Bitcoin ETFs Renew Market Optimism with 5-Day Inflow Streak

• Bitcoin exchange-traded products have been on a bullish trend for days.
• Bitcoin has been on a price rollercoaster in recent weeks.
• All eyes are on key support levels for Bitcoin.

The past weeks in the crypto market have been marked with mixed sentiments, characterized by shifting investor behavior across the industry. Last week, the broader market was subject to significant downward pressure, resulting in major outflows for exchange-traded products, including Bitcoin ETFs .

However, the beginning of this week brought a turnaround for these investment products, now recording a positive influx of funds.

Bitcoin ETFs Hold Gains

Continuing the positive streak initiated earlier this week, Bitcoin ETFs have pulled another multi-million dollar inflow. According to data from Farside Investors on Friday, July 12, 2024, BlackRock’s IBIT led the trend with the highest inflow of $72.1 million.

Fidelity’s FBTC followed closely with a total of $32.7 million, making both issuers the only ones to record double-digit investments. BITB by Bitwise and ARKB by Ark 21Shares also saw gains, albeit more modestly, at $7.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively.

Despite the recovery, Bitcoin still has a long way to go. Its current value remains significantly below its $60,000 support level and is down 21.08% from its all-time high of $73,780.

Recent analysis have highlighted key support levels for, establishing $60,000 as a crucial point for Bitcoin to reclaim in order to restore bullish momentum. However, should the crypto king fall below this range and dip past $50,000, it could trigger significant selling pressure across the industry.
