BTC/USD: Bitcoin Goes Nuclear Above $111,000 — Where’s It Going Next?
Key points:
· Bitcoin extends cosmic journey
· Prices hit new record high
· All that’s helping power the flight
Freely floating in the stratosphere, the OG coin is looking for its next place to find some rest. When’s that coming? And where?
💫 Bitcoin in Orbit
· Bitcoin BTCUSD was roaming around in the stratosphere Thursday after the token blasted above $109,500 on Wednesday, marking a fresh all-time high.
· In early trading today, Bitcoin shot above $111,000 with a session high of $111.900 per token, setting yet another record as crypto markets were still hyped about all that was happening. While the red-hot rally cooled off slightly, prices were still gyrating above $110,000.
·
The latest move higher is being fuelled by a mix of favourable macro conditions, bullish regulatory tailwinds, and growing institutional interest in digital assets. Simply put: the environment has rarely looked more Bitcoin-friendly.
What’s special about this next price bracket? It could very well be the start of an entirely new bull cycle driven by major policy developments in the US.· Looking ahead, traders are already bracing for next week’s US GDP and PCE inflation reports — key economic events that could influence the Fed’s tone and, by extension, Bitcoin’s next leg.
· A cooler-than-expected read could clear the runway for Bitcoin to test the next psychological barrier at $115,000… or even aim higher. But, as you very well know, always DYOR.
BTCUSD
Bitcoin reached today new high at 107.200 – but after some savage profit taking took a serious dive.
However it managed to recover and now looks like it will be closing around 105.500
If so, tomorrow we can expect a new high – around 109.400 would be perfect.
I’ll feel free to claim that overall target in next couple of weeks should be 120K
Supports: 104.200, 102.550 & 102.100

Ethereum trying to follow the suit by Bitcoin, but that is where all similarity ends.
ETHUSD is far far away from the All time high, and it has to mature to be able to reach that again.
Supports: 2550.00, 2525.00 & 2490.00
Resistances: 2605.00, 2650.00 & 2740.00

Ethereum Price Risks Further Crash To $2,350 With Lower Lows Formation
The Ethereum price has ranged low now after making a new monthly high back on Tuesday. This increase had come as a much-needed relief for the crypto market, which had watched the ETH price struggled while Bitcoin thrived. However, the bullish breakout has not lasted long as bears have once again taken control and sellers are now dominating. Given this recent trend, it is possible that the Ethereum price has seen the end of price decline.
Ethereum Lower Lows Present Troubling Trend
The opening range for the week had established the current monthly high before breaking low. This showed an entry of large players into the market as the Ethereum price was pushed up rapidly to touch the $2,700 mark for the first time in over a month. This had set a bullish tone for the week, following into the next day as Tuesday also showed recovery strength,
The next day, Tuesday, the Ethereum price did pump once again and placed a higher high than Monday, suggesting that a continuation was in play. The day also closed out in the green as ETH bulls remained dominant through the trading day.
By Wednesday, there had been a turn in the market, whereas the previous days were dominated by bullish rallies, consolidation was the order of the day. This brought the Ethereum price back inside the opening range high of the week and then marked the first red close of the week.
This first red close,was a bearish signal. It initially didn’t signal that the Ethereum price would continue to crash. However, it did show that the bullishness that began on Monday might finally be over. Then, by Thursday, it was already a full-blown reversal as the market tested the previous day’s lows. Thursday’s red close was just as bearish as the market turned in expectation of bearish news.
There could be a possible breakdown of the price. In this case, the Ethereum price could again crash back below $2,400, wiping out a notable amount of gains accumulated over the last few weeks.
Bitcoin Rally Hits Wall as Price Stalls Below $104K, Analyst Cites Derivatives Pressure
Bitcoin experienced a notable surge earlier this week, climbing above the $104,000 mark and registering a weekly gain of nearly 10%. However, after reaching this level, the asset appears to have encountered resistance, with upward momentum slowing and price action remaining relatively flat in recent days.
At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $103,663, reflecting a modest 1.7% increase over the past 24 hours.
Derivatives Market Activity Signals Short-Term Uncertainty
The root of the slowdown appears to stem from the derivatives market. Specifically, the cumulative net taker volume, a metric that tracks the net volume of market orders, remaining in negative territory since BTC crossed above the psychological $100,000 threshold.
This suggests that there are more aggressive sell orders (shorts) than buy orders (longs), creating persistent downward pressure on price. Net taker volume is a useful gauge of real-time trader sentiment, and when it trends negative, it typically signals that market participants expect prices to drop, prompting more short-selling.
Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows fall, but BTC whale activity points to bull market acceleration
Key takeaways:
· Spot Bitcoin ETF inflows dropped over 90% from $3 billion to $228 million in four weeks.
· While strong ETF inflows often drive Bitcoin rallies, recent data shows price movements can occur independently.
· Despite short-term selling pressure, long-term BTC whale buying suggests a potential continuation of the BTC uptrend.
The Bitcoin (BTC) market posted a 90+% drop in spot BTC exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows, falling from $3 billion in the last week of April to just $228 million this week.
Historically, a slowdown in ETF inflows has impacted BTC price, notably when daily inflows averaged over $1.5 billion for consecutive weeks.
BTCUSD 4h
Support at 101.500 so far holding.
Another one is just below it – 100.700
If this is a correction starting ( or some kind of consolidation) , it shouldn’t go lower then 97.750
Bitcoin has to break back Up over 103.500 in next couple of hours to be able to continue Up, and if so this down pressure would be negated.
BTCUSD – Bitcoin
Bitcoin lost momentum and if it doesn’t make it tomorrow over 105.850, consolidation will be on cards at least…if not a full correction all the way to 93K
Supports: 102.600 & 100.950
However, if it does manage to go over 105.850 it is going to target immediately 109.500 and 112.500 after it.
Bitcoin miners halt sales as BTC gains 20% since hash ribbon ‘buy’ signal
Key points:· Bitcoin miners have stopped selling their BTC in what may signal the end of a lengthy distribution streak.
· Over the past month, miner wallet balances have increased by around 2,700 BTC.
· Hash Ribbons data shows good times continuing for both miners and BTC price strength.
Bitcoin BTCUSD accumulation by miners is back as network participants swap selling for holding at $75,000 lows.
Data from onchain analytics firm Glassnode shows that miners are now actively adding to their BTC reserves.
Bitcoin miners buck months of selling
Bitcoin hitting multimonth lows in April sparked a sea change in miner behaviour, with a lengthy selling streak reversing into significant accumulation.
Glassnode shows that shortly after BTCUSD bottomed just below $75,000, the balance in miner wallets itself found a floor, only to then start increasing along with price.
Miner wallets held 1,794,622 BTC on April 12, while as of May 13, they had reached 1,797,330 BTC — an increase of 2,708 BTC or 0.15%.
BTCUSD – Bitcoin 4h
Bitcoin touched the support at 102.500, and bounced for now…
Above the head are resistances:
103.650, 104.200 & 104.650
Supports: 102.500, 101.650 & 100.850
It has to stay above 101.650 today to be able to continue Up uninterrupted , but if not, 99.500 might be the target of this move.
Ethereum to $10K ‘can’t be ruled out’ as ETH price makes sharp gains vs. SOL, XRP
Key points:
· Ether has rebounded from key parabolic and triangle support levels, reviving the case for a $10,000 breakout.
· Historical fractals and RSI recovery mirror past pre-rally setups seen in 2016 and 2020.
· Altseason signals and strength against rivals like SOL and XRP boost Ethereum’s potential to outperform.
Ether ETHUSD, Ethereum’s native token, has soared over 44% in just three days to surpass $2,600 on May 11, fueling fresh speculation of a run toward $10,000 in the coming months.
A mix of fractal setups as well as Ether’s potential to outperform its top-ranking rivals, Bitcoin BTCUSD, Solana SOLUSD, and XRP XRPUSD, are serving as some catalysts behind the five-figure price prediction.
ETH’s “up band” target is around $10,000
Ether’s long-term price action continues to follow a parabolic curve that has defined its major market cycles since 2015.
As of May 2025, ETH has rebounded from the curve’s lower boundary near $2,100 — a historically significant support zone that has previously triggered major rallies.
If this parabolic trajectory holds, Ethereum’s next move could be toward the upper boundary of the curve, which currently intersects near the $10,000 level.
BTCUSD 4h – Bitcoin
Supports: 103.300, 102.950 & 102.335
Resistances: 104.150, 104.400 & 105.150
BTC is targeting 109.500 in this moment, but has to hold above 103.300 to be able to start climbing again today.
If stalls here, and loses 102.335 it will delay further advances and send BTC to test deeper supports.
98K is a level that has to hold for this rally to continue.
Bitcoin, XRP Soar. Here’s the Risk to the Crypto Rally
Bitcoin continued to rally Friday, but it was the smaller cryptocurrencies Ether and XRP that were seeing the biggest gains to end a week that has reignited investors’ risk appetite for digital assets.
Bitcoin was up 3.6% to $102,945 over the last 24 hours, according to CoinDesk data. The world’s largest cryptocurrency crossed $100,000 for the first time since early February on Thursday afternoon and briefly passed the $104,000 mark overnight.
Altcoin Ether led the gains among the big cryptos, soaring 16% to $2,307. XRP and Solana rose 5.6% and 7.4%, respectively. All cryptocurrencies are fairly volatile assets, but altcoins often experience more extreme moves in either direction.
Trade developments between the Trump administration and trading partners played a big role in crypto’s recent surge. On Thursday, the U.S. and the U.K. announced a trade agreement — the first since Trump declared sweeping global tariffs on April 2, or “Liberation Day.”
Trump suggested tariffs on China could be lowered to 80%, down from 145% currently.
The crypto market sentiment index reached 73, which is only a couple of steps away from extreme greed and is the highest since late January
If more significant trade agreements don’t materialize before the 90-day pause on the bulk of Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs expire in July, most economists agree that will push inflation higher. That would prompt the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates higher for longer, with higher borrowing costs hampering investors’ appetite for riskier assets like cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum’s (ETH) Price Explosion, Ripple’s (XRP) Next Targets
Key points:
· ETH surged by 23% in 24 hours to over $2,400, sparking bullish predictions of $4K to even $25K.
· XRP jumped 9% daily to $2.40 amid optimism from the settlement between Ripple and the SEC, with analysts eyeing a potential breakout past $2.80 toward new all-time highs.
· PEPE skyrocketed by more than 50% weekly, hitting its highest price since January, boosted by whale accumulation and a revitalized crypto market.
ETH’s Impressive Comeback
The second-largest cryptocurrency, which has been among the biggest disappointments this cycle, finally managed to reverse the negative trend. In the past several days, Ethereum’s price has been going through the roof, and currently, it is worth over $2,400 (per CoinGecko’s data). This represents a whopping 23% increase in just 24 hours and the asset’s best daily performance since 2021.
“In a world where Bitcoin is heading to $500K+, $25K+ ETH almost sounds too bearish.”What’s Next for XRP?
Ripple’s native token is also well in the green on a daily scale, albeit charting less substantial gains than ETH. As of this writing, it trades at roughly $2.40, a 9% increase for that timeframe.
Its resurgence could be attributed to the booming crypto market as well as the recent developments in the Ripple v. SEC lawsuit. Just recently, the two entities agreed to a $50 million settlement, potentially ending the years-long legal battle that began in 2020 over alleged unregistered XRP sales.
Can Ethereum (ETH) Outperform Bitcoin (BTC) in 2025?
Key points:
· Although it has moved a little from the multi-year low against BTC recorded earlier this year, ETH continues to struggle when compared to the largest cryptocurrency (and also the greenback).
Tech Factors
It has been said time and time again in the past several months that ETH’s price has failed to copy any of BTC’s momentum. While the largest cryptocurrency surged to a new all-time high in January 2025 at almost $110,000, Ethereum was stopped on a couple of occasions at $4,000 and came nowhere near its 2021 peak.
The current price tag of just over $1,800 means that ETH actually trade slower against the dollar now than it did before the US elections (generally considered the beginning of the current cycle). The ETH/BTC trading pair reached a five-year low at under 0.018 a few weeks back and now sits very close to those levels.
“Ethereum’s value proposition, though, lies in its use case as a programmable blockchain. If Ethereum gains wider adoption and institutional interest—especially in sectors like decentralized finance (DeFi), enterprise blockchain solutions, or NFTs—it could experience significant growth.
Ethereum has the potential to outperform Bitcoin in certain areas,” but the latter’s role as the primary store of value and its established position in the market may provide it with a more stable long-term growth trajectory.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC Approaches $97K Resistance Amid Emerging Warning Signals
Bitcoin is facing strong resistance at the $97K level, highlighting an ongoing battle between buyers and sellers. However, current price action suggests a potential corrective phase before any decisive breakout.Technical Analysis The Daily ChartBitcoin has continued its impulsive surge after breaking above the crucial $90K threshold, reaching the $97K resistance region. However, the bullish trend has temporarily stalled at this critical level, with the price struggling to break above it. The recent consolidation near $97K reflects the presence of supply and a clear battle between buyers and sellers.
Additionally, the 100-day moving average has crossed below the 200-day moving average, forming a death cross, which could signal weakening momentum. Given the current structure, Bitcoin appears poised for a short-term corrective pullback or consolidation toward the $90K area before any potential breakout above the $97K resistance.
BTCUSD – Bitcoin Daily
Bitcoin lost this very steep Uptrend, but do not expect now the downtrend – this was just normal
We are looking at one simple consolidation so far, and as long as BTC stays above the channel line ( and that is an old one) at 92.500 it will continue further Up.
Now let me get your attention to something that all of you should know: what we are looking at is Inverted SHS ( shoulder-head-shoulder ) Formation.
It occurs rarely on the daily charts and before it forms fully you can’t know .
We have 98K as first obstacle now, followed by psychological one at 100K
BTC has to go above 95.750 to restore upward momentum
