Key takeaways<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Bitcoin briefly topped the $81,000 mark on Tuesday, the highest level in three months.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Crypto sentiment improves, with inflows into US-listed spot ETFs totaling $154 million last week.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering just below the $81,000 mark on Tuesday after adding 1% to its value in the last 24 hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The broader crypto market remains constructive, with Ethereum (ETH) and XRP (Ripple) posting mild gains, reflecting a steady improvement in overall sentiment.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Sentiment improves as capital flows return<\/h2>\n

    Market confidence is gradually recovering, supported by rising inflows into digital asset investment products. The Crypto Fear & 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

    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

    Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/span> 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

    Cumulative ETF inflows now stand at $58.72 billion, with assets under management averaging $103.78 billion, underscoring persistent institutional demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Bitcoin\u2019s recent move above $81,000 triggered notable liquidations. Short positions took the largest hit, with approximately $138 million wiped out, compared to around $46 million in long liquidations.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Bitcoin eyes the $90k psychological level<\/h2>\n

    The BTC\/USD 4-hour chart is bullish and efficient as Bitcoin is trading above $80,800. While the price has reclaimed this long-term support, it remains capped below the 100-week EMA at $82,352, and the 50-week EMA at $85,777These levels continue to act as key resistance zones, limiting a full bullish breakout for now.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Momentum indicators suggest a market in recovery mode. The RSI on the daily chart sits near 48, close to neutral territory, while the MACD remains positive, signaling improving \u2014 but not dominant \u2014 bullish momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"BTC\/USD<\/p>\n

    If the rally persists, key resistance levels to watch include $82,352 (100-week EMA) and $85,777 (50-week EMA).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    However, if the bears regain control, key support levels would be seen at\u00a0 $68,061 (200-week EMA) and $65,981 (trendline level).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    A sustained weekly close above the upper resistance band would be needed to confirm a stronger medium-term bullish shift.<\/span><\/p>\n
