain its value, causing users to migrate to other platforms, ultimately resulting in Ethereum being eclipsed by Bitcoin. What is the difference between Layer-2 solutions and the Layer-Zero upgrade proposed by Buterin? Layer-2 solutions operate off Ethereum’s base layer to enhance scalability, while Layer-Zero aims to improve Ethereum’s base layer itself, offering greater efficiency and reducing dependence on external solutions.
