Jordi Visser Identifies Critical Breakout Levels for Bitcoin and Ether

Visser predicts that in an environment where inflation remains high and the S&P 500 stagnates, investors will seek profitable assets. The probability of a 2026 recession on the Kalshi prediction market has fallen by 10% over the last 30 days to 24%. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Friday report, the April Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 3.3% year-over-year.

April 22 ETF Flows Support BTC and ETH Rally

The development supporting the breakout is the April 22, 2026 ETF flows: Bitcoin ETFs recorded a $335.8 million net inflow, while Ethereum ETFs saw $96.4 million in inflows.
