Odaily News Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on the X platform, stating that Bitcoin ETF inflows have surpassed $10 billion this year, successfully reversing the previous net outflow situation and achieving positive growth. The next key observation metric is the cumulative historical net inflow size (the most important and challenging indicator), which previously peaked at $62.8 billion and is currently around $58 billion, still about $5 billion away from setting a new historical high. During the development of an asset class, the key is to control the scale of outflows during market downturns to reduce subsequent recovery pressure; in this regard, spot Bitcoin ETFs have outperformed other popular asset classes.

According to The Block, despite renewed U.S.-Iran tensions disrupting expectations for the Strait of Hormuz and triggering volatility across oil, stock, and cryptocurrency markets, Bitcoin stabilized near $75,200 on Monday. Analysts noted that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net inflows of $996.4 million last week—the strongest weekly performance since mid-January—reflecting institutional demand supporting the market. However, the market remains in a “fragile equilibrium,” with stablecoin balances continuing to rise, indicating that liquidity within the crypto market is rotating internally rather than flowing out.
CoinShares’ latest weekly report shows that digital asset investment products recorded $1.4 billion in net inflows last week—the third consecutive week of net inflows and the largest single-week inflow since January—with total assets under management reaching $155 billion. Bitcoin investment products saw $1.116 billion in net inflows, bringing year-to-date net inflows to $3.1 billion; Ethereum investment products attracted $328 million in net inflows—the strongest weekly performance since January. By region, the U.S. recorded $1.5 billion in net inflows, Germany $28 million, while Switzerland saw $138 million in net outflows. Meanwhile, short-Bitcoin products attracted $1.4 million in net inflows, while XRP and Solana products experienced $56 million and $2.3 million in net outflows, respectively.
According to a chart analysis released by independent analyst Markus Thielen on April 20, 2026, Bitcoin has remained in a correction phase since last October. During the same period, Tether’s market capitalization has lingered near $18.3 billion, reflecting a lack of new capital inflows and sustained downward pressure on prices overall. Recently, this situation has shifted: Tether’s circulating supply has increased by approximately $3 billion, lifting its market cap to $18.7 billion; the total stablecoin market cap has resumed an upward trend, signaling a recovery in market liquidity. Analysts note that, when viewed alongside other capital flow indicators, the signals are turning positive—though still in their early stages. Marginal improvements in such capital flows typically precede price movements. If this trend continues over the coming weeks, it could provide some support for Bitcoin’s price.

Odaily News Trader 0xSun posted stating that news-driven trading remains one of the more cost-effective strategies in the current crypto market, with its core lying in the directionality and volatility brought by events.Reviewing several recent events, including abnormal ETH transactions, Arc fee adjustments, TAO ecosystem changes, RAVE-related investigations, and the KelpDAO security incident, all triggered significant price fluctuations within a short period. He believes that participating in such opportunities relies on either the speed of information acquisition or the ability to judge the impact of events.Furthermore, he indicated that as the recent altcoin market has gradually cooled down, he has resumed the strategy of going long on BTC while hedging by shorting some altcoin assets. He believes that against the backdrop of relatively weak liquidity and the fading of certain narratives, the overall performance of altcoins may face relatively more pressure.

According to on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr. (@AxelAdlerJr), Bitcoin triggered a classic short squeeze within 24 hours, surging rapidly from $74,000 to $78,000 and liquidating approximately $526 million worth of short positions during this period—of which a single liquidation event at 13:00 UTC amounted to $357 million. Adler Jr. noted that this rally was primarily driven by forced short liquidations rather than new spot demand, casting doubt on the sustainability of the near-term accelerated price rise. Currently, around $8 billion in long positions have accumulated above $77,000 across major exchanges; whether sufficient spot demand exists to absorb these positions remains a critical variable.
