Bitcoin below $68k is the danger zone. Apart from technical levels, option markets have extensive negative gamma built up here. Short Put dealers face losses in this region & will hedge this loss by shorting themselves. This creates a feedback loop where lower prices… pic.twitter.com/1b8TmJrcdq— Nic (@nicrypto) April 7, 2026 At the level highlighted by the expert, short put option sellers incur losses. To mitigate risks, they will start opening new short positions. This will create a "vicious circle": the fall in Bitcoin will require additional protective actions, further exacerbating the decline. In the past 24 hours, the price of digital gold has dropped by nearly 2%, failing to hold above $70,000. At the time of writing, the asset is trading around $68,300. According to Pakrin, if the current level is lost, Bitcoin's price risks falling to a potential bottom near $60,000. Hourly chart BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. Risks of Decline Analysts at Bitfinex additionally noted the accumulation of downside risk in the derivatives market. Traders are increasingly betting on a sharper drop in the leading cryptocurrency. A negative gamma environment below $68,000 means any move lower accelerates.Put open interest is concentrated between $55,000 and $68,000.Bitcoin prices are stable, but the market is fragile.Bitfinex Alpha 199 explains what breaks the range. pic.twitter.com/46Y1Gt5C5O— Bitfinex (@bitfinex) April 6, 2026 Implied volatility in options remains in the 48-55% range, while actual price movements remain restrained. This gap indicates that investors are pricing in a high likelihood of future fluctuations, which have yet to materialize. Experts also identified the negative gamma zone below $68,000 as a key factor. In this area, market makers who sold protection against declines may begin to liquidate Bitcoin holdings to hedge their positions as the price falls. This could turn a gradual correction into a crash. Stability Without Foundation Analysts describe the current sideways movement of the leading cryptocurrency as a "fragile equilibrium": weakening spot demand and declining activity are keeping prices afloat on a thinning buyer base. Crypto treasuries — once a steady source of purchases — have significantly reduced their involvement. Strategy continues to accumulate, but other players (including MARA) have stepped aside or even sold some positions. The market has become increasingly dependent on a small number of participants rather than broad-based accumulation. Meanwhile, a large portion of the supply is concentrated above current prices — especially around $74,000. Investors who bought at higher levels are eager to exit on rebounds, limiting growth and strengthening resistance, Bitfinex concluded. In April, Bloomberg Intelligence senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone predicted a Bitcoin crash to $10,000 if the $75,000 level is lost.

Artificial intelligence will transform the banking sector, the labor market, and specific sectors of the global economy. This was stated by JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon in his annual letter to shareholders. He believes that the technology will impact nearly all aspects of the bank's operations and business processes—from customer service to internal systems. In the long term, this will have a "tremendously positive impact on productivity." "The pace of adoption will be much faster than previous technological transformations, such as electricity or the internet," the entrepreneur noted. Dimon highly praised the potential long-term impact of artificial intelligence on the labor sector, scientific research, and the overall quality of life in developed countries. "I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say: AI, among other positive outcomes, will help cure some types of cancer, create new composite materials, and reduce the number of deaths from accidents," said the head of one of the largest banks. As for the risks of the technology, Dimon mentioned deepfakes, the spread of disinformation, and cybersecurity threats. "But these can be managed if companies, regulators, and governments are prepared. The right approach requires careful preparation in advance, honest assessment, and discipline to fix what is broken without destroying what works," the expert stated. Investments and Unemployment Dimon's letter comes amid JPMorgan's increased investments in the artificial intelligence sector. In February, the bank announced its intention to spend $19.8 billion on the technology. This figure represents a sharp increase in the financial giant's expenditures compared to 2025. In October, Dimon reported that the financial institution spends about $2 billion on AI initiatives. In the letter, the entrepreneur addressed the issue of job losses due to large language models. According to him, the technology will change the labor market as companies implement automation in an increasing number of tasks. "AI will lead to the disappearance of some jobs, while others will become more efficient. Our company will have clear plans to support and redeploy affected employees," Dimon wrote. Concerns about job cuts are heightened by the growing capabilities of AI. In January, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that the rapid development of neural networks could outpace the ability of labor markets and social institutions to adapt to changes. Transformations will occur within "a few years, not decades," the expert believes. He confirmed a previously stated forecast that AGI will emerge by 2026 or 2027. OpenAI's Plan OpenAI published a document Industrial Policy for the Intelligence Age: Ideas to Keep People First, proposing steps for the era of advanced AI. The company states that the technology is moving from systems with narrow applications to a broader range of tasks, and in the future—to "superintelligence." The benefits could be enormous: increased productivity, cheaper goods, and accelerated science and medicine. However, without new policies, risks of wealth concentration, job losses, abuses, and weakening of democratic control will rise. The document's authors believe that the transition to powerful AI will require new industrial policies, where the state, business, and institutions will expand access to the technology while simultaneously reducing risks. Among the proposals: give workers a voice in how AI is implemented in workplaces; help people turn professional expertise into new companies; ensure broad access to foundational models so that schools, libraries, small businesses, and poor communities are not cut off from opportunities; transform the tax base—rely more on capital levies, corporate income, and introduce forms of taxation related to labor automation; create a public wealth fund that would give every citizen a share in the growth generated by artificial intelligence; accelerate the construction of power grids and other infrastructure for AI; implement a four-day workweek without loss of pay and larger pension contributions; make the social support system more adaptive: monitor the impact of technology on employment, wages, and job quality and include temporary support measures—expanded benefits, cash payments, training vouchers. OpenAI believes that as automation increases, the importance of areas where human contact is especially crucial will grow: education, healthcare, and others. The company suggests developing these as a direction for labor transition for those displaced by AI. Back in December 2025, a Nobel laureate predicted a wave of unemployment due to AI. https://forklog.com/news/ai/mnenie-krizis-rabochih-mest-iz-za-ii-uzhe-nastupil

On April 8th, a group of Bitcoin Core developers will demonstrate "attacking blocks" of the leading cryptocurrency on the Signet testnet. These specially designed blockchain units require significantly more time for validation. Purpose of the Demonstration The primary aim is to highlight the seriousness of four consensus vulnerabilities. The Great Consensus Cleanup, through BIP-54, seeks to address these issues. This Bitcoin improvement proposal suggests a batch soft fork to clean up the consensus of the leading cryptocurrency network. A major update will address several protocol weaknesses: Fixing the "time warp" attack. An old vulnerability allows miners with significant hashrate to manipulate block timestamps, artificially lowering mining difficulty. BIP-54 will resolve this issue with new rules for the timestamps of the first and last blocks of each difficulty adjustment period. Limiting the most computationally intensive transactions. Some specially crafted operations can take a long time to verify — from several minutes to an hour on weak hardware. This increases the load on nodes and provides miners with a tool to pressure competitors. BIP-54 introduces a limit on the number of potentially executable signature operations in a single transaction. If there are too many, the transaction is deemed invalid. Eliminating the issue of 64-byte transactions in the Merkle tree. An operation exactly 64 bytes in size creates ambiguity in the Merkle tree: it can be interpreted as both a leaf and an internal node. This weakens the proof of inclusion and makes the Merkle root ambiguous. After BIP-54 activation, transactions exactly 64 bytes in size will be invalid. Eliminating the need for the outdated BIP-30 check. This is an old protection against duplicate TxIDs. After BIP-34 activation, this check is rarely needed, but historically it has to be maintained in the consensus. BIP-54 requires new Coinbase transactions to be distinct, allowing the old check to be finally removed. The Plan The experts do not intend to showcase the worst-case attack scenario. They will conceal script and transaction details to avoid providing additional information to potential attackers. Users will be shown blocks whose verification requires significantly more resources than usual. The event will commence at 10:00 EST (14:00 UTC). Anyone interested can run a Bitcoin Core node on Signet (which takes about 32-33 GB) and observe the mining and processing of blocks. Developers have also prepared a patch for visualizing suspicious units through the bitcoin-tui terminal interface (supported by developer AJ Towns). It allows real-time tracking of block processing in the Slow Blocks tab. However, the experts emphasized that the patch was made quickly and has not undergone a full audit. For security, participants are advised to use new nodes without funds on the device. Earlier in April, UTXOracle creator Steve Jeffress discovered that about 99% of Taproot transactions on the Bitcoin network turned out to be "dust."
