Daily Market Dispatch – May 14, 2025
Overview
Crypto markets paused on Wednesday after leading digital assets surged higher earlier in the week. Bitcoin hovered near $103,800, while Ethereum and altcoins held their ground following a stretch of strong gains. With sentiment still supported by softer inflation data and easing trade tensions, attention now turns to upcoming economic prints and Federal Reserve commentary for the next directional cues.
Meanwhile, U.S. equity futures were flat as the broader market adopted a wait-and-see stance. The Dow and S&P futures remained mostly flat, while Nasdaq 100 futures inched up by 0.1%. Wall Street closed mixed on Tuesday as investors digested cooler-than-expected inflation data while remaining cautious about the potential lagged effects of recent tariff changes
Bitcoin
Bitcoin hovered near recent highs around $103,800 after briefly surpassing $104,000 last week, followed by a modest pullback. On Tuesday, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $96 million in net outflows as the price dipped to $101,429. Some investors appeared to be waiting for a clear break above $105,000 before reentering the market..
Despite the pause, momentum remains firm. Over 98% of addresses are in profit, and open interest stays above $30 billion. Futures activity has picked up, and options markets show growing demand for upside exposure. For now, traders are focused on macro data as the next driver of direction.
Ethereum & Altcoins
Ethereum (ETH) broke above $2,500, extending its rally following the Pectra upgrade, which has reinforced confidence in its role in Layer 2 scaling and tokenization. After lagging much of the cycle, ETH’s recent breakout signals renewed momentum.
Altcoins outperformed midweek. ETH surged 8.7% to $2,667, Dogecoin gained 9.5%, and Solana rose 7% to $180.30, supported by a $23 million treasury boost from DeFi Development Corp., bringing total backing to $100 million. XRP added 3.6%, Cardano climbed 4.8%, and Polygon advanced 6%.
Signs of a nascent alt season are forming, as Bitcoin dominance declines and stablecoin share drops. The rotation appears early – but technically supported.
Macro & Institutional
Markets remained range-bound as investors looked ahead to Thursday’s Producer Price Index and Fed Chair Powell’s speech. Tuesday’s CPI showed headline inflation easing to 2.3% (near to Powell's strategic aim to drop inflation to 2%), with core holding at 2.8%. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee noted the difficulty in interpreting near-term volatility, suggesting that the central bank is in no rush to shift its stance until the outlook becomes clearer.
Gold slipped as the 90-day tariff rollback between the U.S. and China reduced immediate geopolitical and economic uncertainty. With short-term fears easing, investors rotated out of traditional safe havens like gold.
On the institutional front, digital asset adoption continues. Wellgistics Health announced XRP-based payments, and a U.S.-listed firm disclosed a $100 million Solana allocation, reinforcing the trend of blockchain treasury adoption. In Washington, a Senate vote on stablecoin legislation was delayed amid political friction. Nonetheless, momentum toward regulatory clarity remains active in both chambers.
Looking Ahead
Thursday’s PPI data, jobless claims, and Powell’s remarks may shape near-term policy expectations. Eurozone GDP and economic forecasts will also add insight into global growth dynamics.
With Bitcoin steady above $100,000 and altcoins extending gains, risk assets are holding – but remain sensitive. Bitcoin’s allure as a global economic hedge has strengthened with this latest surge, though sustaining that position depends on how well flows and fundamentals align. Markets have moved from reactive repricing to cautious positioning – now they need validation.

📊🤔 #BTC New data from Alphractal shows short-term Bitcoin holders (those holding for under a month) are largely sidelined, holding just 2.36M BTC.
That’s down from 3.94M in March 2024 and 5.44M during the April 2021 peak, suggesting the market may still be in a “disbelief” phase.
