According to CryptoNews, Bitcoin's recovery in April 2026 shows signs of structural accumulation. Despite sharp declines in February and March, the market closed at around $76,300 at the end of April, up approximately 11-12%. This recovery is not a short-term squeeze but is based on institutional confidence and improvements in market structure. Every major price change in April was closely linked to tensions between the United States and Iran, especially the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. The two-week ceasefire agreement reached on April 7 triggered a rapid market rebound, with Bitcoin breaking through $73,000 and ETF inflows hitting a single-day record $470 million. Although tensions resurfaced afterward, the market's response to unresolved tensions gradually weakened. In April, Bitcoin ETFs saw significant net inflows for three consecutive weeks, with strategy firms purchasing 34,164 Bitcoins at an average price of $74,395 during this period, bringing their total holdings to 815,061. The overall crypto market capitalization expanded from $2.31 trillion to $2.60 trillion, an increase of 12.5%.

According to Bijie.com and the Iranian Tasnim News Agency, Iran is negotiating with the United States to unfreeze its $24 billion frozen funds. Iran insists that half of the funds must be accessed as soon as the agreement is announced, with the remainder transferred within 60 days. Sources say Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf's visit to Qatar is aimed at reaching a consensus on how to secure the first $12 billion funding while avoiding problems encountered in previous agreements. Sources say the talks in Doha were "generally good" and promoted progress in broader negotiations with the U.S., but also cautioned that Iran still regards the U.S. as "the untrustworthy party."

BlockBeats reported on May 26 that analyst Murphy stated that by using the on-chain metric of "short-term capital activity weight" (i.e., the proportion of USD value carried by short-term chip turnover), the current BTC market state can be observed. This indicator reflects the latest short-term trading behaviors such as speculation, arbitrage, profit-taking, or panic selling. Currently, this weight has dropped to a historically low level, and in the past 15 years has only appeared at the bottom of a bear market, indicating a sharp cooling of short-term turnover, with economic value accumulating in long-term chips, and the market entering a stage of low volatility, accumulation, or clear bottoming characteristics. Based on this, analysts believe the current market may be in one of three phases: the bear market bottom; the next bottom, and possibly one last drop; Gathering momentum before the bull market begins. However, rational judgment can temporarily rule out the possibility of building momentum before the bull market. Currently, it is not recommended to go all out in a single scenario; instead, a diversified strategy is suggested to handle different outcomes. The relative position of the long-term general trend already indicates that Bitcoin is near the bottom.

BlockBeats reports that on May 26, Bitcoin's expected volatility dropped sharply to a nine-month low. The Bitcoin VIX Index (reflecting the 30-day expected volatility based on option prices) fell to 36.11, the lowest since last September and near the lowest point since 2023. Sluggish trading activity combined with speculative funds shifting from Bitcoin to other assets has weakened demand for option protection. Bitcoin's price has also fallen back to near the lows seen since September last year. The overall crypto market is showing a "breather" phase, market sentiment is relatively calm, and short-term volatility is expected to remain low.

BlockBeats reported on May 26 that according to Reuters, Isabel Schnabel, a European Central Bank Governing Council member and a potential candidate for ECB president, stated that even if the U.S.-Iran peace talks yield results, the ECB should still start raising interest rates in June. She believes the current energy shock has lasted far longer than expected, with damaged energy infrastructure and supply chain disruptions already pushing high energy prices into broader economic sectors. Schnabel pointed out that eurozone inflation has risen to 3%, and further upside risks remain. Within the ECB, concerns over high energy costs are driving up prices for goods and services through a 'second effect,' creating more stubborn inflationary pressures. She emphasized that the ECB's previous benchmark forecast already includes two rate hikes, and a single action may not be enough to achieve the inflation control target. The market has now largely priced in the ECB's expectations for two next rate hikes, and estimates about a 50% chance of a third rate hike in the coming year. However, the ECB will not make early commitments to the next path and will continue to dynamically adjust policy based on data from each meeting. At the same time, Schnabel warned that persistently high energy prices could also weaken Eurozone economic growth below expectations, creating pressure from both slowing growth and rising inflation.
