1. Market Direction: BTC hits high levels then pulls back, but institutions are “buying when others sell”. The market is fierce: Yesterday, Bitcoin briefly touched the $79,000+ ceiling, then quickly dropped into the $77,000 range, currently priced at $77,308. Logic behind buying at lower levels: It’s like a flash discount—when prices fall, big players rush in. Institutional net demand growth has reached its highest level since the end of 2025, with buyers fiercely resisting the selling wave. Even Colombia’s largest pension fund is eager to join the action, indicating major players are using market swings to shake off short-term followers, demonstrating strong long-term confidence. 2. Macro Analysis: Iran’s oil inventories in crisis, geopolitical tensions become a “powder keg”. The energy death spiral: Under U.S. sanctions, Iran’s oil exports hit a wall, causing severe inventory backlog—even forcing officials to store oil in containers and abandoned tanks. Overflow effect: Extreme supply chain disruptions are essentially depleting safe-haven sentiment. Each geopolitical tremor sends crypto market volatility soaring. For traders, it’s not just about numbers anymore—it’s about watching for macro risks that could explode at any moment. 3. Track Treasure Hunt: PRL surges against the trend, funds turning to “hard assets”. Safe haven effect: While the main market stagnates, PRL soars 45.04% against the trend. Backed by a certain exchange and the AI narrative, it has become a magnet for risk-averse capital. Momentum spotlight: BLY (+26.08%) and LUNC (+21.45%) also stand out in unsettled times, showing that plenty of aggressive capital is still hunting for opportunity. Main player signals: CHZ trading volume exploded by 8 times in an instant. Volume leads price—this is a clear signal of large-scale accumulation by major players. 4. Trading Mindset: How to protect yourself during high volatility? 2% death red line: Forget belief, focus on risk management. Loss per trade must never exceed 2% of total capital. Practical strategy: Set your stop-loss first, then calculate how many tokens to buy—not just spending your remaining balance in one go. Key defense zones: Watch closely the “order wall” of $86.8 million in ETH and the $77,000 threshold in BTC. These are the last lines of defense—if they fail, it’s time to retreat. Cash is king: Keep at least 50% of your capital ready. Until the main market recovers $79,069 (average institutional entry price), observe more and act less, only participate in short-term trades on abnormal movers. Risk warning: Geopolitical situation is unpredictable, institutions buying in doesn’t mean they won’t shake out weak hands. Always use stop-loss orders; don’t be the one left holding the bag.

Jinse Finance reported on April 28 that, according to sources, OpenAI has recently failed to meet its targets for new users and revenue. The performance falling short of expectations has caused concern among some members of the management team, leading them to question whether the company can continue to bear the high costs of data center investments. Sources revealed that Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar informed management that if revenue growth remains sluggish, the company may be unable to pay for future computing power procurement contracts. The sources added that in recent months, the board of directors has stepped up its review of the company’s data center partnership projects. Against the backdrop of slowing business growth, management has also expressed doubts about CEO Sam Altman’s ongoing efforts to further expand computing power. (Sina Finance)

Gelonghui, April 28th｜Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater, the world's largest hedge fund, recently advised that due to the high uncertainty brought by the Iran war, investors should allocate 5% to 15% of their portfolios to gold. The Iran war has entered its ninth week, and the world faces various uncertainties. Dalio pointed out that one of the major global concerns is whether the United States can win this war. He also mentioned that the US is facing pressures such as rising oil prices, the upcoming peak summer travel season, and the midterm elections. In addition, there is hope to keep the conflict relatively short-term. Another key issue is who will ultimately control the Strait of Hormuz. Dalio also noted that with the recent increase in the use of RMB in international transactions, as well as US sanctions and changes in global trade, the market’s understanding of “what constitutes money” is changing. He believes it is very important to understand that gold is a form of money. It is the oldest currency and the second-largest reserve currency among central banks. He added that gold also has asset diversification functions, and in such an environment, this is especially beneficial for gold’s performance.
