Bitcoin chases range highs despite rising BTC exchange inflows: Is $80K next?
Bitcoin reclaimed $77,000 despite rising exchange supply and spot BTC ETF outflows. Will bulls push BTC to $80,000 this week?
Bitcoin (BTC) needs fresh spot demand to absorb the rising BTC supply across exchanges and exchange-traded funds. Recent exchange inflows and ETF outflows created nearly 34,000 BTC in local selling pressure, while derivatives data showed the latest recovery was driven mostly by short covering.
Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr. said BTC exchange and exchange-traded fund (ETF) activity continue to show a local supply imbalance despite the latest recovery. The weekly exchange netflows climbed by roughly 18,000 BTC, indicating more coins were added to exchanges than were withdrawn. Higher BTC inflows increase the near-term selling supply.
