Bitcoin Chills Above $70K

DAILY MARKET OVERVIEW

Calm… For Now

👋 Hey, Crypto Enthusiasts! Bitcoin holds $70K as macro cools and a wild BTC use case emerges. Let’s explore!

After a week of headline-driven chaos, things are starting to… chill. Bitcoin is holding above $70K, sitting comfortably instead of swinging on every headline.

On the macro side, nothing broke.

The latest PCE print came in at 2.8% YoY, exactly as expected. No surprises, no inflation shock, no reason for markets to panic.

👀 Now all eyes shift to tomorrow’s CPI:

• Headline expected: 3.4%

• Core expected: 2.7%

So what’s the setup ⁉️ 

For now, crypto is trying to stabilize. But traders aren’t fully buying into the calm just yet. The ceasefire is still fragile, and a lot of sidelined capital is waiting to see if it actually holds.

And then… this dropped.

According to the Financial Times, Iran is charging oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz not in dollars, but in Bitcoin.

Up to $2M per tanker. 🪙 

It’s not the cleanest adoption story but it highlights something important. When censorship resistance matters, Bitcoin gets chosen.

🐂 At the same time, Michael Saylor thinks the worst may already be behind us.

His view: Bitcoin likely bottomed around $60K, not because sentiment improved, but because sellers ran out. Forced selling cleared, while institutions kept accumulating.

He also dismissed quantum computing fears, calling them a future problem with plenty of time for Bitcoin to adapt.

For now, the panic is reduced… but conviction hasn’t fully returned.

Stablecoins About to Get… Ridiculous ⁉️ 

Chainalysis, a blockchain data and analytics firm, says stablecoin volume could reach… $1.5 quadrillion by 2035.

Yeah. Quadrillion… 🤯 

Accord to them, the jump to quadrillion comes down to two core catalysts.

1. The wealth transfer: around $100 trillion is expected to move from Boomers to Millennials and Gen Z, and these generations don’t just hold money differently, they use it differently. More digital, more global, more crypto-native. That means capital doesn’t just sit in bank accounts, it moves increasingly on-chain, which is how you get an additional ~$500 trillion in annual volume.
   

2. Payments going on-chain: this is the bigger unlock. If stablecoins move beyond trading into everyday payments, the same dollar can circulate multiple times a day across wallets, merchants, apps, and services. That dramatically increases velocity, and volume isn’t just about how much money exists, but how often it moves. That’s where another ~$200 trillion comes from.

It’s not that quadrillions of dollars suddenly appear. It’s that the same capital starts moving faster, more globally, and on blockchain rails.

🎲 That’s the bet.

And players like Stripe and Mastercard are already positioning for it.

Still sounds crazy. But the mechanism… kind of makes sense.

Summary From The Top Influencers 📷️ 

Benjamin Cowen – Bitcoin: Bear Market Resistance Band (09.04.2026 Summary)

Benjamin Cowen breaks down why Bitcoin’s recent rally might be running into a key resistance area, and why the bigger picture still points to downside risk.

• Bitcoin is currently around $71–72K, while the bear market resistance band sits higher at ~$78–79K, a level that often acts as rejection during bear markets.

• In past cycles, Bitcoin sometimes briefly moves above this band, but most rallies fail there and continue lower, especially in mid-cycle bear phases.

• The current structure is similar to previous years: low in February, rally in March, weakness into April, which often leads to another leg down later.

• Cowen still sees a ~70–75% chance that Bitcoin makes a lower low, since key bottom signals (like MVRV, realized price, etc.) haven’t been reached yet.

• The broader macro matters: we’re likely in a late business cycle, where money moves from risk to safety → altcoins → Bitcoin → stocks → gold.

• That’s why altcoins are underperforming heavily, and even when Bitcoin rallies, they barely move.

Final takeaway
Bitcoin could still rally toward the $78–79K resistance zone, but that’s more likely a sell area than a breakout.

Overall, Cowen’s view is simple: the low is probably not in yet, and this is still a bear market with more downside risk ahead.

Paul Barron – White House Backs Stablecoin Yields with FACTS!🔥MASSIVE Crypto Catalyst (09.04.2026 Summary)

Paul Barron highlights why regulation and stablecoins could be a major turning point for crypto, even if markets still feel uncertain.

Key points

• Markets have been weak, but fundamentals are improving while sentiment stays low, which often signals a good long-term setup.

• The Clarity Act is moving forward, helped by a White House-backed report showing banks overstated the risks of stablecoins.

• Stablecoins are shifting from “threat to banks” to a more efficient financial system that could drive global adoption.

• The Genius Act is opening the door for institutions and could even strengthen the US dollar through stablecoin demand.

• Big institutions are now building crypto products, meaning exposure to crypto is becoming a necessity, not a choice.

Final takeaway
Short term volatility is still likely, but the direction is clear: regulation is improving, institutions are entering, and crypto is becoming part of the global financial system.
