Express News | Jiang Zhuoer: Bitcoin may surge to $76,000 before correcting

On September 13, Jiang Zhuoer, founder of the B.TOP mining pool, posted an analysis stating that the most likely scenario for Bitcoin is an initial sweep of the high-level liquidation zone around $76,000, with Ethereum simultaneously testing liquidations near $2,665. After clearing the $76,000 level, two subsequent scenarios are possible: a) If price stabilizes and rebounds before reaching $75,000, it is more likely to rise back to $80,000, potentially touching the high-resistance zone of $83,000–$84,000, before undergoing a significant correction; b) If it effectively breaks below $75,000, this would trigger a retracement corresponding to the previous rally from $64,000, expected to reach $70,000–$72,000, before entering the next phase of the bull market. Jiang Zhuoer believes that next week’s legislative vote and Federal Reserve announcements could serve as key catalysts, and thus maintains a neutral position consisting of a full short position in Bitcoin and a full spot position in Ethereum.

Express News | Electrum Releases Version 4.8.2: Fixes Critical Lightning Wallet Backup Issues and Enhances Security

Electrum has released version 4.8.2, introducing multiple security fixes and enhancing the security of the Bitcoin wallet codebase. These fixes are based on reports from researchers including the Bitcoin Red Team, Calle, l0rinc, haoxucu, and m0wer. This version addresses a critical backup issue affecting certain Lightning wallets that use non-deterministic keys and anchor channels. Previously, channel backups and full wallet backups for affected wallets might have lacked the keys required to transfer funds on-chain after requesting a remote force-close. Affected users will receive a warning upon launching Electrum and should export new backups, as old backups cannot correctly restore funds in this scenario. The update also strengthens Lightning HTLC validation, rejects malformed xpub/xprv keys that were previously accepted, expands the scope of codebase security hardening, and prevents Android QR code scanners from reading screenshots. This marks Electrum’s third security-focused release since July, following versions 4.8.0 and 4.8.1.
