Bakkt Holdings has submitted a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to raise up to $1 billion to support the company’s new Bitcoin and digital asset strategy. This decision follows the recent June 2025 update on its investment policy in which it is able to invest in Bitcoin and other crypto assets.
Bitcoin price surged 3% on Thursday, climbing above $97,000 for the first time in two months. The rally was fueled by multiple bullish catalysts that reinforced investor confidence in BTC’s mid-term trajectory.
BTC price surges on ETF optimism and Saylor’s $21B push
Bitcoin (BTC) rose 3.4% this week, trading near $97,000 at press time. According to Coingecko data, Bitcoin price traded as high as $97,341, driving its market above $2 trillion for the first time since early March.
This came just days after the SEC postponed decisions on seven altcoin ETF applications.
The new SUI filing suggests the delays are procedural, not signs of rejection, which reassured markets.
Strategy Files Published Q1 Financial Report, May 1, 2025
Adding to the bullish momentum, Strategy, led by Michael Saylor unveiled Q1 results and a massive new investment plan.
Despite a $4.2 billion unrealized loss in Q1 2025 due to quarter-end BTC pricing, the company launched a $21 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering to buy more Bitcoin.
Strategy currently holds over 553,000 BTC at an average cost of $68,459. The firm also raised its 2025 BTC yield target from 15% to 25%, citing strong early-year performance.
Importantly, Strategy’s report highlighted a $12.7 billion accounting uplift from the switch to fair value accounting, boosting retained earnings. This marks a broader shift in corporate Bitcoin adoption, with over 70 public companies now holding BTC on their balance sheets.
Institutional momentum is now building on multiple fronts:
Renewed ETF activity, fair value accounting for corporate holders, and continued capital inflows. BTC’s sharp rebound above the $96,500-$97,000 zone confirms this bullish bias.
A weekly close above $97,000 could unlock the path to $105,000 in the near term, with some analysts projecting a move toward $145,000 by Q3 if macro tailwinds persist.
Bitcoin price is currently trading at $97,089, up 0.62% on the day, and poised to extend its rally toward $105,000. Price has broken decisively above the $90,000 resistance zone, with strong bullish continuation confirmed by the clean daily candle structure and rising volume.

The 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), shown in green and red, have flattened out but remain below current price, signaling that BTC has reclaimed long-term trend support with conviction.
Other Bitcoin price forecast signals also support this bullish thesis. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 70.49 has entered overbought territory, typically a warning sign, but in trend-confirming rallies like this one, it often reflects strong institutional interest rather than exhaustion. RSI continues to diverge positively from its 14-day moving average, currently at 65.08, echoing bullish signals.
A move above $98,000 would open a clean path to $105,000, while support now lies at the $90,000 and $86,000 levels. A sudden break below these would invalidate the current bullish structure, although such a pullback appears unlikely given BTC price resilience above the 100-day SMA (blue) and low sell volume near resistance.
Cardano (ADA) is showing signs of life despite dropping 3% in the past 24 hours as traders weigh the possibility of a broader recovery. Technical indicators like BBTrend and DMI are flashing mixed signals, hinting that momentum may be fading after a brief surge.
ADA’s BBTrend has flipped into negative territory, while its DMI suggests bulls are gaining ground but haven’t fully taken control. With ADA hovering just above key support levels, the next few sessions will be crucial in determining whether this rally has legs or if another correction is around the corner.
ADA BBTrend Is Fading After Reaching Levels Above 5 Yesterday
Cardano’s BBTrend indicator has flipped into negative territory, currently sitting at -0.02 after reaching a positive peak of 5.28 just a day earlier.
The BBTrend (Bull and Bear Trend) indicator measures the strength and direction of a price trend. Values above +1 typically indicate a strong bullish trend, while readings below -1 signal a strong bearish trend.
For Cardano, this neutral-to-negative reading could mean that upward momentum is fading, increasing the risk of further downside if selling pressure builds in the coming sessions.
Cardano DMI Shows Buyers Are Almost Taking Control
Cardano’s DMI (Directional Movement Index) chart shows that its ADX, which measures trend strength, has dropped to 34.29 from 43.41 yesterday.
While this indicates that the current trend is weakening, the ADX is still well above the key 25 threshold, meaning the market remains in a strong directional move.
The ADX is part of the DMI system, which includes the +DI (positive directional index) and -DI (negative directional index).
The +DI has climbed from 4.68 to 19.19, showing growing bullish interest, while the -DI has sharply dropped from 44.92 to 22.18. This narrowing gap hints at a potential trend reversal or at least a slowing of bearish momentum.
However, since -DI is still slightly above +DI and ADX remains elevated, ADA is technically still in a downtrend — though bulls may be starting to regain some ground.
Is Cardano Getting Ready For A Recovery?
Cardano price is currently attempting a recovery after dipping below the $0.52 mark, a key support level in recent weeks. If buyers manage to confirm their strength and sustain upward momentum, ADA could first test resistance at $0.629.
A successful breakout above that could open the path toward $0.70, and if bullish pressure continues, a further rally to $0.77 may be on the table — levels not seen since early 2024.
However, if ADA fails to hold its current ground and bearish momentum returns, the token risks sliding back below $0.52.
A move toward $0.51 would be the first critical test, and losing that level could push Cardano below the $0.50 threshold for the first time since November 2024.
