Market Overview

From an analytical viewpoint, BTC has established a double bottom pattern seen in the 4-hour chart, with two core supports at $62,000 and $59,600. If BTC avoids setting new lows and continues to break through and remain above $67,000, it is indicative of ongoing bullish momentum. In terms of recent events, the completion of BTC halving, the absence of full-scale conflict between Israel and Iran, and the return of ETFs to net inflows all positively contribute to the market sentiment. Regarding trading strategy, the adoption of right-side trading and strict stop loss policies could enhance the chances of generating extra returns.

BTC Spot ETF

As of April 19th, updated data shows a net inflow of $12.32 billion into BTC spot ETFs, with a single-day net outflow of $59.56 million and a single-day turnover of $2.37 billion. The net assets of ETFs account for 4.27% of BTC's market value. Primary observations include:

GBTC: The single-day net outflow was $45.82 million, with a cumulative net outflow of $16.73 billion. The single-day turnover was $1.28 billion, and the current net asset value is $19.57 billion;

IBIT: The single-day net inflow was $29.28 million, with a cumulative net inflow of $15.42 billion. The single-day turnover was $451 million, and the current net asset value is $17.58 billion;

FBTC: The single-day net inflow was $54.77 million, with a cumulative net inflow of $8.14 billion. The single-day turnover was $336 million, and the current net asset value is $9.85 billion;

ARKB: The single-day net inflow was $12.53 million, with a cumulative net inflow of $2.21 billion. The single-day turnover was $116 million, and the current net asset value is $2.77 billion.

With the completion of BTC's halving and ETF funds returning to net inflow, which typically indicates certain level of continuity, the subsequent data changes could be monitored closely.
