Bullish
Bullish for BTC because di later report show near $994M inflows into spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) plus Bitcoin do small positive for the week (+1.71%). Earlier report self talk strong IBIT inflows and say people prefer crypto exposure, and this update increase the inflow number and show clear “risk-on” vibes for tech (XLK) and SPY. Gold and silver get outflows — no too good for broad risk hedging — but the continuing inflows to Bitcoin ETF mean demand dey stay with BTC rather than dey rotate away.
Short term: traders fit see steady Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) inflows as short-term bid, support dips and make momentum better.
Longer term: if this weekly flow pattern continue, e fit strengthen positioning in spot BTC and make people more confident say demand go last. But pockets of outflows for equity sectors (utilities/financials/real estate) show rotation risk; if flows reverse, BTC fit chop volatility. Overall, balance still bend towards positive price pressure on BTC.
