I see that Bitcoin ETF inflows have reached almost $1 billion this week—that's the biggest week since January. Institutional money is really coming in, especially last Friday with only $663 million in a single day. This is encouraging for bulls, but honestly, the market situation is a bit complicated right now because many factors are countering this.
Bitcoin is at over $81K and remains relatively stable over the past 24 hours, but there is pressure due to geopolitical news about Iran and the US ship incident. I also see a similar pattern in other major tokens—ETH, XRP, SOL—all relatively flat or slightly down. The real concern now is the DeFi hack of Kelp, which impacted Aave and other protocols. I saw the AAVE token around $100, but many users are withdrawing liquidity due to bank run concerns.
Technically, SOL has been struggling—it remains below the $95.16 support level for 12 weeks straight. If it doesn't bounce back soon, it might test deeper lows toward $50. A strong volume push is needed to reverse the bearish sentiment. The overall take: institutional demand for Bitcoin is strong, but the market is cautious due to external risks and DeFi concerns. It’s important to monitor whether the inflow momentum will be sustained or if this is just tactical positioning.
