Daily Crypto Summary April 6, 2026 — BTC Bounces to $69K

Happy Monday! The crypto market opens the new week on a refreshing note after lingering in Extreme Fear for several days. There are several major news stories to keep an eye on today.

1. Bitcoin Bounces +2.6% to $68,900 — Total Market Surges to $2.45 Trillion

According to data from CoinGabbar, the overall crypto market recovered +2.2% today, with the total valuation reaching $2.45 trillion. This was led by BTC, which bounced 2.6% to $68,900, while ETH surged 2.92% to $2,122. SOL climbed 2.07% to $82.34. BTC Dominance remains strong at 56.6%. The Fear & Greed Index is still in the Extreme Fear zone at 13 but has improved compared to last week. SiamDEX traders who went Long on BTC since the beginning of the week are likely seeing handsome profits.

2. Goldman Sachs Views Bitcoin Near Bottom — Clarity Act Looming

According to a report from CryptoTicker, Goldman Sachs released an analyst note stating that BTC's 6-month downtrend may have ended. With BTC fluctuating around $67,000-$69,000, analysts see this as a springboard for the next bull run, especially if the Fed signals an interest rate cut. Furthermore, there is progress on the Clarity Act, a U.S. crypto bill that will clearly distinguish Digital Commodities from Digital Securities. If passed as planned, this will provide the regulatory clarity that institutional investors have long awaited.

3. Drift Protocol Confirms North Korea Behind $285M Hack

Update on the Drift Hack that occurred on April 1: According to TRM Labs, a blockchain intelligence firm, it has been confirmed that the attack likely originated from North Korean (DPRK) hackers. There are several clear signatures, including deployment timestamps matching 09:00 AM Pyongyang time, the use of Tornado Cash as a funding source, and social engineering patterns similar to last year’s $1.4B Bybit Hack. Shockingly, the attackers spent 3 weeks preparing since March 11 and were able to drain the funds within just 12 minutes once the actual attack began. The funds were transferred to Ethereum and converted into over 129,000 ETH.

4. PEPE Jumps 6.17% — Meme Coins Revive

According to data from CoinGabbar, meme coins are starting to show signs of life today, led by PEPE at +6.17% and MemeCore (M) at +6.51%. This signal often indicates that retail sentiment is improving, as meme coins typically rally shortly after BTC hits new highs. Traders holding long positions on SiamDEX should monitor whether BTC can hold above $68,000, as that is a critical key level.

5. Thai Cabinet Holds First Meeting April 6 — Eyes on Oil Price Structure

On the Thai side, the new Cabinet held its first meeting today, with a major agenda item being the oil price structure affecting everyone’s cost of living. The meeting’s outcome could impact diesel prices, which currently stand at 47.74 Baht/liter. If the government successfully implements measures to reduce refinery margins, pump prices could drop by 2-4 Baht/liter, providing significant relief to living costs. For traders looking to speculate on oil prices, BRENTOIL and CL remain tradable 24/7 on SiamDEX.

Short-term Outlook for the Week

Key factors to monitor this week include the FOMC Minutes on April 8, which will reveal the Fed’s interest rate direction, and the Beige Book on April 15. If the minutes lean dovish, BTC may test resistance at $70,000-$72,000. However, a hawkish tone could see it drop back to test $65,000. The market remains volatile; exercise caution and use low leverage.
