Bitcoin continues to climb, gaining over 10% in the past week. Yet beneath the surface, a deeper transformation is underway in the crypto market. As observed by Ki-Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, the era of value-driven investment seems to have faded. He observes that since 2018, many original long-term crypto believers have either left the market or shifted to seeking short-term profits. The focus now, Ju argues, involves fast, speculative capital chasing quick returns across a volatile landscape, with potentially less commitment to the long-term vision for many projects beyond Bitcoin itself.

Consequently, builders and investors alike face increasing pressure. Most projects no longer attract dedicated backers, and even the strongest believers are showing signs of fatigue. Related: Q2 Bitcoin Outlook Brightens on Favorable Macro Shifts, Technical Strength With the flow of capital moving rapidly between assets, often with little fundamental support, the nature of crypto investing has become transactional. Ki-Young Ju notes that today’s environment rewards speed over conviction, creating an atmosphere that leaves little room for patient innovation. Additionally, the cyclical nature of Bitcoin’s supply and demand further complicates things. Historical analysis of Bitcoin’s price versus its 365-day moving average signal reveals a predictable rhythm. Peaks near the 0.6–0.8 signal range have consistently marked overbought phases. In contrast, troughs around -1.2 tend to precede major rallies, marking accumulation zones. The current upward trajectory in this signal suggests increasing demand. However, it has not yet reached historically significant peaks, hinting that Bitcoin could still have room to grow, possibly toward the $100,000 level. According to analyst Ali Martinez, Bitcoin is currently trading within a horizontal channel. The price recently bounced off the key support level of $83,200. This reaction suggests strong buying interest and may lead to a retest of resistance near $84,500. Should momentum continue, Bitcoin could break toward the upper boundary near $85,800 . A confirmed move beyond that level would indicate a bullish trend continuation. As of press time, Bitcoin trades at $84,830.17 with a daily volume exceeding $23 billion. The current trend shows resilience, even as broader investor behavior shifts. Disclaimer: The information presented in this article is for informational and educational purposes only.

Open interest in the Stellar (XLM) futures market is steadily growing. This indicates that derivatives traders are anticipating a significant upside. Recent spikes in open interest indicate the growing interest of the market participants in Stellar and their enthusiasm to rival XRP with a series of new investors. Per Coinglass data , 483.42 million XLM (worth approximately $117.31 million) are currently held in contracts waiting to be settled. The increase goes up by 1.32% compared to the day before. This indicates that traders are keen on pricing into the upside for the XLM price. Furthermore, bullish technical signals are exhibited with XLM’s recent chart movements. The asset is pushing against the upper boundary of an ascending triangle pattern on the four-hour chart, which is usually construed as a ‘pre-tussle’ of impending breakouts. Thus, the analysts watch closely the $0.2460 resistance level as a key level for the asset. Normally, a decisive break above this barrier will open the door for further bullish momentum should XLM break through, as highlighted in our previous story. The growing confidence of the traders is further boosted by a Stellar’s rebound from a recent downturn. The asset has experienced a recovery from a sharp sell-off that knocked investor sentiment, and it has weathered that well. However, XLM price has shown a resilient posture with the market still experiencing volatility. XLM price is down 1.33 in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.2409 at the time of reporting on Tuesday, April 15. On the contrary, last week’s performance shows a positive picture, with an increase of 3.23% over seven days. Such an upward trend has been a major factor in robbing investors of the jitters and reinforcing the narrative of a continued rally. Moreover, the Stellar price chart is making market watchers take notice of the technical formations on the chart. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has informed that the triangular consolidation pattern developing on the chart can develop a gigantic value swing. According to Martinez’s analysis, the completion of this pattern could lead to 15% or higher double tops, providing further incentive to traders.
