Bitcoin Rebounds Amid Institutional Interest, Faces $70K Resistance

Bitcoin experienced a volatile week, rebounding from lows around $62,350 to approach $70,000, fueled by renewed ETF inflows and a calmer macro environment. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant turnaround, attracting $257.7 million on Tuesday and $506.5 million on Wednesday – the largest daily total since February 2nd – led by BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity. This surge coincides with Citibank’s announcement of planned Bitcoin services in 2026, signaling increasing institutional adoption, with 60% of US banks reportedly developing BTC products. However, the $70,000 level remains a key resistance point, with Glassnode highlighting demand exhaustion and thin liquidity preventing sustained upside. Ethereum also saw gains, surpassing $2,000, but faces headwinds from substantial sales by Vitalik Buterin and institutional holders, contributing to a bearish outlook. A White House crypto summit focused on stablecoin regulation may yield progress, potentially including a strategic reserve incorporating BTC, ETH, and XRP. Despite positive momentum, analysts caution about potential downside risk and the need for a weekly close above $68,000 to confirm the bullish trend.
