According to data from SoSoValue, IBIT has recorded 31 consecutive trading days without net outflows since April 14. The only exception was May 13, when flows remained flat.

Despite that pause, the ETF has received $9.31 billion in net inflows during the ongoing streak, which has propelled the fund’s assets under management to roughly $72 billion.

ETF Store President Nate Geraci pointed out that IBIT now ranks among the top five ETFs by year-to-date inflows across a universe of more than 4,200 US-listed funds.

Market observers point to declining volatility and improving market sentiment as key drivers behind IBIT’s appeal.

Bloomberg ETF strategist Eric Balchunas noted that the fund’s 90-day rolling volatility has reached its lowest level since inception. This trend, paired with Bitcoin’s steady price gains, is drawing in larger asset allocators.

Balchunas highlighted that IBIT’s flow dominance in recent weeks significantly outpaces other crypto-related ETFs, suggesting it has become the go-to choice for institutional players seeking Bitcoin exposure without excessive risk.

Investment manager Mike Shell of ASYMMETRY added that IBIT is beginning to behave more like a mature, institutional-grade asset.

According to him, the asset is not acting like a speculative crypto token but more like a digital store of value, like gold, than volatile tech stocks.

Over $3 billion in short positions are concentrated between $107,000 and $108,000, which is now a liquidation cluster. If Bitcoin breaks $113,369, it could trigger a short squeeze and send price parabolic.

“$108K flipped resistance into support. This structural shift could accelerate price discovery into the $117K-$120K range,” a senior derivatives analyst said.

Key support has moved up to $108,000, which was previously resistance. This reassignment of support levels means more confidence in the market and is bullish in the short term.

Golden Cross Formation Signals Potential Breakout Above $110,000

The technical analysis indicators are even more bullish with a golden cross coming on the daily chart. The 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) is closing in on the 200-day EMA—an event that has historically led to big upside.

• Golden cross has preceded 45-60% gains in past BTC cycles
• A close above $110,000 would be a 17% May gain
• Current monthly performance is nearly double the 10-year average of 9.2%

If Bitcoin holds these levels into month-end, May could be the strongest month since 2019. That would be more evidence of demand and set up for fresh inflows into the second half of the year.

Bitcoin Key Levels: $113K Resistance, $117K-$120K Target

From a price structure standpoint, Bitcoin is still in a steep ascending channel that started in early April. The MACD histogram is still bullish but is flattening out—a sign that the move may need a consolidation phase before it extends.

Resistance is at $113,369. A daily close above that would be a breakout and open up $117,141 and $120,913. If rejected, we could see a retest of the $108,000 breakout zone, which would be a re-entry point for trend followers.

• Resistance zones: $113,369 → $117,141 → $120,913
• Support zones: $108,000 → $106,500
• Technical signal to watch: Spinning top or rejection candle near $113K

Short term momentum may pause at resistance but overall structure is still bullish as long as price is above $106,500 and the channel midline.

BTC Bull Token Nears $6.98M Cap as 71% Staking Yield Drives Demand

As BTC holding near $104K, investor focus is shifting toward yield-generating altcoins—none more so than BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL). The token has now raised $6.06 million out of its $6.98 million presale goal, with a price increase looming as it enters its final funding stretch.

What sets BTCBULL apart is its flexible staking model, offering an estimated 71% annual yield with no lockups or withdrawal penalties.

This approach gives investors the freedom to earn passive income while maintaining full liquidity—an attractive alternative to traditional DeFi staking protocols.

Key Stats:

• USDT Raised: $6,062,795/ $6,981,682
• Token Price: $0.00252
• Staking Pool: 1.47B BTCBULL
• Yield: 71% APY

BTCBULL merges the viral appeal of meme tokens with the real-world utility of DeFi, making it a standout pick for those looking to capitalize on the 2025 crypto cycle.

With under $1 million left before the next price tier, entry at current levels is limited—fueling urgency among retail investors seeking early access to passive yield.
