On May 16, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) trades at $101,919.08 USD, down 1.2% in 24 hours but up 2.95% weekly, per major exchanges. It’s 6.1% below its January 20, 2025, peak of $109,026.02. With a $2.03 trillion market cap, 19.87 million BTC circulate (95% of 21 million total). Institutional buys, like MicroStrategy’s $1.1B January purchase, and ETF inflows drive stability. Over 14 million BTC are held long-term, signaling scarcity. Resistance looms at $103,000–$108,000, with the Fear and Greed Index at 70, suggesting caution. Only 1.13 million BTC remain to be mined, and the next halving (April 2028) will cut the 3.125 BTC block reward, tightening supply. Positive sentiment from regulatory optimism fuels growth, but macroeconomic risks could spark corrections. Analysts see $110,000+ this month, citing strong risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ratio 1.72). Trading volume is $17.45 billion, with BTC holding 65% crypto market dominance. Monitor CoinDesk or CoinGecko for live data.
