K33 Research analysts are calling for a shift in crypto strategy this May. In a recent note, analysts Vetle Lunde and David Zimmerman advised Bitcoin investors to adopt a “hold and stay” approach, rejecting the legacy financial adage of “sell in May and go away.”
Rooted in traditional equities, the old saying refers to the historical underperformance of markets between May and October. However, K33 argues that Bitcoin is breaking away from that pattern—and that 2025 presents a vastly different landscape.
Trump-Driven Catalysts Set Crypto Apart This Summer
According to the analysts, President Donald Trump’s return to office is reshaping expectations across all asset classes. While his influence brings volatility, it also introduces a unique set of political and economic catalysts that may support Bitcoin’s outperformance through the summer months.
“This summer is not like previous ones,” they noted. “Crypto has Trump-era momentum, while equities could face repeated tariff threats.”
They acknowledged that summer typically lacks major drivers for markets, but say 2025 breaks that mold.
K33 believes crypto stands to benefit from policy changes, regulatory shifts, and speculative flows, while traditional markets may stay under pressure due to trade tensions and unpredictable policy moves.
Uncertainty Lingers Despite Optimism
Despite the bullish tone, the analysts flagged one concern: the missed deadline for a report on the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, a topic that had generated speculation. The lack of follow-up has added a layer of uncertainty to the otherwise optimistic narrative.
Still, K33 maintains that investors should resist traditional seasonal assumptions. In their view, Bitcoin is on a divergent path, and “staying in” this May could prove far more rewarding than sitting out.
