Bitcoin Just Deviated From The Bearish Trend That Began In January And $86,000 Could Be Next
Bitcoin has been in a bearish trend that spilled over from 2025 into the year 2026. This has persisted from January, and throughout the first quarter of the year, the Bitcoin price has continued to decline as a result. This trend, however, seems to be nearing its end with the most recent move. According to one crypto analyst, there has been a deviation, which could end up being very important for the cryptocurrency to enter the next bull market. Bitcoin Rejection Trend Is Coming To An End Looking back at the performance of the Bitcoin price starting from January through the end of the first quarter of the year, crypto analyst CrypFlow highlights that there has been a constant bearish trend. This is characterized by the cryptocurrency encountering a rejection with each push upward, and then pushing back downward even lower.

However, with the pump at the start of the week, Bitcoin is starting to move in another direction. Instead of a rejection and then a lower move, bulls are looking to sustain the uptrend. The initial move above $69,000 saw the Bitcoin price print a higher high for the first time, suggesting a change in direction. Not only did the higher high appear, but also, there has been a change in the momentum, which suggests strength on the part of bulls. As a result, there is the fact that the Bitcoin RSI is now reclaiming its moving average, which was lost earlier in the year. In addition to this, the Stochastic RSI printed a bullish cross at the start of the month. CrypFlow points out that this is a major difference because, back in January, the momentum had failed. But this time around, the momentum is getting stronger.

This deviation might end up being what changes the narrative for the Bitcoin price this time around. “Which makes this the first real deviation from that pattern. If this holds, this could be the start of a short-term trend shift,” the analyst said. As for the Bitcoin price, the move above $69,000 is important because it is the previous cycle peak. Thus, this level could serve as a generational resistance level. Once broken with adequate momentum, it could signal a return of the bull market.

Sui and Avalanche surge as CME futures launch boosts crypto rally
The cryptocurrency market has been bullish over the past few hours, with Sui (SUI) and Avalanche (AVAX) leading the way. The two coins are up by nearly 10% over the past 24 hours, making them one of the best performers among the top performers in the market. SUI is currently trading at $0.95 per coin, up by 10% since Tuesday. The positive performance comes after the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group announced on Tuesday that it will launch SUI and AVAX futures in early May. Furthermore, the easing geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire continue to support broader crypto market sentiment, further fueling SUI’s upward momentum. CME Group to launch Sui futures in May SUI is currently in the green thanks to two macroeconomic events. Risk sentiment across markets improved following news that the US and Iran brokered a two-week ceasefire and agreed to enter negotiations on April 10. This paves the way for lasting peace in the Middle East and the resumption of Gulf oil and gas exports through the vital Strait of Hormuz. The easing of geopolitical tensions in the prolonged Middle East war supports broader crypto market sentiment, with Bitcoin, Ether, and SUI all recording healthy gains over the past 24 hours. In addition to that, CME Group announced on Tuesday that it will list SUI futures beginning May 4, providing CFTC-regulated access for institutional and large-scale investors seeking exposure to the Sui ecosystem. The announcement contributed to SUI’s rally as it brings regulated, institutional-grade access to Sui’s ecosystem for institutional investors, asset managers, and hedge funds. The launch will boost exposure, liquidity, and credibility for the token. Currently, CryptoQuant’s summary data also supports a bullish outlook for SUI’s spot and futures markets. SUI eyes $1.0 psychological level The SUI/USD 4-hour chart is bearish and efficient despite the recent rally. The coin hit the $0.9779 level earlier today but is facing rejection from the 4-hour resistance level, which coincides with its 50-day EMA. SUI has slightly dipped and is now trading just below $0.95, but could rally higher in the near term. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the 4-hour chart reads 68, indicating a growing bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line has crossed above the signal line and turned positive, suggesting buying pressure is rebuilding. If the buying pressure persists, SUI would encounter immediate resistance at $1.07. A daily candle close above this level would open the way toward the next major resistance at $1.26. However, if the 50-day EMA resistance holds, SUI could record further losses, with immediate support found at the $0.87 region. A dip below this level could expose other support areas at $0.83 and $0.79 in the near term. Currently, the market bias has switched bullish and this could see SUI and other major cryptocurrencies record gains in the near term.

Solana shuts down sandwich attack vulnerability
Solana is no longer threatened by sandwich attacks. A mix of slower token activity and more efficient transaction ordering and protection has solved the issue. Solana activity is no longer defined by sandwich attacks, and daily losses are limited. Most of the sandwich attacks happen for transactions under $1, with no significant daily losses. The main reason is the slowdown in token trading, with more deliberate DEX activity. Solana is still a leader for DEX trading, but MEV attackers have also given up on intercepting transactions. In the past month, MEV attackers only paid 5 SOL for bot activity, based on Dune Analytics data . Malicious sandwich attacks are no longer the main use of MEV techniques. Solana has evolved to use transaction ordering for better efficiency, rather than front-running token deals. As Cryptopolitan reported , Jito has been one of the main drivers in limiting Solana sandwich attacks. Solana transaction ordering still matters Solana users have still spent a significant amount of fees on Solana ordering. In 2025, the network evolved as block transaction ordering became essential. Jito is still the main hub for efficient app transactions, which shifted chain usage from sandwich attacks to other types of block space ordering. Solana has increased its safety with more efficient apps, anti-spam measures, and improved validator rules, noted Lucas Bruder, co-founder and CEO of Jito Labs. “Malicious extraction now represents a very small fraction of blockspace activity, while the majority of transaction ordering value reflects legitimate competition for inclusion and speed,” stated Bruder in an X post. Solana has also added private transaction routing, a trusted execution environment, such as Jito’s Block Assembly Marketplace, and a new proposal process that makes transactions confidential until execution. This makes predatory MEV bot strategies much harder to execute. Solana may switch to permissioned systems According to Jito’s plans, Solana may switch to new techniques for block ordering. MEV is not as efficient, as it leads to heightened competition. For instance, users paid over $1.5M in a single hour on January 20, 2025, to mint Official Trump (TRUMP) tokens. Jito can keep altering Solana block ordering, as currently nearly 90% of transactions use Jito as their main safety tool. The validator and block builder have proposed a switch to Transaction Ordering Value, a neutral priority system that still recognizes the scarcity of block space, while not allowing malicious activities. Solana block ordering also depends on infrastructure and proximity, similar to the traditional financial system when using electronic tools. Jito will keep capturing its usual fees, mostly by providing the best infrastructure for the increased Solana speed of execution. The MEV debate versus rational block ordering shows Solana has evolved in the past year and may bring a more efficient block-building structure. Otherwise, competitive and haphazard MEV usage has generated up to $720M in annual bribes to find scarce block space, but has become too expensive for the old type of sandwich attacks.
