Fresh Breeze in Crypto Land: A Billion Here, a Billion There
Large investment funds pour in $2B to crypto markets - Could Bitcoin surge towards $100,000?
Let's dive into the hustle and bustle of crypto funds, where big bucks are flowing like never before! Last week, crypto funds padded their coffers with an extra $2 billion, racking up a grand total of $5.4 billion over the past two weeks, courtesy of CoinShares' weekly flows report.
Here's the scoop: The week prior, crypto ETFs were the toast of the town, gulping down a staggering $3.4 billion in demand. This resurgence in interest coincided with Donald Trump's cryptic hints about a potential U.S-China trade deal, sparking a renewed sense of risk-on sentiment and sending crypto prices soaring.
Top Dogs in the Crypto Kingdom
When it comes to performance, Bitcoin [BTC] continued its reign as the king of the hill, attracting a massive $1.84 billion in demand. Ethereum [ETH] came in a close second with $149 million inflows.
On the altcoin front, XRP managed to maintain its lead this week, raking in $10.5 million, while Solana [SOL] managed to garner $6 million in interest. But the real surprise was SUI, which only saw $0.3 million in demand—a far cry from SOL's substantial jump from $5.7 million in outflows the week before. Could it be that investors are rotating away from SUI to other altcoins? Let's not forget that SUI's inflows shrank by a significant 20x from $20 million to less than $0.5 million over the same period.
As for XRP investors, they remained steadfast, while SOL saw the largest rebound in demand. Bitcoin's sustained inflows propelled its price towards the $98k mark. However, due to a 4% dip in recovery gains, it slipped back to $94k ahead of the Fed rate decision on Wednesday. The market's reaction to this monetary policy announcement will play a crucial role in shaping demand for crypto funds this week.
On the price chart, Bitcoin seemed headed for the $92k range low and support. As long as the price action stays above the previous range-low and key moving averages, there's hope for another run at the $100k mark. However, a sustained dip below $92k and the moving averages could spell trouble for the $100k dream.
So, buckle up, folks! The ride's just getting started!
Insider Tips: The recent trend of significant inflows into Bitcoin ETFs has been a rollercoaster ride. While inflows have been predominant in May, they have experienced correctional setbacks, such as a net outflow of $85.7 million on May 6. Overall inflows for May remain positive at $1.43 billion, but the recent outflow and the lack of inflows into Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF on May 7 suggest a cautious market mood that could impact the continuation of the $2 billion inflow trend this week.
