Bitcoin jumped over 5% to $81,450 amid strong ETF inflows, positive regulatory developments like an SEC tokenised-stock trading exemption, CFTC crypto proposals, and a short squeeze triggered by oil price swings.
The $81,800–$82,500 region acts as the primary resistance zone, where a sustained break could push prices toward $83,000–$84,000, while $80,000 serves as the initial important support level.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs finished the week with a marginal $6.2 million net inflow after heavy midweek redemptions were offset by buying on Thursday and Friday, whereas Ether ETFs experienced weaker performance with roughly $140 million in net outflows.
