Software engineer Jake Nesler developed a trading AI agent using Claude from Anthropic. The bot mimics the creator's trading style, analyzes risks, and independently determines position sizes, according to Bloomberg. During a month of testing, the agent achieved a 7% return, compared to 4.5% for the S&P; 500 over the same period. In the first week, the algorithm avoided buying Nvidia shares at their peak, saving the owner from a $10,000 loss. However, the strategy's volatility was high, with drawdowns reaching 22%. Nesler trained the model for two weeks using the Alpaca platform. Initially, Claude was overly conservative, selecting only blue-chip stocks. The developer had to manually adjust settings to encourage the AI to make riskier trades. The popularity of AI agents among retail traders continues to grow. Tools like OpenClaw allow users to manage bots via Telegram or WhatsApp. Major platforms such as OKX, Bybit, and Kraken have already implemented interfaces to simplify working with automated systems. Not So Straightforward Experts warn of the risks. According to Jay Malavia, co-founder of the Kairos terminal, profitable algorithms rarely become publicly available, and fake performance screenshots are often circulated on social media, typically to promote malicious software. Nesler himself is not yet ready to entrust the bot with real assets. In prediction market experiments, his agent quickly lost the entire deposit. He compared the state of AI trading to slot machines, where outcomes are largely determined by luck. In April, Anthropic introduced an experimental product, Claude Design, an AI-based design generation tool.

According to CryptoQuant analysts, April's rally of the leading cryptocurrency from $66,000 to $79,000 was driven by perpetual futures, while spot demand remained negative. Perp demand is rising. Spot demand is still contracting.That exact setup appeared in 2022 and preceded the next leg down.It doesn’t guarantee the same outcome, but structurally, this is a bearish demand signal. pic.twitter.com/jE1Ld6koaZ— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) April 30, 2026 They noted that the divergence between price growth and declining spot interest indicates a speculative nature of the movement. The Apparent Demand metric remained below zero throughout the month, indicating a lack of organic buyer support. Experts compared the current demand structure to the beginning of the 2022 bear phase: back then, growth in derivatives volumes was also accompanied by a contraction in spot activity, after which Bitcoin entered a multi-month correction. The digital gold's price has already retreated from a local high of around $79,000 to approximately $77,000. By the end of April, the asset had risen nearly 12%—the best performance since the start of the year, according to CoinGlass. Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView.  Specialists called this a predictable outcome of a rally primarily based on futures. An additional signal was CryptoQuant's Bull Score, which dropped from 50 to 40, falling back below the neutral mark into the "bearish zone." Key Level for Short-Term Holders CryptoQuant analyst Ignacio Moreno de Vicente specifically pointed to the STH MVRV indicator, which reflects the position of short-term Bitcoin holders. Bitcoin Is Close to Flipping the Market Structure“A sustained reclaim of the Realized Price, paired with the MVRV stabilizing and trending above 1.0, would signal a structural regime change.” – By @MorenoDV_ pic.twitter.com/AsxsyFEyzi— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) May 1, 2026 According to him, in the current cycle, the indicator forms a descending resistance line connecting three peaks: March 2024 — Bitcoin reached $72,000; November 2024 — price rose to $106,000; July 2025 — the asset hit a new high of around $120,000. In all these cases, the price reached historical highs, but STH MVRV showed lower peaks. This is a sign of weakening momentum among short-term holders, despite rising prices. The market is now approaching a crucial test of this structure, the expert noted. If Bitcoin consolidates above the realized price of short-term holders, this group will move from loss to profit. According to Moreno de Vicente, a sustained recovery along with STH MVRV stabilizing above 1.0 could signal a market regime change—recent buyers would then stop pressuring the price at every rebound. Ethereum and the Risk of a Short Squeeze Similar tension in the derivatives market is observed with Ethereum, but the structure looks different.

ETH recorded a correction of around 65% from its last peak. TOTAL2, which represents the total market cap of altcoins… pic.twitter.com/7NkZo5XkNf— Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc) May 1, 2026 From the February low, the asset has recovered more than 30%. However, many participants still do not believe in the recovery and continue to open short positions, the specialist emphasized. According to him, funding rates for Ethereum on Binance have remained negative for a long time. This was only observed during the FTX collapse and the bottom of the last bear market in November 2022. The average monthly funding is currently -0.0018. Darkfost believes this reflects a persistent consensus among traders betting on further decline. “This is a risky bet, and some are already paying the price—as indicated by the growing volume of short position liquidations. As ETH's upward momentum strengthens, shorts are increasingly squeezed out. This dynamic could fuel Ethereum's recovery: cascading liquidations are mounting. Markets rarely reward such unanimous opinion,” he concluded. At the time of writing, the leading altcoin is trading around $2280. Over the past day, its price has risen by 0.8%, according to CoinGecko. On April 30, Glassnode experts noted a weakening of selling pressure from Bitcoin sellers.

Bithumb gained temporary relief after a court halted sanctions imposed over compliance failures.

The omnichain token USDT0, backed by the stablecoin USDT at a 1:1 ratio, is primarily popular among retail users. According to a report by Everdawn Labs for The Block, 99.2% of users hold less than $1,000 in their wallets. Balances ranging from $100,000 to $1 million are held by 1,200 users, while only 35 addresses hold over $10 million. Developers believe this audience structure indicates genuine demand from ordinary people, not just institutions. USDT0 was launched at the beginning of 2025 with the support of LayerZero and Tether. The protocol operates across 23 blockchains, including the Tempo network by Stripe. The total trading volume to date has reached $86.7 billion. In terms of USDT held, the protocol ranks third after the Binance and OKX exchanges. Use Cases Users primarily employ the token in the DeFi sector. In April, the trading volume of derivatives using USDT0 reached $80 million. The token is also used for moving capital between networks. Data from the cross-chain gateway confirms retail dominance: the median transfer amount is $902, while the average is about $90,000. Transactions exceeding $1 million account for only 1.8% of the total number, yet they constitute 68.8% of the overall volume. USDT0 has changed hands nearly 22 times with a supply volume of $4 billion. Project co-founder Lorenzo Romagnoli stated that in 2026, the team will focus on integrating with new ecosystems and simplifying gateways for deposits and withdrawals. The project does not claim revenue from Tether's reserves. According to Romagnoli, the main goal of USDT0 is to unify liquidity and eliminate market barriers. The team covers operational expenses through partnerships with blockchains. Back in April, Tether's investment division proposed merging three companies to create a leading public entity in the Bitcoin industry.
