ChainCatcher news, according to the official announcement, the TRON Nile testnet has been upgraded to the GreatVoyage-v4.8.0 (Kant) pre-release version. This is a mandatory upgrade that will introduce several important updates and governance proposals: including migrating all Math operations to StrictMath to enhance node compatibility, strengthening consensus layer transaction verification to improve transaction processing consistency and stability, and adding multiple TVM instructions to be compatible with the EVM's Cancun upgrade, among others.The official particularly reminds that if you have set up a Nile testnet node, you need to upgrade the node version as soon as possible. It is important to note that the proposals added in Nile testnet GreatVoyage - v4.8.0 will only take effect after voting, and these new features being effective in the Nile testnet does not mean they will also be effective in the mainnet.

ChainCatcher news, according to analysis by IntoTheBlock, on-chain data indicates that there is a significant support area for Ethereum (ETH) below $1900, with approximately 3.56 million ETH purchased between $1843 and $1900.This large-scale accumulation suggests that this price range has strong support. However, if the ETH price falls below this range, the market may face the risk of capital outflow, as demand outside of this level is noticeably weaker.

ChainCatcher news, according to Crypto In America, Canadian Bitcoin mining company Bitfarms announced the successful completion of a full stock acquisition of Stronghold Digital Mining, with a transaction value of over $110 million, making it the largest merger and acquisition case between two publicly listed Bitcoin mining companies.This acquisition will increase Bitfarms' share of the North American energy market from 6% to 80%, significantly enhancing its presence in the U.S. PJM grid.It is noteworthy that the world's second-largest Bitcoin mining company, Riot Platforms, previously attempted a hostile takeover of Bitfarms, which ultimately failed, and chose to hold a 20% stake in Bitfarms.

ChainCatcher news, analyst Timothy Peterson pointed out in a new chart report that Bitcoin is about to enter the traditionally strong months—April and October, forming the "golden window period." If historical seasonal patterns repeat, Bitcoin is expected to surge to $126,000 before June 1, representing an increase of over 50% from the current price of $82,967.He stated that Bitcoin's current price is close to the lower limit of its historical seasonal volatility range, and emphasized in his chart analysis that "the average duration of Bitcoin being below the trend line is only 4 months. The red dashed trend line points to the June 1 target of $126,000, which highly aligns with the explosive rhythm after historical bull market corrections. Data shows that since 2023, the current cycle has experienced five corrections of over 20%, but each correction has been followed by stronger rallies. The bull market is not over; it is currently just a short-term pullback."Market observers generally believe that Bitcoin's correlation with traditional financial assets has strengthened, and in the short term, it may be influenced by fluctuations in the U.S. stock market. However, its unique deflationary attributes and geopolitical safe-haven demand will likely lead it to perform independently before June.

ChainCatcher news reports that on social media, on-chain data analyst Murphy published statistics stating that the cost basis for ETH accumulated from January to February 2025 is roughly between $3,200 and $3,500. A cluster of addresses has been intensively accumulating at $3,475, totaling 1.66 million ETH. This group did not sell during the drop of ETH to $1,900 and instead added to their positions, currently holding 1.94 million ETH with a reduced cost basis of $3,150.Additionally, the cost basis for the chips accumulated in mid-February 2025 is approximately between $2,600 and $2,800. This group started to cut losses as the ETH price fell below $2,300, and currently, only the chips at $2,800 and $2,630 remain unchanged, holding 1 million and 850,000 ETH respectively.As the price of the coin continues to decline, new demand for ETH has gradually weakened, especially after the price fell below $2,000, where data shows there is almost no new purchasing power.Murphy explains that the high-position trapped chips, after a series of self-rescue replenishments, now seem to have exhausted their purchasing power; the current price of $1,850 is the cost price for large holders who accumulated two years ago. When the price drops to this level, they start to replenish (buying back parts sold at high positions to average down costs), thus forming a support effect. If this price level cannot provide support, the decline may reach $1,600 and $1,250, which are the "remaining support levels from three years ago's accumulation."From the overall behavior of current investors, the most important factor is still the reconstruction of consensus on ETH's value. If an effective consensus cannot be formed, the currently trapped chips at high positions of $2,630 (850,000), $2,800 (1 million), and $3,150 (1.945 million) will all become significant obstacles on the path to recovery.

ChainCatcher news, Real Vision crypto analyst Jamie Coutts stated that a weaker dollar could drive Bitcoin stronger, but there are two key indicators that may raise concerns in the short term. "Although my framework is becoming bullish with the dollar plummeting, two indicators still raise alarms: the U.S. Treasury volatility (MOVE index) and corporate bond spreads."Coutts described Bitcoin as a "game" between central banks, and despite these concerning indicators, the overall outlook remains "cautiously bullish."The MOVE index is a measure of expected volatility in the U.S. Treasury market. Coutts noted that while the MOVE index remains stable, it is on an upward trend. Rising Treasury volatility could lead to further tightening of liquidity, while corporate bond spreads have widened for three consecutive weeks. A significant reversal in corporate bond spreads typically coincides with Bitcoin price peaks.Coutts concluded that overall, these indicators pose a negative signal for Bitcoin. "However, the depreciation of the dollar—one of the largest monthly depreciations in the past 12 years—remains the main driving force in my framework."
