Bitcoin surged past $105,000, reacting to the latest Fed interest rate decision.
The BTC price rally was also fueled by Trump’s fintech and crypto push.
Let’s check why Bitcoin is surging and what the newest BTC price predictions are.
Bitcoin price prediction for 2025, 2026, 2030 and beyond, May 2025 edition
The world's
leading cryptocurrency continues its impressive run, reaching new heights as
Bitcoin (BTC) price surged past $105,500 on Thursday. This remarkable price
action comes amid two significant developments that have reshaped market
sentiment.
Why is Bitcoin Surging? Federal
Reserve's Steady Hand
The Federal
Reserve's (Fed’s) latest policy decision has provided a strong foundation for
Bitcoin's upward momentum. In a widely anticipated move, the central bank
maintained interest rates at 4.25%-4.50%, demonstrating a cautious approach to
monetary policy. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's measured stance, emphasizing no
rush to implement further rate adjustments, has created a stable environment
for risk assets.
While
Powell noted that the policy stance is "well-calibrated," the
cryptocurrency market has interpreted this patience as a positive signal. The
Fed's acknowledgment of stable unemployment and improving inflation readings
has reinforced investor confidence in digital assets.
Trump Media's Crypto
Embrace
A second
major catalyst for Bitcoin's surge emerged from an unexpected quarter. Trump
Media and Technology Group's announcement of Truth.Fi, its new fintech venture,
has injected fresh enthusiasm into the crypto market.
The
company's decision to allocate up to $250 million of its $700 million cash
reserves to various investments, including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies,
represents a significant institutional endorsement.
Why is Bitcoin Going Up?
BTC Price Reaches Weekly Highs
The
combined effect of these developments has been substantial. Bitcoin
demonstrated remarkable resilience, first climbing 2.42% to $103,747 on
Wednesday, followed by an additional 1.7% gain today, reaching an intraday high
of $105,563. This price action suggests growing institutional confidence in
cryptocurrency as a legitimate asset class.

My
technical analysis reveals that Bitcoin is once again approaching the upper
boundary of a consolidation pattern that has been forming over the past two
months. The chart shows a potentially concerning double top formation, which
could activate if BTC price corrects and breaks below the lower boundary of the
sideways movement around $90-92 thousand. This could potentially open the path
for a correction toward the November lows near $70 thousand.
However, I
currently view this as a distant scenario. As
long as the $100 thousand level continues to act as support, I lean more
towards potential retests of the upper consolidation boundary and attempts to
establish new all-time highs above $108 thousand.
The
cryptocurrency market appears to be entering a new phase of maturity. The Fed's
measured approach to monetary policy provides a stable backdrop for continued
growth, while increasing institutional adoption through initiatives like
Truth.Fi suggests broader mainstream acceptance.
Bitcoin Price Prediction:
$117K Soon
Bitcoin's
price trajectory continues to show remarkable strength, with analysts
projecting potential movement between $95,000 and $117,000 in the coming weeks.
This forecast comes amid significant market developments and institutional
interest.
Vugar Usi Zade, Bitget's COO
Vugar Usi
Zade, Bitget's COO, offers a particularly bullish perspective on Bitcoin's
future: "Given Bitcoin's scarcity, with a total supply of 21 million, and
its narrative as digital gold, in the long term, with more funds flowing in and
market maturation, Bitcoin is expected to exhibit a steadily rising price trend.”
While the
market shows strong bullish indicators, Usi Zade adds a note of caution:
"Despite the broader market participation brought by the ETF approval,
investors should still be aware of Bitcoin's volatility and risks due to
regulatory policies and susceptibility to macroeconomic factors, regulatory
changes, and market sentiment.”
Bitcoin is
surging due to two key factors: the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain
interest rates at 4.25%-4.50%, which has created a stable environment for risk
assets, and Trump Media and Technology Group’s new fintech initiative,
Truth.Fi, which signals increased institutional adoption. Additionally, Trump’s
pro-crypto stance and the company's allocation of up to $250 million in crypto
investments have further boosted market sentiment.
What will Bitcoin be worth
in 2025?
Analysts
have projected that Bitcoin could reach new highs in 2025, with some estimates
suggesting prices could exceed $200,000. While shorter-term forecasts place
Bitcoin between $95,000 and $117,000, the long-term outlook remains bullish,
supported by increasing institutional interest and Bitcoin’s scarcity.
Is Bitcoin expected to
rise?
Yes,
Bitcoin is expected to continue rising, with analysts predicting potential
price increases driven by institutional adoption, ETF approvals, and favorable
macroeconomic conditions. However, volatility remains a factor, with risks tied
to regulatory policies, market sentiment, and macroeconomic factors. Despite
possible corrections, the long-term trend for Bitcoin is expected to remain
upward.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
