The People's Bank of China Shaoguan Branch, in conjunction with the Shaoguan Municipal Government Office, issued a virtual currency risk warning on the occasion of "4·15" National Security Education Day, and announced four typical cases: "High Salary for U Part-time" money laundering, "Guaranteed Principal High Interest Cryptocurrency Trading" illegal fundraising, "RWA Digital Cultural Tourism Fund" pyramid scheme fraud, and offline "Coin Exchange" disguised foreign exchange trading.Regulators have made it clear that virtual currency exchange, trading, and RWA tokenization activities are illegal financial behaviors.

According to CoinDesk, the price of Bitcoin has broken a four-week high and has now risen to over $74,000.Analysis indicates that $75,000 is a key "volatility release point," and due to the negative gamma effect in the derivatives market, price fluctuations may be amplified. This range also coincides with Bitcoin's 100-day moving average, which became a major resistance level in January of this year.If the price breaks above $75,000, the upward trend may accelerate further; if it falls back, it could increase downward pressure. The range of $80,000 to $80,600 is a positive gamma zone, where market volatility is relatively low, and the trend may tend toward range-bound fluctuations. Additionally, the 200-day moving average is currently at $87,519, serving as a long-term price reference.

The People's Court of Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province recently tried a criminal case involving virtual currency, where the defendant, through a "high-paying errand" job, knowingly withdrew a total of over 390,000 yuan within 7 days in areas without surveillance, and converted the funds into virtual currency to transfer to their superior, profiting 21,500 yuan in the process.The court determined that the defendant constituted the crime of concealing and disguising criminal proceeds, sentencing them to two years and four months in prison and imposing a fine of 10,000 yuan, as well as ordering the return of illegal gains. The judge reminded that offline cash withdrawals have become a key link in "laundering" telecom fraud proceeds, and that "errand cash withdrawals" and "high-paying daily settlements" are often part of the fraud chain. The public should be vigilant against behaviors such as cash collection, transfers, and assisting in fund transfers to avoid becoming accomplices in crime.

According to market news, Bitcoin (BTC) closed up 1.8%, ending a five-month decline since 2025, but faced a new round of volatility at the beginning of April, dropping to $67,630 during the Asian morning session.Although April has historically been a strong month for BTC (with an average historical increase of 12.1%), the market has continued to deviate from seasonal patterns since the end of 2025. Regarding macro and geopolitical uncertainties, Binance Research pointed out that if clear signals of a ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran emerge, it could boost the crypto market for further recovery.On the technical side, some analysts believe that the current macro environment closely resembles the market structure before the significant BTC rises in 2016 and 2020. However, Alphractal's CEO and CryptoQuant models both indicate that the current bottom may appear between September and November 2026, at which point there is a possibility of prices falling below $40,000.

Yili Hua posted on platform X, stating that the current cryptocurrency market is in a bear market and the war is not over, lacking a significant rebound. The performance of the cryptocurrency sector over the past four years has been disappointing, with the crypto middle class, retail investors, and VCs all being harvested, while exchanges, market makers, and project teams continue to siphon off funds. Currently, the market's capital inflow mainly comes from Wall Street ETFs, DAT, and a few believers, and there has been no disruptive innovation in the cryptocurrency sector yet.

SkyBridge founder Anthony Scaramucci stated that the current Bitcoin bear market can be explained by the four-year cycle theory and long-term holders selling at the psychological price level of $100,000. He pointed out that while the inflow of institutional investors and Bitcoin ETFs has made the four-year cycle "milder," it has not completely eliminated this traditional cycle, and the collective belief of market participants can create a self-fulfilling prophecy.He predicts that Bitcoin will exhibit a volatile trend for most of 2026, with a rise beginning in the fourth quarter as part of a new bull market cycle. Scaramucci mentioned that market participants, including himself, had generally expected Bitcoin to rise to $150,000 by 2025, driven by the pro-crypto agenda of the Trump administration and a warming regulatory environment, but the market crash in October completely shattered this consensus.He used the example of Bitcoin's performance in early 2023 following the FTX collapse in November 2022 to illustrate that the market often moves in the opposite direction of mainstream sentiment, with bull markets typically starting during periods of "extreme apathy and lack of interest." The current bear market is considered a "normal" adjustment consistent with past corrections.

According to Jinshi News, Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities, stated that the Federal Reserve is behaving very cautiously, and interest rate cuts may have to wait until the fourth quarter, depending on the trend of energy prices. If energy prices remain at current levels, it will mean a higher inflation rate, with economic growth potentially below 1%, while the inflation rate will also be higher, creating a stagflation situation.
