Analyst: Bitcoin Expected to Stabilize at $100,000, ETH Surge Driven by Retail Investors

According to Coindesk, Strategy disclosed on Monday that it purchased 7,390 bitcoins between May 12 and May 18, with an average value of $103,498. BRN Chief Research Analyst Valentin Fournier stated that this round of buying aims to firmly establish the price of bitcoin above a new bottom of $100,000. The inflow of funds into ETFs also reflects this strength. Fournier noted that the recent price increase of Ethereum (ETH) is "more driven by organic demand rather than institutional inflows, which may indicate an increase in retail activity and a decoupling of performance between bitcoin and other altcoins.
