📰 News Highlights:

Crypto Group Defends Devs [Source][Source][Source]

The DeFi Education Fund has called on Donald Trump’s administration to drop charges against Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm, arguing that prosecuting open-source developers for how their code is used is “lawless” and damaging to innovation.

In a letter to crypto czar David Sacks, they criticized the Biden-era Department of Justice for criminalizing software development and urged Trump to protect developers and make the U.S. a crypto innovation leader.

Storm is facing charges for allegedly helping launder over $1 billion through Tornado Cash, but advocates say this sets a dangerous precedent for all open-source crypto devs.

They argue the prosecution contradicts FinCEN guidance and risks freezing the entire U.S. crypto development ecosystem.

 📈Technical Analysis Masterclass:

FET Overbought... But It Could Still Pump HARD?!

🔍 FET Technical Analysis:

• ✅ Breakout Confirmed: FET just broke above the 100-day Moving Average (100MA) — a bullish signal. It’s now consolidating above the 100MA, suggesting strong buyer support.

• 💪 Bullish Structure: Holding above the 100MA = strong foundation for a new uptrend. As long as this level holds, minor pullbacks are healthy, not alarming.

⚠️ Overbought… But Not Done?

• 📈 RSI Alert: FET’s RSI is over 70, meaning it’s overbought. This doesn’t always mean a dump is coming — but a cooldown or sideways move is likely.

• 📊 MACD Momentum: MACD is trending above the zero line, confirming positive momentum. Bullish trend still looks intact.

🎯 Strategy Tips

• 🛡️ Risk Management: Set your stop-loss just below the latest support. If FET drops below the 100MA, the bullish narrative weakens.

• 💰 Take-Profit Target: Look near the 200MA — a likely resistance zone where sellers may step in. Lock in profits before the hype cools.

💡 Feature of the Day: 

Loopscale Hacker Negotiates [Source][Source][Source]

The hacker who exploited Solana-based DeFi protocol Loopscale for $5.8 million is negotiating with the team to return the funds in exchange for a bounty.

The attacker, who took millions in USDC and SOL on April 26, signaled via Etherscan a willingness to cooperate under a white-hat agreement, initially offering to return 5,000 wrapped SOL.

Loopscale confirmed that only two yield vaults were affected, representing around 12% of total value locked.
