The BTC Price Action

After facing heavy selling pressure on Thursday. the Bitcoin price has bounced back once again. As of press time, the BTC price has jumped 4.5% from yesterday’s low of $53,500 and is currently trading at $56,500 with a market cap of $1.114 trillion.

The recent Bitcoin surge is basically due to strong inflows in spot Bitcoin ETFs on Friday. After facing some minor outflows earlier this week, the Bitcoin ETFs recorded $143 million in inflows on Friday, with Fidelity leading the show. These inflows clearly suggest that institutions have been scooping the supply amid the current market fall.

However, it will be interesting to see whether Bitcoin bulls can take charge further from here or will the bears continue to dominate. For Bitcoin to resume the rally, the bulls must take the BTC price above $61,000.
