Ignore Mays Market Myths: K33 Research Encourages Bitcoin Investors to Hold Steady

The stock market adage «sell in May and go away» is unlikely to apply to Bitcoin in 2025, according to a report from K33 Research, as highlighted by The Block.

Experts argue that there are few satisfactory explanations for this perceived seasonality. Among the factors are widespread vacations, tax payment deadlines, and a decrease in new catalysts.

K33 Research believes that a plethora of catalysts, driven by U.S. President Donald Trump, will emerge in 2025.

«The crypto market anticipates numerous positive developments due to actions taken by the head of the White House. Concurrently, equities may once again experience chaos in April after the expiration of tariff delays, which sets the stage for a relative strengthening of Bitcoin in the coming months,» the report states.

Analysts reminded that by July 22, the 180-day deadline for developing a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins, will expire, along with an evaluation of the potential creation of a «strategic national reserve of digital assets.»

Trump assigned this task to a special working group led by David Sacks as part of one of his initial executive orders.

Later, on March 6, the U.S. President expedited this effort by signing another document to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve based on the 200,000 BTC available to the federal government.

Trump instructed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional coins.

The order also includes provisions for creating a reserve of U.S. digital assets, which will consist of cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin that have been confiscated during criminal or civil proceedings.

Federal agencies were expected to present reports by April 5 detailing their powers related to managing digital assets for the reserve. By May 5, the Treasury head was to propose budget-neutral strategies for acquiring digital gold.

However, these deadlines have passed without any public announcements regarding the results, experts pointed out.

«The findings from the report have not yet been disclosed, but they could create a significant ‘vent’ for volatility in the upcoming weeks,» analysts cautioned.

K33 Research also highlighted the resilience of digital gold during the April correction.

«The balance between a potential strategic Bitcoin reserve and the possible negative long-term effects of tariffs on income and employment suggests stronger fundamental factors for the leading cryptocurrency compared to stocks,» experts explained.

Analysts noted the lack of rising funding rates in perpetual contracts, indicating low risks of cascading liquidations of long positions, which is constructive for the medium and long term.

«Our plan involved accumulating coins below $80,000 and holding them. We are now entering a phase designated for holding,» the experts concluded.

Additionally, Bitwise warned that the digital asset market may encounter challenges this summer if the U.S. Congress does not continue working on relevant legislation.

Previously, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott stated that key outcomes in crypto regulation were achieved during the first 100 days of his tenure.
