Key Questions Answered
Technically, the $80,000 to $80,700 range serves as a critical support region for Bitcoin, while a recovery above $82,000 to $83,200 is needed to improve the short-term market structure. A sustained break below $80,000 could expose levels between $78,000 and $79,500.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $175.62 million and Ethereum ETFs recorded $24.84 million in inflows, successfully ending a ten-session withdrawal streak. This institutional demand helped offset wider macro pressure and derivatives liquidations.
Experts advise investors to avoid reacting to every market swing, manage risk through staggered entries and disciplined position sizing, monitor inflation data and ETF flows, and avoid excessive leverage during sharp price swings.
