Crypto investment products saw a sixth straight inflow week (~$858M), led by Bitcoin, with CLARITY Act optimism fueling momentum as BTC hung near $81k.
Abstract: The article reports that crypto investment products posted a sixth consecutive week of inflows totaling about $858 million, driven by Bitcoin and lifted by positive sentiment around the CLARITY Act negotiations and upcoming votes. It notes Bitcoin above $76k and near $81k, with the overall crypto market cap around $2.6–$2.66 trillion, and highlights inflows into Ethereum, Solana, and Ripple, as well as a notable outflow from short-Bitcoin products. It suggests policy catalysts are shaping near-term flows and institutional interest.

For a long time, crypto trading was mostly treated as its own world. Traders bought Bitcoin, rotated into altcoins, watched funding rates, followed exchange flows, and waited for the next major move.
That world still exists, of course. But crypto is starting to play a bigger role.

Ethena (ENA) has formed a bullish 1-day structure beyond $0.12, nearing $0.136; despite mixed volume signals, a close above $0.13 supports further upside with weekend volatility risk.

Summary: Dogecoin steadied after a bounce, showing a weekly bullish backdrop but a still-bearish near-term setup, suggesting a full recovery remains unlikely.
Abstract: This article analyzes Dogecoin’s price action, noting that the $0.088 support held in April and the move above $0.10, despite warnings that the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement near $0.117 could trigger renewed downside. While the weekly swing is technically bullish, the 12-hour structure remains bearish and buyer strength has been limited. With ongoing profit-taking risk among short-term holders and weak spot demand, a robust multi-week recovery from the $0.08 weekly swing low seems unlikely. The recent 24-hour bounce indicates short-term bullish momentum, but a sustained rally to new highs faces significant resistance.

SOPR above 1 for nine days, with MVRV and NRPL confirming profit stabilization, suggests growing profitability without a bullish breakout; realized profits and speculative activity remain weaker than in 2025.
Abstract: This article analyzes on-chain indicators for Bitcoin, focusing on the adjusted SOPR, MVRV, and NRPL to gauge profitability and market sentiment. Since May, SOPR has stayed above 1 for nine consecutive days, signaling sustained profit-taking rather than a one-off event. A prior similar run occurred in late 2025. While these metrics point to a shift toward profitability, the price action and on-chain data indicate that this does not yet constitute a bullish regime. Short-term profits are visible, but long-term unrealized losses persist, and realized profits remain modest relative to the 2025 rally, implying cautious optimism rather than exuberance.
