Neutral
Di shift wey dey happen from retail Bitcoin demand weh dey onchain activity go spot Bitcoin ETFs dey show opposite signals for market. Strong ETF money dem wey dem dey flow and $135 billion wey dey managed (AUM) dey show say offchain demand strong, but small-wallet transactions wey don reach multi-year low and daily negative net demand (–$857 K) dey talk say price support no too dey. If no fresh macro catalyst dem—like interest rate cuts—ETF inflows alone fit no fit carry price go higher. Dis balanced mix of bullish participation inside regulated channels and bearish onchain indicators dey lead to neutral market outlook.
