According to chart analysis released by independent analyst Markus Thielen, Bitcoin’s price action in April followed seasonal patterns almost perfectly: its actual gain exceeded the historical average. Yet at that time, the market had not reached a broad consensus on bullish sentiment. While investor mood was cautiously optimistic, positions were not significantly increased; low trading volume and persistently negative funding rates indicated that many traders remained on the sidelines. Entering May, Bitcoin’s rebound above $80,000 caught numerous investors off guard—further confirming the market’s prior under-allocation. Historical data shows May is a relatively stable month for Bitcoin: over the past 10 years, its average return has been approximately 10.3%, with six years posting gains. Seasonal support remains intact—but whether positions will increase accordingly remains a key variable.

According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Specter, the Wasabi Protocol attacker has deposited all stolen funds into Tornado Cash, moving approximately $5.9 million into Tornado Cash. Additionally, North Korean hacking groups have also used Tornado Cash to launder stolen funds from KelpDAO and LayerZero. Their process involved first cross-chaining the assets to Bitcoin, then routing them through Wasabi Mixer, extracting and cross-chaining back to Ethereum, depositing into Tornado Cash, subsequently withdrawing to new wallets and dispersing across multiple addresses. The new wallets then deployed tokens, used the stolen funds to buy in, removed liquidity from the deployment wallet, cross-chained to Tron (USDT), held for several hours or days, and finally sent to OTC-related wallets.
According to FinanceFeeds, cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have recently recorded strong inflows. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw single-day net inflows exceeding $600 million, reflecting sustained institutional demand for allocating digital assets via regulated investment vehicles. Specifically, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) continues to dominate, posting approximately $284 million in single-day net inflows and remaining the primary vehicle for institutional Bitcoin allocation. Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund also contributed significantly to inflows, helping push total ETF demand above $600 million. Inflows are concentrated among a few major issuers, underscoring the importance of liquidity, scale, and brand trust in attracting institutional capital—BlackRock and Fidelity products have consistently accounted for the majority of total ETF inflows since launch.

According to Odaily, on-chain analyst Yu Jin monitored that Strategy (MSTR), the bitcoin treasury company, did not purchase BTC last week, which is unusual for them. They currently still hold a total of 818,334 BTC ($64.413 billion), with an average cost price of $75,537, resulting in an unrealized profit of $2.598 billion (+4.2%).Bitmine (BMNR), the Ethereum treasury company, purchased 101,745 ETH ($235 million) at a price of approximately $2,311 last week.

QCP Capital stated in its analysis that after a solid performance in April, Bitcoin continued its strong momentum in early May, breaking through the $80,000 mark for the first time since January 31. Spot ETF inflows remain a significant positive factor, recording approximately $163 million in net inflows last week. Despite Strategy pausing its Bitcoin purchases this week, BTC still managed to rise, indicating that market momentum is no longer solely dependent on the "HODL narrative" and is instead gradually shifting towards broader capital support. The key going forward is whether BTC can effectively hold above the CME gap range of $82,000 to $83,000, which will serve as the core watershed for the continuation of the short-term uptrend.
OdailyOdaily reported that Bitcoin has broken through the $80,000 mark, rising approximately 2.6% in 24 hours to $80,150, driving the overall crypto market higher. ETH rose 3.6%, and XRP rose 2%. Nick Ruck, Director of LVRG Research, stated that this breakthrough shattered the key resistance zone that had been suppressing prices over the weekend, with short-term momentum clearly turning stronger. Meanwhile, Dominick John, an analyst at Zeus Research, noted that the upward price movement was accompanied by a technical short squeeze.On the capital front, U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs have recorded net inflows for the fifth consecutive week, attracting approximately $154 million last week, indicating continuously strengthening institutional allocation demand. Analysts believe that if the capital inflow trend continues and is compounded by macroeconomic uncertainties, Bitcoin may maintain strong volatility in the short term. The market will closely monitor the impact of subsequent economic data and shifts in risk sentiment on the price trend. (The Block)
Odaily Strategy founder Michael Saylor posted on X yesterday stating that the company will suspend its routine weekly Bitcoin purchase plan this week, marking the second time this year it has paused weekly accumulation.To date, Strategy holds a total of 818,334 BTC, representing approximately 3.9% of Bitcoin's total supply. Data from Saylortracker shows that as Bitcoin staged a strong rebound today, breaking through the $80,000 mark, the total market value of BTC held by Strategy has returned to above $65 billion, currently standing at $65.74 billion. The average cost price is $75,537, with an unrealized profit of $3.926 billion.Strategy is expected to announce its Q1 earnings on Tuesday, with the market anticipating a loss per share of $18.98, higher than the loss of $16.38 per share in the same period last year. Its ongoing coin purchases are primarily financed through stock (MSTR) and perpetual preferred stock. Among these, the high-dividend product STRC (annualized yield approximately 11.5%) has raised concerns among some analysts regarding structural risks, though others argue that this model can convert yield demands into long-term Bitcoin exposure.
