Render Revving Up: Analyst Predicts Potential Climb To $16
Render (RNDR), the cloud-based rendering network, is stirring excitement in the crypto market with technical indicators and analyst predictions hinting at a substantial price surge in the coming weeks or months.
Render Breaks Free From Technical Chains
Technical analysis paints a bullish picture for RNDR. The token has recently broken out of a bullish technical pattern known as the Dragon Pattern, also referred to as the supply line. This breakout historically signifies a potential shift in momentum, with prices likely to trend upwards.
Adding fuel to the fire, analysts are observing the formation of Three Rising Valleys on RNDR’s chart. This pattern suggests a potential market bottom has been established, indicating a reversal from previous downward trends.
Furthermore, a bullish divergence on the four-hour chart hints at weakening selling pressure. In simpler terms, sellers are struggling to push prices down, failing to break below previous lows.
$RENDER – It’s looking bullish in my opinion.
Here is why
• Dragon pattern aka the supply line which broke out already.
• Potential 3 rising valleys in the making while we established a potential bottom.
• 4 hour bullish divergence which means that sellers had a hard… pic.twitter.com/jMBzXWyG81

DoJi, a prominent crypto analyst, sees these technical indicators as a recipe for a price surge. Based on his analysis of the Three Rising Valleys, DoJi has set a price target of around for RNDR. He even goes as far as suggesting a price explosion beyond if historical price movements repeat themselves.
According to DoJi, surpassing a key resistance level of .20 could be the catalyst that ignites this bullish momentum.
RNDR Up 250% In 6 Months – But Can It Break Resistance?
In the previous half-year, RNDR’s value rose by an astounding 250%. The pattern of impulsive and corrective moves in the price fluctuation points to a turbulent market.
Forecasting the price trajectory of RNDR in the future offers both cautious and optimistic options. There is expected to be resistance at .90 and a larger barrier at .30.
If the price drops, .18 or even lower, .79, may provide support. RNDR network adoption rate and general market trends could drive price fluctuations, but long-term indications like the 100-day average point to a possible stabilization around .92.
Analyst Chimes In With Optimistic Predictions
Meanwhile, DoJi isn’t the only crypto expert bullish on RNDR. Inspector Crypto, another well-respected analyst, has identified a bullish Inverse Head and Shoulders Pattern on RNDR’s chart. This pattern typically precedes a price increase, and Inspector Crypto has projected a target range of – for RNDR based on this pattern.

The combined optimism from DoJi and Inspector Crypto reflects a broader sentiment of anticipation surrounding RNDR. While the token has experienced a slight dip in price recently, many analysts are closely monitoring its performance, waiting for the upswing signal.

Ace Exchange Suspects Should Get 20-Year Prison Sentences: Prosecutors
Prosecutors in Taiwan have proposed lengthy prison sentences for ACE Exchange’s founder, David Pan, and former executives as main suspects in an alleged fraud and money laundering case. This development came after the Taiwanese authorities initiated a fresh round of charges against the exchange founder and several others.
ACE Exchange Defendants Face Potential Lengthy Jail Term
On Friday, April 26, the Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office indicted 32 individuals involved in an alleged money laundering and fraud scheme. Among those indicted are Pan, his business partner Lin Keng-hong, and attorney Wang Chen-huan, who served as the exchange’s chairman.
The prosecutors alleged that the defendants promoted investments in various tokens, including NFTC tokens, Bitnature coins, and MoChange – a token developed by Ace Exchange. Investigations revealed that the suspects crafted white papers and other documents to enhance the perceived legitimacy of these investments.
According to the prosecutors, the suspects advertised these tokens through various media outlets while artificially inflating their prices on their exchanges to lure investors. Investors, however, reported that they could not convert their tokens back into New Taiwan dollars as promised, prompting them to file complaints about the alleged fraud.
A local news report disclosed that the losses amounted to approximately 800 million New Taiwan dollars (.56 million), a significant increase from earlier estimates of 340 million NT$. These fraudulent activities led to substantial financial losses for over 1200 investors, prompting the Taiwanese prosecutors to recommend prison sentences of at least 20 years for Pan and Lin.
The prosecutors stated that approximately NT million was transferred to Wang, who then invested NT million back into the exchange to artificially boost the token prices. Wang, a high-ranking employee in a law firm, could face a minimum of 12 years behind bars if found guilty of assisting the scheme.
Ace Exchange’s Stance And Response
What’s more, investigations show that Pan and his partners generated at least NT.2 billion in revenue from the sale of tokens and other blockchain products. Prosecutors also found that they planned to hide the cash in various locations, using some funds to purchase real estate in Yilan County.
In response to these allegations, Ace Exchange stated that Pan had not been involved in the platform’s day-to-day operations since 2022, distancing itself from his alleged misconduct. The exchange also clarified that its operating conditions remained normal while being in full cooperation with the authorities.

Optimism Soars By 17% Despite Recent Security Revelations
Optimism (OP) has grabbed investors’ attention in the last day following an intriguing positive price performance. Interestingly, OP’s market gain has occurred following a recent disclosure of certain security flaws associated with the popular layer-2 platform.
OP Bounces Back Amidst Optimism Security Concerns
On April 26, Offchain Labs, the initial developers of the prominent Ethereum L2 solution Arbitrum, highlighted certain security flaws found in the Optimism Stack fault-proof system. Via a blog post, the team at Offchain disclosed that they discovered two major systemic vulnerabilities in the newly released security program currently running on the Optimism testnet.
In communication with OP Labs, they stated that these security flaws could enable a bad actor to bypass the existing security measures of the Optimism network by enforcing the acceptance of a malicious claim or the rejection of a right claim. By exploiting these flaws, OffChain Labs stated these hackers could initiate a network dispute that is irresolvable.
The nature of these vulnerabilities is said to originate from the timers in the OP stack fault-proof system. If this program were introduced on the Optimism mainnet with such defects, users’ funds would be exposed to a “very high” level of risk.
However, these vulnerabilities were revealed to OP Labs about a month ago, which has now updated the Optimism testnet to address these security flaws. Interestingly, following these revelations, OP’s price took a nosedive, falling by almost 5% to trade at .274 on April 27. However, in the last day, Investors expressed solid confidence in Optimism’s security and future sustainability.
According to data from CoinMarketCap, OP has gained by 17.16% in the past 24 hours attaining a market price of .69. In tandem, the token’s daily trading volume is up by 110.64% and is valued at 2.77 million.
Hold Your Altcoins, Analyst Says Why
In the week following the Bitcoin Halving event, popular crypto analyst Michaël van De Poppe has advised users to invest heavily in altcoins. Via an X post on April 27, van De Poppe stated that the catalyzing effect of the Halving and the introduction of spot ETFs on Bitcoin are likely over, with momentum now shifting to the altcoin market.
In comparison to BTC, the crypto analyst notes that most altcoins are undervalued and set for massive gains in the current bull cycle. Furthermore, van de Poppe predicted that the upcoming crypto bull run could last longer than the previous cycle, based on the current extended bear market.
Particularly, van de Poppe identified Optimism (OP) as a promising altcoin with the potential to achieve three times the market growth compared to Bitcoin in this bullish cycle. Additionally, the analyst highlighted other tokens, including Chainlink (LINK), Woo (WOO), Celestia (TIA), and Skale (SKL), as potentially profitable investments.
