Key Bitcoin indicators, which had been close to signaling a downturn, are now reflecting a bull market. The price saw a brief dip for three days, but the data suggests a robust bull market, with expectations of a market rebound within two weeks.
The drop in Bitcoin’s value to $50K triggered record futures trading volumes of $154 billion and spot trading volumes of $83 billion, the second-highest ever. This dip was followed by a 23% recovery from its weekly low.
Despite fluctuations, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF has remained stable, with only one day of outflows since January and over $20 billion invested. Recently, BTC ETFs saw $194 million in inflows after five days of outflows, with significant inflows whenever BTC nears $50K, indicating that major investors are buying the dips.
A recurring pattern has been observed around the 5th of each month, with Bitcoin experiencing sharp drops followed by significant rallies in both July and August. This could suggest that BTC is absorbing sell-side liquidity, signaling potential upward movement. Analysts see the $70K peak as a short-term high.
Veteran trader Peter Brandt has reignited discussion around Bitcoin’s long-term parabolic trajectory by sharing an updated version of what he now calls the “Bitcoin Banana.”
Bitcoin is once again mirroring global liquidity trends—and that could have major implications in the days ahead.
The crypto market is showing signs of cautious optimism. While prices remain elevated, sentiment indicators and trading activity suggest investors are stepping back to reassess risks rather than diving in further.
Citigroup analysts say the key to Bitcoin’s future isn’t mining cycles or halving math—it’s ETF inflows.
