Bitcoin Monthly Chart Is Forming a Pattern Traders Are Watching Closely



 Bitcoin's monthly chart is printing a formation that technical traders call a Morning Star, and the current price near $76,555 sits right in the middle of where this setup is developing.

The pattern spans three monthly candles. February closed as a wide bearish candle, part of a broader decline from the $117,500 highs seen in late 2025. March printed a smaller, indecisive candle with a tighter body, showing neither buyers nor sellers fully in control. April is now the third candle, and where it closes at month-end will determine whether the full pattern confirms.

Chart analyst Ali Charts flagged this setup on X with the Morning Star labeled directly on the monthly BTC chart. His read is that seller exhaustion is the core message of the pattern, and that buyers are beginning to reassert control at these levels.

But he also added something most bullish takes leave out. Price data shows that after a Morning Star signal, Bitcoin has historically pulled back around 8% on average before the actual rally begins. At current levels, that points to a potential dip toward $70,000 before any sustained upside. That is the part worth understanding before acting on the signal.

The chart shows a clear multi-month downtrend leading into this setup, which is exactly the condition the pattern requires to carry meaningful weight. A Morning Star forming after a prolonged decline reads differently than one that appears during sideways price action.

The pattern is unconfirmed. April is still open. But the shape forming on the monthly timeframe is drawing attention for a reason. Higher timeframe patterns take longer to develop and longer to play out, but when they confirm, the moves that follow tend to be more sustained than anything a daily chart produces.

For the full breakdown of the chart, the technical criteria the April close needs to meet, and what the 8% pullback data means for how this sets up, the complete analysis is live at CryptoNewsLive.org.

April close will tell the full story. Do not miss it.

Ripple Is Building XRPL's Defense Against Quantum Computing, and the Clock Is Already Running

Image
  Ripple has released a detailed plan to protect the XRP Ledger from quantum computing threats, and the timeline it has set is not aspirational. The target is full post-quantum cryptography readiness by 2028, with active work already underway in 2026. The roadmap runs four phases. The first is an emergency contingency for a scenario where quantum computers break classical cryptography ahead of schedule. Ripple calls this Q-Day readiness. In that scenario, the XRP Ledger would enforce a hard network shift, stopping classical public-key signatures and requiring users to migrate to quantum-safe accounts. The second and third phases cover 2026. Testing begins on NIST-recommended post-quantum algorithms under real XRPL workload conditions. Performance, storage, and bandwidth costs all get measured. Then hybrid deployment begins on Devnet, running quantum-resistant signatures alongside existing ones before anything touches the live network. Project Eleven, an organization working on cr...

Hoskinson Just Said Everything Nobody Else Will Say About Crypto in 2026

Image
  Charles Hoskinson spent over an hour on the O Show with host Wendo in April 2026 and covered ground that most crypto founders avoid in public interviews. The Midnight Network mainnet went live on March 31 with nine institutional node operators including Google Cloud, MoneyGram, Worldpay, Telegram, Vodafone's Pairpoint, eToro, Bullish, Blockdaemon, and Shielded Technologies. That alone is a headline. But it was not the most important thing he said. The AI agent argument is where this interview breaks from the usual. His position is that zero-knowledge proofs are not primarily a privacy feature. They are the only mechanism by which AI agents can verify each other's behavior. When an autonomous agent is managing your funds across multiple blockchains while you sleep, it needs mathematical proof infrastructure underneath it to constrain what it can do, protect your data without exposing it, and settle value in real time without a middleman. Midnight is being built for that future...

: KelpDAO's $292M Bridge Hack Just Broke Aave and Locked Real Lenders Out

Image
  On April 18, 2026, a single forged message on a cross-chain bridge became 2026's largest DeFi exploit. Someone called the lzReceive function on LayerZero's EndpointV2 contract, tricked KelpDAO's bridge into accepting it as a legitimate transfer, and walked away with 116,500 rsETH worth $292 million. That was 18% of rsETH's entire circulating supply, minted on Ethereum mainnet with nothing backing it. The attacker did not stop at the theft. The stolen rsETH went straight into Aave V3 as collateral, and against it, the attacker borrowed approximately $236 million in wrapped ETH. Real funds, borrowed against tokens that had just been fraudulently minted. Aave was left with roughly $280 million in bad debt, frozen rsETH markets on both V3 and V4, and an ETH utilization rate that hit 100%. That last number matters more than it sounds. When ETH utilization on Aave reaches 100%, lenders cannot withdraw. Real WETH suppliers, people who had deposited ETH into Aave's len...
