Bitcoin's been holding up pretty well around $73.98K lately, and there's been some solid ETF buying pressure. Spot ETFs pulled in another $155 million just this week, keeping that two-week streak alive with roughly $1.47 billion in fresh allocations. Feels like institutional money is finally getting more comfortable after a rough start to the year.

That said, the on-chain picture is telling a different story. Glassnode's data shows buy momentum is actually weakening - realized profits have tanked and only about 57% of Bitcoin supply is in profit right now. That's historically been a warning sign for early bear conditions, so there's definitely some fragility underneath despite the ETF inflows looking good.

What's interesting though is how the narrative around Bitcoin is shifting. More investors seem to be viewing it as a geopolitical hedge now rather than just another risk asset. The 24/7 trading and instant border-crossing capability compared to traditional hedges like gold is resonating with macro players. Whether that's enough to push past the resistance levels though, especially with short-term holders sitting near breakeven around $70K, that's the real question.
