According to GTRadar’s weekly report this week, the increase in ETF inflows this week seems to be evidence of a rebound in institutional demand. However, whether this demand can continue to increase depends on whether Bitcoin can break through key resistance levels and the impact of this week’s non-farm payrolls data. result.

Stocklytics analyst Neil Roarty also expressed a similar view, saying during the interview:

“The question now is whether these institutional investors will remain bullish. This will be closely related to interest rates. If we see the Fed cut rates early, Bitcoin’s recent strong returns will be compared to more traditional and perhaps safer investments. It might look more attractive."
