Here is the full picture as of April 8, 2026, UTC+8 morning.
Price action
BTC is printing $72,202, up roughly 4.9% in the last 24 hours and 6% over the seven days. The move is not a gentle grind. It came violently from a 24-hour low of $67,732, surged through $72,000 in the two most recent hourly candles, which combined for nearly $261 million in volume — the most intense buying pressure seen in weeks. The 90-day return is still negative at -20.7%, so this bounce is recovering from a deeper hole than most retail participants realize.

Good news on the peace talks, prices surged early, and a short-term decline is expected to see a pullback!
Iran's 10-point demands, honestly, the yellow-haired guy probably won't accept them. In the short term, it should remain within the range! Focus on the continuation strength above 728-73500; a break would be strong!
For early trading, short from the 72000-72500 zone, expecting a pullback to the 710-706 zone!
If you are caught in a position, add an extra 15%🈳! Clear everything if it drops a bit more!

SOL today rebounded from a low of 78.30 and then fluctuated upward, reaching a peak around 81.15, but selling pressure began to gradually emerge, and the bullish momentum weakened. The current price is around 81.00, and market sentiment is cautious, with increasing demand for technical corrections. From the chart, the price rebounded about 2.8 points from the lowest level, but the 81.00-81.50 area forms a short-term resistance, while the 80.00 level below is a key support. If it fails to break through effectively, the price is expected to decline again to test the 79.50-78.80 area.

$AAVE Recently, there have been a string of negative developments, and all members of the core team are leaving. BGD Labs (V3 main contributor) officially ended its cooperation on April 1. The Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) announced that it will no longer renew its contract. Yesterday, Chaos Labs (the risk management party) also announced it is exiting. However, AAVE still holds 70% of the market share in the DeFi lending track. AAVE should really spend some money on the media or KOLs to do some proper public relations. Right now, these negative news items make it seem as if the project is about

Yesterday at the start of the broadcast, everyone was at 2174, with stop-loss set at 2050. Now it's back to the familiar level of 2150. You can reduce your position by 50% to 80%, and keep the rest to break even, with a stop-loss around 2200. Bitcoin hit 67,400 to go long, aiming for a big move. Missed the entry by 300 points.
