BTC/USD (Bitcoin) Analysis Report – May 8, 2025
I. Fundamental Analysis
1. Macro & Market Environment
a. Bitcoin Halving Impact (April 2024)
The most recent halving occurred just over a year ago.
Historically, Bitcoin enters a supply-driven bullish cycle 6–18 months post-halving.
Current supply-side pressure from miners is lower, supporting price stability above $60k.
b. Institutional Participation
ETFs (Spot BTC ETFs) continue to see net inflows, especially from U.S. and European
institutional portfolios.
Major institutions (BlackRock, Fidelity, ARK) remain active in BTC markets through ETF
exposure and custody services.
Crypto index funds and AI-trading strategies have added BTC as a macro hedge.
c. Global Economic Landscape
Bitcoin benefits from macro uncertainty:
o Fed's delayed rate cuts and rising concerns about U.S. debt levels reinforce BTC as an
anti-fiat asset.
o De-dollarization trends in emerging markets have pushed demand for decentralized
alternatives.
Tensions in Middle East and Taiwan Strait have modestly increased safe-haven demand for
crypto alongside gold.
d. Regulatory Landscape
U.S. regulation remains neutral to moderately positive, with clarity improving post-SEC
approval of multiple crypto-based ETFs.
Europe’s MiCA framework has stabilized the regulatory view of digital assets.
2. Network & On-Chain Metrics
Hashrate: Near all-time highs, reflecting continued miner confidence.
Active Addresses: Trending up modestly; no speculative mania yet.
Exchange Outflows: Increasing BTC moving to cold storage—bullish accumulation signal.
Funding Rates: Neutral to mildly positive across major derivatives exchanges, showing
balanced leverage.
Conclusion (Fundamental Bias):
BTC remains fundamentally bullish, supported by supply mechanics, institutional adoption,
and increasing macro uncertainty.
No signs of bubble-level speculation—current rally appears more organic and driven by
long-term positioning.

Scenario Planning
Scenario Trigger Target
Daily close above $66,000 with
Bullish Breakout $69,000 → $73,000
volume
Range Continuation Continued rejection below $66,000 Bounce between $62,000–$65,500
Pullback to $59,000 or 200DMA
Bearish Breakdown Daily close below $61,500
($56,800)
IV. Final Thoughts
Bitcoin is in a high-conviction accumulation phase within a broader bullish cycle. While
consolidation below $66,000 may continue in the near term, structural signals point toward a
potential breakout. The post-halving narrative, increasing institutional exposure, and global macro
uncertainty continue to build a solid foundation for upside continuation.
