Bitcoin ($BTC )
BTC hovers around $94,230, down 1.5% as of May 6, but institutional accumulation continues. Strategy™ (formerly MicroStrategy) now holds 555,000 BTC, reinforcing long-term confidence. Analysts project a rally toward $105,000 if key resistance levels break .
Ethereum ($ETH )
ETH surged to $2,438 by May 10 (+6.45%), defying its earlier dip to $1,813. The Dencun upgrade slashed gas fees to 0.563 gwei, boosting network activity. Daily volume hit $25.1B, reflecting renewed institutional interest .
