Bitcoin sees a sharp rise, surpassing the $100,000 mark due to significant institutional investments in U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Impact of ETF Investments on Bitcoin Price
Over the past weekend and on Monday, U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw nearly $1 billion in inflows, supporting Bitcoin's price surge and indicating strong institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency. On Monday, ETFs attracted a total inflow of $978 million, with Fidelity’s FBTC contributing $370.2 million and BlackRock’s IBIT $209.1 million.
Corporate Support for Bitcoin
Companies like MicroStrategy continue to increase their investments in Bitcoin. On Monday, MicroStrategy announced the purchase of 1,070 BTC, worth approximately $101 million. Despite a recent slowdown in acquisitions, the company plans to allocate $42 billion more to Bitcoin over the next three years.
Market Forecasts and Potential Corrections
Despite positive outlooks, the Bitcoin market may face a short-term correction. $BTC is currently overbought, and a pullback to support levels at $100,000 and $96,300 is possible, which could provide a foundation for future growth.
Despite possible volatility, market sentiment remains optimistic with Bitcoin's total market capitalization reaching $2 trillion. Speculations about a potential U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve further fuel positive sentiments.
