According to QCPgroup, Bitcoin briefly reached $107,000 on Sunday, propelled by Metaplanet’s significant $104 million BTC purchase and consistent inflows from Strategy Inc. The rally was short-lived as dealers took profits, causing a price pullback; however, Bitcoin remains within a strong trading range. Notably, rising funding rates and a spike in leveraged liquidations were observed during the move. These developments signal continued volatility and provide traders with opportunities to capitalize on swings in both spot and derivatives markets, underscoring the importance of monitoring institutional flows and funding metrics for crypto trading strategies (source: QCPgroup, Twitter, May 19, 2025).
