Administración Nacional de Electricidad (ANDE), Paraguay's state electricity monopoly, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with infrastructure firm Morphware to develop a government-run Bitcoin mining program using confiscated mining machines and surplus hydroelectric power from the Itaipú dam, according to Morphware founder and CEO Kenso Trabing. ANDE will own and host the mining operations at existing utility buildings near substations, initially connecting about 1,500 seized miners supported by ventilation, transformers, distribution units, and metering, while Morphware provides technical advice. The equipment stems from nationwide raids against unmetered and fraudulent high-voltage connections used by illegal miners since early 2024, including 2,738 mining rigs seized in Salto del Guairá tied to an unmetered high-load connection that accounted for roughly 1.1 billion guaraníes (around 146,000 dollars) in stolen electricity per month, contributing to a total stockpile of nearly 30,000 ASIC units.

A BTC move below $68,890 would trigger $2.964 billion in cumulative long liquidations on major centralized exchanges, Coinglass data cited by ChainCatcher show. A break above $76,110 would push cumulative short liquidations on major CEXs to $1.422 billion.

Ethereum rose more than 8%, breaking above $2,050, $2,080 and $2,120 to reach $2,200 before pulling back, and is now trading above $2,080 and the 100-hour simple moving average. A bullish trend line provides support near $2,020 on the hourly ETH/USD chart, with immediate resistance around $2,150, then $2,180 and $2,200. A decisive move above $2,200 could open the path toward $2,250, with further targets near $2,320 and $2,350, while failure to clear $2,150 may trigger renewed selling toward $2,080, $2,065, $2,020 and potentially $1,980 or $1,920. The hourly MACD is losing strength in the bullish zone and the RSI holds above 50, with $2,065 marked as major support and $2,180 as key resistance.

Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading above the $70,000 threshold and its 100-hour simple moving average, following a decisive breach of the $68,800 and $70,000 resistance levels. The cryptocurrency recently achieved a high of $74,062. Market analysis indicates robust support from a bullish trendline near $68,000. BTC now confronts immediate resistance at $72,800, with a significant barrier identified at $73,500. Should upward momentum persist, subsequent targets include $74,000, $75,000, $76,800, and $77,200. Conversely, key support levels are established at $72,200, $72,000, and the critical $70,000 zone, which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement of its recent price movement from $66,164 to $74,062. A sustained break below $70,000 could lead to tests of $68,800 and the primary $68,000 support.
