    CryptoSlate - 18:00 Apr 02, 2026
    A recent paper by the Bitcoin Policy Institute on Taiwan opens with a familiar argument that the country's reserves are overconcentrated in dollars.

    The CLARITY Act entered Washington as a bid to impose a durable market structure on crypto.

  • Bitcoin breaks critical support as dollar and oil move together, raising risk of a deeper drop
    CryptoSlate - 12:40 Apr 02, 2026
    Bitcoin spent the past 24 hours returning to the key levels on my channel map rather than continuing its breakout. It tested a boundary, failed to convert that test into acceptance, and rotated lower into the next pocket of support memory. Bitcoin price slid from the upper $68,000s and low $69,000s to around $66,400 by […] The post Bitcoin breaks critical support as dollar and oil move together, raising risk of a deeper drop appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Bitcoin breaks from M2 money supply as dollar strength overrides global cash growth
    CryptoSlate - 15:15 Apr 01, 2026
    Bitcoin is no longer responding to rising global liquidity the way it did in the last cycle. Even as money supply expands, a stronger dollar is tightening financial conditions faster than liquidity can lift prices.
