Just noticed the institutional Bitcoin ETF buying pressure is still pretty strong. Friday saw over $240 million in daily inflows across spot Bitcoin ETF products, with BlackRock's IBIT leading at $137.6M. This kind of consistent institutional demand has been keeping BTC supported above the $72K level we saw back in mid-April. Now BTC is trading around $77.7K, which shows decent recovery momentum.
That said, the setup looks mixed to me. Yeah, the Bitcoin ETF flows are solid and companies are still accumulating, but the derivatives data shows heavy speculative positioning - large traders are heavily long while commercials are short. It's that classic setup where volatility could spike either way. The key zone to watch is $72-74K as support. If we hold there and push higher, could see $80-85K territory. But if we get rejected, pullback risk is real.
So Bitcoin ETF demand is there, but I'm keeping an eye on those resistance levels before getting too bullish. Market's at a crossroads right now.
