Bitcoin (BTC) Price Rose Above $100K for 30 Consecutive Days for the First Time in History

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics has released Mays CPI inflation rose to 2.5% YoY, matching expectations. With no surprises and, apparently, no shocks to the markets

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that May’s CPI inflation rose to 2.5% YoY, aligning with expectations and unperturbing the markets with any surprises. Despite the slight uptick, Bitcoin, equities, and altcoins remained indifferent, displaying neither panic nor rally, merely quiet resilience. This behavior suggests that the markets have adjusted to mild inflation as the new normal, shifting their attention to rate decisions, ETF flows, and broader macro narratives over a CPI number.Now that the BTC price has officially traded above $100,000 for 30 consecutive days for the first time in history, will the upswing continue toward new highs?

According to some reports, 116 public companies now hold 809.1K Bitcoin, up from 312.2K a year ago. Since early April alone, nearly 100K BTC has been added, with 25+ companies disclosing new holdings. The data also shows MicroStrategy and other institutions have intensified their accumulation since November 2024, when the market rose above the consolidation phase.

As the chart above shows, the net realized profit or loss, which usually spikes each time the BTC price surges above the consolidation, to extract profit as the whales and the investors may not be confident about the upcoming price action, does not appear to have attracted them to take out the profit. This is despite the fact that the price dropped below $100,000 after testing levels just above $108,000.

This behavior from the whales suggests they are bullish on Bitcoin and expect the price to maintain a strong upswing. The lack of interest in realizing profit despite a significant price increase and the BTC price continuing the ascent after a brief correction may indicate that the price will continue to maintain a strong ascending trend and eventually mark a new ATH soon.

Currently, Bitcoin has entered the final resistance zone ahead of an ATH but has still not broken the barrier yet. Moreover, the price is squeezing with a significant rise in the volume from around $36 billion to close to $60 billion, which suggests panic selling but the question remains whether the price will hold the key levels around $106K after plunging below $108K.

If this happens, then a new ATH could be a few weeks away; otherwise, the Bitcoin (BTC) price may face a deeper correction and reach levels just below $100,000 and further trigger a strong upswing to mark a new ATH.
