BTC saw a resurgence on Friday, May 15, climbing 2.2% to reach $81,052. ETH followed suit with a 1.1% increase, trading at $2,282. Over the week, BTC’s performance turned positive, gaining 1.3% and erasing previous days’ losses. This late-week rebound brought relief to investors after a volatile trading period.
Several factors contributed to this trend reversal. Firstly, traditional markets closed higher on Thursday, reassuring crypto traders. Secondly, opportunistic buying emerged after BTC dipped below $80,000, a level many considered oversold. Finally, unconfirmed rumors of institutional adoption in Asia circulated, fueling optimism. Trading volumes surged towards the end of the day, signaling renewed interest.
Analysts suggest this rebound confirms the $79,000 support level remains strong. BTC could now aim to reclaim the $82,000 mark next week. ETH, while less dynamic, maintained stability above $2,250. The week concludes on a positive note, but caution is advised as markets remain sensitive to macroeconomic news. Investors will be watching US inflation data next week.
