| Bitcoin’s Open Interest & Whale Activity Surges Alpharactal data shows Bitcoin's surge past $100K is driven by institutional investors, not retail hype. Open interest (OI) in BTC futures has also climbed alongside price, signaling strong market confidence. Whale sentiment, tracked by large wallet activity, also indicates significant accumulation ahead of the rally. Unlike past cycles, this growth reflects strategic positioning by institutions using derivatives and long-term accumulation. Analysts suggest Bitcoin’s market is maturing, with deeper liquidity and reduced volatility, marking the beginning of its institutional era.
Ethereum Remains Strong Following 29% Rally Ethereum leads with $64B in TVL, far ahead of Solana, BNB Chain, and Tron’s combined $22.3B. Despite strong fundamentals and the recent Pectra upgrade improving scalability and staking, Ethereum faces weak ETF demand, $16M in outflows on May 8th, the third straight day of losses. Network usage is similarly down, with fees dropping 85% since January, weakening ETH’s deflationary model and staking appeal. Politically, President Trump has walked back support for altcoins, including Ethereum, after cutting ties with a crypto lobbyist, further clouding the outlook. Still, ETH’s technicals remain strong, and a move to $2,700 is possible if sentiment improves and competitors falter.

However, analysts warn of a potential reversal, with the TD Sequential indicator flashing a sell signal. Geopolitical tensions, especially U.S.-China trade issues, and recent optimism around resumed negotiations are also influencing market sentiment. Additionally, Ripple's recent legal win against the U.S. SEC has contributed to its recent price strength.
