Bitcoin Pops Upwards After Consolidation
Bitcoin rose to just below $89,000 today after spending a week in a tight range with minimal volatility.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is pressing the range high of the current trading range.
If it were to break through, a further rally towards the yearly open level may be on the cards. This would also intertwine with bitcoin testing the key $92,000 region, which was once solid support but flipped to resistance.
However, bitcoin is still at resistance until it breaks through and may find itself crashing back down if it is to stall at this level.
200DMA
The 200 daily moving average (200DMA) is a key line for bitcoin.
As seen on the chart, bitcoin has faced a battle with it over the last two months.
Still, the price is now pressing the line again, alongside the range high. Conquering both may paint a much more bullish picture should it occur.
Gold
Gold’s run is nothing short of historic. It’s value gold continues to soar day after day, week after week.
Looking back on gold’s previous historic rally, a similar comparison can be drawn.
Gold started with momentum building on both before reaching a point of long sideways consolidation. Thereafter, it flipped strong resistance before entering a blow-off top surge.
It has yet to be determined if gold will face a similar end to this rally as the last, but the similarities are there to be analysed.
After blasting through $3,000 comfortably, the next area to watch out for may be the price approaching $4,000, should it get close.
S&P 500
The S&P 500 has yet to show signs of strength, beginning the week with a sell-off.
Lurking below at the $4,690 level is the 200 weekly moving average. Should the price get there, it will be an indication of what is to come.
If it holds, a significant bounce may occur. If it loses it, the high-time-frame trend could shift, and things may get very nasty quickly.
Fear & Greed Index
The Fear and Greed Index resides within Neutral and scores 46.
The Index demonstrates that sentiment in the market has not improved, and the fragile nature of confidence in bitcoin.
A push higher above $90,000 may trigger an uplift in sentiment.

Altcoin Season Incoming? Sygnum Bank Sees Bullish Q2 for Crypto Beyond Bitcoin
Swiss bank Sygnum predicts a Q2 altcoin rally amid improving crypto regulation and growing competition. Base, Toncoin, and Berachain lead the pack, while memecoins and BTC dominate attention.
Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum is turning bullish on altcoins for Q2 2025, citing improving regulations, shifting investor sentiment, and a maturing competitive landscape in crypto markets.
In its newly released Q2 2025 investment outlook, Sygnum said recent regulatory clarity, especially in the United States, could set the stage for a major altcoin resurgence, despite the current Bitcoin-heavy environment.
“None of the positive developments have been priced in,” Sygnum wrote.
⚖️ Regulation-Led Recovery: Crypto’s Turning Point?
Sygnum pointed to improved legal frameworks globally, especially in the U.S., where President Donald Trump’s Digital Asset Stockpile initiative and advancing stablecoin regulations have signalled a policy pivot toward digital asset adoption.
“We expect protocols successful in gaining user traction to outperform and bitcoin dominance to decline,” Sygnum said.
In early April, bitcoin's (BTC) dominance hit a four-year high, a sign that traders had been rotating into BTC's relative safety amid macroeconomic uncertainty and a broader market downturn.
With new regulation-fueled momentum, Sygnum believes altcoins could reclaim market share and kick off a new growth cycle.
🧠 Innovation & Value: Which Altcoins Could Lead?
Sygnum emphasised that projects will be forced to deliver real economic value to stand out as competition sharpens.
“The market’s increased focus on economic value compels greater competition for user growth and revenues,” the report said.
Among the protocols Sygnum flagged as worth watching:
Berachain – Incentivises validators to provide DeFi liquidity
Sonic – Rewards developers for attracting and retaining users
Toncoin – Taps into Telegram’s 1 billion+ user base
Sui and Aptos – Compete with high throughput and novel consensus models
Despite their technical prowess, Sygnum said many of these high-performance Layer 1 chains still struggle with fee income and long-term adoption.
🧱 Layer-2s & Memes: Base Still Leads, But Fades
Sygnum also spotlighted Layer-2 chains — particularly Base, the Coinbase-backed L2 — which exploded during the Q1 memecoin frenzy but has since cooled off.
Even after the correction, Base remains the leading Layer-2 network in:

💰 Total value locked (TVL)
😂 Memecoins Still Dominate Retail — But Not Institutions
According to CoinGecko, memecoins captured 27.1% of global investor attention in Q1 2025, just behind AI tokens at 35.7%. Retail investors continue to ride hype waves, while institutions are steadily building Bitcoin positions.
A recent report from Bitwise revealed that 12 public companies added BTC to their balance sheets in Q1, bringing public Bitcoin holdings to $57bn.
🧩 Key Takeaways
🔥 Altcoins could rally in Q2 thanks to stronger regulation and real-world traction.
🏛️ Trump’s digital asset policies may accelerate institutional interest.
🌐 Layer-1s like Toncoin and Berachain, and Layer-2s like Base, are leading the pack.
🐶 Memecoins remain retail darlings, but institutions are stacking Bitcoin.
Janover Doubles Down on Solana With $10.5m Investment, Eyes Staking Revenue
Janover boosts its digital asset strategy with a $10.5m Solana investment, staking 163,000+ SOL for yield. With support from ex-Kraken execs, it’s betting on altcoins over Bitcoin.
Real estate fintech firm Janover Inc. has boosted its digital asset holdings with a significant investment in Solana (SOL), acquiring 80,567 SOL worth approximately $10.5m, according to a 15 April announcement.
This latest buy brings Janover’s total Solana holdings to 163,651.7 tokens, currently valued at $21.2m, including accumulated staking rewards. With this move, Janover now holds 0.11 SOL per share across its 1.5m outstanding shares, raising the per-share value of SOL exposure to $14.47, a 120% increase.
🔁 Staking to Boost Returns
Janover says it will begin staking the newly acquired SOL immediately to unlock additional revenue streams. This move follows a $42m fundraising round, aimed at strengthening its digital asset treasury.
The raise — structured as a convertible note and warrants sale — included high-profile backers like Pantera Capital, Kraken, Arrington Capital, The Norstar Group, and a group of former Kraken executives. One of those execs, Joseph Onorati, Kraken’s former Chief Strategy Officer, now serves as Chairman and CEO of Janover, following the purchase of 700,000+ common shares and all Series A preferred stock.
🪙 Altcoins Enter the Corporate Treasury
While Bitcoin (BTC) remains the go-to treasury asset for many firms, Janover is one of the first public companies to actively accumulate Solana instead. This distinguishes it from the likes of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) — the most prominent corporate Bitcoin holder — which has amassed over 528,000 BTC, worth roughly $44.2bn, according to BitcoinTreasuries.net.
The decision to back SOL over BTC makes Janover an early mover in the altcoin treasury play, signaling growing confidence in Solana’s scalability, developer ecosystem, and staking model.
🧾 Bitcoin Still Dominates the Balance Sheet Narrative
While Solana is gaining attention, Bitcoin continues to dominate corporate balance sheets, particularly for firms looking to hedge against inflation. Japanese investment firm Metaplanet, dubbed “Japan’s MicroStrategy,” has also adopted Bitcoin as a primary treasury asset.
This strategy, embraced by both Strategy and Metaplanet, is seen by many as a long-term bet on decentralized, deflationary assets in a high-inflation macro climate.
“As the trade war intensifies, Bitcoin may return to the list of risky assets,” noted Alex Obchakevich, founder of Obchakevich Research. “Because investors will most likely look for salvation in gold.”
Nonetheless, a recent Wintermute report argues that Bitcoin is increasingly resilient to macro headwinds, perhaps validating the growing number of companies leaning into digital assets as part of broader treasury modernization efforts.
📌 TL;DR:
💰 Janover acquired 80,567 SOL for $10.5m, bringing total holdings to 163,651 SOL.
⚡️ The company will stake its Solana to earn passive income.
🚀 A $42m raise led by Kraken-aligned investors is fueling the treasury strategy.
👀 Janover stands out by accumulating an altcoin, rather than Bitcoin.
📈 Bitcoin still leads in corporate treasuries, but Solana’s presence is growing.
Gold Hits All-Time High — Will Bitcoin Be Next?
Gold just hit an all-time high, and history suggests Bitcoin could follow. Analysts say BTC may surge past $400k in late 2025 as gold leads the way.
Gold just broke new ground, and history suggests bitcoin might be right behind it.
On 17 April, gold surged to a fresh all-time high of $3,357 per ounce, stoking speculation that Bitcoin (BTC) could soon mirror the move. If past patterns hold, BTC may be gearing up for a parabolic run in the second half of 2025.
🪙 Gold’s Rally Has Historically Preceded Bitcoin Booms
Gold and Bitcoin have long shared a macroeconomic connection, particularly in times of uncertainty or when investors seek alternatives to the US dollar.
📈 In 2017, gold posted a 30% rally, and months later, Bitcoin soared to $19,120.
📈 During the COVID-19 crisis in 2020, gold hit a record near $2,075, and BTC followed, blasting past $69,000 in 2021.
Now, with gold again entering price discovery territory, analysts are eyeing a potential Bitcoin breakout in the coming quarters.
“When the printer roars to life, gold sniffs it out first, then Bitcoin follows harder.” — Joe Consorti, Head of Growth at Theya
According to Consorti, BTC tends to trail gold by 100–150 days, suggesting that any rally in gold today could mean fireworks for Bitcoin between Q3 and Q4 of 2025.
📈 Bitcoin’s Parabolic Phase Could Reach $400k, Analyst Says
Anonymous Bitcoin analyst apsk32 predicts BTC could enter a parabolic phase by mid-to-late 2025, potentially reaching as high as $400,000.
Using a power law model, the analyst plotted Bitcoin’s value in ounces of gold, normalising BTC's market cap to that of gold. The result? A powerful argument for BTC catching up in the months to come.
“Bitcoin follows gold’s directional bias,” said apsk32. “We’re entering that golden window.”
🇺🇸 Bitcoin “Thrives on Chaos,” Says Novogratz
In a recent CNBC interview, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz called Bitcoin and gold “key indicators of financial stewardship” in today’s fragile macro climate.
He described the current economic state as a “Minsky Moment”, a tipping point in financial markets. With US tariffs rising, a weakening dollar, and fears around ballooning debt, gold and Bitcoin are flashing warning signs of more profound global shifts.
“The US is starting to look like an emerging market,” Novogratz warned, pointing to unsustainable deficits and growing investor flight to safe havens.
⚖️ Bitcoin vs. Gold — Not a Rivalry, But a Relay
As the digital counterpart to gold, Bitcoin has repeatedly amplified gold’s moves, reflecting its higher volatility and speculative potential.
Gold may move first, but Bitcoin, as it has in every previous cycle, tends to run harder and faster.
🔮 Key Takeaways
🥇 Gold hit $3,357, its highest price ever.
📈 Bitcoin often rallies 3–6 months after gold.
💸 Analysts predict BTC could reach $400k by late 2025.
🌎 Global macro risks are fueling renewed interest in non-sovereign stores of value.
🧠 History shows: when gold runs, Bitcoin sprints.
