- The UK's retail ETN launch in October could bring in over $4 billion in new capital
- Improved regulatory clarity with proposals for U.S. market structure
❌ Challenges:
- ETF capital inflow has slowed significantly (-53% since May)
- Technical indicators show a downward momentum (RSI 39.89, MACD -1.038)
- High Fed interest rates (5.25%-5.5%) continue to pressure risk assets
🔔 Important Levels to Watch:
- Resistance Level: $119,364 (Fib 23.6%)
- Support: $113,330 (Fib 61.8%)
- Key Floor: $99,570 (200-day EMA)
❓ Market Question:
Could Asian retail demand (driven by Japan's tax reforms) offset the slowdown in investment inflows from the West?
👉 The next big move will likely depend on whether BTC can hold above $113,000 or break through the resistance level at $119,000. Where do you predict the price will go from here?
