This significant uptick in demand propelled Bitcoin price to rally by 5% by maintaining BTC’s position above both the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages (EMAs).
Technical indicators suggest that the current bullish phase may persist, offering further upside potential for the leading cryptocurrency. A breakout above Wednesday’s high of $68,380 could potentially set the stage for Bitcoin to approach the $69,000 mark. Should this resistance level be overcome, the next target could be for BTC to reach the $70,000 threshold.
ETFs and Whales Propel Bitcoin’s Growth
The critical factors that could impact the BTC price include the Federal Reserve’s interest rate path, the upcoming US Presidential Election, and the flow trends within the US BTC-spot ETF market. On the flip side, a dip below the $65,000 and $64,000 support levels might indicate a downturn toward the 50-day EMA, potentially reversing the current bullish trend.
Adding to the positive outlook, Bitcoin’s 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 67.01, suggesting that BTC could climb to the $69,000 resistance level before entering overbought territory. This RSI reading is the highest since late April and has been instrumental in pushing Bitcoin to a ten-week high of over $67,800, according to a recent report by CryptoQuant led by Julio Moreno.
US spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have consistently bought Bitcoin, with an average of 9,000 BTC added daily in early 2024. This steady demand has helped push Bitcoin’s price to new peaks. Data from SoSoValue shows that US BTC ETFs saw an impressive $458.5 million inflow on Wednesday, with BlackRock’s IBIT accounting for $393.4 million of that amount.

Additionally, large investors, known as whales, continue to amass Bitcoin, further boosting confidence in the cryptocurrency’s future. These major holders, excluding exchanges and miners, now control 670,000 BTC, surpassing the 365-day average. This steady accumulation signals optimism for Bitcoin’s price stability and long-term growth.
