Trump Says ‘No Deal’ Without Iran Surrender as Oil Prices Jump and War Expands

Spot Bitcoin ETFs listed in the US recorded their steepest single-day outflow 
in nearly three weeks on Friday, with $349 million pulled from all 11 products 
combined, according to data from Farside. Related Reading: Stablecoin Market 
Breaks Records — USDC Controls 70% Of $1.8 Trillion Volume The withdrawals 
came as Bitcoin slid back toward $68,000 after briefly touching $74,000 
earlier in the week — a run-up that, based on on-chain data, appears to have 
been the trigger for a significant wave of selling by large holders. Big 
Holders Bought Low, Then Sold Fast Crypto analytics platform Santiment tracked 
the behavior of wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 Bitcoin — a group 
commonly referred to as whales — and found they had been building positions 
aggressively between Feb. 23 and March 3, when prices were stuck in the 
$62,900 to $69,600 range. Once Bitcoin crossed $74,000 on Wednesday, those 
same wallets began offloading. By Friday, roughly 66% of what they had 
accumulated over that 10-day window had been sold back into the market. 
Smaller investors moved in the opposite direction. Wallets holding less than 
0.01 Bitcoin — the retail end of the market — have been adding to their 
positions as prices fell. According to Santiment, that kind of divergence 
between large and small holders has historically pointed to more downside 
ahead. &#8220;When retail buys while whales sell, it typically signals that the 
correction is not yet over,&#8221; the platform said in a Friday report. Fear Gauge 
Drops To Its Lowest Reading In Weeks Bitcoin&#8217;s slide pushed the Crypto Fear &amp; 
Greed Index down six points to a score of 12 on Saturday, placing it deep in 
&#8220;Extreme Fear&#8221; territory. The index measures market sentiment across a range 
of factors including volatility, trading volume, and social media activity. 
Some analysts said that Bitcoin could still face another drop if buyers fail 
to defend the current price zone. A loss of support around the $67,000–$68,000 
range may trigger a move back toward recent lows to gather liquidity before 
any potential rebound. An Economist&#8217;s Case For A $60K Floor Not everyone sees 
a breakdown coming. Economist Timothy Peterson pointed to the Bitcoin Price to 
Metcalfe Value chart — a model that measures Bitcoin&#8217;s price against the 
estimated value of its network based on user activity — and said the $60,000 
level has held as a bottom in every prior cycle. &#8220;About 99.5% chance it stays 
above $60k,&#8221; Peterson wrote on X. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Brief Rally Isn’t 
The End Of The Bear Market, Analysts Say Bitcoin had already tested that level 
once this cycle, falling to $60,000 on Feb. 6 during a broader pullback from 
an all-time high of $126,000 set in October. Since then, it has managed a 
partial recovery, though Friday&#8217;s ETF outflows and the continued whale selling 
suggest the market has not yet found stable footing. Featured image from

Derivatives Activity Boils as Bitcoin Options Traders Favor Calls Over Puts

Ethereum is showing early signs of a rising wedge formation, a pattern often 
associated with potential reversals. With key support under pressure, a 
breakdown from this structure could push the price lower, putting the $1,500 
level firmly in focus as the next major target. A Rejection At Key High- 
Timeframe Support Luca, in a recent update, highlighted that Ethereum’s price 
has been rejected at the lost high-timeframe support range he referenced in 
previous PAT updates. This level also aligns with the 2D Bull Market Support 
Band at $2,180, making it a critical zone for assessing market direction. The 
rejection suggests that buyers are struggling to reclaim key support, keeping 
the market under pressure. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Support Intact, but 
Market Signals Waning Bullish Momentum Examining the mid-term picture, Luca 
noted that since early February, Ethereum has been forming a rising wedge 
pattern. Rising wedges are often considered cautionary signals because they 
can precede corrective moves, indicating that the current upward attempts may 
lack the strength needed to sustain a rally. Until there is clear evidence of 
a durable breakout above both the lost high-timeframe support range and the 2D 
Bull Market Support Band, Luca advises that traders should remain hedged and 
avoid overly aggressive positions. This strategy helps limit exposure while 
waiting for a more definitive market trend to emerge. For the time being, Luca 
plans to remain hedged to mitigate mid-term downside risk. The most probable 
scenario, according to his analysis, is continued consolidation within the 
lost high-timeframe range. If bearish pressure persists, Ethereum may continue 
the high-timeframe downtrend observed over the past few weeks. The next key 
high-timeframe support to monitor aligns with the early April 2025 lows near 
$1,500. Ethereum Shows Potential For End-Of-Week Trades Ethereum could present 
some interesting end-of-week trading opportunities. Lennaert Snyder revealed 
that price action around key levels may offer both short-term and mid-term 
setups for active traders. Related Reading: The $2,000 Fault Line: Why 
Ethereum’s Record Volatility Signals An Imminent Explosion According to the 
analyst, Ethereum is currently holding at the $2,036 low, which indicates a 
correlation with the Smart Money Theory (SMT) and Bitcoin. This alignment 
suggests that price movements in ETH may follow broader market trends seen in 
BTC, providing potential clues for trading decisions. Snyder plans to enter 
shorts if Ethereum sweeps and rejects the buy-side liquidity above $2,099, 
using a bearish MSB as his trigger. Conversely, if price breaks above $2,099, 
he’ll target longs toward $2,163, relying on SMT with BTC and previously 
captured sell-side liquidity. He also cautioned traders to be mindful of 
today’s Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) release, which can create volatility across 
crypto markets. Sudden market reactions could impact ETH’s price action, 
making careful risk management essential around the news event. Featured image
