As recently pointed out by renowned financial analyst Jesse Colombo, Bitcoin seems to be forming a pennant pattern just under the critical $30,000 resistance level. If BTC manages to successfully break out of this pattern and surpass the $30,000 mark with substantial trading volume, says Colombo, it would be a positive confirmation signal for the king crypto. In the next tweet, the analyst emphasized the importance of the $30,000 resistance level on the BTC weekly chart, saying that this point might be crucial in determining the course of Bitcoin's price in the future. Market participants are closely watching this level, as a successful breach could signal further gains.
XRP security status debate intensifies as pro-Ripple lawyer asserts compelling factor
On Sunday, April 9, attorney Jeremy Hogan wrote a Twitter thread on why XRP does not qualify as a security.

Hogan then proceeded to say that even the SEC concedes that XRP could only be deemed an "investment contract." The issue, according to Hogan, is whether the SEC has proven that there was either an implied or explicit "contract" between Ripple and XRP purchasers relating to their "investment."
