Bitcoin spot ETFs saw steady inflows, with BlackRock’s IBIT taking the lead. As BTC hits new highs, investor sentiment strengthens, indicating a bullish trend ahead.

On Tuesday, Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded over $300 million in net inflows, marking the fifth consecutive day of capital influx into these funds.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) attracted the largest portion of Tuesday’s inflows as the leading coin closed above $106,000 for the first time since January 21.

The steady pace of inflows over the past five days indicates a broader shift in market sentiment. Institutional players appear increasingly confident in BTC’s medium-term trajectory, prompting them to consistently allocate capital to the funds backed by the coin despite short-term market fluctuations. 

On Tuesday, BlackRock’s ETF IBIT recorded the largest daily net inflow, totaling $287.45 million, bringing its total cumulative net inflows to $46.15 billion.

Fidelity’s spot Bitcoin ETF, FBTC, recorded the second-largest daily inflow that day, attracting $23.26 million. This brings its total historical net inflows to $11.81 billion.

Bitcoin Blasts Past $107,000

Today, the king coin has broken above the psychological $107,000 resistance level, indicating a spike in bullish pressure in the spot markets. As of this writing, the leading cryptocurrency trades at $107,421, noting a modest 2% gain over the past day. 

Open interest in BTC futures has also surged as the price climbs, indicating increased capital inflow across its derivatives markets. At press time, this is at $74.24 billion, up 4% during the review period.

When an asset’s price and open interest increase, it signals that new money is entering the market and that the current trend, usually bullish, is gaining strength. This trend reflects growing investor confidence behind BTC’s price move.

Moreover, options market data shows growing demand for call contracts, supporting the bullish outlook above. This indicates that traders continue to position for further upside in BTC’s price.

If these trends persist, the leading coin may be entering a new phase of accumulation, pushing it to a new all-time high in the near term.
