流行的第 1 层网络 Cardano 今年几乎没有什么动静，但一些基本面和技术模式表明可能出现看涨突破。 周二，卡尔达诺 (ADA) 的交易价格接近关键支撑位 1 美元，较 12 月高点下跌约 27%。但如果某些技术模式保持不变，它可能即将迎来大幅牛市。 首先，ADA 已进入艾略特波浪模式的第四阶段。第一波发生在 2023 年 10 月至 2024 年 3 月之间，随后是 3 月至 8 月的修正第二波。 第三波持续到 11 月，在此期间，该代币达到 38.2% 斐波那契回撤位 1.3375 美元。如果最后的冲击波实现，ADA 可能会攀升至 61.8% 斐波那契水平 2 美元，这意味着其价格可能比当前价格上涨 110%。 其次，卡尔达诺在 0.2636 美元处形成了三底图表模式，颈线位于 0.8130 美元。该代币已突破该颈线并成功重新测试，这是一个看涨延续信号。 此外，ADA 已形成看涨三角旗形态，由一条高垂直线和一个盘整三角形组成。三角形即将达到交汇点，预示着强劲的看涨突破可能很快发生。 因此，ADA 价格可能会上涨至 50% 回撤位 1.6685 美元，然后上涨至 61.8% 回撤位 2.01 美元。由于这是周线图，因此这一预测可能需要更长时间才能实现。 你可能还喜欢：卡尔达诺价格可能很快飙升 50% 的 3 个原因 Cardano 价格图表 | 来源：crypto.news ADA 价格的潜在催化剂 Cardano 有几个催化剂可能会在短期内推动其价格上涨。首先，Polymarket 上 Cardano ETF 现货的几率已从本月的 20% 低点上升至近 60%。ETF 获批将引发更多炒作，并吸引更多机构投资者的资金流入。 ADA ETF 赔率正在上升 | Polymarket 其次，尽管 Cardano 处于熊市，但其期货未平仓合约仍然保持强劲。未平仓合约目前超过 12 亿美元，表明期货市场需求持续。这种分歧可能导致 ADA 进一步上涨。 Cardano 期货未平仓合约 | 来源：CoinGlass

企业家兼 JAN3 首席执行官 Samson Mow 分享了一项分析，声称以比特币的固定供应模型衡量，以太坊、XRP 和 Solana 被高估了。 他的论点主要集中在重新构建山寨币价值以对抗他所谓的“单位偏差”。Mow 在 X 上表示：“你可以花约 85,000 美元购买 2100 万分之一的 BTC 供应量。” 他提到比特币（BTC）的供应上限为2100万枚。随后，Mow将主流山寨币的市值除以2100万，计算出它们的等价价值，从而建立了可比指标。 大多数替代品都利用单位偏差，利用非常高的供应量，因此人们无法弄清楚他们购买的是什么。“XRP 仅售 2 美元，但比特币的价格高达 85,000 美元，太贵了！”单位偏差绝对会摧毁初学者。#仅限比特币。— Samson Mow (@Excellion) 2025年4月19日 使用这种方法，Mow 计算出，相当于各种网络“二千一百万分之一”份额的成本将远低于其当前市场估值：以太坊 (ETH) 为 9,200 美元，XRP (XRP) 为 5,800 美元，Solana (SOL) 为 3,400 美元。 Mow 预测比特币的主导地位将进一步提升 “这些山寨币不可能值那么多钱，”莫文蔚总结道。他预测，由于这种明显的定价错误，“比特币的主导地位将会大幅提升”。根据 TradingView 的数据，比特币的主导地位目前徘徊在 63.71% 左右。 比特币主导地位图表——来源：Tradingview 莫氏的计算方法是将山寨币与比特币的固定供应量进行比较。对于以太坊，其市值约为 1930 亿美元，除以 2100 万美元，他得出的等值价值为 9200 美元。“与其购买那 2100 万分之一的以太坊，不如只购买 0.11 个比特币，”莫氏辩称。 您可能还喜欢：加密货币风险投资融资：Auradine 获得 1.53 亿美元融资，World Liberty Fi 与 DWF Labs 签署协议 他写道：“XRP 仅售 2 美元，但比特币 85,000 美元的价格太贵了！” 莫文蔚还补充道：“单位偏差绝对会毁掉新手。” 这种观点出现之际，比特币的主导地位在多个时期内显著提升。根据 TradingView 的数据，比特币的主导地位在过去一年中增长了 14.48%。过去六个月，比特币的主导地位飙升了 9.15%，今年迄今飙升了 9.71%，过去一个月飙升了 3.76%。 比特币的发行量上限为 2100 万枚，并且会随着减半而减少发行量，而以太坊在实施 EIP-1559 后已转向通货紧缩模式，会销毁一部分交易费用。 即使是 XRP，其预挖供应量也达到了 1000 亿，其中约一半在流通。Solana 有一个通胀模型，通胀率会随着时间的推移而下降。 You might also like:比特币将涨至100万美元？《富爸爸穷爸爸》作者预测何时实现，但最终取决于灾难

XCN price is showing fresh signs of bullish momentum as it surges past 15% in 24 hours while testing a key resistance zone, potentially tracking towards $0.035 next. Onyxcoin (XCN) is up over 15% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $0.019, while the trading volume has surged over 500%. With this surge, the price is now testing the upper boundary of the range where it has been consolidating since the breakout rally that occurred between April 9 and April 11. Yesterday, XCN price broke above the 20-day EMA and continues to trade above it. The EMA 20 remains well above the SMA 50, sustaining the bullish crossover that initially occurred during that short April breakout rally. Since that rally, XCN price has also cooled off from overbought RSI levels, with the RSI now settling in bullish territory around 55. This suggests that the altcoin has reset its momentum and now has ample room to run before approaching overbought levels again. Source: TradingView You might also like:Onyxcoin price surges 10% – is another 200%+ breakout in play? Looking ahead, once the psychological $0.020 level is cleared—which also marks the upper boundary of the current consolidation range in terms of daily closes—the next upside target lies around $0.027, which was the local high reached during the April 9–11 rally. A breakout above that level would open the path toward $0.035, another key psychological level and the upper boundary of the distribution range after the late January peak. However, reaching that level would require sustained bullish momentum and strong volume. As of now, volume remains significantly below the spikes seen during the April breakout, although it has noticeably picked up on in the last couple of days. A breakdown below $0.15 – $0.16 support zone would invalidate the bullish outlook.

The S&P 500 rose 0.7% Friday, closing out a strong week as investors looked past weak consumer sentiment data and persistent inflation concerns. The index posted a 5% gain for the week, its best since November 2023, as tech stocks and easing trade tensions fueled optimism. The Nasdaq Composite added 0..5% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 331 points, or 0.7%. For the week, the Nasdaq jumped more than 6%, while the Dow gained 3%. You might also like:Bitcoin price remains range-bound hinting towards a slow weekend Why did the markes go up?  Markets rallied earlier this week after U.S. and Chinese officials agreed to a 90-day pause on new tariffs, easing fears of escalating trade friction. Tech stocks led the charge, with Nvidia up more than 15%, Meta up 7%, and Apple and Microsoft each logging notable gains. But Friday’s rally lost momentum after the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index dropped to 50.8—its second-lowest reading ever. Inflation expectations for the next year surged to 7.8%, the highest since 1981. Still, some analysts downplayed stagflation fears. “Markets are repricing the stagflation risk right now,” said Jamie Cox of Harris Financial Group, noting that consumer spending remains strong despite inflation concerns. President Donald Trump added uncertainty by signaling his administration would soon send letters to countries detailing new tariff rates, replacing some negotiations due to limited bandwidth. Despite the mixed signals, Wall Street ended the week on a high note, with the S&P 500 logging a five-day winning streak and recouping its year-to-date losses. Investors now turn to upcoming trade moves and inflation data for the next catalyst. You might also like:Moo Deng price approaches support: 50% bounce possible on bullish rounded bottom

A little-known crypto token saw sharp volatility today. FIFA surged over 67% in recent days before crashing more than 58% in the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data.  The token, trading under the symbol FIFA and priced at just $0.000000259, briefly drew attention amid speculative rumors that it was linked to the global football organization FIFA’s web3 initiatives. The token is currently ranked #3534 on CoinMarketCap. There is no evidence that the FIFA token is connected to the official governing body.

Bitcoin continues to trade sideways with volatility at multi-day lows. Price remains stuck in a tight range, suggesting a breakout could be imminent as compression reaches its apex over the weekend. Bitcoin (BTC) price action has stalled, maintaining a narrow range for more than a week as volatility steadily declines. With strong technical boundaries at both ends of the range, traders are now looking for a breakout that could dictate the next major move. Key technical points Range High Resistance:$105,000 Range Low Support:$100,700 Market Structure:Pennant-like equilibrium formation showing compression of price BTCUSDT (1H) Chart, Source: TradingView Over the past eight days, Bitcoin has consolidated between resistance at $105,000 and support at $100,700. These levels have defined a structured trading channel, keeping price tightly bound. Intraday action shows a developing equilibrium or pennant formation, marked by decreasing volatility and narrowing price movement. This market compression signals indecision and balance between buyers and sellers. Historically, such setups often precede sharp breakouts. As price coils toward the apex of the pennant, momentum is likely to build for a decisive move. Any breakout will need confirmation from increased volume and a strong close outside the established range. Another factor to monitor is the declining volume across major exchanges. This reduction reinforces the idea that market participants are waiting for a clear directional move. \Historically, low-volume consolidations near key levels often precede volatility spikes. An upside breakout would likely require a sudden influx of buy-side volume to overcome resistance. Conversely, a downside move without strong volume may result in a fakeout, quickly snapping back into the range. You might also like:Moo Deng price approaches support: 50% bounce possible on bullish rounded bottom Until then, Bitcoin is likely to continue oscillating between support and resistance, offering opportunities for short-term range traders while larger moves remain on hold. What to expect in the coming price action If current compression persists, a breakout is likely within the next three to five days. Weekend trading may stay muted, but early next week could bring the volatility needed to break the range. Unless price closes above $105,000 or below $100,700 with volume confirmation, the range is expected to remain intact. Traders should remain patient and alert for signals of directional intent as price nears the apex. Read more:Centrifuge price surges ahead of the CFM token migration

Moo Deng has pulled back nearly 40% from its recent highs, but the current correction may be setting the stage for the next bullish leg. A critical support zone is emerging. After an explosive move higher, Moo-Deng (MOODENG) has entered a corrective phase, but this appears to be healthy within the broader bullish structure. Price action has retraced back toward the $0.20 zone, which aligns with multiple high-confidence technical indicators, suggesting this level could act as a springboard for a renewed rally.Despite the sharp decline from the $0.35 swing high, the trend remains intact. Market structure shows signs of forming a potential higher low, while bullish confluences continue to build at current levels. Traders should be watching closely for signs of strength returning at support. Key technical points, Major Support at $0.20:200 MA, 0.618 Fibonacci, Value Area Low, and Daily SR Round Bottom Formation:A potential rounding base is forming on the daily chart Upside Target at $0.31:A 50% move could follow if support holds and structure confirms MOO-DENGUSDT (1H) Chart, Source: TradingView Moo Deng’s correction began after a strong swing high near $0.35, triggering an aggressive pullback. However, this retracement is not unusual, it follows a steep and volatile rally. The current move has returned to the $0.20 level, which carries significant technical weight. This area coincides with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of the most recent leg higher, the 200-day moving average, a daily support-resistance zone, and the value area low on the volume profile. You might also like:Sui price up 5.16% intra-day: bullish structure remains strong Notably, price action is beginning to form a round bottom pattern. While still in development, this type of structure typically indicates accumulation and often precedes breakout moves. The longer Moo Deng consolidates and holds above $0.20, the more credible the bottoming formation becomes.From a market structure perspective, maintaining this support would confirm a higher low in the broader uptrend, a bullish signal. The confluence of technical levels makes this a high-probability area for a reversal if buyers regain control. What to expect in the coming price action If the $0.20 support region continues to hold and the round bottom structure matures, Moo Deng could stage a rally toward $0.31, representing a nearly 50% move from current levels. The bullish trend remains intact, and this pullback may prove to be a necessary reset before the next impulsive leg higher. Traders should monitor volume and price behavior closely around support for early signs of a reversal.

Michael Novogratz, founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital, said the crypto industry is at a turning point as his firm went public on the Nasdaq Thursday under the ticker GLXY. “We started off wanting to be the Goldman Sachs of crypto,” Novogratz said during a CNBC “Squawk Box” interview, recalling early days building out a broker-dealer and asset management firm. “The herd is finally here.” Galaxy’s public debut comes with a shift in strategy. While the company remains focused on crypto, it has also moved into the AI data center business. Novogratz described Galaxy as a “data center company plus a crypto company,” pointing to a major lease with CoreWeave at the Helios site in Texas. “That’s close to $14 billion of rent over the next 15 years,” he said. Novogratz framed the AI expansion as more than a hedge. “These are the two most exciting growth areas—AI and crypto,” he said. “By mid-next year, we should have the first section [of the data center] really pulling a whole bunch of cash.” You might also like:Galaxy Digital eyes tokenizing its own shares in SEC talks Crypto and politics On the policy front, Novogratz was candid about politics. “The four years under Biden were really un-American when it came to crypto. It was just misery,” he said, calling the current environment “amazing for the space.” While some Democrats criticize Trump’s ties to crypto, Novogratz praised efforts by Senators Warner and Gallego for pushing bipartisan legislation. “We got to get this bill done, which I think happens Monday. Then there’s a market structure bill, and then crypto will go quiet in D.C.,” he said. Looking ahead, Novogratz predicted further gains for Bitcoin (BTC). “It looks like we’ll take out 106, 107, 108 and make the next leg to 131, 150,” he said. He added, “Crypto is a $2 trillion asset. Gold is a $22 trillion asset. One day, crypto will equal gold.” You might also like:Basel Medical Group launches $1b Bitcoin acquisition strategy

French authorities are looking to provide extra security for cryptocurrency executives and their families following a series of high-profile kidnappings and attempted abductions. France’s Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau made the announcement in a statement on Friday, May 16. His remarks came as France grapples with a wave of violent attacks targeting leading figures in the crypto industry. The most recent incident involved an attempted abduction in central Paris. Authorities now say they are enhancing protection measures for prominent individuals in the sector and their families. “These repeated kidnappings of professionals in the crypto sector will be fought with specific tools, both immediate and short-term, to prevent, dissuade and hinder in order to protect the industry,” Politico quoted Retailleau. The Interior Minister’s meeting with leading crypto executives followed the latest kidnapping attempt. On Tuesday, masked men tried to abduct the daughter of Pierre Noizat, founder and chief executive officer of the crypto exchange platform Paymium. The attempted kidnapping took place in the heart of Paris and follows two other recent attacks against French crypto entrepreneurs and their families.

The Centrifuge token surged to its highest level since January ahead of an upcoming token migration and a sharp rise in assets within its ecosystem. Centrifuge (CFG) jumped to a high of $0.2850 on Friday, up 180% from its lowest point this year. The surge pushed its market capitalization to over $106 million. The rally comes ahead of the scheduled migration of the Centrifuge governance token to Ethereum (ETH) on May 20.

Centrifuge price analysis CFG price chart | Source: TradingView On the daily chart, CFG climbed to $0.2735 on Friday as anticipation over the token migration intensified. The level is significant, as it coincides with the lowest swing point from October last year. The MACD indicator has recently crossed above the zero line, and the Relative Strength Index has entered overbought territory. Given this setup, the token is likely to continue its climb, potentially reaching resistance around $0.50 ahead of the migration.

Sui has rallied 5.16% over the past 24 hours, bouncing strongly from recent levels. Although the move has now encountered technical resistance, the broader market structure remains decisively bullish. Sui (SUI) price action has posted a notable 5.16% gain in the last 24 hours, reflecting renewed buyer interest and momentum. While the short-term rally has approached a local resistance level, the overall market structure remains firmly bullish. The current price action is part of a broader consolidation within a high-timeframe uptrend, with bulls maintaining control despite potential intraday pullbacks. Key technical points Local Resistance at $3.88:Sui has approached the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, which aligns with the channel midpoint and is currently acting as resistance. Bullish Market Structure:The overall trend remains bullish with higher highs and higher lows still intact on the macro timeframes. Key Support at $3.33:A potential pullback could retest the $3.33 level, where multiple confluences including the VWAP and 0.618 Fibonacci suggest a strong buy zone. SUIUSDT (4H) Chart, Source: TradingView Sui’s recent move into the $3.88 resistance zone, which aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci level and the midpoint of the ascending price channel, has led to short-term consolidation and a possible mild pullback. However, this resistance is considered temporary in the context of the prevailing uptrend.The next key level to watch is support at $3.33. This zone marks the channel low and aligns with several technical confluences, including the VWAP and a second 0.618 Fibonacci level. A move down to this area would likely form a higher low, signaling bullish continuation and preserving the macro structure. You might also like:PlanB doubles down on $400k target for Bitcoin, analysts urge caution Importantly, this scenario is not viewed as a breakdown or trend reversal. Instead, a potential pullback would serve to reset momentum before another push toward higher levels, particularly the major resistance near $4.65. What to expect in the coming price action If Sui fails to break through the current resistance at $3.88, a short-term retracement toward the $3.33 support level is likely. However, this would be considered a healthy correction within a broader bullish trend. As long as $3.33 holds, the overall structure remains intact, and bulls may target a continuation toward $4.65 in the near term.

Solana (SOL) was trading at $171.45 on Friday, down by 7.40% from its highest point this week. This retreat mirrors that of other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR). A potential catalyst for Solana is the anticipated approval of spot SOL ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Applicants include Grayscale, VanEck, 21Shares, Canary, and Franklin Templeton. According to Polymarket, the odds of approval have risen to 81%. There are signs that these ETFs will attract strong investor interest. A recently approved leveraged Solana fund, the 2X Solana ETF, has continued to gain assets. Since its launch in February, the fund has added nearly $30 million in inflows. It has posted net inflows every month since inception. So far this month, the fund has attracted $9.6 million in inflows, up from $8.3 million in April and $5.5 million in February. SOLT ETF | Source: ETF The SOLT ETF aims to generate daily returns that correspond to 2x the daily performance of SOL. It is similar to other leveraged funds like the ProShares UltraPro QQQ and Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull ETFs, which have $25 billion and $5 billion in assets under management, respectively.

By contrast, most stock-based leveraged ETFs charge under 0.90% annually. These ongoing inflows suggest that spot Solana ETFs, which are expected to have lower fees, could see even higher demand from institutional investors. There are also signs that spot XRP ETFs will have a higher demand than those tracking SOL as the recently-launched XXRP ETF has gained over $106 million in assets.  Beyond ETFs, Solana is benefiting from strong network fundamentals. The number of transactions and active accounts has surged in 2025. Over the past 30 days, transactions rose by 66%, while active accounts climbed to 101 million. Solana price technical analysis SOL price chart | Source: crypto.news On the daily chart, Solana price has pulled back to $172 after peaking at $185 earlier in the week. It is currently hovering near the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. Meanwhile, the 50-day and 100-day moving averages are on the verge of forming a mini golden cross, often a bullish signal. Solana has also formed an inverse head and shoulders pattern and is trading between the strong pivot reverse level and the upper boundary of the Murrey Math Lines trading range. Given these technical indicators, SOL is likely to resume its uptrend, with bulls eyeing a retest of the $200 resistance level. A breakout above that level could open the path to the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at $252. However, a drop below key support at $150 would invalidate the bullish outlook.

Galaxy Digital is in discussions with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission about tokenizing its own shares and potentially other equities using its in-house digital asset platform.  The move could allow Galaxy’s stock to be used in decentralized finance applications like trading and lending. The company met with the SEC’s crypto task force in March to explore registering Galaxy’s stock on a blockchain.  “They believe in the power of tokenized networks,” Novogratz said, noting that tokenization feels “really close” to becoming a reality, according to a Bloomberg report. You might also like:Nasdaq-listed Heritage Distilling accepts Bitcoin and Dogecoin in new treasury strategy Galaxy’s Nasdaq debut Galaxy, which managed $7 billion in assets at the end of March, will begin trading on the Nasdaq on Friday after previously being listed only in Canada. The listing comes amid renewed bullish sentiment in crypto markets and increased competition among crypto-native companies going public. Tokenization allows traditional assets to be represented as digital tokens on blockchains. These tokens can enable faster settlement, broader access, and continuous trading. Last year, Galaxy tokenized a 316-year-old Stradivarius violin to secure a loan, showing early use cases of the technology, according to Bloomberg. The SEC has shown growing interest in the space, recently hosting a tokenization roundtable where officials compared the shift to digitized assets to past transitions in media formats.  However, tokenizing equities still requires regulatory frameworks that reconcile blockchain technology with current securities laws. Other firms, including Coinbase and Kraken, have floated similar ideas around tokenized securities.  Novogratz said Friday’s listing marks a new chapter: “We are going to ring the bell… it’s the beginning and not the finish,” according to Bloomberg.

With Bitcoin hovering around $104,000, PlanB is already mapping a path to $400,000, though some see more fiction than forecast. Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent rally to $104,000 has put bulls back in the driver’s seat. At least that’s the takeaway from PlanB, the pseudonymous analyst behind the Stock-to-Flow model. In a new video, he outlines why the party might just be getting started — and how the next stop could be $400,000. PlanB pointed out that the market ended up staging a V-shaped recovery after all. Back in late March, Bitcoin was around $82,000. By the end of April, it had jumped to $94,000, and as of press time, it’s sitting at $104,000. To him, that wasn’t just a rebound, and it looked like a clear sign the bull market was back. He’s sticking with his long-term model. The S2F average for the 2024-2028 halving cycle is $500,000. That number may sound far-fetched, especially today, but PlanB isn’t fazed, as he’s saying the market is only “one year into the cycle, with three years to go.” Why so bullish A big piece of the puzzle is Bitcoin’s relative scarcity.As PlanB reminds, Bitcoin is “twice as scarce as gold,” noting, though, that gold is “worth ten times more.”That, to him, screams undervaluation. The chart that gives him confidence? His market cycle model. Created in 2022, it showed no “yellow” distribution signal when Bitcoin was at $82,000, a phase that usually precedes a bear market. Instead, the red signals he saw suggested bull continuation, calling it a “very weird, long, flat bull market.” Bitcoin’s RSI | Source: PlanB The analyst also referred to RSI, or Relative Strength Index, saying that right now, the metric is at 66, which is above average and rising. “I think we’ll see 80+ RSI months again — at least four of them — just like in the bull markets of 2021, 2020, 2017, and 2013. […] If we’re at an average price of $100,000 now… that would already bring us into the $400,000 area.” PlanB Some agree, with caveats Vugar Usi Zade, COO at Bitget, noted in an interview with crypto.news that PlanB’s $400,000 Bitcoin forecast leans on two pillars: a multi-year “four-phase” cycle and the S2F framework. He admitted that the timeline matches prior post-halving cycles, saying the market now sits “near month 12-15 of the current cycle — early but not alarmingly so.” “PlanB’s $400k Bitcoin forecast leans on two pillars: a multi-year ‘four-phase’ cycle and the S2F framework. The timeline aligns with past patterns, but macro and market-structure changes inject far more uncertainty than in 2013 or 2017.” Usi Zade But this time, it’s not just retail and hype. There’s institutional capital, structured derivatives, and macro risks to consider. “Unlike prior cycles, institutional adoption, regulated derivatives, and on-chain analytics now smoothen volatility and may extend cycles rather than compress them. But it’s important to consider that we face potential Fed rate pivots and geopolitical flare-ups. Such tail risks can abruptly truncate cycles. Also, a greater correlation to equities means Bitcoin may no longer behave as a stand-alone ‘digital gold’ store of value. Cycle timing can blur when broader risk assets sell off.” Usi Zade He also points out the move to $104,000 may not be entirely organic as April’s cooler inflation and dovish Fed tones triggered a broad “risk-on” rebound. According to Usi Zade, much of the move to $104,000 “could simply reflect short-covering and equity correlation.” That makes the $110,000-$115,000 level critical as a failure there could see “rapid retracement toward $88,000-$92,000,” Usi Zade suggests. As for the $400,000 target, the Bitget COO is even more cautious. He explains that while halving events do cut new supply and S2F did line up with prices in the past, the 2021 bull market broke the model’s predictive streak. “So, S2F retains some heuristic value but no longer commands unqualified trust. Treat its $400k figure as a broad ‘upper-bound scenario’ rather than a hard forecast.” Usi Zade Usi Zade told crypto news that the $400,000 S2F target now sits more as an “aspirational upper bound” than a high-confidence price projection. ‘Everybody’s in profit’ Another bullish signal for PlanB: rising realized prices. The 5-month realized price for short-term buyers is $92,000 now, and Bitcoin sits above this level. “That’s how we want to see it. That’s also a sign of a bull market. Everybody’s in profit. There’s not much pain in the market. We’ll see what that brings.” PlanB You might also like:Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow model creator PlanB slams Ethereum, calls it ‘premined shitcoin’ Even the 200-week moving average — a key long-term support — is ticking up. As of press time, it’s at around $47,000. For context: in previous cycles, this average marked the bottom. But now, PlanB sees the growing gap between that and price as more fuel for a bullish thesis. Bitcoin’s 200WMA | Source: Coinglass Tracy Jin, COO of MEXC, agrees with PlanB on the mechanics, though isn’t convinced by the pace. Yes, Bitcoin can post huge monthly gains, but “not without significant retail participation fueling the rallies.” Right now, she points out, that retail frenzy hasn’t shown up. “PlanB’s $400,000 projection aligns with historical patterns of exponential price moves during past bull markets. Still, this should not give investors the reason to treat such models as directional tools instead of precise forecasts. A better strategy is to have a diversified view, balancing on-chain data with macro trends, sentiment analysis, and risk management.” Tracy Jin The MEXC COO pointed out that although 40% monthly returns are possible, maintaining that level of momentum without widespread retail enthusiasm is unlikely. Jin calls today’s market “in transition,” explaining further that it’s “not fully bearish, but not yet in a full-fledged retail-driven rally.” Institutional players are definitely here, she says, adding that regulations have become tighter. “While 40% monthly returns are not impossible, sustaining that level of momentum without broad retail euphoria is unlikely. Such aggressive moves would now require favorable macro conditions, institutional flows, and a strong narrative to drive market-wide conviction.” Tracy Jin ‘Positive sign for altcoins’ Analysts at crypto payment gateway B2BinPay echoed some of the optimism but stressed caution. In a commentary for crypto.news, they noted that if Bitcoin starts moving below the $93,000 level and consolidates there, the market is “unlikely to see a quick move toward a new ATH.” “Instead, the price may pull back into the $88,000-$86,000 range. However, if Bitcoin shows strength from here, breaks above its ATH, and manages to stay above it, we could start looking at the next target zones — anywhere between $124,000 and $134,000.” B2BinPay Addressing Bitcoin dominance, the analysts say they consider it as a “very positive sign for altcoins,” adding that on the daily chart, “we can clearly see a break of the uptrend line that had held since Dec. 3, 2024, through May 9, 2025.” “That said, dominance is still at a relatively high level, and there’s a lot of liquidity built up below, most of it is compressed. And compressed liquidity tends to be released quickly. So, there’s a good chance we’ll see a fast move down to around 54% dominance, possibly sooner than expected. If that happens, altcoins might surprise us in a big way.” B2BinPay PlanB himself admits that some models “are wrong, some are useful,” but today’s market is clearly driven by more than just charts and halvings. Central banks, global politics, and crypto’s correlation with broader markets all play a role. Keeping that in view, B2BinPay analysts aren’t expecting a sudden surge in volatility in the short-term as summer approaches, noting that “summer tends to be a quiet season in the crypto market.” Read more:PlanB transfers Bitcoin to ETFs, prefers ‘peace of mind’

Heritage Distilling Holding Company has finalized its Cryptocurrency Treasury Reserve Policy.  This makes it one of the first craft spirits companies to accept and hold Bitcoin (BTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE) formally, according to the company. The policy allows the company to accept both cryptocurrencies as payment via its direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform and to treat them as long-term strategic assets. The company’s board approved the move as part of a broader sales and treasury diversification plan. The initiative was led by the board’s Technology and Cryptocurrency Committee, chaired by digital payments expert Matt Swann.  You might also like:Webull taps Coinbase for crypto custody, trading, and staking Long-term store of value Heritage believes Bitcoin serves as a viable long-term store of value, while Dogecoin is gaining traction as a transactional currency. “Heritage has always been an innovator,” said CEO Justin Stiefel. “Unlike traditional investors who buy crypto with cash, we produce goods with built-in margins that help offset volatility.” Stiefel added that accepting cryptocurrencies offers new financial flexibility and helps the company reach a broader customer base. The company cited data suggesting up to 86 million Americans hold Bitcoin and 83 million wallets hold Dogecoin. Heritage plans to leverage this growing user base, especially as updated accounting standards simplify crypto asset reporting for businesses. The policy includes detailed governance, reporting, and auditing protocols to manage cryptocurrency operations.

The crypto market is bracing for a bull run as analysts from firms like Fundstrat, BlackRock, Ark Invest, and Standard Chartered raise their Bitcoin forecasts. Arthur Hayes, the founder of BitMEX, predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $1 million, while Ark Invest sees it surging to $2.4 million by 2030. BlackRock forecasts a rise to $700,000, and Standard Chartered expects BTC to hit $200,000 this year. Additionally, crypto.news has published several bullish Bitcoin forecasts, highlighting technical formations such as the cup and handle, bullish flag, and megaphone patterns. Concerns over supply and demand imbalances are also mounting as ETF inflows increase and exchange-held balances decline. Best crypto to buy right now A surge in Bitcoin price is likely to lift other altcoins due to their strong correlation. Some of the best cryptocurrencies to consider buying now are those backed by solid fundamentals, such as pending ETF approvals and expanding ecosystems. These include Solana (SOL), Quant (QNT), Ripple (XRP), and Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR). You might also like:Bitcoin staking protocol Solv unveils RWA-backed token on Avalanche Solana  Solana is a compelling buy right now due to its rapidly growing ecosystem, rising network fees, and increasing odds of spot ETF approval. Meme coins in the Solana ecosystem are now valued at over $15 billion, while decentralized exchanges like Meteora, Orca, and Raydium continue to gain market share. Solana has also become the most active blockchain in the industry, processing over 1.75 billion transactions in the last 30 days. It now boasts 101.7 million active addresses, more than the other top chains combined. Further, odds of the Securities and Exchange Commission approving spot SOL ETFs have jumped to over 80% on Polymarket. As we wrote recently, it has also formed a cup and handle pattern, pointing to a jump to $500. Quant  Quant is another small underdog crypto to buy today ahead of the bull run. It is a major player in the real-world asset tokenization industry because of its Overledger product.  Overledger is an operating system for distributed ledger technologies that enables communication and data transfer between different blockchains. It is almost similar to Chainlink’s (LINK) cross-chain interoperability protocol.  Quant is a good buy because of its strong partnerships with the European Central Bank, Oracle, and Hitachi. QNT balances in exchanges has continued falling, a sign of accumulation. XRP XRP, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, remains a strong buy-and-hold asset. Legal disputes with the SEC have been resolved, and the company is aiming to disrupt the Swift payment network. XRP is also benefiting from the growing market share of Ripple USD, its stablecoin. The XRP Ledger is also expected to grow, especially when the $10 billion a day Hidden Road transactions come online. Like Solana, there is a high chance that the SEC will approve an XRP ETF.JPMorgan anticipates $8 billion in inflows in the first year.

Pi Network token continued to decline on Friday despite positive ecosystem developments. This week’s Pi Network’s (Pi) much-anticipated announcement failed to meet expectations. As of Friday, May 16, the token was down 0.63% to $0.9062, marking a 44% decline from its recent multi-month high of $1.62. The volatility appears to be the result of hype that didn’t deliver. On May 8, the Pi Foundation teased a “major announcement” to be revealed on May 14. The teaser triggered a sharp rally, with Pi surging over 200% in a matter of days to reach its highest level since March 2025. However, once the announcement was made, markets responded with disappointment. 🚀 Huge Day Tomorrow for Pi Network!🔹 Major Ecosystem Announcement: The Pi Core Team is set to unveil big news on May 14, 2025—expect game-changing updates!🔸 Consensus 2025 Begins: Pi Network takes the global stage in Toronto alongside blockchain giants like Ethereum and… pic.twitter.com/6cvEyegUod— Pi Pioneers X (@PiPioneersX) May 13, 2025 The reveal turned out to be a Pi Network venture fund, that will invest $100 million in ecosystem startups.

The token recently broke above a key resistance level at $0.1930—its March high—flipping it into support. Maple Finance token remains above the 50-period exponential moving average, a sign that bulls are in control. However, there are signs that it has become overbought as the Relative Strength Index has moved to 75.  As such, the most likely near-term scenario is a pullback toward the $0.20 support level, followed by a potential continuation of the broader bullish trend.

U.S. stocks opened mixed on Friday, with the S&P 500 looking to clock a fifth consecutive day of gains. As markets opened for the final trading session of the week, Wall Street saw the S&P 500 rise 0.1% to hover near 5,920. The benchmark index, which has posted four straight days of gains, could notch a fifth consecutive win to bolster investor confidence. The S&P 500 is up 4.5% over the past week. Notably, it continues to rally after erasing all of its 2025 losses. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite showed mixed performance. In early trading, the Dow fell 70 points, while the Nasdaq gained more than 0.2%. Week-to-date, the Dow is up 2.6%, and the Nasdaq has climbed 6%. A thawing in the U.S.-China trade tensions, on the back of this week’s announcement of de-escalation measures, also has investors upbeat.  “We’re in the midst of a bear market cycle and this is a very violent but welcome relief rally,” said Katie Stockton, the founder and managing partner of Fairlead Strategies.  Stockton shared her outlook as markets rebounded through the week. Sentiment goes back to President Donald Trump’s announcement of a trade agreement with the United Kingdom and then China.

The benchmark digital asset is currently looking to cement gains above $103k.  With risky assets bouncing, analysts are sharing notable forecasts as a fresh regulatory approach to the sector. Mike Novogratz, the chief executive officer of Galaxy, told CNBC in an interview that President Donald Trump’s administration has so far been great for crypto. Wall Street will be keen on a set of potential market factors on Friday.  Among major areas of focus will be Trump’s tax bill that’s coming up for debate in the House Budget Committee.  Investors will also be keen on the University of Michigan’s highly anticipated consumer sentiment survey.  The May data is in focus after April’s reading indicated a dip in sentiment amid inflation concerns. But with the consumer price index falling, the market’s attention is on how the consumer has taken the tariffs issue in the aftermath of the reciprocal tariffs.

Bitcoin is back above $103,000 and the largest crypto is eyeing a re-test of all-time highs above $109,588. At a time when nearly all tokens in the top 100 cryptocurrencies ranked by market cap are in the green, the market is abuzz with the debate of whether to stay or sell and go away in May? Millionaire exits are not uncommon in crypto and the meme coin bull run in 2024 was marked by Solana-based (SOL) meme token exits by traders. As Bitcoin (BTC) eyes a return to its all-time high, riding on the bullish sentiment from recent catalysts, macroeconomic certainty, U.S. trade deals with the UK and China and rising institutional demand and acceptance of stablecoin and BTC, a crypto exit plan is more relevant than ever before this cycle.  Table of ContentsMeme coin millionaire’s missed exitStay in May or sell and go away?Bitcoin and altcoin summer outlook Expert commentary Meme coin millionaire’s missed exit Glauber Contessoto, popular as the Dogecoin (DOGE) millionaire, who maxed out credit cards and spent his savings to buy $250,000 worth of DOGE in February 2021. Contessoto has also gained notoriety as the man who once held nearly $3 million in DOGE and lost his gains when the crypto market tanked in 2022.  Contessoto inspired fast-acting traders to take profits when the token nears a potential peak. On-chain data from Santiment shows that for the top three meme coins, DOGE, Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe (PEPE), over the past year, a large volume of traders have realized gains close to, or soon after a local top.  The large spikes in profit-taking nearly coincide with local tops as seen in the chart below:  Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Pepe network realized profit/loss and price | Source: Santiment It is therefore becoming increasingly necessary to take profits near local tops, typically alongside Bitcoin’s local tops, as seen in the price chart below.  Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Pepe price chart | Source: TradingView You might also like:Bitcoin slows down near $104,700 as price consolidates inside a range Stay in May or sell and go away? There is a popular stock market theory that says the market tends to underperform in the six months between May and October, leading to the old adage of “Sell and go away in May.” The same does not stand entirely true for cryptocurrencies as the category of tokens is more prone to volatility and price swings, relative to the stock market.  With Bitcoin back above the $100,000 milestone, a successful implementation of Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade and the rising stablecoin volume, it doesn’t look like the crypto sector will slow down.  Bitcoin could revisit its all-time high and Ethereum could rally nearly 20% to re-test its psychologically important $3,000 level in May 2025. Meme coins, AI tokens, utility tokens and altcoins could begin their recovery soon, following in Bitcoin’s footsteps as institutional investors show interest in relevant sectors in the crypto market.  Selling and going away may not be the best bet, when staying put, or taking profits adds more value to traders’ portfolios.  Bitcoin and altcoin summer outlook  Bitcoin monthly returns chart from Coinglass shows BTC has yielded gains for holders between 3-5 months from June to December of 2023 and 2024.

Expert commentary James Toledano, Chief Operating Officer at Unity Wallet shared his thoughts on Bitcoin’s current price action and whether it is in line with market expectations. Toledano said,  “Bitcoin’s current price behavior appears to be moving in line with market expectations. Anything over $100,000 is a win as we look for stabilization and price support at this level. After peaking at $109,000 in January, Bitcoin has maintained a tight trading range near $104,000 over the past week, suggesting a phase of healthy consolidation.  The dip over the past 24 hours reflects normal market volatility rather than a structural concern —there have been no market shocks, and any fluctuations appear to be demand and supply economics in action.” The executive believes that the leveling off noted in the top crypto is a sign of increasing macroeconomic caution and this may have prompted some investors to rotate into top-tier altcoins like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana.  Capital rotation may be a real phenomenon in the ongoing Bitcoin bull market and the token’s current stabilization points to a maturing asset class that is absorbing prior gains while awaiting fresh catalysts and inputs.  Ruslan Lienkha, chief of markets, YouHodler said: “The upward momentum in equity markets has moderated following the conclusion of tariff negotiations, as short-term traders began locking in profits, triggering corrective movements. This shift in sentiment has spilled over into riskier assets, including Bitcoin.  As a result, the current pullback appears to be a correction within a broader medium-term uptrend. However, ongoing global economic uncertainty and persistently high interest rates in the U.S. may act as headwinds, potentially capping the upside potential of this trend.” Lienkha noted his concerns of capped gains in Bitcoin and cryptos as the market faces the likelihood of high interest rates for longer in the U.S. Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
