Murphy stated that the market will always move towards areas of less resistance, and when the lower resistance is greater, prices naturally tend to continue upward until they encounter stronger resistance.

According to a report by the analysis firm Kaiko on Monday, the open interest, funding rates, and on-chain trading patterns in the perpetual contract market indicate that some traders may have positioned themselves ahead of the announcement of the Robinhood cryptocurrency listing. The report highlights the most obvious case of wallet address 0xa1E, which opened a long position in Lighter (LIT) on Hyperliquid at 11:05 AM on January 15, about an hour before Robinhood announced the listing of the token, and this wallet subsequently closed the position after the announcement.The same address also opened a short position in HOOD a few hours before Robinhood reported lower-than-expected first-quarter revenue on April 28. Several tokens, including ZEC, SNX, and NEAR, experienced abnormal spikes in open interest and funding rates, as well as price drift, before their listing announcements. Researcher Fraussen told Cointelegraph that traders who understand microstructure may have noticed public signals such as rising funding rates and increased trading volume and positioned themselves accordingly, but this type of positioning is statistically consistent and has repeatedly occurred across multiple events, reflecting privileged access to Robinhood's listing pipeline or a highly reliable front-running method based on public signals.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin surged to a high of $81,300, resulting in weekly and 30-day cumulative increases of 5% and 21%, respectively. CryptoQuant data shows that, based on 30-day rolling data, long-term holders have net added 331,000 BTC, valued at approximately $2.67 billion at Tuesday's current market price. This accounts for nearly 1.6% of the total supply, indicating that accumulation has strengthened as prices rebound.Accompanying the rise in Bitcoin is a strong inflow of funds into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, with a total net inflow of $1.18 billion over the past three days. On Monday, the net inflow was $532 million, indicating increased institutional interest in BTC. MN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe stated on X on Tuesday, "ETF inflows have returned to the market, and the market is turning upward towards Bitcoin." He added, "I expect more funds to flow in over the next few weeks, as there is currently high demand for ETFs."As previously reported, institutions are absorbing more than five times the daily newly mined BTC supply. The $84,000 region is a focal point for many traders, as this position coincides with the CME gap formed in early February. From a technical perspective, after the price broke above the upper boundary of $77,500, it has validated a bullish flag pattern on the daily chart. A daily closing price above the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $82,000 will confirm the continuation of the upward trend, with a target of the bullish flag's measured target of $94,800, at which point the overall increase will reach 18%.A chart shared by crypto investor Cryptocupra shows that after the weekly MACD produced a golden cross, the macro bottom for Bitcoin may have formed, paving the way for further upward movement.

According to CoinDesk, 21Shares Chief Investment Officer Adrian Fritz stated that the spot Bitcoin ETF continues to attract inflows, reinforcing Bitcoin's core position in institutional asset allocation, even as prices remain fluctuating below $80,000. Adrian Fritz pointed out that since the beginning of this year, Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated nearly $2 billion in funds, with sources including retail investors, institutions, and hedge fund arbitrage and options strategy trading.As traditional asset management institutions like Morgan Stanley accelerate their layouts, crypto assets are being more widely incorporated into multi-asset portfolio allocations. Bitcoin's current daily trading volume has exceeded $50 billion, and liquidity levels are approaching those of large tech stocks like Nvidia. The ETF mechanism simultaneously provides liquidity in both primary and secondary markets, gradually giving it "institutional-grade asset" attributes.Although the market is still suppressed by macro and interest rate environments, Adrian Fritz believes that ETF inflows have shifted from being driven by speculation to structural demand. He expects that with improvements in geopolitical conditions, continued inflows, and short covering, Bitcoin is likely to challenge the $100,000 mark within the year. Meanwhile, the differentiation among altcoins is intensifying, and the market is shifting towards a logic of asset selection that emphasizes fundamentals and cash flow.

Meanwhile, advancements in on-chain and industrial aspects continue, including the ongoing evolution of digital currency infrastructure and asset tokenization.In terms of investment and financing, a total of 12 transactions were completed last week, with a disclosed total financing amount of approximately $54.89 million, a month-on-month increase of about 31%, with funds mainly flowing into the DeFi and infrastructure sectors.
