The last time Bitcoin crossed the $100,000 threshold was on February 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This upward movement comes amid a shift in market dynamics, particularly in the spot markets, where demand has increased. This suggests a transition towards momentum trading, rather than the previous trend driven primarily by macroeconomic factors such as inflation and tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETH) have attracted significant inflows, with over $3.2 billion entering the market last week alone. Notably, BlackRock\u2019s Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) recorded nearly $1.5 billion in inflows, marking its highest weekly intake for the year, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-05-01\/bitcoin-approaches-100-000-after-breaking-through-10-week-high\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">data <\/a>from Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<h2>ETH Eyes Recovery Toward $2,000<\/h2>\n<p>Demand for upside options has also surged in the market, with call options at the $100,000 strike price exhibiting the most open interest across various expiration dates, according to Coinglass and data from the largest crypto options exchange, Deribit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarket sentiment has broadly shifted in favor of momentum-based trades fueled by spot demand, as BTC breaches levels not seen since early February,\u201d stated Chris Newhouse, director of research at Ergonia, a decentralized finance (DeFi) trading firm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBTC continues to shift between correlations with gold and equities, highlighting a more nuanced relationship with macroeconomic factors balanced by short-term momentum and spot demand,\u201d Newhouse further told Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum, on the other hand, has shown a steady recovery over the past week, reinforcing its status as a key player in the decentralized finance sector and smart contract platforms, and regaining the foothold lost in the first quarter of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Improvements from Ethereum&#8217;s scalability upgrades, including the transition to Ethereum 2.0, have boosted performance and made the platform more attractive to developers and users.<\/p>\n<p>However, this has not translated into year-to-date gains for the second largest cryptocurrency compared to its peers, with losses of up to 36% over the period.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the price of ETH has seen a 14% surge in the fourteen day time frame, regaining the $1,800 level as a key support to boost the potential for further recovery towards $2,000.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/7LzkHynN\/\" alt=\"Bitcoin\" width=\"1814\" height=\"858\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The market\u2019s largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), is once again nearing the $100,000 milestone, following a significant rally that has seen the cryptocurrency reach its highest price since late February.\u00a0 After experiencing downward pressure attributed to Donald Trump\u2019s tariff policies, which triggered a sell-off across both the stock and digital asset markets, Bitcoin&#8217;s resurgence showcases a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4541,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[56,55,69,250,61,120,121,70,456,62,36,42,95,64,66,67],"class_list":["post-4540","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bitcoin-news","tag-bitcoin","tag-bitcoin-news","tag-bitcoin-price","tag-bitcoin-technical-analysis","tag-btc","tag-btc-news","tag-btc-price","tag-btcusd","tag-btcusd-price","tag-btcusdt","tag-crypto","tag-crypto-analyst","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-eth","tag-ethereum","tag-ethusd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4540","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4540"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4540\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4540"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4540"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/coinsvalue.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4540"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
