Crypto Price Today (May 8, 2025): ETH Spikes in Bullish Reversal, Bitcoin Eyes $100K Breakout, SUI Surges 12%

Ethereum leads the charge with a dramatic bullish reversal as Bitcoin flirts with the psychological $100,000 barrier—because apparently round numbers still matter in decentralized finance. Meanwhile, SUI defies gravity with a 12% pump, proving altcoins remain the casino chips of crypto.

Key movements:

- ETH breaks resistance levels as institutional money finally discovers smart contracts (only 8 years late)

- BTC whales test $99k liquidity walls—because nothing says ’store of value’ like 5% daily volatility

- SUI’s sudden surge leaves traders scrambling for narratives, settling on ’AI integration’ (the 2025 equivalent of ’blockchain not Bitcoin’)

The market cap reclaims $3 trillion as Wall Street’s latest ’crypto is dead’ report gathers dust. Again.

Other top gainers include PENGU–which have seen spikes of over 25%—while EOS, BRETT, VIRTUAL, ENA and PEP are having up to 18% surge in the past 24 hours. On the losing side, none of any major crypto have seen a notable drop today but FORM has declined 3% in the past 24 hours.
