$BTC Market Check – April 30, 2025

Bitcoin ($BTC) is trading around $95,000, supported by robust institutional inflows—BlackRock’s ETF alone saw $216.7M in a day, with net inflows across ETFs reaching $172.8M. Analysts from Standard Chartered now project BTC could hit $120K in Q2 and $200K by year-end, driven by macroeconomic uncertainty and growing institutional confidence. However, downside risks remain: BTC recently dipped below $93.5K, and stablecoin reserves are low, signaling limited buy-side liquidity. The current momentum highlights Bitcoin’s dual nature—bullish long-term fundamentals amid short-term volatility. As global markets adjust, BTC continues to anchor portfolios and shape the future of digital finance.
