Bitcoin may experience a short-term rally that surprises investors before the broader downtrend continues, according to on-chain analyst Willy Woo. According to Cointelegraph, Woo suggested in a recent post that a "bull trap" could be forming, indicating a false breakout that might mislead the market into believing a sustained uptrend is underway. He speculated that this rally could extend until the end of April. Woo's analysis is based on liquidity conditions rather than price levels. He mentioned that if capital returns with the right type of long-term investors, he would reconsider his outlook. From a long-term liquidity perspective, Woo stated that Bitcoin is "solidly in the middle of its bear market." He explained that after rapid downward movements, Bitcoin often stabilizes and attempts a rally to test resistance levels. Bitcoin has declined approximately 46.82% since its October all-time high of $126,000, currently trading at $67,012, as reported by CoinMarketCap. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin has seen a 3.74% increase. Woo believes that the current level is not the bottom for Bitcoin, suggesting the asset may face further declines. Crypto sentiment platform Santiment echoed this sentiment, noting that whales are aggressively selling while retail investors are buying below $70,000. Santiment indicated that when retail investors buy while whales sell, it often signals that the correction is not yet complete. Despite Bitcoin's inability to maintain the "mid-70s" range after reaching $74,000, Woo observed that investor flows have been in "consistent recovery" since mid-February. Other analysts share Woo's bearish outlook. Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen recently stated that 2026 is likely to be a "bear market year" for Bitcoin, with little chance of reaching new all-time highs. On-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant also noted that Bitcoin remains in a bear market despite recent rallies. This observation follows the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, a popular measure of crypto investor sentiment, which fell back to "extreme fear" levels after a brief recovery.

A coalition of U.S. lawmakers is taking a stand against the potential issuance of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) by the U.S. central bank, emphasizing the need for a permanent prohibition. According to Cointelegraph, Congressman Michael Cloud, along with 28 other members of Congress, addressed a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, urging the prevention of a CBDC in the United States. The letter follows a proposed amendment to the Federal Reserve Act, which aims to delay the issuance of a CBDC until 2031. This amendment is part of the extensive “21st Century ROAD to Housing Act” (HR 6644), recently released by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. However, Cloud and his colleagues argue that this temporary measure is insufficient to safeguard American citizens. The lawmakers insist that a permanent ban is necessary, warning that CBDCs could lead to unconstitutional financial surveillance and grant the Federal Reserve excessive control over Americans' finances, infringing on civil liberties and financial freedom. They describe a CBDC as inherently anti-American and stress the urgency of addressing this issue before it becomes too late. The letter criticizes the amendment for incorporating a diluted version of the “Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act” (HR 1919), initially introduced by Congressman Tom Emmer in June 2025. Although the bill passed the House on July 17, it has not yet secured full Senate approval. The lawmakers emphasize the need to restore the strong language of HR 1919, as the current amendment does not prevent the Federal Reserve from researching a CBDC. Additionally, Senator Mike Lee introduced a separate bill, the No CBDC Act (S 464), in February 2025, aiming to prohibit the Federal Reserve or Treasury from issuing a CBDC. However, this bill has stalled in Congress, leaving the future of CBDC legislation uncertain.

The United States Treasury Department has acknowledged the legitimate use of crypto mixers, which are tools designed to obscure digital asset transfers to enhance user privacy. According to Cointelegraph, this recognition was detailed in the Treasury's report to Congress titled 'Innovative Technologies to Counter Illicit Finance Involving Digital Assets.' The report highlights that as consumers increasingly utilize digital assets for payments, they may opt for mixers to safeguard their privacy in spending habits. It further elaborates that lawful users of digital assets might employ mixers to ensure financial privacy when conducting transactions on public blockchains. This could include protecting sensitive information related to personal wealth, business transactions, or charitable donations from being exposed on a public ledger. The Treasury's report also addresses the potential risks associated with 'darknet' or non-custodial, decentralized mixers. It warns that such mixers are often exploited for money laundering or transferring illicit funds by cybercriminals, including hackers linked to North Korea. The report suggests that custodial mixers, which are centralized services that hold user funds during the mixing process, could offer identifying information that might be used to trace users and transaction flows. Privacy concerns in the crypto space have intensified, particularly in 2025, as financial surveillance grows and U.S. lawmakers push for know-your-customer (KYC) requirements on digital asset service providers and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. DeFi leaders and advocates have expressed alarm over the ambiguous language in the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025, known as the CLARITY bill, which could compel DeFi platforms to collect user identification information. Alexander Grieve, vice president of government affairs at crypto investment firm Paradigm, noted that the bill lacks adequate protections for open-source software developers in the U.S. Former hedge fund manager Ray Dalio has also voiced concerns about the impending introduction of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), which are on-chain fiat currencies managed by central banks or governments. In an interview with independent journalist Tucker Carlson, Dalio described CBDCs as a 'very effective controlling mechanism' for governments, posing a significant threat to digital privacy. The ongoing debate raises questions about the future of privacy in U.S. crypto policy, especially in light of recent legal actions such as Roman Storm's conviction.
