According to Kekalf, The Vawlent (@NFT5lut), references to 'Halves and May' draw attention to the historical correlation between Bitcoin halving events and significant price movements in May, a pattern closely watched by traders for timing entries and exits. Historical data indicates that previous Bitcoin halvings have often led to increased price volatility and trading volumes, especially in the months following the event (source: Glassnode On-chain Analysis, May 2024). Traders are monitoring this May 2025 cycle for potential bullish momentum, with the expectation that post-halving supply reductions could impact Bitcoin and altcoin prices, influencing crypto trading strategies across major exchanges (source: CryptoQuant, April 2024).

According to Lookonchain, on May 1, 2025, ten Bitcoin ETFs experienced a net outflow of 382 BTC, equating to a $36.68 million withdrawal. Fidelity alone saw outflows of 1,462 BTC ($140.57 million), leaving its total holdings at 198,376 BTC ($19.07 billion). On the Ethereum side, nine ETFs recorded a net outflow of 1,648 ETH ($3.03 million), with Grayscale's ETHE seeing the largest single-entity withdrawal of 3,987 ETH ($7.32 million). These outflows suggest potential bearish momentum and reduced institutional demand, which are critical signals for short-term trading strategies. Source: Lookonchain on Twitter.
