Bitget Pulse2026/04/24 18:52Volatility Overview
IR's price retreated from a high of $0.04258 to a low of $0.03020 in the past 24 hours, currently quoted at $0.03035. The overall amplitude reached 41.0%, exhibiting a pump-then-dump pattern. 24-hour trading volume expanded significantly to $15.59 million (CoinMarketCap data), surging over 17 times higher than usual, with clear signs of net capital outflow.
Brief Analysis of the Abnormal Movement Reasons
- Trading Volume Surge Dominates: 24-hour trading volume increased sharply by 76% (Bitget monitoring), accompanied by multiple “pump incoming” signals on X, sparking short-term chasing. However, abnormal sell volume quickly ballooned to 7.7 times, triggering panic selling.
- No Major News Events: There was no official announcement or large on-chain whale activity reported in the past 24 hours. The movement was mainly driven by social media hype, and the announcement that MEXC Futures will delist on April 29 further heightened uncertainty.
Market View and Outlook
Community sentiment is divided. Most traders on X anticipate short-term downside (Finora AI and others issued short-term sell signals, IR ranked the largest loser of the day at -38.97%). Some optimists expect a breakout to the red zone (CryptoBull_360 predicts +60%), but high volatility risk warnings are widespread. It is advised to wait for confirmation at the $0.033 resistance or for a reversal at lower levels, and to avoid chasing highs.

Anthropic releases another article: What will the economy look like in the AI era?
Anthropic's economics team has released an AI economic scenario model, centered around three scenarios: moderate and gradual growth, transformative changes with GDP doubling, and an extreme situation with 15% annual growth but massive job losses among knowledge workers. The model treats work as "bundles of tasks" and analyzes AI’s enhancement and substitution effects on different types of tasks. Anthropic emphasizes that the economic outlook for 2030 is not predetermined; the key lies in how the dividends from AI are widely shared.
"New Federal Reserve News Agency": Waller's Rate Hike "Has No Way Back", Trump's "Trust" Faces Test
Nick Timiraos believes that after the higher-than-expected August CPI, the probability of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Waller’s hawkish stance on inflation has left himself almost "no leeway." With seven weeks before the election, whether or not Waller raises rates will directly test how long Trump's “trust” in him can last. Previously, Waller maintained a balance between the White House and the Federal Reserve by “talking less and avoiding provocation,” but after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as his shield.
