After an important week, institutional crypto ETF flows have returned to the spotlight. On Monday, Bitcoin ETF inflows reached $21.9 billion, Ethereum ETF inflows were $44.4 billion, totaling $66.3 billion. This occurred after several weeks of redemptions and turmoil, suggesting that sentiment may be shifting as investors reposition.
The Ethereum ETF is a big winner, with BlackRock's ETHA rising by $31.49 billion. Fidelity's FETH added $87.4 million, and Grayscale's Ether Mini Trust increased by $53.2 million. Bitwise, 21Shares, and Invesco completed the gains. Only Grayscale's ETHE saw outflows of $29.1 million. Nonetheless, the daily trading volume for Ethereum ETFs still exceeds $3.75 billion, with net assets of $28.8 billion. The gains in Bitcoin ETFs are smaller but significant. Fidelity's FBTC leads with $65.6 million, followed by BlackRock's IBIT ($63.4 million) and Ark 21Shares' ARKB ($61.2 million).
Other support comes from Bitwise, VanEck, and Grayscale products. There has been no outflow of funds from Bitcoin ETFs, with a total trading volume of $4.5 billion and assets of $143.6 billion.
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) technical outlook points to a breakout.
Bitcoin price predictions seem to be turning bullish as it begins to reflect institutional support for ETF flows. BTC remains supported at the $113,000 level, trading close to $111,000. On the 2-hour chart, the asset is still within a descending channel, but the technicals indicate that bullish momentum is steadily increasing.
RSI has climbed above 60, indicating strengthening demand, while MACD has turned positive, showing a bullish crossover. The price is currently testing the 111,900 moving average near $50, a level that has served as support and resistance multiple times. A decisive breakout above $116,850 would be a key technical milestone, paving the way towards $120,900.
The candlestick pattern provides further evidence of accumulation. The long tail rejection candle near $111,000 highlights buying activity, while the absence of a bearish engulfing candle indicates weakening selling pressure. If higher lows hold above $112,000, this setup will strengthen for a further rebound to $124,500.
Institutions are looking at long-term upside potential.
For traders, the path is clear. Above $116,850, momentum rises to $120,900 and $124,500. A drop below and back to $108,695. Nevertheless, the overall structure suggests volatility may soon resolve in favor of the bulls.
ETF capital inflows highlight that institutional capital is quietly preparing for the long-term cycle. The narrative of Bitcoin eventually reaching six figures (and possibly even a million dollars) remains closely tied to this steady trend of adoption.
With the return of liquidity and tightening technicals, Bitcoin may be preparing for the next significant upward move, providing a market environment full of opportunities for presale investors and long-term holders.
