The crypto market kicked off last week with a total cap of $2.74 trillion and ended on a stronger note at $2.95 trillion, driven by Bitcoin’s impressive rally past $95,000. Ethereum also gained ground, while DeFi volumes and stablecoin dominance remained steady. Market sentiment hovered in the 'Neutral' zone, but growing institutional interest, major ETF inflows, and hints of new U.S. economic policies kept traders upbeat. As Bitcoin holds firm above $93,000 and altcoins like Pudgy Penguins gain traction, the coming days promise more action and volatility.

Before we proceed further, readers should note that the overall crypto market and coin prices are extremely volatile. There are no foolproof methods to ascertain how cryptocurrencies are expected to behave in the future.

Crypto Events To Note

Bitcoin surged past $95,000 on Friday night for the first time in two months and is currently trading around $93,200, staying above key moving averages. US spot BTC ETFs also saw $3.06 billion in inflows last week, boosting market optimism. President Donald Trump hinted at potential federal income tax cuts linked to new trade tariffs, a move that could shake markets today.

Bitcoin’s uptrend could drive prices toward $124,000, with institutional demand and macro factors strengthening bullish sentiment. Sathvik Vishwanath, CEO of Unocoin, noted Bitcoin’s resilience above $93,000, suggesting $94,600 as the next breakout point.

Regulatory clarity from the US SEC will further boost crypto adoption. Despite weekend volatility, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other top coins held strong, with select altcoins like Pudgy Penguins and Walrus among top gainers.

What Crypto Traders Are Saying About Current Market Scenario

Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live, “Bitcoin is trading range-bound between $93,000 and $95,000 as bulls and bears battle for control at higher levels. However, market sentiment remains positive, supported by robust Bitcoin spot ETF inflows, standing at $3.02 billion in the past week, reaching a 5-month high. Additionally, Ethereum ETFs logged their first net weekly inflows since February, suggesting a clear shift in institutional appetite for digital assets. If this trend continues, strong institutional demand could push Bitcoin towards the $100,000 milestone. Meanwhile, upcoming US and Euro GDP data next week may influence broader investor sentiment.”
