Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) experienced an unrealized loss of 15% at the beginning of April, while in previous deep bear markets, this indicator exceeded 75%. This indicates that despite the recent significant pullback in Bitcoin, the pressure faced by long-term holders is only a small fraction of historical cycle lows, and their belief in holding has not been tested to the same extent.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin Bond Company CEO Pierre Rochard stated that the current fourth bear market of Bitcoin has significantly decoupled from past cycles and is performing stronger. In the previous cycles, the maximum drawdown was about 85% from 2013-2015, nearly 77% from 2017-2018 and 2021-2022, while this round has dropped from a historical high of about $126,000 to around $60,000, with a maximum drawdown of only about 52%.Rochard believes that this resilience mainly comes from two new demands: the cumulative net inflow of Bitcoin spot ETFs exceeding $59 billion, and continuous purchases by corporate treasuries (such as Strategy holding over 818,000 BTC). These institutional demands did not exist during the bear markets of 2018 and 2022.Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Capital, also stated that the current market is no longer the same environment as in 2022, and the view that "Bitcoin will break out of the bear flag pattern and bottom in October 2026" may be the most crowded trading expectation.

According to the official disclosure from BNB Chain, the total locked value (TVL) of real world assets (RWA) on the BNB Chain has officially surpassed $4 billion, setting a new historical high.

Glassnode released data on platform X indicating that the unrealized losses of Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) reached about 15% at the beginning of April. Compared to the historical depths of bear market cycles where this metric exceeded 75%, the impact of this market correction on long-term holders is significantly lighter.Analysis points out that although the recent price pullback has resulted in some paper losses, the overall pressure remains far below historical cycle lows, indicating that the current decline has not yet posed a substantial test to the beliefs of long-term holders. Structurally, this adjustment leans more towards mid-term fluctuations rather than a complete cyclical capitulation.

Matthew Sigel, the head of digital asset research at VanEck, stated in an interview with CNBC that he expects Bitcoin to reach its historical high again within the next 12 months. He pointed out that the current correlation between BTC and the Nasdaq is close to a five-year high, and the resilience of the U.S. stock market has driven this round of rebound. However, the derivatives market still lacks significant optimism, with the futures and options markets reflecting more short covering and hedging demand. Therefore, from a contrarian perspective, there may still be room for the market to continue.Matthew Sigel also mentioned that this year, a central bank has announced it will include Bitcoin in its foreign exchange reserves, which means BTC is gradually turning into a global asset used for large cross-border transaction settlements. He believes this is a major trend. In terms of investment direction, he is more optimistic about the increase in Bitcoin's market share and Bitcoin mining companies benefiting from the trend of AI integration. He stated that mining companies are becoming important beneficiaries of AI infrastructure, and as AI business grows, the pressure on mining companies to sell BTC for fundraising is decreasing. Additionally, Matthew Sigel believes that if the CLARITY Act is passed, it could reignite sentiment in the altcoin market, but currently, institutional investors remain cautious about most altcoins due to regulatory and investor protection issues.

Bitcoin approached the critical 200-day simple moving average (SMA, around $83,300) on Wednesday but failed to achieve a valid breakout, subsequently falling back below $81,000.Meanwhile, the overall cryptocurrency market weakened, with the CoinDesk Smart Contract Platform Index dropping over 2% in the past 24 hours, making it the weakest performer among major sectors. The market generally views the 200-day moving average as an important indicator for measuring long-term trends. If BTC can hold above this level, it will further reinforce the market narrative that "the bear market ended when it fell below $63,000 in February this year, and a new bull market has begun." However, a similar situation occurred in March 2022, when Bitcoin briefly broke through and tested the 200-day moving average, only to eventually fall to around $20,000 in June of the same year, leading some analysts to warn of the risk of a "false breakout."Analytical firm Marex stated that whether BTC can continue to rise depends on three major factors: whether spot funds continue to chase prices, whether exchange supply continues to tighten, and whether the derivatives market remains healthy and not overheated. If all three factors align, Bitcoin may quickly open up space towards the $85,000 range.FxPro Chief Market Analyst Alex Kuptsikevich pointed out that this round of correction seems more like a brief pause in the upward process rather than the end of the trend. However, he also reminded that the daily RSI had previously entered the overbought zone, and similar past situations were accompanied by significant corrections. Additionally, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond has fallen from a high of 4.46% at the beginning of the month to 4.32%, which is seen as a potential positive factor for risk assets.

In the first quarter of Greg Abel's tenure as CEO, Berkshire Hathaway's cash reserves surged to a record high of $397 billion. At the end of last year, the company's cash reserves had slightly decreased, but they increased significantly in the first quarter due to a net sale of $8.1 billion in stocks during the period.Additionally, Berkshire Hathaway A (BRK.A.N) reported Q1 2026 revenue of $93.675 billion, compared to $89.725 billion in the same period last year, with market expectations of $89.274 billion; net profit was $10.106 billion, compared to $4.603 billion in the same period last year, with market expectations of $11.762 billion. The fair value of fixed-income securities held by Berkshire Hathaway at the end of Q1 2026 reached $17.669 billion, compared to $17.816 billion in the same period last year.Buffett has always viewed cash as "a necessary but undesirable asset," often likening it to oxygen, which is crucial for businesses but not a good investment in itself. Buffett repeatedly emphasizes that Berkshire will never prefer holding cash equivalents over quality businesses; cash is merely a war chest waiting for "super good opportunities." When market valuations are too high and there are no attractive investment targets, he prefers to hoard cash rather than force a purchase; but once a great opportunity arises, he will deploy this ammunition without hesitation. In Buffett's view, cash can provide safe returns in a high-interest-rate environment, but in the long run, it is far less valuable than investing in excellent companies.While Berkshire's cash holdings reach a new high, despite the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices recently hitting historical highs, there are still multiple risk hazards behind the market, and valuations are in a historically high range. Data shows that as of April, the rolling price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 is about 24 times (historical average is about 16 times), and the Shiller price-to-earnings ratio (cyclically adjusted) has risen to over 37 times, at a historically high level, second only to the internet bubble period. This combination of "valuation + high expectations" means that the market has very limited room for error. Furthermore, the current rise in U.S. stocks is built on optimistic assumptions such as "AI-driven profits, falling inflation, declining interest rates, and controllable risks," and any deviation in these variables could trigger amplified shocks in the market.

The TRC20 version of USDT will significantly enhance the existing decentralized application ecosystem of TRON, bringing higher overall value storage and stronger liquidity for decentralized exchanges, and providing a more convenient blockchain entry for enterprise-level partners and institutional investors.

VanEck analysts Matthew Sigel and Patrick Bush wrote an analysis stating that Bitcoin has shown two historically bullish signals: negative funding rates and a decline in hash rate concentration, while volatility has cooled down.As tensions between the U.S. and Iran eased, Bitcoin's realized volatility dropped from 56% to 41%, while the 7-day average funding rate turned negative to -1.8%, marking the lowest level since 2023.Historically, negative funding rates typically indicate strong future returns: since 2020, the average 30-day return for Bitcoin during periods of negative funding rates has been +11.5%, compared to an overall return of +4.5%, with a hit rate as high as 77%. Funding rates below -5% have brought a +19.4% return over a 30-day period.Additionally, hash rate has fallen to the 16th percentile in the past 30 days, marking the most concentrated decline since the mining ban in 2021. In the last 7 instances of hash rate decline, Bitcoin's price increased 6 times after 90 days, with a median increase of +37.7%.
