# Crypto Weekly Wrap-Up: Market Momentum and Strategic Moves

Hey there, Crypto Willy here with your friendly neighborhood crypto update! The past week has been absolutely electric in the digital asset space, and I'm pumped to break it all down for you.

Bitcoin has been on an impressive recovery journey since May 13th, climbing back above the psychological $100,000 barrier. After briefly dipping to $103K amid CPI fears and regulatory concerns in Arizona, BTC stabilized above $102,800 with a solid 10% weekly increase and a 33% rise in trading volumes. The technical outlook remains bullish, with key support levels around $100,790 and resistance at $105,720 to keep an eye on.

The broader crypto market has been riding this wave of optimism too, largely thanks to cooling inflation data and increased institutional participation. Ethereum approached $2,600, while XRP and Solana posted notable gains. Speaking of XRP, there's fresh buzz with XenDex preparing for its first security audit and unveiling its platform mockup today (May 20th). Their native token $XDX is generating significant interest among savvy investors looking for early opportunities.

For traders watching new listings, KuCoin has opened deposits for GIZA, with trading officially launching today at 13:00 UTC via the GIZA/USDT pair. This could present an interesting entry point for those looking to diversify their portfolios.

Market sentiment indicators are showing euphoria (some might say greed), with strong institutional inflows through Bitcoin spot ETFs confirming robust risk appetite. Derivatives markets are also signaling increasing buying pressure, with rising open interest, CVD imbalance, and notable short liquidations. While the positive funding rate highlights optimism, we should monitor for potential overheating risks.

One fascinating development is Bitcoin's peculiar correlation with global M2 money supply, tracking it with a 70-day lag. This relationship has remained surprisingly strong since being first charted last July, with Bitcoin soaring past $104K in response.

For emerging projects and entrepreneurs, YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs) has launched a $500K program for Web3, AI, and healthcare startups. Their EASY Residence offers a 10-week in-person program with significant funding—$150K for 5% equity and $350K via an uncapped SAFE. Applications close May 21st, so interested founders should move quickly.

As we navigate this market together, remember that while the bullish scenario remains favorable above $91,700, upcoming U.S. macroeconomic signals will be crucial for confirmation. Stay nimble, keep your strategies flexible, and as always, invest responsibly!

Until next time, this is Crypto Willy signing off—keep those portfolios diversified and your keys secure!
