Forget 'Sell in May'
K33 Predicts a Bullish Summer for #bitcoin with Catalysts from #TRUMP on the Horizon
Analysts at K33, led by Vetle Lunde and David Zimmerman, challenge the traditional mantra of 'sell in May and go away' for cryptocurrencies, proposing a strategy of 'hold in May and stay' for the summer of 2025.
Historically, Bitcoin has shown significant declines at the beginning of May in 50% of its 14-year history, with four of these drops occurring in the last four years, possibly influenced by factors such as holidays and tax deadlines that reduce market activity.
However, K33 argues that this year will be different due to positive catalysts driven by President Trump, such as pro-crypto policies and a higher risk tolerance environment.
While stocks may face pressure from new tariffs, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies would benefit from a favorable environment, including potential regulatory developments and institutional adoption.
This analysis, published on May 7, 2025, suggests relative strength for Bitcoin in the coming months, breaking with the traditional seasonality inherited from markets like the S&P 500.
