On April 19th, according to Cointelegraph, Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin whales are still in a strong accumulation area. The large holders (whales and sharks) currently holding 100-1000 or more Bitcoins are absorbing Bitcoin at the fastest rate in history, with the current absorption of this group exceeding 300% of the annual Bitcoin issuance. At the same time, the amount of Bitcoin held by exchanges continues to decline, with an annual absorption rate of -200%, indicating that investors are more inclined to hold long-term or self-custody. In addition, addresses holding over 10,000 BTC have an accumulation trend score of about 0.7, indicating that they are still in a strong accumulation state. Technical analysis shows that Bitcoin has broken out of a multi-month descending wedge pattern, and if the current trend continues, the price may break $100,000 in May. $88,800 is a key resistance level to reverse the market structure, and if the bulls fail to break through, they may not be able to maintain their strong momentum.

Anthony Pompliano emphasized that he is not a fan of the Federal Reserve, and previously he had said that Bitcoin holders were one of the earliest large groups to recognize problems in U.S. economic data, and through holding coins and other means, they seized financial opportunities for upward potential.

On April 19th, Sun Yuchen posted on X platform, saying: "David Geffen is attacking me personally. No matter how he defames my reputation, 'Le Nez' is my legal property, and I am fully confident in getting it back."

Earlier reports stated that Sun Yuchen had sued billionaire collector David Geffen, demanding the return of Alberto Giacometti's sculpture "Le Nez," claiming that a rogue art advisor sold the piece to David Geffen through a carefully planned scheme involving forged signatures and fictitious lawyers.

Sun Yuchen purchased "Le Nez" at Sotheby's in 2021 for $78.4 million, alleging that his former advisor Xiong Zihan Sydney orchestrated the deal without his consent, falsified documents, and even impersonated a lawyer through email to facilitate the transaction. Now Sun Yuchen wants his sculpture back, "or substantial compensation." David Geffen's lawyer Tibor L. Nagy stated that the lawsuit is "absurd and baseless," suggesting that Sun Yuchen simply regrets the transaction. The complaint does not include any allegations that Geffen had any connection or relationship with Xiong. "The deal was made through intermediaries," Nagy said, "If a year later Sun Yuchen is dissatisfied with the deal made by the intermediary for him, there is no reason to claim against David Geffen."
