- Monitoring ETF current trends In addition to important technical levels, it will be essential when assessing the BTC process in the short term.
Bitcoin [BTC] is between $ 81,000 and $ 85,000, since its decrease up to $ 78ka week ago. Changing the $ 85k resistance to a solid demand zone is now the key to a rally.

Drawing a potential bitcoin base
Bitcoin saw half a billion dollars on 17 and 18 March intake In BTC ETFs. This meant the first consecutive institutional inflow this month.
In the meantime, the fear index, which shifts from “extreme fear” to fear, has indicated a potential soil historically, which offers a chance to buy BTC with a discount for surplus returns.

But despite strong intake and accumulation, Bitcoin still struggled to break $ 85k. Heavy leverage with support keeps it above $ 80k, but prohibits liquidations when taking a profit starts at $ 85k.
In other words, every BTC dip sees a peak in it lever And a jump of $ 2 billion in open interest (OI). But while BTC $ 85k wins back, sluitations, OI relaxationAnd the price drops back to $ 80k.

Leverage continues to rise, with Oi An increase of 0.64% to $ 48.80 billion. However, the weak spot demand increases the chance of a long squeeze as soon as Bitcoin crosses this level.
Without strong institutional accumulation, liquidity could rise on the sales side, leading to mass liquidations of long positions and withdrawing a potential retirement to the $ 80k demand zone.
To make this set -up invalid and to activate a Bear Trap, Bitcoin must generate a strong buying momentum for $ 85k to break resistance.
