What is happening with Bitcoin**

On the morning of May 12, 2025, Bitcoin traded above $105,000 for the first time since January 31. After reaching a local maximum, BTC corrected. At the time of writing the review, the cryptocurrency is trading at $103,921.

Reasons for Bitcoin’s Growth

1. Positive forecasts from the Fed. Bitcoin started to rise actively against the backdrop of another decision by the Fed regarding the interest rate. Although the regulator kept the rate at the same level, the market reacted positively to the news. Many believe that in light of a possible recession in the US, the Fed will be forced to start the “printing press”. Newly printed dollars, as observations show, often settle in the crypto market, pushing the BTC rate up.

Also, participants of the crypto community predict the approach of the Fed’s transition to lowering the key rate. Changes may push the crypto market to grow. The fact is that lowering the key interest rate increases the investment attractiveness of high-risk assets such as crypto. Let us remind you that the rate reduction is lobbied by U.S. President Donald Trump.

2. Decrease in tension on the geopolitical stage. Another positive driver was the news that a preliminary agreement on the de-escalation of the trade war has been reached between the USA and China. The parties reached agreements during a meeting in Geneva.

Let us remind you that against the backdrop of the tariff war unleashed by Trump at the beginning of 2025, Bitcoin temporarily fell to $75,000. The reduction of tensions between the US and China eliminates potential shocks that could cause the markets to collapse again.

3. Growth of M2. The probability of the continued growth of BTC is also indicated by the dynamics of global liquidity (M2). Observations show that bitcoin repeats the movements of M2 with a lag of approximately 3 months. The already realized growth of global liquidity, according to crypto enthusiasts, guarantees BTC’s movement towards new highs.

4. Whales are accumulating BTC. Large investors are buying bitcoins against the backdrop of the cryptocurrency’s price rise. Whales are also actively withdrawing BTC from exchanges. This behavior of investors indicates their unwillingness to part with the coins and their belief in the prospects for its price growth.

At the same time, participants in the crypto community warn that some of the attention focused on Bitcoin may be stolen by altcoins. In their opinion, the market is on the brink of an altseason. Therefore, part of the liquidity from BTC may flow into altcoins.

Goals for Bitcoin Growth

One of the main topics for discussion in the crypto community today is the growth targets of Bitcoin. Many believe that the cryptocurrency is preparing to update the all-time high from January 20, 2025 ($109 114).

Analyst MartyParty is confident that BTC is heading towards $125,000. He explained his bitcoin forecast by the results of the technical analysis of the cryptocurrency chart. In his opinion, BTC is moving within the Wyckoff accumulation phase. According to the analyst, the exit from it will lead bitcoin to $125,000. He marked the assumed trajectory of the cryptocurrency’s movement on the chart. The markup implies an increase of BTC to $125,000 during May.

Many participants in the crypto community agree with MartyParty. However, some representatives of the crypto industry give more optimistic forecasts. For example, analyst Fred Krueger believes that BTC is on the verge of rising to $150,000. He is confident that Bitcoin can cover the distance of $100,000-$150,000 in the shortest possible time.
