The Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index has climbed to 47 from 29 a day earlier \u2014 a sharp rebound, though still within the \u201cfear\u201d zone. Notably, this marks a significant improvement from last month\u2019s average of 11, which signaled extreme fear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this upward trend continues, it could reinforce expectations for Bitcoin to reclaim $80,000 as support and potentially grind higher toward the $90,000 level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recorded their fifth consecutive week of inflows, adding $154 million through Friday. While this is down from the prior week\u2019s $824 million, the data still highlights sustained investor appetite for crypto exposure \u2014 even amid geopolitical tensions such as the ongoing US\u2013Iran situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cumulative ETF inflows now stand at $58.72 billion, with assets under management averaging $103.78 billion, underscoring persistent institutional demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitcoin\u2019s recent move above $81,000 triggered notable liquidations.
