$BTC Bitcoin price in the cryptocurrency market today May 15: what were its latest movements

May 15, 2025 09:56 a.m.

Bitcoin remains trading above the $100,000 mark in the cryptocurrency market as a result of the resistance from bullish traders in recent weeks and investors' risk appetite following the meeting between U.S. and Chinese officials last weekend in Switzerland.

Market analysts believe that the cryptocurrency could reach new all-time highs this year as the digital asset manages to maintain levels of psychological resistance and U.S. authorities push for pro-crypto laws.

At the beginning of 2025, bitcoin registered a new high of $109,000, benefiting from the inauguration of President Donald Trump. In recent months, the digital asset had been navigating downwards due to the tariff policies of the U.S. government.
