Once upon a shocking May morning, Bitcoin woke up, yawned, and—wouldn’t you know it?—leapt over $96,000 for the first time since February. That’s right, one giant hop, as if it had discovered a stash of Wonka’s Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delights tucked under the sofa.
By tea-time, Bitcoin strutted past $97,000 (nearly 30% above its April basement price), while investors everywhere collectively flung caution to the wind and started buying digital gold like Easter eggs. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index burst up to 55—a sure sign everyone’s either greedy or just desperately optimistic. Meanwhile, American stocks partied with the Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100 both leaping 350 points—clearly, even the stock market fancied some spring gymnastics. But why is everyone so jumpy? Let’s break it down with three delectable, Dahl-esque reasons Bitcoin could skip all the way to $100,000 shiny coins or even higher in May.
1. The Death Cross Did NOT Cross—Miracle or Mischief? 💀
First up, the so-called “death cross” (a tragically dramatic name) tried to spook everyone in April. Normally, if the 50-day moving average sneaks below the 200-day, that’s when traders start muttering about doom and gloom. But this time, dear reader, it got stage fright and backed away. In fact, the same thing happened last September, which led to Bitcoin going nearly double—an 83% rise, in fact! It’s almost as if Bitcoin’s allergic to following scripts.
Technical charts have been more optimistic than a chocolate factory on Easter. There’s a double-bottom at $76,560 (sounds comfy), and it’s now over the neckline at $88,830—if you have no idea what that means, picture Bitcoin wearing a very dramatic shirt. It’s also blitzed past a cheerful bullish flag (those flags wave more than a parade on Pancake Day). In short: all the technical doodads are pointing up, up, up!
2. The Grown-Ups Have Arrived (With Giant Wallets) 🏦
Next reason: The big money has entered the room, and they’re buying Bitcoin like it’s the golden ticket. In April alone, spot Bitcoin ETFs gobbled up $2.9 billion (yes, with a “b”), pushing the piggy bank to more than $39 billion in total. If that’s not a classic tale of big, greedy giants counting their coins, I don’t know what is.
As if that weren’t gobsmacking enough, companies like Cantor Fitzgerald, Tether, and SoftBank have joined forces (a sort of financial Avengers, but with worse costumes) to create “Twenty One”—a business dedicated to piling up Bitcoins like Augustus Gloop in a candy vat. And if you think that’s strange, Trump Media and GameStop have announced buying sprees too—because who needs sensible investments when you can have fun instead?
Companies are falling for Bitcoin the way Grandpa Joe fell out of bed—suddenly and with a lot of fanfare. Ever since Trump’s “Liberation Day” speech, Bitcoin has been sprinting past stocks and just about everything else.
3. The Trump-and-Fed Show, Featuring ‘Surprise Pivots’ 🎩
Last, but definitely not least, the economic circus keeps getting wilder. The Federal Reserve and Donald Trump are taking the main stage after economic data showed consumers were about as confident as Mr. Wormwood in a spelling bee. Private sector job creation barely squeaked to 61,000 jobs instead of the hoped-for 121,000, and the US economy shrank for the first time in ages—cue shocked gasps and clutching of pearls.
What do you get when the economy goes wonky? Politicians and central bankers scrambling for solutions like Oompa Loompas after a fudge disaster. Trump might skip off to negotiate trade deals, and the Fed may decide, “Why not cut interest rates?”—in other words, more candy for everyone!
With risks taking a backseat, risky assets like Bitcoin find themselves in the spotlight—ready for an encore of unrestrained mayhem, magic, and mischief. Will Bitcoin break the all-time high? Well, that’s a tale to watch. Just remember: in the world of crypto, you’re never more than one wild card away from a new adventure. 🕺
