On Friday, Bitcoin's price surged toward the $84,000 level, briefly surpassing $85,000, lifting the spirits of the crypto community.
This positive shift has reignited interest from key players, including major institutions like BlackRock, which has been particularly active in the ETF market.
According to Arkham Intelligence, which monitors large financial transactions, BlackRock recently purchased $25 million worth of Bitcoin from Coinbase Prime. This move came after a period of outflows from PTS ETFs, which had created some downward pressure in the market. The injection of fresh capital is seen as a positive sign, helping to stabilize the market.
While Friday’s gains are typical, the weekend remains a crucial period for market movement. Sentiment is largely bullish, but caution lingers as investors stay alert to potential volatility. Bitcoin has demonstrated resilience, consistently holding around the $80,000 mark, signaling strong support.
Concerns about a “tariff war” remain, raising fears of a larger drop if trade tensions escalate. However, analysts are generally optimistic, anticipating a potential surge if the sentiment shifts more favorably.
Adding to the optimism is Michael Saylor’s ambitious $21 billion proposal, which, if successful, could create significant market movement. As the cryptocurrency space builds momentum, it seems poised for a quick response to any positive developments.
As Bitcoin continues its steady ascent in 2025, comparisons with the world’s largest assets are once again gaining traction.
Bitcoin is treading water near the $120,000 resistance, with persistent bids around $116,000 offering a firm base—but failing to ignite fresh upside momentum.
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy, has revealed that the company has acquired an additional 21,021 Bitcoin for approximately $2.46 billion, paying an average price of $117,256 per BTC.
As Bitcoin continues to consolidate above $100K, a critical market signal is flashing: BTC funding rates remain elevated, even as price action cools.
