According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin’s price broke above $73,000 on Friday, driven by U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data that came in below market expectations. The data showed that the U.S. energy index rose 10.9% in March, with gasoline prices surging 21.2% month-on-month—the largest monthly increase since 1967—and becoming the primary driver of CPI growth. Despite the sharp rise in energy prices, overall CPI was still 0.1% lower than expected. Traders are focusing on Bitcoin’s near-term resistance levels, particularly the liquidity zone around $74,000. Expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts remain low, a view already widely shared by the market.
According to on-chain analyst Ember (@EmberCN), a set of addresses holding at least 59% of NOM (Nomina)’s circulating supply transferred 23% of the token’s circulating supply (674 million NOM, valued at $3.94 million) into Binance over the past hour. NOM’s price dropped 25% today. This address set is likely the same entity that drove NOM’s price up sixfold (from $0.0017 to $0.0126) over the past half-month. On April 1, it withdrew 1.72 billion NOM from Binance across seven wallets—representing 59% of NOM’s total circulating supply (2.9 billion NOM).

The RAVE token’s price has surged by 333% over the past 24 hours. This address is clearly linked—via fund flows—to two addresses that deposited tokens into exchanges near the beginning of today’s sharp price increase. Further monitoring is required to fully understand the specific fund flows and their implications.
According to The Block, Bitcoin continued its high-range consolidation this week, holding above $72,000, influenced by developments in the Middle East and U.S. CPI inflation data. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $358 million in net inflows on April 9, while Ethereum funds attracted approximately $85 million in new capital. Analysts noted that although the Middle East ceasefire has reduced risk premiums, markets have yet to return to normal, with oil prices, interest rates, and crypto assets remaining tightly correlated. March’s CPI rose 3.3% year-on-year—slightly below expectations—with rising energy costs serving as the primary driver. Institutional investors remain cautious toward risk, and options markets suggest volatility may subside over the summer. Bitcoin’s current price action is driven by macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, and traders are awaiting further data to assess its next directional move.

BTC options’ market share has consistently exceeded 80%, with open interest concentrated in late April and late June expiries; trading activity is dominated by the current-month (late-April) expiry.

Skew continues rising, albeit modestly. Analysts note that BTC’s performance this year has been weak both in price and market热度 (heat).

According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai_9684xtpa), the RAVE token surged 232% in price over the past 24 hours.

Sam Dare, founder of Covenant AI, announced that Covenant AI has officially exited the Bittensor network. Previously, Covenant AI completed the largest decentralized LLM pretraining project in history—Covenant-72B (a 72-billion-parameter model developed by over 70 independent contributors)—which drew attention from NVIDIA’s CEO and was cited by an Anthropic co-founder. In its statement, Covenant AI accused the Bittensor network of long concentrating actual control in the hands of co-founder Jacob Steeves (“Const”), rendering the so-called “three-signature multisig governance” merely a theatrical performance of decentralization, with real power never truly distributed. Recently, Jacob Steeves unilaterally imposed punitive measures against Covenant AI, including: suspending its subnet earnings, revoking its community channel moderation privileges, unilaterally deprecating its subnet infrastructure, and exerting economic pressure via large-scale token dumping during the ongoing conflict between the two parties. Covenant AI stated it cannot continue fundraising, recruiting talent, or soliciting community resources on a network where the promise of “decentralization” can be unilaterally revoked by a single individual. Its research outcomes, team, and models will depart alongside the team, and a new project—including related progress—will be publicly announced shortly.
