Bitcoin's price briefly recovered to nearly $82,000 in early May but then fell below $80,000 due to profit-taking and weakening momentum. This decline was mirrored by sharp drops in major altcoins like Solana and Cardano. Institutional caution grew as U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw $290 million in outflows and Ethereum ETFs lost $65.66 million, reflecting fading confidence amid rising U.S. Treasury yields nearing 4.6%. These macroeconomic pressures increase the opportunity cost of holding crypto, leading to cautious repositioning by institutions such as BlackRock. The crypto market's near-term recovery depends on stabilizing ETF flows and easing macro liquidity pressures.
