As April draws to a close, a new journey is about to begin. Not only does Bitcoin have the opportunity to solidify its bullish momentum, but Stormrake is officially launching in the US via our zerohash partnership.

What started as an arbitrage desk in 2017 evolved into a high touch brokerage service in 2019, born from years spent navigating a tumultuous space filled with inefficiencies. Back then, a lack of security, poor research, faceless exchanges, and negative sentiment dominated the industry. There was no human connection, and that is exactly why we built the brokerage you know today.

Fast forward to 2026, and we are now servicing over 10,000 clients. Bringing that same quality of service to the US, where over 70 million people hold digital assets, is the next logical step in our mission to deliver premium brokerage support.

Bitcoin’s Opportunity: Fear is Creeping Back In

Bitcoin is looking to achieve something it hasn’t done in nearly a year: closing a month up more than 10%. We saw price fail to push toward $80,000 over the weekend, and it has since retraced to key levels. May is historically a bullish month, and it may provide the narrative needed to finally clear the $80,000 mark.

As we mentioned recently, you do not want to be caught waiting for the narrative to hit; you want to be positioned beforehand. This recent pullback has caused fear to creep back into the market. The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index was in neutral territory at 47 just a few days ago, but it has now dropped to 26, a fearful reading.

This is telling. A small pullback has many investors hesitant, but those with conviction are taking advantage of the pessimism. They are “cutting the line,” securing discounted Bitcoin before the hesitant participants are forced to buy back in at higher prices later.

Stormrake Spotlight: Pax Gold (PAXG) ($4,546)

PAXG is continuing to push deeper into the demand zone, losing nearly 1% over the last 24 hours. The 200 exponential moving average is currently providing support at $4,527, but it is unlikely this will hold given the current strength of the bears.

BTC/USD Key Levels and Price Action:

The bears are taking full advantage of their momentum, sending Bitcoin lower. Price is now below $76,000 and is approaching a level of concern for the bulls. The highlighted zone sits just below $75,000. If Bitcoin enters this area and falls below it, the bears will have regained control of the short term market structure.
