Bitcoin breaks past $107k resistance: Is a new all-time high on horizon?
Crypto markets were buzzing in trade on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, with flagship currency Bitcoin (BTC) holding above the $107,500 levels. Market analysts believe this breakout above $107,500 levels could potentially open the door toward $110,000 and new all-time highs.
The bellwether currency was quoted trading at around $107,575.86, up by 1.32 per cent at 10:46 AM on Wednesday, May 21. The world's most popular cryptocurrency had a 24-hour trading volume of $50.84 billion. Bitcoin's market capitalisation stood at $2.13 trillion, the highest among all cryptocurrencies. The last 24-hour trading range for Bitcoin was between $104,206.52 and $107,664.50, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
Bitcoin eyes $110,000
Riya Sehgal, research analyst at Delta Exchange, believes that Bitcoin has built a strong base above the $106,000 mark, indicating solid buyer interest at lower levels. This breakout above $107,500, Sehgal believes, could potentially open the door toward $110,000 and new all-time highs.
For Bitcoin, Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus Crypto Platform, believes that liquidity grabs can dictate its short-term price action—a short squeeze at $109,000 followed by a long liquidity grab at $101,000. "Spot ETF inflows have dipped yesterday in a sign that a correction is in order. However, any move down is likely to be a final correction before the asset breaks through its January high," said Subburaj.
Notably, Bitcoin is currently 1.42 per cent lower from its all-time high of $109,114.88, scaled on January 20 of this year.
Ethereum holds above $2,500
Ethereum, on the other hand, has been showing stronger relative strength, gaining nearly 60 per cent over the last month and outperforming Bitcoin. It is trading around the $2,500 mark, a key psychological resistance. Last seen, it was quoted trading at $2,577.99, up 0.38 per cent, with a trading volume of $21.94 billion. It has fluctuated in the range of $2,446.45 - $2,576.29 in the last 24 hours.
Ethereum's market cap stood at $312.01 billion, making it the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation.
"For Ethereum, while structural indicators like the Golden Cross and ascending trendlines suggest a bullish setup, on-chain data points to short-term overheating. Elevated trading volumes and profit-taking around $2,500 could trigger a minor pullback or consolidation," said Sehgal.
Among other popular altcoins, Cardano (ADA) was trading higher by 2 per cent, followed by Binance Coin (BNB) at 1.63 per cent, and Solana (SOL) traded higher by 0.56 per cent. Meanwhile, Ripple (XRP) was trading lower by 3.5 per cent, down 0.11 per cent.
In the near term, analysts expect volatility to remain elevated, with ETH needing to hold above $2,200 and BTC above $105,000 to sustain bullish momentum. Broader market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic as we await further confirmation of trend continuation.

‘It Is Going to Happen': JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Warns of Crack in Bond Market
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned of a crack in the bond market and said the U.S. should be stockpiling military equipment instead of Bitcoin at an economic forum on Friday. Dimon, who was interviewed on stage at the Reagan National Economic Forum in Simi Valley, Calif., prompted some market jitters during Friday's sideways trading session. Asked if he thought so-called 'bond vigilantes" that sell U.S. Treasuries due to worries about growing deficits have returned, Dimon replied 'Yeah." The bank executive pointed to trillions of dollars in borrowing and spending in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, which he described as 'huge sums of money, and we don't really know the full effect of that." 'You are going to see a crack in the bond market," Dimon said. 'It is going to happen. And I tell this to my regulators, some of you who are in this room, I'm telling you it's going to happen, and you're going to panic." 'I'm not gonna panic," he added. 'We'll be fine. We'll probably make more money, and then some of my friends will tell me 'We like crises because it's good for JPMorgan Chase.' Not really." Government debt has been in focus after the U.S. lost its last perfect Aaa rating earlier this month when Moody's downgraded U.S. sovereign debt to AA+. The yield on the 30-year Treasury note jumped 0.25 percentage point in May, its largest one-month gain since December, according to Dow Jones Market Data. It set a 52-week high north of 5% on May 21. Dimon also warned of the 'enemy within" in the U.S., calling for a unified front and fixes to things like permitting, regulations, immigration, taxation, schools, and healthcare, among other issues. But he argued the most important issue was maintaining military alliances and the strongest military in the world. 'If we are not the preeminent military and the preeminent economy in 40 years, we will not be the reserve currency," Dimon said. 'That's a fact. Just read history." He said the U.S. has to 'get our act together, and we have to do it very quickly." He also weighed in on the Trump administration's Bitcoin efforts to amass large quantities of the cryptocurrency and the U.S. dollar's current status as the world's reserve currency. 'We shouldn't be stockpiling Bitcoin," Dimon said. 'We should be stockpiling guns, bullets, tanks, planes, drones, you know, rare earths." Write to Connor Smith at

Bengaluru's ride-hailing apps replace ‘advance tip' with ‘voluntary' tag after minister Pralhad Joshi's criticism
1 2 Bengaluru: Your ride wasn't booked, but the aggregator app already wanted a tip? Well, things just got slightly more polite. Days after Union minister Pralhad Joshi asked Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) to investigate why ride-hailing apps were nudging users for tips before the ride even began, a new word has quietly rolled into the app interface: 'Voluntary tip'. Platforms like Namma Yatri and Ola seem to have heard the buzz and the backlash. Now, when users are booking a ride, the advance tip option comes with a little label that spells out its nature loud and clear: Voluntary. Riders can skip the tip, and the app won't hold their ride. Uber, on the other hand, has not introduced a "voluntary" label, but appears to have reduced the frequency with which the advance tip prompt appears during the booking process. While the option remains part of the app, it is now shown less prominently, possibly as a way to soften the user experience without making direct changes to the interface. Many users said the change does make a difference. Priya Srisha, 34, a resident of Indiranagar, said, "I use ride-hailing apps almost every day to commute to work. A few weeks ago, I noticed the app was asking for a tip before the ride even started. It felt odd; how do I know if the service deserves a tip before the driver has even shown up? But now, after the update, there's a small label next to the tip box that says 'voluntary'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade Bitcoin & Ethereum – No Wallet Needed! IC Markets Start Now Undo That word makes a big difference. I no longer feel guilty for skipping it. Before this, it almost felt like tipping was part of the fare." Suresh R, 42, a resident of Bellandur, said, "I use both Ola and Uber. Ola now makes it clearer that tip is optional, calling it voluntary. Earlier, I thought not tipping might affect my chances of getting a good driver or lead to cancellation, especially during peak hours. But now, the app continues to the next screen even if I don't add a tip. Uber seems to have stopped showing the advance tip as often; it used to pop up almost every time, now it's more scattered. It's a welcome change, honestly. Tipping should be based on the ride experience, not a pre-condition." Uber was unavailable for comments on the matter. Tip in advance unethical, exploitative: Minister Prahalad Joshi posted on X, saying, "The practice of 'Advance Tip' is deeply concerning. Forcing or nudging users to pay a tip in advance, for faster service is unethical and exploitative. Such actions fall under unfair trade practices. Tip is given as a token of appreciation not as a matter of right, after the service. Taking cognisance of this, I had asked CCPA to look into it and today CCPA has issued a notice to Uber in this regard, seeking explanation from the platform. Fairness, transparency and accountability must be upheld in all customer interactions." As an update to this issue, he tweeted, "CCPA is investigating other apps, they will also be served notice if they are found indulging in such practices."
