- Outflows exceeded $600 million in a single week as large holders trimmed positions and exchange inflows increased, signaling heightened caution among major investors.

ETF inflows temper as major holders signal renewed caution
Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US reached their two-year anniversary, accumulating approximately $57 billion in net inflows, despite notable outflows exceeding $600 million in a single week. Large holders have reduced their positions as exchange inflows rose and ETF outflows continued, reflecting increased caution among major market participants. The SEC’s approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 notably shifted liquidity and market participation toward Wall Street and traditional finance.
Mixed momentum emerges as oscillators battle within tight ranges
The nearest dynamic support is the Ichimoku Kijun at $89,619.55, while resistance is now defined by the MA-50 and the psychological $92,500 area. Momentum indicators are mixed: while the MACD signals further upside, the ADX is weak and neutral. The RSI stands at 52.26, pointing to mild bullish conditions, with both the Stochastic RSI and CCI remaining near neutral and suggesting no overbought or oversold extremes. Bull/Bear Power is elevated with a pronounced overbought reading, confirming buyer dominance intraday; however, oscillator divergences indicate an ongoing tug-of-war between bullish momentum and fading trend strength.
Limited upside expected as bearish bias overshadows range trading
In the next 5 trading days, BTC is expected to trade in a range between $88,000 and $94,000, in line with its typical volatility band relative to current levels. With just one of four key weekly signals (the MA-100) turning bullish, the probability of further upside remains low (less than 20%), so a decline to the $88,000–$89,000 support zone is more likely. Baseline expectations are for choppy sideways action between $89,000 and $92,000, reflecting market indecision, while a bullish scenario requires a sustained close above $92,500 to target $94,000.
Previously it was reported that global pension funds are cautiously experimenting with limited cryptocurrency exposure, primarily through regulated products like ETFs rather than direct ownership, and this integration remains highly selective due to regulatory, fiduciary, and behavioral constraints. Last time, analysts noted that despite growing institutional interest, cryptocurrencies have not become a core retirement asset class, with most pension strategies restricting allocation to a small portion of portfolios and highlighting persistent concerns over volatility, risk management, and alignment with long-term retirement objectives.
