Despite headwinds from global macro uncertainty, digital assets continue to attract capital alongside safe-haven assets like gold, which is nearing its all-time high despite escalation of tensions in the Middle East.
Regionally, the US took the lead with $1.9 billion in inflows, while smaller contributions came from Switzerland, Germany, and Canada. Notably, Hong Kong saw $56.8 million in outflows, signaling a divergence in sentiment within APAC despite broader bullish trends.
Supporting this uptrend, Glassnode data confirms that BTC’s 25 Delta Skew has flipped decisively bullish, especially in short-dated options. The 1-week skew jumped from -2.6% to +10.1%, while the 1-month moved from -2.2% to +4.9%.

These rising skews imply that traders are increasingly betting on near-term upside or volatility, even in the face of a slight price pullback.
According to on-chain analyst Darkfost, BTC inflows to Binance from both whales and retail investors are at historic lows, suggesting neither group is eager to sell.
The synchronized holding behavior, rare and historically significant, suggests a strong market-wide conviction in Bitcoin’s longer-term trajectory, impacting sentiment across various sectors, including crypto casinos.
Darkfost notes that synchronized inflows have historically signaled local tops. Their absence now suggests we’re far from a cycle peak, with both whales and retail quietly accumulating in anticipation of macro clarity or a potential price breakout.
From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin remains structurally bullish, currently priced at $106,941. The immediate resistance lies near $107,400 (Fib 0.236 level), which BTC is currently testing. A breakout here opens room to retest all-time highs around $112K.
Strong support appears near $101,400 (Fib 0.786) and $98,900 (Fib 1.0). These levels are key if any pullback occurs. Should the rally continue, extended Fibonacci targets rest at $117K, $128K, and $137K, representing the 1.618, 2.618, and 3.618 extensions, respectively.
