This milestone comes as global trade tensions ease and regulatory developments favor the cryptocurrency market.Market Dynamics and Contributing FactorsThe recent rally in Bitcoin's price is attributed to several key factors:Easing U.S.-China Trade Tensions: A 90-day trade agreement between the United States and China, announced on May 12, temporarily reduced import tariffs, alleviating economic uncertainties and boosting investor confidence.Regulatory Advances: The U.S. Senate's progression on a bipartisan bill to regulate stablecoins has been perceived positively by the market, signaling a more structured approach to cryptocurrency regulation.Institutional Adoption: Increased institutional interest and investment in Bitcoin have provided additional momentum to its price surge.Technical Indicators and Market SentimentTechnical analysis indicates strong bullish momentum:Moving Averages: The 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) is approaching a crossover above the 200-day SMA, a pattern known as a "Golden Cross," which often signals a bullish trend.Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI remains in overbought territory, reflecting strong buying pressure.Analysts project potential short-term targets of $116,000, with some forecasting a "blow-off top" at $128,000. Long-term projections, considering the growth in global money supply (M2), suggest Bitcoin could reach $132,000 by the end of the year.Broader Cryptocurrency Market PerformanceThe positive sentiment extends beyond Bitcoin:Ethereum (ETH): Trading at $2,591.09, Ethereum has seen a 4.52% increase, maintaining its position as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.Total Market Capitalization: The overall cryptocurrency market cap has reached $3.36 trillion, with Bitcoin accounting for over 60% of this value.OutlookThe convergence of easing geopolitical tensions, favorable regulatory developments, and strong technical indicators suggests a continued bullish trajectory for Bitcoin.

Government entities across multiple countries are increasing their exposure to Bitcoin via indirect investment routes, according to a research report from Standard Chartered published on Tuesday. The bank points to growing institutional stakes in Strategy (MSTR)—a company widely considered a proxy for Bitcoin exposure—as evidence of accelerating structural demand for the asset.Governments Seek Bitcoin Exposure via MSTR Amid Regulatory ConstraintsAccording to Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research, several government bodies and pension funds increased their MSTR holdings during Q1 2025, reflecting efforts to gain BTC exposure in jurisdictions where direct holdings are restricted.“MSTR holdings by government entities reflect a desire to gain bitcoin exposure where local regulators do not allow direct BTC holdings,” Kendrick wrote.Strategy, which pioneered the corporate Bitcoin treasury model, now holds 576,230 BTC, valued at approximately $59 billion based on the current market price of $104,799.International Pension and Central Bank Activity RisesStandard Chartered noted a number of significant MSTR allocations during the first quarter:Norway’s Government Pension Fund and the Swiss National Bank (SNB) increased their MSTR holdings, equivalent to roughly 700 BTC.South Korea’s National Pension Service and Korea Investment Corporation added a combined 700 BTC equivalent.U.S. state retirement funds, including those from California, New York, and North Carolina, increased their holdings by the equivalent of 1,000 BTC.Sweden’s AP Funds and Landesbank Liechtenstein reported marginal increases.France’s Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC) and the Saudi Central Bank both entered MSTR positions for the first time.ETF Holdings Lag Despite Institutional Bitcoin DemandWhile institutional exposure via MSTR rose, direct holdings in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were "disappointing" in Q1, according to the bank. However, Standard Chartered maintains its long-term bullish outlook, reinforcing its prediction that Bitcoin will reach $500,000 before President Trump leaves office.The bank believes that as institutional appetite grows—especially from traditionally conservative investors like government pension funds—the demand floor for Bitcoin will continue rising, contributing to long-term price appreciation.

Bitcoin (BTC) surged past $108,000 on May 21, reaching a new four-month high and coming within 1.5% of its current all-time high of $109,356 set in January. As BTC consolidates near this critical resistance zone, analysts are projecting short-term targets of $116,000 and a potential “blow-off top” at $128,000.Bitcoin Surges Toward All-Time HighsBTC is currently trading at $106,246, retracing slightly from its intraday peak of over $108,000. The move brought Bitcoin within striking distance of setting a new all-time high. According to Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView, the previous record stands at $109,356 on crypto markets.This recent rally has reignited market optimism. Traders and analysts suggest that the next phase of upward momentum could be imminent if Bitcoin clears resistance near the current highs, according to Cointelegraph.Support Test Becomes Less LikelyWhile some market watchers previously anticipated a potential pullback to test major support zones, that outcome is becoming increasingly unlikely. Keith Alan, co-founder of Material Indicators, cited multiple layers of technical support converging around the $100,000 mark, including:21-Day Moving Average (MA): Currently at $101,64050-Day and 200-Day MA Convergence2025 Yearly OpenTrendline support“You can’t really ask for stronger technical support than that,” Alan wrote.“A dump to that level would be a gift, but at this point, I don’t think it’s likely. The more the 21-day MA separates from $100K, the less probable a support test becomes.”Traders Set Sights on $116K, $120K and $128KSeveral well-followed crypto analysts are publishing bullish outlooks for Bitcoin’s near-term price trajectory:Michaël van de Poppe identified $100,700 and $91,800 as key supports, with $120,000 cited as an “imminent” upside target.Merlijn, a popular trader, projected a breakout toward $116,000, describing BTC’s recent move as an “explosion out of a bullish pennant.”Henry, another trader, pegged $128,000 as a potential “blow-off top”, with intermediate support levels at $105,000 and $96,000.“Bitcoin is coiling at key resistance. A breakout could see $116K hit quickly, and the move might only just be starting,” Merlijn posted on X.Market Structure Remains BullishDespite short-term volatility, order book data from CoinGlass shows growing bid support just below $106,000, strengthening Bitcoin’s base. The macro trend remains intact, with a Golden Cross forming on higher timeframes and a continuation of ETF-driven institutional inflows.“Consolidation near these levels is constructive,” Alan added. “It increases the probability of sustained upside.”With bullish chart structures, deep liquidity, and strong long-term support, Bitcoin’s price appears well-positioned for a renewed leg higher — potentially entering a price discovery phase above $110,000 in the coming weeks.

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at approximately $106,340 as of May 21, 2025, just 2.5% below its all-time high of $109,114. While recent price action has shown hesitation near key resistance, on-chain indicators point to a resilient market structure, with the realized price metric suggesting that long-term holders remain in profit and that a broader recovery phase may be underway.Realized Price Reveals Profitable Conditions for 2025 InvestorsThe realized price—a blockchain-based metric representing the average price at which BTC was last moved—stands at $93,266 for the 2025 investor cohort. With Bitcoin currently trading at $106,340, these investors are sitting on an average unrealized gain of approximately 14%, reinforcing the narrative of renewed profitability across the market.Unlike headline-grabbing all-time highs, the realized price provides a deeper view of investor sentiment and cost basis, making it one of the most effective tools for identifying market health and potential inflection points.Historical Context: Capitulation and Rebound PatternsThroughout Bitcoin’s history, dips below the realized price have often marked capitulation phases and cyclical market bottoms:January 2024: Following the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, BTC briefly fell below its realized cost basis before rebounding.August 2024: A sharp correction during the yen carry trade unwind drove Bitcoin to $49,000, once again pushing prices below realized value and triggering a capitulation event.Most recently, BTC reclaimed its 2025 realized price level on April 22, indicating that the worst of the selling pressure may be behind, and signaling the beginning of a more constructive market phase.Realized Capitalization Hits All-Time HighAnother important metric, realized capitalization—which measures the aggregate value of all BTC based on their last on-chain movement—has climbed to a record $906 billion, according to CryptoSlate. This is the fourth consecutive weekly high, reflecting sustained investor confidence and increasing capital commitment to the Bitcoin network, even as price hovers near record levels.Beyond All-Time Highs: Why Realized Price Matters MoreWhen Bitcoin first exceeded $20,000 in 2017, the realized price lagged far behind at $5,149, revealing a speculative mania. Similarly, in 2021, BTC hit $69,000 while the realized price was well below. In contrast, the 2018 bear market bottom at $3,200 saw BTC’s market price converge with the realized price, illustrating the indicator’s role as a reliable support level during downturns.As the realized price steadily climbs across cycles, it reflects the maturing investor base, growing network value, and deeper capital inflows. Therefore, comparing cycle peaks alone—$69,000 in 2021 vs. over $100,000 in 2025—misses the larger trend of market development and foundation building.Foundations Strengthen as Bitcoin Eyes BreakoutWith BTC trading comfortably above its realized price and the majority of newer investors now in profit, the market appears structurally healthy. While price remains just below all-time highs, the combination of strong realized price support, rising realized cap, and declining capitulation risk points to the possibility of sustained upside momentum in the near term.As analysts shift focus from speculative peaks to cost-basis fundamentals, realized price continues to serve as a benchmark for evaluating long-term market strength.

Bitcoin (BTC) traded at approximately $106,445 on Wednesday, May 21, maintaining momentum just 2.4% below its all-time high, after briefly topping $107,000 in U.S. trading hours the day before. While traditional financial markets often follow the seasonal adage "Sell in May and go away," analysts say Bitcoin may break from that pattern, fueled by strong institutional inflows, regulatory optimism, and macro-political catalysts.ETF Inflows and Corporate Adoption Push Bitcoin HigherAccording to Paul Howard, Director at crypto trading firm Wincent, the combination of spot Bitcoin ETF demand, corporate treasury allocations, and a supportive U.S. regulatory environment is positioning BTC to potentially reach new all-time highs in the weeks ahead.“As we get into the European summer months, the sense is it's more likely a case of ‘buy in May and go away,’” Howard said in a market commentary.U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs drew $667 million in net inflows on Monday, bringing total May inflows to $3.3 billion, according to SoSoValue. This consistent inflow trend underscores persistent institutional demand, even as BTC nears historical resistance levels.In addition, companies are following in the footsteps of MicroStrategy (MSTR) by acquiring Bitcoin through debt and equity financing strategies, increasing long-term institutional exposure to the asset.Crypto Market Cap Nears $4 TrillionHoward highlighted that the total crypto market capitalization, which currently stands at $3.3 trillion (per TradingView), is on track to reach $4 trillion—a psychological and structural milestone that could drive further bullish sentiment.“As we edge closer to a $4 trillion market cap for digital assets, we will see BTC cross all-time-highs,” Howard added.Summer Macro Events May Disrupt SeasonalityHistorically, summer months tend to be slower for crypto markets, but analysts at Kaiko note that a convergence of macroeconomic and political developments could generate volatility, possibly accelerating Bitcoin’s upward momentum.Key events include:The Federal Reserve’s next interest rate decision in June, which could shift monetary policy expectations.The July 9 tariff deadline from former President Donald Trump’s economic policy platform, which may affect global risk sentiment and asset allocation.These developments could act as macro catalysts, altering investor behavior and liquidity flows across asset classes, including crypto.Bitcoin Options Market Signals Anticipated BreakoutData from Kaiko further reveals that Bitcoin options traders are positioning for a breakout, with elevated open interest at $110,000 and $120,000 strike prices for contracts expiring on June 27. The volume concentration at these levels signals growing market conviction in the probability of BTC establishing new record highs by early summer.Momentum Builds as BTC Nears Key LevelsWith Bitcoin trading at $106,445, just short of its historical peak, analysts see a window of opportunity driven by ETF inflows, corporate adoption, and market structure dynamics. Should current trends persist and macro conditions align, Bitcoin could enter a price discovery phase, pushing well beyond its previous highs and leading the broader digital asset market into new territory.

Blackstone has disclosed its first-ever cryptocurrency investment, acquiring just over $1 million in shares of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT). The move marks a significant, albeit cautious, step into the digital asset space for the firm, which manages approximately $1.2 trillion in assets.SEC Filing Reveals Modest Position in Bitcoin-Linked ETFsAccording to a May 20 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Blackstone reported owning 23,094 shares of IBIT valued at approximately $1.08 million as of March 31, 2025. The shares were purchased through the firm’s Alternative Multi-Strategy Fund (BTMIX), which currently manages $2.63 billion in assets.In addition to its IBIT position, Blackstone disclosed:A $6,300 stake in Bitcoin Depot Inc. (BTM), a crypto ATM operator, comprising 4,300 sharesA $181,166 investment in ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), totaling 9,889 sharesDespite branding itself as a leader in alternative investments, Blackstone has historically avoided direct exposure to cryptocurrencies. In 2019, CEO Steve Schwarzman publicly dismissed crypto as “odd,” favoring centralized currency systems over decentralized ones. At the time, he acknowledged blockchain's potential but questioned its use as a monetary vehicle.Industry-Wide Shifts Highlight Growing Institutional InterestBlackstone’s foray into Bitcoin ETFs coincides with sustained institutional inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, particularly BlackRock’s IBIT, which has seen 20 consecutive trading days of inflows since April 9, 2025, per Farside Investors data.IBIT has now amassed over $46.1 billion in net inflows since launching in January 2024, solidifying its position as the leading spot Bitcoin ETF in the U.S. market. By contrast, Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) trail with $11.8 billion and $2.8 billion in cumulative inflows, respectively.Meanwhile, some institutional investors are reassessing their exposure. The Wisconsin Investment Board, which had initially made headlines as one of the first U.S. state funds to back Bitcoin ETFs, revealed on May 15 that it liquidated its entire position of 6.06 million IBIT shares — then worth $3.7 billion — during Q1 2025.A Conservative Entry Amid Surging FlowsWhile Blackstone’s investment in Bitcoin ETFs is minor relative to its total portfolio, it may signal increased openness among traditional asset managers toward crypto exposure. The firm reported $37 billion in investable capital as of March 31, 2025.Given the strong institutional flows into Bitcoin ETFs, and growing acceptance of digital assets as an emerging asset class, Blackstone’s move could represent the beginning of broader institutional participation in the crypto sector, according to Cointelegraph.

Bitcoin (BTC) is approaching a critical juncture, with analysts forecasting a potential price discovery phase if it breaches the $110,000 level. As of May 21, BTC is trading around $107,457, just below its all-time high. The asset has already recorded a weekly close at $106,407, and if it ends May above $102,400, it would mark Bitcoin’s highest monthly close in history.$3 Billion in BTC Shorts at Risk Above $107,000Market analysts estimate that more than $3 billion in leveraged short positions could be liquidated if Bitcoin sustains a move above $107,000. According to trading data, this creates a so-called “liquidation magnet”—a technical condition where concentrated short positions act as upward fuel if breached, accelerating bullish momentum.Crypto trader Jelle described the market as being “inches away” from price discovery, a term used when an asset enters a previously uncharted range with no historical resistance, allowing price to be determined by real-time market dynamics.Technical Indicators Signal Breakout PotentialBitcoin is on the verge of confirming a golden cross on the daily chart—a bullish signal formed when the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average. Historically, this pattern has preceded price rallies ranging between 45% and 60%. If confirmed, this could push BTC well past its previous all-time high and into a new trading range above $110,000.A monthly close at or near $110,000 would represent a 15–17% gain for May, marking its strongest May performance since 2019, and nearly double the historical average monthly return of 8% for the month.Compression Patterns Mirror 2017 Bull RunBitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. noted that BTC is currently undergoing its third major price compression phase of this cycle, measured using a 180-day rolling maximum/minimum range. This pattern mirrors the 2017 rally, where Bitcoin surged from $1,000 to $20,000 following a supply-driven squeeze and increased retail demand post-halving.Bollinger Bands also show tightening volatility, a technical signal often associated with imminent breakouts. As volatility builds, traders are closely watching for a decisive move, according to Cointelegraph.Liquidity Skew Suggests Upside Breakout More LikelyAccording to current liquidation data, a move to $110,000 would trigger approximately $3 billion in short liquidations, while it would take a drop to $94,612 to generate an equivalent amount in long liquidations. This asymmetry in risk positioning indicates a higher probability of BTC moving upward to clear sell-side liquidity.Technical analyst Gert van Lagen emphasized this outlook, stating:“A liquidation magnet is glowing above $107K, ready to vaporize billions in shorts. First, BTC soared on fear. Next, it'll rise on liquidations.” 

The aggregate open interest in Bitcoin futures has surged to a record high of $72 billion, marking an 8% increase from $66.6 billion the previous week. This growth is primarily driven by institutional investors, with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) leading at $16.9 billion in BTC futures, followed by Binance at $12 billion.Notably, approximately $1.2 billion in short positions are concentrated between the $107,000 and $108,000 price levels. A breakout above this range could trigger significant liquidations, potentially propelling Bitcoin to new all-time highs.Macroeconomic Factors Influencing Bitcoin's MomentumSeveral macroeconomic factors are contributing to Bitcoin's upward trajectory:U.S. Fiscal Uncertainty: Ongoing concerns about the United States' fiscal health, including rising deficits and interest expenses, have led to Moody's downgrading the U.S. credit rating. BinanceTreasury Yields: The yield on the U.S. 30-year Treasury has breached the 5% threshold, reaching levels not seen since April 9. This increase in yields reflects reduced foreign demand and investor unease over trade policies.Institutional Interest: Institutional investors are increasingly viewing Bitcoin as a hedge against traditional financial market volatility, leading to increased demand and investment in BTC futures.Potential for Bitcoin's Price BreakoutThe current market conditions suggest that Bitcoin is poised for a potential breakout:Liquidity Dynamics: The concentration of short positions around the $107,000 to $108,000 range creates a scenario where a price surge could trigger a cascade of liquidations, further driving up the price.Comparative Asset Allocation: With gold's market capitalization at $22 trillion and Bitcoin's at $2.1 trillion, even a modest reallocation of assets from gold to Bitcoin by institutional investors could result in significant inflows into BTC.Bitcoin's recent performance, characterized by a record-high futures open interest and increasing institutional demand, indicates a strong bullish sentiment in the market. Coupled with macroeconomic factors such as U.S. fiscal uncertainty and rising Treasury yields, Bitcoin appears well-positioned for a potential price breakout in the near term, according to Cointelegraph.

According to Odaily, Arthur Hayes recently stated in an interview that Bitcoin could rise to $200,000, highlighting that the primary driver of the current bull market might be the policies of the U.S. Treasury rather than the Federal Reserve. Hayes analyzed that while the Federal Reserve's reduction in purchasing U.S. Treasury bonds leads to higher yields and tighter market liquidity, the Treasury's debt management and issuance plans could create new market dynamics.
