"Breaking: Hacker Returns $153,800 to Victim After $68 Million Theft!
In a surprising turn of events, the hacker behind the $68 million Ethereum theft has returned 51 ETH (~$153,800) to the victim, along with a message to contact them on Telegram. The communication, confirmed by on-chain data on Etherscan, occurred after the victim requested a significant portion of the stolen funds on May 5th.
The hacker, using the Input Data field in the Ethereum transaction, wrote, "Please leave your Telegram, I will contact you," twice to the victim. This gesture comes after the victim warned the hacker about the impossibility of laundering the funds, implying that tracing was inevitable.
In a plea to the hacker, the victim urged them to keep 10% of the stolen amount and return the rest by May 6th, setting a deadline for further restitution. This move marks a dramatic twist in the high-stakes crypto theft, leaving many wondering about the hacker's next move.
$AUCTION has broken out again! It has confirmed support at $15.6 and is now heading towards our next target of $35 with significant volume. With Bitcoin expected to remain bullish, this could be a great opportunity.

Warren Buffett has amassed a staggering $189 billion in cash, a record amount for him. Analysts have noticed a pattern: every time Buffett accumulates large sums of cash following a Federal Reserve interest rate hike, a significant stock market crash happens within the next twelve months. This pattern has repeated in 2000, 2008, and 2020.
Buffett sells off assets and hoards cash, which he then uses to buy assets at the low point of the market. The chart clearly illustrates his strategy of accumulating cash before each crisis.
Keep an eye on $1000SATS, $QUICK, and $BTTC as Buffett's cash strategy could have an impact on the market.

In the short term, we've seen a surge in Bitcoin's price, taking out a significant amount of liquidity. Now, the focus seems to be on targeting liquidity to the downside. Over the past day, Bitcoin hit a lot of liquidity around 65,000. With the recent short-term pullback, we're now aiming for a major liquidity area between 62,200 and 62,500.
Looking at the bigger picture, there's massive liquidity for Bitcoin around $67,500 and $71,500-$72,000. Once we surpass these levels, billions in short positions could be liquidated, potentially triggering a significant upward surge.
Based on Bitcoin cycles, it looks like the low should hit in 1-2 weeks, and then we're out of this range. Remember when I called it at 57k? I said we'd see higher prices, and now it's happening. Trust me, folks. Learn to listen, anon!
๐ Hold onto your hats! Michael Saylor, a major player in the crypto world, just made a bold prediction about the future of altcoins and potential regulatory crackdowns. ๐
In his latest statement, Saylor suggests that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is gearing up to tighten its grip on altcoins. Brace yourselves, because if Saylor's right, we might be in for a seismic shift in the crypto landscape.
Here's the scoop:
๐ SEC's Radar: Saylor predicts that the SEC will increase its oversight of altcoins, potentially imposing stricter rules or even cracking down on those not playing by the book.
๐ฅ Market Turmoil: Imagine a regulatory storm hitting altcoins like a tidal wave. This could mean significant changes in how these coins are traded, affecting liquidity, accessibility, and investor sentiment.
๐ฌ Investor Anxiety: With uncertainty looming, crypto traders and investors might want to reconsider their strategies. It's all about being prepared for whatever curveballs the market might throw.
What does this mean for crypto traders like you and me?
Well, if Saylor's hunch is right, we could be looking at a whole new ballgame. Expect more rules, possibly fewer altcoins on the market, and a quest for stability that might dampen the wild ride of crypto innovation.
Here's what to watch out for:
๐ SEC Updates: Keep an eye on what the SEC announces or hints at. Any official statements could send shockwaves through the crypto scene.
๐ Market Reaction: Watch how altcoin prices and trading volumes respond to regulatory rumblings. It's like reading tea leaves, but for the digital age.
๐ฉโ๐ผ Expert Insights: When in doubt, listen to the pros. Legal experts and financial gurus will likely have some sage advice on navigating this new era of crypto regulations.

Exciting news, folks! According to the chart I shared earlier, #BTC has just broken the falling wedge triangle, signaling a bullish trend. However, we need to tread cautiously despite this recovery due to one significant concern.
โจMy Main Concernโจ Last Friday, we witnessed an outflow in the BTC SPOT ETF, which negatively impacted the market. So, while we can remain positive, let's stay vigilant for any potential market reversals when the SPOT ETF market reopens on Monday.

Currently, $SOL is facing resistance at $145, and the volatility in the market poses risks. If you're uncertain, consider closing with small losses or breaking even.
Another significant crypto theft has occurred today, resulting in a whale losing $71 million worth of #Bitcoin (BTC) to hackers. The victim lost 1,155 #WBTC to a phishing attack.
According to Look On-Chain, a leading data provider, here's what happened: - The victim created a new address and transferred 0.05 ETH to it. - The fraudster then created a similar-looking address and transferred 0 ETH to himself, making the transfer appear in the transaction history. - Many wallets hide the middle part of the address, making it harder to differentiate. - When the victim attempted to transfer WBTC to the new address, they accidentally copied the fraudster's address and sent all WBTC to them.
This incident serves as a reminder to double-check every transfer to prevent falling victim to crypto hackers.
JPMorgan, a banking giant, has expressed a cautious stance on cryptocurrencies in the short term. The bank cited a lack of positive catalysts and diminishing retail investor interest as key reasons for their approach.
According to JPMorgan analysts, three main factors contribute to their cautious stance: 1. Elevated positioning 2. High Bitcoin prices compared to gold and estimated production costs 3. Subdued crypto venture capital funding
In addition, the bank noted that retail investors have been actively selling both crypto and equity assets over the past month.
On the same day, Blackrock expressed optimism about pension, sovereign wealth, and endowment funds entering the Bitcoin ETF markets. Meanwhile, BNP Paribas, Europeโs second-largest bank, revealed its holding of Blackrock's own ETF product.
๐ BTC Halving Completed: What's Next for Bitcoin and Altcoins?
Following the completion of the BTC halving, Bitcoin experienced a 10-15% correction, leading to a bearish sentiment among investors. As expected, altcoins also corrected, with some experiencing a 30-32% drop.
This correction is a normal part of the market cycle after a halving, eliminating weak hands and preparing for the next phase. Despite knowing the cyclical nature of the market, many still panic during these periods.
Remember, sideways movement often precedes a significant rally. It's crucial to zoom out and analyze higher time frames to gain perspective.
As always, people tend to panic at the bottom and FOMO at the top. Here's what to expect:
Q2: Sideways Movement Q3 & Q4: Expansion
Watch for the weekly candle body close:
- Above $58,940: Bullish SFP and Po3, signaling a resume pump. - Below $58,940: Range development and accumulation, with a potential fill of the monthly void before expansion.
๐ Bitcoin Faces Nervous Moments: Key Levels to Watch!
After the halving, Bitcoin's value started declining, triggering panic among investors as it dropped to $56,622. The halving's expected impact, along with the Fed's strict interest policy and significant outflows from spot BTC ETFs, contributed to Bitcoin's downturn.
Following its all-time high, Bitcoin experienced heavy selling pressure after falling below the $63,000 - $62,000 range. Negative news from Spot ETF BTCs, panic selling among investors, and ongoing geopolitical tensions further pushed the market down.
As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $57,814. If the Fed reduces interest rates, halving enthusiasm resumes, or geopolitical tensions ease, Bitcoin may aim for higher levels. In such a scenario, we could see increases to $59,009 โ $60,722 โ $62,100 โ $63,000 โ $64,534 โ $67,091 โ $71,289, and $73,684, respectively.
However, if the current trend persists, further decline is likely. In such a scenario, Bitcoin may drop to $56,622 - $52,898 - $50,580, and $47,755, respectively.
๐ What's Next for $BTC After the Sharp Decline and How I'm Positioning Myself:
๐ With the breakdown of the $60,000 support, $BTC experienced a sharp decline today, dropping to $56,000. Although $56,600 is currently acting as strong support, the fall may not be over yet.
๐ Today's Fed rate decision is crucial, and the market's reaction to it will determine future movements. A rate decision higher than expected could lead to a steeper decline.
๐ก If we see a daily close below $56,600, the next support level at $53,000 could be tested as there is no significant support in between.
๐ Currently, the price is 3% below the lower Bollinger Bands on the daily chart. Historically, such instances have led to immediate rebounds. While new highs might not be imminent, a short-term rise is possible.
๐ I anticipate revisiting the +$60,000 levels soon, so I'm closing my short positions and increasing my long positions. However, these long positions are short-term, preparing for new short positions.
๐ Looking ahead, I expect declining volume and more sideways movement throughout May and Q2. Trading within the $56,000-$60,000 range might frustrate many traders, but it's crucial to stay in the game and stick to your strategy.
๐ This morning, I opened a $ETH long position at $2,860, aiming to close it at +$3,000. In case of negative news before reaching this target, I'll accept the situation and set a stop loss.
๐ฎ Remember, predicting the future is uncertain. Positions taken depend on individual risk appetite and financial situation. Always have your own plan!
๐ Today's market is on high alert due to key data releases in the US. The PMI precursor data and the Fed's interest rate decision are expected to trigger significant volatility, particularly impacting XAUUSD and Nasdaq.
๐ At 21:00, the Fed's interest rate decision will be announced. The consensus is that the Fed will maintain the interest rate unchanged, which aligns with my view as well.
๐๏ธ However, the spotlight will be on Powell's statements at 21:30. Why? The market is currently pricing in potential Fed interest rate cuts based on the timeline. Expectations suggest the Fed will cut rates once by the end of the year, likely in December.
๐ Powell's speech is crucial because any hints of earlier rate cuts or the possibility of more than one cut would be favorable for BTC.
๐ Why is Bitcoin Falling? The Fed's Impact Revealed! ๐
Bitcoin's recent decline can be attributed to several key factors, notably the anticipated interest rate decision by the Federal Reserve and statements from Fed Chairman Powell. There's considerable market anxiety surrounding Powell's forthcoming statements following today's decision.
Additionally, the decrease in investments in ETFs has contributed to the downturn in cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin. Over the past week, all Bitcoin ETFs have closed each day in the red, with a net investment outflow of over $500 million from ETFs in just a few days.
Matteo Greco, a research analyst at Fineqia, explained to Reuters, โThe recent downward trend can be attributed to increased profit-taking by investors who entered the market during the 2022 and 2023 crises, as well as by ETF investors who saw a significant price increase in their shares after entering the market in the first weeks of 2024.โ
From a macro perspective, although the Fed isn't expected to change interest rates, investor sentiment suggests the central bank may not cut interest rates at all this year. This perception could negatively impact interest rate-sensitive assets such as cryptocurrencies, emerging market stocks and bonds, and commodities.
Furthermore, there's concern among traders that the Fed may maintain high interest rates for an extended period, potentially triggering significant movements in the stock market.
The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision will be announced at 21:00 this evening, followed by Powell's press conference at 21:30.
This updated chart reflects the evolution of the previously labeled chart. The $60,500 level, as mentioned earlier, has been tested six times since moving away from that range. This region has proven its significance repeatedly.
It's a common belief in the market that the more a region is tested, the weaker it becomes, which holds true to some extent. Although we've previously discussed the possibility of the $52K region on a weekly basis, I now find it rather surprising.
There are three critical levels indicated by the red lines: $57K, $55K, and $52K. While there's a chance we might see a bounce back to $57K, depending on the Federal Reserve's announcement tomorrow, anything lower than that would be unexpected for me.
Personally, I anticipate BTC to rebound from here, possibly accepting the $57K level. I expect significant market increases until July. However, we remain cautious, making gradual purchases on the spot side and refraining from stop transactions on the margin side.
