The cryptocurrency market — specifically Bitcoin and Ethereum — has performed 
quite well in the second quarter of 2025, which is a stark contrast to the 
first quarter&#8217;s performance. The premier cryptocurrency capitalized on this 
bullish momentum, jumping to a new all-time high above the $111,000 mark. 
Similarly, the price of Ethereum started its own resurgence and reclaimed the 
$2,000 mark in early May, albeit the altcoin has been stuck in a consolidation 
range over the past month. Despite the brewing market uncertainty due to the 
escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Bitcoin and Ethereum have managed 
to stay afloat. US Investors Keep Crypto Prices Afloat In a new post on the X 
platform, on-chain analyst Burak Kesmeci revealed that United States investors 
have been active in the market over the past few weeks. The crypto analyst 
explained that this correlates with the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices 
withstanding bearish pressure in recent weeks. Related Reading: You Won’t 
Believe Who’s Moving Millions in Bitcoin on Binance Right Now This on-chain 
observation is based on the Coinbase Premium Index, which tracks the 
difference between the crypto prices on the US-based Coinbase exchange (USD 
pair) and global Binance exchange (USDT pair). This metric reflects the 
sentiment of the US institutional entities (the major players on Coinbase) 
compared to those on global exchanges. Typically, when the price premium on 
Coinbase has a positive value, it implies increasing demand from US investors, 
who are willing to spend more than other global investors to buy 
cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin and Ethereum, in this case). On the flip side, the 
Coinbase Premium Index falling beneath the zero mark signals that US investors 
are buying less compared to the global traders. According to Kesmeci, the 
Bitcoin and Ethereum Coinbase Premium Index (excluding the abrupt dip in BTC 
on May 29) has been in the positive territory since May 9, 2024. This 47-day 
streak suggests high buying activity from US institutional investors despite 
geopolitical tensions. Kesmeci added: In the U.S., institutional investors and 
Bitcoin &amp; Ethereum ETF investors (except for Fidelity) continue their heavy 
purchases through Coinbase (and have been for weeks). This is why Coinbase 
Premiums are showing strong positive momentum. Because of this (in my 
opinion), despite the crises, we haven’t seen a sharp drop in Bitcoin or 
Ethereum in the market. In essence, the on-chain analyst believes the Bitcoin 
and Ethereum prices have been able to weather the storm with the rising 
tensions in Asia because US investors have been active in the market. 
Naturally, risk assets tend to succumb to bearish pressure during unstable 
conditions like wars, global pandemics, and so on. Bitcoin &amp; Ethereum Price As 
of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $107,100, reflecting no 
significant movement in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the Ether token is 
valued at around $2,420, with a mere 0.6% price jump in the past day. Related

Amidst a widespread uncertainty in the crypto market, SUI is undergoing a 
major price correction as evidenced by 23.25% loss in the past 30 days. During 
this period, the popular altcoin and a major headliner in the present market 
cycle has traded as low as $2.35, which is a 56.44% decline from its all-time 
high of $5.35 in January. Amidst this mayhem, prominent market expert with X 
pseudonym PlanD has stated the ongoing formation of a bullish dual pattern 
hints at an incoming explosive price gain in the SUI market. Related Reading: 
Ethereum Reclaims $2,500 In Squeeze-Driven Rally – But Can It Hold? Technical 
Combo Sets Stage for SUI Surge &#8211; Analyst In an X post on June 27, PlanD shares 
an interesting price analysis that reveals the formation of two bullish 
patterns &#8211; the bull pennant and the inverse head and shoulder (H&amp;S) &#8211; on the 
SUI daily chart. Both patterns currently form a confluence of technical 
indicators suggesting the altcoin is preparing for a major price rally as the 
second half of 2025 approaches. The inverse head and shoulder pattern is a 
common bullish reversal pattern. Amidst SUI’s price correction in Q1, the 
altcoin formed the left shoulder at $2.42 in February and head at $1.74 in 
April with a recent price bounce off $2.62 appearing to form the right 
shoulder. PlanD describes $2.62 as a critical support level in this bullish 
set-up, the validity of which ensures a potential price breakout. In studying 
PlanD’s technical analysis, the inverse H&amp;S currently has a neckline of $4.25, 
breaking past which confirms the bullish price reversal with a price target 
set at $10.74. Meanwhile, The bull pennant is a common chart pattern marked 
by a strong price uptrend (flagpole), followed by a descending channel 
(pennant) that precedes a price breakout similar to the length of the 
flagpole. Based on the analysis presented by PlanD, prior bull pennants on the 
SUI chart have successfully resulted in explosive rallies as seen in 2023 and 
2024. Notably, SUI bullish price action from mid 2024 to its ATH in January 
followed by a descending price movement since then represents the latest bull 
pennant. Based on the initial price surge (flagpole), PlanD presents a SUI 
long-term price target of $27, representing a potentially 10x gain on current 
market prices. Related Reading: SEI Leads Crypto Market With 43% Weekly Surge

trades at $2.69 following a 2.23% price gain in the past day. Despite its 
struggles in the last month, the altcoin still boasts of 226.33% price gain in 
the last year ranking as one best performing coins in the present market 
cycle. Featured image from PixelPlex, chart from Tradingview
