At Token2049 in Dubai, Goldman Sachs’ global head of digital assets, Mathew McDermott, emphasized the firm’s rapid expansion in crypto. He stated that the hedge fund is “moving fast” and remains “very active” in Bitcoin and digital assets.

He also added that “clients are very eager to get involved”. Wall Street giants are diving into BTC, showing a surge in institutional interest. When the big players start FOMO-ing into crypto, it’s clear that something major is unfolding.

Goldman’s been flirting with crypto for a while, but this move signals they’re ready to go all-in. Institutional money pouring in is a mega bullish signal for Bitcoin price.

Bitcoin’s market sentiment soars as retail and institutional investors jump in enthusiastically. The Fear & Greed Index has hit 67, signaling strong FOMO and bullish momentum in the market.

China quietly exempted some US goods from tariffs, covering around $40 Billion worth of imports. According to Bloomberg, a list of 131 products has surfaced, all exempt from tariffs.

Bitcoin Price Wants to Hit $100K This Weekend

On May 2, 2025, Bitcoin price was sitting pretty at $97,406, up a solid 1% on the day. BTC/USD chart confirms a breakout above the $92,000—$94,000 range, breaking through the ascending triangle pattern. This classic bullish setup signals potential for further upside movement.

BTC has been grinding higher, with higher lows forming along the 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs). These moving averages act as dynamic support, keeping the bulls in control.

The OG token is testing a minor resistance zone around $98,000, on its way to $106,000. If Bitcoin price breaks this level with some gusto, the next stop is the supply zone between $104,000 and $106,000.

A clean break above $104,000 could easily send Bitcoin to $108,000. This could be seen as little resistance until the all-time high of $109,396.

The chart also marks a “Resistance-Turned-Support (Bullish)” zone around $94,000. If price dips, this level should hold as support, or we might see a retest of $80,000.

The MACD indicator shows a bullish signal, with the MACD line above the signal line. Additionally, the positive histogram reinforces strong upward momentum in the market. This confirms the upward momentum is still strong.

The relative strength index (RSI), at 71.10, is in overbought territory. However, BTC can stay overbought in a bull run like this before cooling off. Translation? The bulls are still in the driver’s seat, but keep an eye out for a potential pullback to shake out weak hands.

Price Prediction: $106,000 in Sight?

With all the hype this week—Goldman Sachs jumping in and potential ETF approvals—Bitcoin is primed for a breakout. The chart’s bullish indicators are screaming “to the moon,” and $106,000 is looking like a realistic target in the short term.

If Bitcoin price can smash through $96,896.40 and hold above $100,000, we’re in for a wild ride. However, if the RSI overheat gets too crazy, we might see a quick dip to $86,217.77 before the next leg up.

A Bullish Outlook

Bitcoin is tearing, and the fundamentals are lining up with the technicals to paint a seriously bullish picture. Goldman Sachs and other big players are jumping on the bandwagon, and the chart is giving us all the green light we need.
