Despite a short-term correction in Bitcoin’s BTC $96 611 24h volatility: 2.1% Market cap: $1.92 T Vol. 24h: $29.09 B price on Monday, institutional interest remained strong. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a massive $667 million in net inflows on May 19, signaling strategic approach to market dips.
Notably, in the past month, outflows were recorded on only three trading days. Currently, the funds are experiencing a four-day streak of net inflows, as the Crypto Fear and Greed Index edges deeper into “greed” levels.
On Monday, BlackRock’s IBIT led the inflow, attracting $306 million. This dominant contributor has now accumulated roughly $6.5 billion in total inflows since launch. In just the last four trading days, the ETF added another $1.1 billion to its tally.
Other top ETFs also showed robust inflows. Fidelity’s FBTC brought in $188 million, while Ark Invest’s ARKB attracted $155 million, according to Farside Investors. These inflows led to a 3% BTC price recovery from Monday’s dip.
Analysts believe this bullish momentum may continue. Popular crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen noted that Bitcoin is on the verge of a “golden cross,” a technical indicator where the 50-day SMA crosses above the 200-day SMA. This formation historically suggests a strong long-term upward trend.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading just below its peak, leading to concerns of a double-top reversal if BTC climbed past $107,000. Swissblock Technologies, a private wealth firm, dismissed these “noises,” stating that Bitcoin’s trend remains “intact.”
A lot of noise about a potential double top as $BTC struggles to break ATH.
🔹But the BFI tells a different story: no signs of bearish divergence.
🔹If this were a real double top, BFI would be breaking down.
🔹Even during the Feb–Mar pullback, it held neutral, never dipped into… pic.twitter.com/pKli16OgPs— Swissblock (@swissblock__) May 20, 2025
The firm’s Bitcoin Fundamental Index (BFI), which aggregates key trend metrics, continues to hold steady in the neutral zone. According to Swissblock, a real reversal would have already caused the index to drop to weaker levels.

As Bitcoin maintains strong momentum, a meme coin called Bitcoin Bull (BTCBULL) is drawing attention for its unique presale model. Interestingly, the token’s reward system is tied to BTC’s price gains.
For every $25,000 jump in Bitcoin’s value between $100K and $250K, BTCBULL holders unlock new benefits like token burns and BTC airdrops. The biggest reward is set for when Bitcoin hits $250K.
The Bitcoin Bull team has already raised over $6 million in BTCBULL presale, closing in on its $6.9 million target.
BTCBULL Presale Details:
The presale is closing in less than a day after which the team could increase the BTCBULL’s value. As Bitcoin continues to go up in full force, early BTCBULL holders are eyeing major upside.
