#布伦特原油持续走强 Monday's opening surged by 7%! The Strait of Hormuz is again blocked, and oil prices have returned to the "hundred-dollar era" again?
The "powder keg" of geopolitical tensions has exploded the Monday crude oil market.
On Monday (April 20), during the Asian early trading session, international oil prices surged sharply! Driven by the rapid escalation of the US-Iran conflict over the weekend, WTI crude and Brent crude jumped by about 7% right at the open. WTI briefly broke above $89 per barrel, and Brent pushed toward the $97 mark. The market’s nerves, which had just started to settl

#美伊冲突再起引发市场动荡 BTC drops below 74,000 and quickly rebounds. What's next?
Around 8:00 this morning, BTC continued its correction trend, breaking below the $74,000 level, with a low of approximately $73,717. It’s worth noting that this level has previously been an important phase high and low point, and the 10-day moving average also lies in this area, providing strong technical support. The subsequent movement confirmed this: the price quickly rebounded, reaching about $74,700 by 9:55.
In the short term, it’s not easy to effectively break below 74,000. So, how might BTC develop next?

As of Sunday night, April 19, 2026, 21:00, based on the information conveyed by the market, from Friday evening to now, the US-Iran situation has experienced a dramatic reversal: brief opening → rapid re-lockdown → extreme confrontation: Iran using the Strait as leverage, the US applying pressure through blockade + military + zero compensation, with key speeches completely opposing and no compromise, the next decisive point is the ceasefire expiration on April 22

#Gate13周年现场直击 One night of liquidation for 190k people, is there still hope for the crypto world?
Last night and this morning, the cryptocurrency market experienced a "small earthquake." Bitcoin briefly fell below $75k, Ethereum dropped to around $2,300, with over $300 million in liquidation across the entire network in 24 hours, and more than 190k investor accounts went to zero. The fear and greed index is firmly stuck in the "extreme fear" zone.

#美伊局势和谈与增兵博弈 The Strait of Hormuz has become a tool for Trump and Iran to profit financially, with signals being frequently released within just a few hours of opening and closing, which has also caused unforeseen disasters in the crypto world. Yesterday, Bitcoin briefly surged to the 76,000 level, but the subsequent decline was very rapid, leaving many friends unable to exit the market in time.
Military news impacts are extremely uncontrollable, not only due to the blockade of the strait but also because Trump warned Iran again last night that failure to accept the treaty could trigger anot

#Gate13周年现场直击 Bitcoin’s Future Trend Analysis: $73,724 Becomes a Critical Threshold, Latest Institutional Views Released
Currently, Bitcoin has officially fallen below the $74,000 mark and is in a crucial period of sideways consolidation and adjustment. The 24-hour low of $73,724.31 has become a new short-term support level, and whether it holds or breaks will directly determine the subsequent trend. Based on the latest institutional views and market structure, the outlook is mainly divided into two possible scenarios:
Optimistic scenario: Hold at $73,724, rebound amid range-bound movement

#美伊局势和谈与增兵博弈 In-Depth Analysis: Why Iran's Refusal to Negotiate Could Trigger a Bitcoin Crash?
Many people are puzzled: how does the direction of US-Iran negotiations directly affect Bitcoin prices? The core logic lies in the transmission of "geopolitical situation → risk aversion sentiment → capital flow," combined with the market pressure of Bitcoin itself, ultimately leading to the recent dip below $74,000. This can be broken down into three main aspects:
1. Geopolitical escalation triggers risk aversion sentiment, with high-risk assets bearing the brunt. Cryptocurrencies are inherently

#Gate13年我最想说 Thirteen years, in the crypto world, is a long journey spanning multiple cycles.
I still remember the nervousness when I first entered this market seven years ago. Back then, the choices of exchanges were far fewer than today, and every deposit and trade carried a sense of testing the waters. Gate has quietly accompanied me through it all, from the frenzy of bull markets to the silence of bear markets, from DeFi Summer to the NFT craze, and now to the era of AI and memes.
Thirteen years, Gate has grown from a startup platform into an industry veteran serving hundreds of milli

#Gate13周年现场直击 Has the Bitcoin bear market bottomed out?
Recently, Bitcoin rebounded to 78k, and some are starting to turn bullish. Looking only at short-term trends, it seems like a bottom is being formed, but in fact, this is a bull trap. If every rise is seen as the start of a bull market and every fall as a bear market, it’s hard to make money.
Why is 60k not the bottom? The reason lies in the lack of time and space.
From a time perspective, historical bear markets last about a year. If this drop ends in half a year, it doesn’t align with past patterns.
From a space perspective, this

It's not about who is buying, but "why are they buying now," understanding this point reveals how far the market can go.

As of this afternoon, due to rising uncertainty in the Middle East situation, the cryptocurrency market has plummeted across the board. Bitcoin has fallen from the high of 78,200 and is now back below the $75,000 mark, dropping as low as $74,950.

#周末交易计划 Who is quietly building momentum?
Some coins haven’t moved up—it's not weakness; they’re just waiting.
The longer they stay range-bound, the more violently they move once they break.
The real opportunity often appears where “no one is talking.”
Recently, I’m paying more attention in my watchlist to these categories:
Chainlink
Long-term range-bound consolidation, but every pullback is supported; volume is gradually expanding— a typical slow accumulation structure.
Polkadot
The price action looks very “boring,” but the lows are getting higher—this is right before a potential reversal
