Bitcoin Price Strengthens Above $100K
BTC started 2025 strongly. It has stayed above the $100,000 level for seven consecutive days, establishing this as a key support zone for BTC. Institutional investor interest remains strong. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) fund made a significant inflow of $232.9 million on May 14th. This brought total ETF inflows close to the $400 billion mark. Other major players like Fidelity and Ark have also made substantial investments in Bitcoin ETFs.
Following the US-China trade ceasefire, recession fears have eased. This development has positively impacted Bitcoin’s price. As market uncertainty decreases, institutional investors continue to view Bitcoin as a safe haven. Daily ETF inflows average around $4.4 billion. This strong demand supports Bitcoin’s consolidation above $103,000.
US ETF flows hit $400b on the year, that's a breathtaking $4.4b/day pace, on track to surpass $1T again this year nearly HALF of this has gone into US Equities) led by $VOO at $60b which is absurd, on pace to finish with $164b (60% ahead of last year's record). pic.twitter.com/Gs7FVZMFqL

Additionally, assets under management in spot Bitcoin ETFs have surpassed $41 billion. IBIT stands out with nearly 40% market share. Investors find easier access to Bitcoin through these ETFs, which increases BTC liquidity and leads to healthier price movements.
ETF Inflows and Bitcoin’s Future
In 2025, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will decide on altcoin ETF applications. This development could trigger new waves in the crypto markets. ETF investments are expected to exceed the $1 trillion threshold. This would positively influence the prices of BTC and other crypto assets.
From a technical perspective, BTC maintains its upward potential as long as it stays above the $101,000 support level. Indicators like the Donchian Channel and Parabolic SAR show that the price has found strong support. Analysts suggest BTC is targeting new highs in the $106,000–$108,000 range.
A short-term drop in volume is considered normal. During this phase, price movements enter an accumulation stage. Momentum indicators such as the Klinger Oscillator still give positive signals, indicating the trend is likely to continue.
However, if the $98,700 support is broken, the bullish outlook could become invalid. Such a breakdown would make reaching the $110,000 target difficult. For now, the current market structure is developing in BTC favor.
