Bitcoin (BTC) is showing signs of recovery during the European trading session on Monday, climbing above $107,000 after a slight correction last week. Despite the signs of mild recovery in price action, the market sentiment remains cautious as the Israel-Iran conflict enters its fourth day after fresh strikes over the weekend. Despite the geopolitical headwinds, institutional interest in Bitcoin remains robust, as Metaplanet added 1,100 BTC to its holdings while spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded a total inflow of $1.37 billion last week.
