While institutional investors continue to buy, retail interest has been rising, with Google search trends for “Bitcoin” reaching a 6-month high. Meanwhile, on-chain data reveals that $1.2 billion worth of Ethereum has been withdrawn from centralized exchanges in the past week. Additionally, ETH’s recent rally pushed 60% of holding addresses into profit. With sell-side pressure decreasing, ETH is set to experience further rallies in the near term. If bulls maintain control, the $3,000–$3,100 region may be tested as the next major resistance zone.” CoinSwitch Markets Desk noted, “On May 14, 2025, the crypto market exhibited cautious optimism amidst mixed signals. Bitcoin (BTC) sustained levels above $103K, stabilizing after hitting $104,800, driven by a U.S.-China tariff truce and cooling inflation data, which fueled expectations of 2025 Fed rate cuts. Ethereum (ETH) surged to $2,576, propelled by increasing stablecoin adoption and the growth of tokenization. However, the global crypto market cap dipped 3.3% to $3.44 trillion, reflecting profit-taking after a prior 2% rise to $3.5 trillion.” Avinash Shekhar, Co-founder & CEO, Pi42, said, “While BTC’s momentum has stalled slightly post the tariff pause rally, the spotlight has shifted to altcoins like RAY and ENA, which are capitalizing on the renewed risk appetite. The jump in Ethereum and broader alt gains suggest a rotation of capital within the crypto ecosystem, signaling strong underlying investor confidence as total market capitalization surges past $3.46 trillion.” Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO and co-founder of Unocoin, said, “Bitcoin is currently trading near $104K, showing resilience after recent CPI-related volatility. Bulls are defending key support at $102K, while resistance looms at $106.5K. RSI hovers around 63, indicating strength but not yet overbought. MACD shows a bullish crossover, suggesting momentum may extend upward. Whales continue accumulating below $105K, evident from large on-chain inflows. Volume is steady, showing sustained interest without FOMO spikes. Market sentiment remains cautiously bullish as traders eye the $110K psychological barrier. If macro conditions stay favorable, BTC may attempt a breakout in coming sessions. Short-term dips remain buying opportunities unless price breaks below $100K with volume confirmation.” Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, said, “The global cryptocurrency market saw modest movement today, with a total market capitalization hovering around $3.33 trillion, up 1.14% from the previous day. While Bitcoin continues to consolidate above the $100K mark, altcoins are witnessing mixed momentum as traders assess macroeconomic data and upcoming regulatory news. While the market is showing signs of consolidation, underlying sentiment remains cautiously bullish. Traders should watch key support levels and upcoming macro events for potential breakout signals.” CoinDCX Research Team noted, “Bitcoin price remains somewhat stable but drops below $103,000, keeping the markets within a consolidated range. The top 10 tokens, like Ethereum, XRP, Solana, BinanceCoin, etc., remain above the gained levels. Tokens like Helium and Quant attract marginal gains between 3% and 5%, while the other tokens rise with a much smaller margin below 1%. On the other hand, PI faces over 33% loss, followed by EOS with more than a 10% drop, and Celestia, Theta Network, JasmyCoin, and Story price face a 7% pullback. The global market cap faces a pullback but holds above $3.3 trillion, while 24-hour volume drops by 18%.” Subscribe And Follow ABP Live On Telegram: t.me/officialabplive Disclaimer: Crypto products and NFTs are unregulated and can be highly risky.
