On-chain data analyst Murphy stated that the change in the relationship between cost basis and price behavior is one of the best perspectives for observing BTC forming a bottom structure, and the "1-3 month short-term holder cost basis" (1-3m_RP) is the most effective reference.The formation of each round of bear bottom structures is accompanied by a gradual shift in the short-term holder cost basis (1-3m_RP, yellow line). Taking previous cycles as examples: in 2015-2016, BTC oscillated around the short-term holder cost basis for a long time after first breaking through it; in 2019-2020, BTC strongly broke through the short-term holder cost basis and then entered a small bull market; in 2022-2023, BTC broke through the short-term holder cost basis, then retested it a second time, and after gaining support, rebounded again.Since BTC broke through on April 15, it has remained above the short-term holder cost basis. However, regardless of how the trend develops next, a bottom will eventually form, and BTC will break through the yellow line and inevitably turn. Analysts believe that the important thing is not to predict the specific trend, but to prepare in advance and allocate positions reasonably. The trends from previous years are only examples and not investment advice.

The Gate Research Institute recently released the "April 2026 Cryptocurrency Market Review" report, which pointed out that the cryptocurrency market in April showed an overall upward trend, with total market capitalization significantly rising compared to March. The trading volume of BTC and ETH ETFs remained high and volatile. The report indicates that the activity levels of major public chain ecosystems continue to diverge. Solana's daily trading volume remained in the range of approximately 90 million to 110 million transactions, continuing to lead.In terms of hot sectors, the report noted that Pokemon TCG RWA has become one of the fastest-growing sub-sectors of on-chain RWA and entered a secondary explosion phase in April. Major trading platforms saw monthly trading volumes exceed 220 million USD, with weekly revenue nearing 6 million USD at one point, setting a new historical high. Meanwhile, Aave experienced the most severe liquidity shock in its history in April, with TVL outflows reaching hundreds of billions of dollars within days, and net outflows for the month exceeding 9 billion USD.Regarding financing and security incidents, the Web3 industry completed a total of 51 financing rounds in April, with a total amount of approximately 834 million USD, with funds further concentrating in leading finance and infrastructure sectors. Among them, Payward topped the monthly financing with 200 million USD. On the security front, Web3 security incidents in April resulted in losses of approximately 306 million USD, a month-on-month increase of about 858%, primarily driven by a single cross-chain infrastructure attack incident involving Kelp DAO, which amounted to about 293 million USD. The report believes that against the backdrop of a market recovery, on-chain activity and capital liquidity are improving simultaneously, but the security risks of cross-chain infrastructure and high-leverage protocols still warrant ongoing attention.

The U.S. April CPI data reached a three-year high, raising concerns in the market about the Federal Reserve's potential rate hikes. Both the U.S. stock market and bond market came under pressure, but Bitcoin performed relatively well. Data shows that the core CPI in the U.S. rose by 0.4% month-on-month in April, higher than the market expectation of 0.3%, and increased to 2.8% year-on-year; the overall CPI, which includes energy prices, rose by 3.8% year-on-year, up from the previous value of 3.3%, marking the highest inflation level since May 2023.As a result of the data, the market quickly adjusted its expectations for the Federal Reserve's policy path. CME FedWatch data shows that traders are currently betting on a probability of over 35% for at least one rate hike within 2026, whereas just a few weeks ago, the mainstream market expectation was still for a rate cut within the year. Risk assets subsequently fell, with the Nasdaq index dropping over 1.3% and U.S. Treasury yields rising in tandem. However, the cryptocurrency market showed some resilience. Bitcoin remained above $80,000 after the data was released, currently reported at around $80,500, essentially flat over the past 24 hours; Ethereum and XRP fell by about 2.5%.

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve's Goolsbee stated that the worst part of the April Consumer Price Index is the inflation in the service industry.
