Bitcoin struggles below resistance as ETF inflows support market sentiment
Bitcoin

​Bitcoin is trading near the $62,500 to $63,000 area after recovering from last week's sharp selloff. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have posted several consecutive sessions of net inflows, helping stabilize sentiment after an extended period of institutional withdrawals. 

While the renewed demand suggests investors are gradually rebuilding exposure, market participants remain cautious as the recent inflows have yet to reverse the broader trend established during the June correction.

Macro uncertainty continues to limit upside

The broader macro backdrop remains challenging for risk assets. Investors continue to monitor Federal Reserve policy expectations, while renewed geopolitical tensions have increased demand for defensive assets across global markets. Rising volatility in equities and stronger demand for safe havens have limited Bitcoin's ability to build sustained upside momentum despite improving ETF flows.

Long-term adoption story remains intact

Despite recent price volatility, institutional participation continues to expand. Spot Bitcoin ETFs remain the primary source of regulated demand, and recent inflows into products led by BlackRock and several other issuers suggest that long-term investors continue to accumulate during periods of weakness. Analysts increasingly view the recent rebound as an encouraging development, although confirmation will require several more weeks of consistent inflows rather than isolated positive sessions.

Technical picture points to consolidation

The 30-minute chart shows Bitcoin consolidating around the $62,600 area after failing to sustain a move above recent highs near $63,000. Price remains above the rising 200-period moving average, indicating that the broader short-term recovery remains intact, while the short and medium-term moving averages have started to flatten, reflecting weakening momentum. A decisive break above nearby resistance, as stated in the article Bitcoin remains under pressure as Middle East tensions weigh on risk appetite, would strengthen the bullish outlook, while a move below the recent support zone could expose Bitcoin to another test of last week's lows.
