BTC Sentiment Poll for May

[Popkon6]

In the past, the price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $109K, but this May, it broke the $109K ATH and touched $111.9K. It is indeed the highest price of all time at the moment, but I prefer the price of Bitcoin to be in the 100K plus price range, and the possibility of the price of Bitcoin reaching a peak of further improvement is very high at the moment.
I can estimate the price of Bitcoin to be between $130K and $150K, which is definitely more likely to go next month, as the price of Bitcoin increases, many weak hands may sell their Bitcoin holdings. Those who will sell Bitcoin at the moment are basically living in a fool's paradise, they should hold on to Bitcoin holdings more tightly.

Bitcoin price could go higher this year but remember there are no guarantees, the opposite could also happen. So I don't see anything wrong with someone selling their bitcoins right now as long as they follow their plan and are happy with the profits they make.

To me, a real fool is someone who holds bitcoin forever and never sells because the purpose of investing in bitcoin is profit, not turning it into a cult and worshiping it until death.
Buy or sell, to continue holding or to sell is each person's decision as long as they feel comfortable, there is nothing wrong or stupid here.

Ok so the touted Hyperliquid 'mad whale' closed his ETH and PEPE longs for 25m USD profit and is all in his BTC long for 1.172b.  Yeah, that over a billion long position all in on BTC.  It's causing quite a stir at CT with almost everyone saying that he will be liquidated.  Lol.

I'd say that will surely be a test for the Hyperliquid perps DEX if it could handle all that money in their order book.  I'm more excited about that more than anything as if it passes with flying colors it could be a kind of a step forward for crypto.

From the beginning of this year 2025 I have stopped making attempts at predicting monthly bitcoin price, this is because on multiple occasions, bitcoin have not followed our widely speculated price predictions, in this year alone, bitcoin have made multiple all time high price marke, and is not stopping any time soon, the bull is about to begin it high momentum raise.


When bitcoin did the $109k ATH benchmark many predicted that we are going to see a significant crash in price, but that did not happened and instead we saw another ATH again and possibly a new ATH in the coming week.

[tokeweed]

So it looks like our bull whale at Hyperliquid has turned into a bear.  He now has over 800m short position opened at 107,057.20 USD.  Liquidation price is at 111,280 USD and he's currently down around 4.2m USD.  Loool. 

Amazing how all this could be seen onchain.

This is like entertainment for degens.  Kinda like rail heaven during the poker boom at Fulltilt Poker.  Those were the days...  But I guess most of you weren't really into poker back then.

Considering the historical value of Bitcoin, it has increased to its highest value in 2025, the price of Bitcoin reached $111,814 in this month, but this month it is not expected to Bitcoin reaching 120k in this month. However, investors can continue to invest, because Bitcoin can reach 120k in the coming months. If it can be accepted reliably, as Bitcoin is just the beginning and therefore it is very important to have a long-term view of Bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin may increase relatively more in June, which will attract investors. As the price of Bitcoin increases, investors will increase their confidence and enthusiasm for Bitcoin, which will increase their interest in investing in the future.

[pawel7777]

With 5 days to go, May is +16% in green, the goal of achieving the new ATH is met, now, the question is if we'll see it reaching $120k, which some expected to be the next stop (before a possible pull back).
I think it's quite possible. If not this month, then maybe in early June, but it will be contingent on the macroeconomic news.

The Bitcoin Bull Run Index (CBBI) is currently showing 79, meaning the market is not yet overhead. Although I think it's important to remind that the index was showing a score of only 81 during the prior cycle's ATH, it was showing signs of overheating during the first of the two peaks in 2021.

[tokeweed]

^  Yeah June will be interesting.  Historically I'm not sure if June mostly ends in the green or in the red, so yeah 115k - 120k could be a good price range for next month's poll. 

Let's see what's gonna happen in the final days of May tho.  Things could go hot from here and move up really fast.

Anyway, does anybody have one of those diagrams if BTC ends green or red in a particular month?  That would come handy.

Take a look at this one, I think I know what you want:

Bitcoin Monthly returns(%): https://www.coinglass.com/today

Based on monthly returns, May was a green month based on that data with an average return of +8.61%. While in June, the market looked red and I really don't expect that this year. But nothing is certain, the market is too volatile and we both know what the risks are.

[STT]

April and May both had a good uptrend to them, its faltered at times but corrected with a positive resolution especially recently I dont see we have any excuse to not be positive at this point.
    Above the old ATH area, I would only start to judge negative resolution for this month if we could end below 108 then trend down to 100 etc.   its not doing that so its surprisingly positive without needing more time to work out sellers in this area.
  The more volume we put into this 108k area and also keep ending the week above that price point, the more its like cement setting and it will become support leading to good gains later is my guess.  Its all relative but so far so good.

That's the one!  Thanks...  And it looks like June is on average -0.35.  So if that's any indication, there's a small chance that the price would end up in the red.  Which would suck.  Lol.

I'm trying to think of a nice poll for next month's thread.  Anybody have some suggestions?  Just post them itt.  

The Hyperliquid mad whale is kinda bad at trading according to some guys at the twitz.  He's now long BTC opened at 109k.  Lol.

[pawel7777]

We had another small pullback today, we're currently down -2.13% from the opening price. That's despite some positive factors, like vice-president's (JD Vance) appearance on the Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas, or news about Trump Media's plans to raise $2.5 billion to invest in bitcoin:
https://www.reuters.com/business/trump-media-raise-25-billion-fund-bitcoin-treasury-2025-05-27/

I guess it takes much more than that to move the price up (and keep it there for a while).
Maybe the drop to low $107k could be a good entry point for those who panic-sold earlier (i.e. during the correction) and are considering buying back in. They won't make any huge returns, but a quick 10%-20% is still worthwhile.

May, has been quite an eventful month for Bitcoin we have seen a new ATH and it has retraced a bit, no major dip and I'm not expecting much in this month, seeing that it's remaining two days left. If what we're seeing now replicates in June, I don't think that much will change because it has been resistance and corrections so far. But I'm hopeful that June, will be more bullish and a couple of ATH can follow, we just need some positive news to push demand for Bitcoin. $130 and $150k are quite feasible next month but it won't just happen on its own, we need fundamentals to drive it.

Well when you are that much of a whale, then you will have some bad results at times so we should not be focusing on if he is 100% right, he will be bad at sometimes. I know that would not be great but we are going to see him do better overall if he is rich, or if he can stay rich. To be fair, a 1+ billion dollar thing is still quite weird to me, and I am pretty sure that all other whales, will try to crash the price as much as they possibly could, in order to cash him out, then we can see it go up more.

We need to realize how big a billion dollars is, that's enough money to live an incredibly wealthy live forever, and not just normal, I mean wealthy live, spend 60 million dollars a year, as in literally 5 million a month, and you would still not end it, because of your investments to even simplest ones, and the vast amount of money you have.

[ShowOff]

Bitcoin is testing the $105k support level now, but I don't know how deep it will drop until today's close. Bitcoin seems to be under quite a bit of selling pressure since its new ATH was hit, and the whales' accumulation news doesn't seem to have a significant impact on the market. The high selling interest has caused the price to correct again, it's like a panic wave heading into the next month.

Some people may believe that bitcoin's monthly cycle always repeats itself, that's why they start selling before reorganizing their investments. I personally am not selling now, but unfortunately I can't accumulate. In fact, bitcoin managed to break a new ATH in May and now seems to be preparing for a potential correction at the end of the month.

[pawel7777]

Has the old saying "sell in May and go away" proven true for Bitcoin, or is it just a normal pullback?
We dipped as low as $103,713 today, so not the direction many have expected (myself included).

There have been some bearish news about cryptographic algorithms being less secure than initially thought, and much fewer qubits in quantum computers would be needed to break them, which could cause some panic, although I don't think that news was widely spread. Source:

I'm not sure that this is the case with this dip. Even if I don't like it and I wanted the opposite direction (like you and many others), it was a bit expected to see a pullback. Maybe not that fast like the end of this month, but it was expected that we would have a "correction". And since it happens at this point, the question is whether it will go even lower or will hold there and rebound? Tough call for now.

Yeah, as we have seen before, we can't really go on parabolic rise, sooner or later there will be a pullback. But it's not that big of a correction though unlike in the previous months. It means that investors are still here in the market and probably we will slow down this weekend. In any case, we are still close to +10% at the end of the month, still a good indication I will say. So just remain calm I guess, and then continue to buy as long as we have the budget and then HODL. That is the best strategy, just sharp and smart and not let go on our focus to accumulate and stack sats specially during a dip.

Yes, very much similar on the discussion I had with @pooya87, this bull market is very much different from the bull market that we have witnessed before. If these types of news updates were released on 2021, bitcoin will certainly pump very strongly and altcoins will pump on a very much more higher percentage than bitcoin. This present market is headshaking and the people on social media appear to be not as bullish as 2021.

Those who sell at $111k or at $110k and the amount of USD obtained from selling at that price is again used to buy Bitcoin today, their portfolio will increase again.
I can't say that the saying “sell in May and go away” is wrong, because the fact that today is May 31 as the end of May that the intention is at the door is true.

$103,713 is a happy price for those who took action when Bitcoin reached $111k or $110k.
