On that fateful Tuesday afternoon, while everyone was nervously glancing at their coffee cups, Bitcoin made a small but thrilling leap of 2.6%, brushing past the $105,000 threshold like it was just another day in the park. Meanwhile, the altcoins, the underdogs of the crypto world, decided to steal the spotlight, because why not? ETH surged by a bold 8.5%, SOL advanced by 5.9%, and even DOGE, that beloved meme coin, made a respectable 4.8% jump.
Bitcoin’s Growing Role: A Macro Adventure
As if this whole crypto thing weren’t complicated enough, the wider crypto market followed suit, climbing by a solid 3.12%, reaching $3.39 trillion by 5 p.m. Eastern. Bitcoin, ever the drama queen, danced from $102.5K to $104,997 before meeting a serious barricade near the $105,000 line—because apparently, it likes to play hard to get. But it didn’t hurt when Twenty One Capital made a grand announcement about acquiring 4,812 BTC. Yes, you read that right, 4,812 of them. ETH, on the other hand, passed $2,700 earlier in the day, before modestly pulling back but still clinging to an impressive 8.5% gain.
Meanwhile, total trading volume across this wild digital jungle reached a modest $144.79 billion, a decrease of 18.56% compared to Monday’s frenzy. But, in a stunning plot twist, while ETH, SOL, and DOGE had their shine, a few altcoins came out of nowhere. Ethena’s ENA skyrocketed by 14.4%, KAS leaped 12.44%, and SPX saw an 11.79% improvement. As of May 13, the altcoin market holds a valuation of $1.311 trillion. Who knew?
This week, the wise analysts at Bitfinex noted that optimism surrounding the Federal Reserve, along with decreased worries about U.S. tariffs, have once again revived investor sentiment. With Bitcoin now comfortably past the $100,000 mark, it’s clear that this digital asset has more staying power than your last New Year’s resolution.
“The Fed’s positive talk about rate trajectories and some clarity on tariffs has allowed a breath of fresh air into the market. This has sparked renewed bullish enthusiasm for Bitcoin,” Bitfinex analysts proclaimed, as though they had been waiting for this moment their whole lives. “This environment, where equities remain more sensitive to tightening liquidity conditions, is creating a favorable backdrop for BTC.”
And just to add a cherry on top of this thrilling story, the market strategists had this to say:
Bitcoin’s decisive move beyond $100,000 highlights its increasing role as a macro-sensitive asset with asymmetrical upside potential. It may not only confirm the strength of the recovery but also set the stage for a fresh push toward new all-time highs. The drama continues.
