Start for freeBitcoin Breaks Key Resistance as ETF Inflows Surge
Bitcoin is showing signs of a potential breakout, with the cryptocurrency finally pushing above a key area of short-term resistance. This comes as spot Bitcoin ETFs saw one of their largest net inflows in weeks, totaling over $900 million on Friday alone.
Massive ETF Inflows Signal Buying Pressure
The nearly $1 billion inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs on Friday more than made up for the net outflow seen the previous day. For those new to crypto ETFs, these inflows represent significant buying pressure. As money flows into the ETFs, providers like BlackRock and Fidelity must purchase Bitcoin to back the funds.
Technical Analysis Points to Continued Bullish Momentum
Looking at the Bitcoin charts, several indicators suggest the overall bull market remains intact:
- The weekly timeframe continues to show a bull market signal
- The 4-day chart's super trend indicator remains green, signaling a larger bull market
- The daily chart is close to invalidating a bearish divergence
However, the weekly chart does show a confirmed bearish divergence, with higher price highs but lower RSI highs. This serves as a warning signal on larger timeframes, but does not necessarily guarantee an immediate end to the bull market.
Short-Term Price Action and Resistance Levels
On the 12-hour chart, Bitcoin is breaking out above the resistance zone between $97,000-$98,000 based on the volume profile indicator. A sustained break above $98,000 would be a bullish signal, with the next short-term resistance levels to watch at:
- $99,500
- $100,000
- $101,500-$102,000
If Bitcoin pulls back, expect support in the $97,000-$98,000 range. A drop below $97,000 would shift focus to support at $94,000 and especially $92,000.
Potential for a Short Squeeze
The Bitcoin liquidation heat map shows significant liquidity around the $100,000 level. A break above this price could trigger a short squeeze, as short positions get liquidated and traders are forced to buy back in, potentially accelerating the price move higher.
Conversely, there is also liquidity to the downside around $91,300-$91,400. A break below the critical $91,000-$92,000 support zone could potentially trigger a long squeeze to the downside.
Ethereum Breaks Out, Invalidates Bearish Divergence
Ethereum has broken out above key short-term resistance, with a daily candle close confirming a move above $3,560. This breakout invalidates the recent bearish divergence on the daily timeframe.
Key Levels to Watch for Ethereum
- New support zone: $3,430-$3,560
- Major resistance ahead: $3,900-$4,100
A break above $4,100 could signal the next significant bullish move in the larger Ethereum bull market.

- Resistance to break: $0.65
