According to @KyleReidhead, predictions of Bitcoin reaching $500K or $1M in 2025 are unrealistic, with $100K–$150K being a more attainable target if market sentiment shifts to risk-on. Reidhead emphasizes that unlike the 2021 bull run, current conditions lack stimulus-driven mania and are instead driven by strong fundamentals. This cautious outlook suggests traders should focus on Bitcoin's underlying strength rather than speculative price targets, as cited by Milk Road (@MilkRoadDaily) on May 8, 2025.

According to The Kobeissi Letter, trader sentiment is experiencing a notable shift, with the Fear & Greed Index climbing 44 points from its recent low to reach 48, now classified as Neutral. Simultaneously, the S&P 500 has rallied by 800 points since its April 7th low, marking a substantial 17% gain in just 18 trading days and adding an average of $400 billion in market capitalization per day. These figures indicate improving risk appetite and increasing institutional flows, which are relevant indicators for short-term and swing traders assessing entry points and momentum strategies (source: @KobeissiLetter on Twitter, May 1, 2025).

According to @KookCapitalLLC, the brief bear market observed between April 30, 1pm - 4pm UTC, has officially ended, signaling a return to upward price momentum across major cryptocurrencies. Traders who held positions through this short-term downturn may now see renewed buying opportunities as market sentiment shifts back to bullish, supported by rapid recovery in trading volumes and price action after the dip (source: KookCapitalLLC on Twitter, April 30, 2025).

According to The Kobeissi Letter, gold has significantly outperformed bond returns over the past 4-5 years, with gold up 114% since March 2020, while the bond-tracking ETF $TLT has decreased by 45%. This highlights a major shift in market sentiment, making it one of gold's most bullish developments recently. Factors contributing to this trend include investor preference for tangible assets amidst economic uncertainty and inflation concerns. As bond yields remained low, investors turned to gold as a hedge, driving its price higher.
