U.S. Spot Bitcoin [BTC] ETFs Just Logged Their Largest Single-Day Inflow in Nearly a Month – Adding 7,869 BTC

This surge is part of a broader wave of investment momentum returning to the digital asset space, a sign that institutional players may be gearing up for a renewed push into Bitcoin.

U.S. Spot Bitcoin [BTC] ETFs clocked their largest single-day inflow in nearly a month as they added 7,869 BTC on Friday. This massive inflow further highlighted the persistent interest of institutional players in the world’s leading cryptocurrency.

As reported by blockchain analytics firm Glassnode, the huge inflow into Bitcoin ETFs came as no surprise. Over the past few months, large investors, like Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest, have been actively buying up BTC despite the market downturn.

This optimism in Bitcoin is crucial as it could bring sustained bullish momentum in the market. Moreover, with confidence in the digital asset class continuing to grow, especially among institutional players, these inflows could also bring further momentum.

Highlighting the bullish trend, Open Interest across all exchanges has also been trending sharply higher. For example, according to CryptoQuant, Open Interest rose from approximately $31 billion in late April to over $37 billion by 26 May.

The parallel rise in Bitcoin's price and Open Interest suggested that capital inflows have not been passive. Instead, they are actively fueling directional bets, setting the stage for further upside volatility.

As of press time, Bitcoin was trading at around $109,616. The crypto consolidated after a sharp move north, which also saw it breach the $110,000 level. Its daily RSI stood at 67.48, hovering just below the overbought threshold of 70. This hinted at strong bullish momentum, with the crypto not flashing warning signs of exhaustion just yet.

Healthy technical structure may be setting up for further BTC upside

A closer look at Bitcoin's price action revealed a series of higher highs and higher lows, especially since March 2023. This structure was a fundamental characteristic of uptrends.

After the recent price decline from the highs of $112,000, BTC formed a continuation pattern in the form of a bullish flag, which was a common technical structure that occurred during healthy price trends.

This technical structure may provide the boost for BTC to test new highs in the short term, especially if ETF inflows continued.
