Institutional interest in crypto ETFs is back in the spotlight after a massive week of inflows. On Monday, Bitcoin ETFs saw $219 million in new investments, while Ether ETFs pulled in $444 million, bringing the total to $663 million. After weeks of redemptions and market turbulence, this shift suggests sentiment may be turning bullish as investors reposition.
Ether ETFs were the clear winners. BlackRock’s ETHA dominated with $314.9 million in inflows, followed by Fidelity’s FETH at $87.4 million, and Grayscale’s Ether Mini Trust at $53.2 million. Bitwise, 21Shares, and Invesco also saw gains, though Grayscale’s ETHE experienced a minor outflow of $29.1 million. Despite this, daily Ether ETF trading topped $3.75 billion, with net assets now at $28.8 billion.
Bitcoin ETFs also posted meaningful growth. Fidelity’s FBTC led the way with $65.6 million, closely followed by BlackRock’s IBIT at $63.4 million and Ark 21Shares’ ARKB at $61.2 million. Additional support came from Bitwise, VanEck, and Grayscale products. Notably, no Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows, with total trading volume reaching $4.5 billion and assets under management at $143.6 billion.
Bitcoin Technical Outlook Points to Breakout
Bitcoin’s price appears to be reflecting this institutional support, turning increasingly bullish. BTC is hovering near $113,000 after holding support at $111,000. On the 2-hour chart, Bitcoin remains within a descending channel, but technical indicators suggest growing buying momentum.
“The RSI has climbed above 60, indicating strengthening demand, while the MACD has flipped positive with a bullish crossover.” Price is testing the 50-SMA near $111,900, a level that has repeatedly acted as both support and resistance. A clean break above $116,850 would be a key milestone, potentially opening the path toward $120,900.
Candlestick patterns provide further confirmation. Long-tailed rejection wicks near $111,000 highlight active buying, and the absence of bearish engulfing candles suggests waning selling pressure. If higher lows hold above $112,000, the setup strengthens for an extended rally toward $124,500.
Institutions Position for Long-Term Gains
For traders, the key levels are clear: above $116,850, momentum could carry BTC toward $120,900 and $124,500; below, it could retreat to $108,695. Overall, volatility is building, which may soon resolve in favor of the bulls.
ETF inflows highlight a quiet but decisive positioning by institutional investors for a long-term Bitcoin cycle. The narrative of Bitcoin eventually reaching six figures or perhaps even $1 million remains tied to this steady stream of adoption. With liquidity returning and technicals tightening, Bitcoin could be preparing for its next major leg higher, offering long-term holders and presale investors a rich opportunity.
