4 min read

Bitcoin (BTC) crossed $95,000 during the current session as bulls eye a breakout beyond $100,000. Analysts believe it is only a matter of time before the flagship cryptocurrency retakes $100,000. BTC was last at this level at the beginning of February. BTC dipped to a low of $92,899 during the ongoing session but recovered to register an increase of over 1% to trade at its current level. Bitcoin Upside Could Halt At $100,000 Bitcoin’s (BTC) recovery could stall at $100,000 despite ETF inflows worth $3 billion. Market watchers and analysts are questioning if high ETF inflows have always marked a top for the flagship cryptocurrency. BTC has should bullishness and resilience, recovering from a multi-month low of $74,500. The recovery was fueled by growing investor appetite for spot Bitcoin ETFs, which registered over $3 billion in net weekly inflows, the most since December 2024. Analysts are looking at whether high spot Bitcoin ETF inflows mean the price is getting closer to a local top by analyzing historical data. The analysts discovered that while there have been instances where significant inflows have coincided with or preceded price peaks, it has not always been the case. According to the available historical data, Bitcoin ETFs saw record inflows of over $1 billion on March 12. These inflows preceded Bitcoin’s new all-time high of around $73,300, suggesting a potential top signal. Similarly, daily inflows notched up another high on June 3, 2024, coinciding with BTC’s rally from $67,000 to $72,000, supporting the idea that substantial ETF inflows precede local tops. However, November 2024 saw weekly inflows hit $3.38 billion as BTC surged from one all-time high to another. However, this did not immediately translate to a price top. Instead, the price rallied to cross $100,000 and set a new all-time high.

Its dominance comes despite charging fees up to seven times higher than its competitors. Nate Geraci, President of the ETF Store, stated on X, “Nearly 16mos after spot BTC ETFs launched, GBTC still making more $$$ than all of the other ETFs combined… And it’s not even close.” Grayscale generates $268.5 million in annual revenue with a 1.5% expense ratio applied to $17.9 billion in assets under management. Meanwhile, all other US Bitcoin ETFs generate little over $211 million from a total of $89 billion in assets under management.
