Bitcoin Taps $107,000 Again, Ethereum, Dogecoin Flat: Analyst Says 'Massive' ETF Inflows A Bullish Sign For Future BTC Price Movement

Leading cryptocurrencies moved sideways on Tuesday as investors waited for Bitcoin’s breakout to new highs.


Cryptocurrency Gains +/- Price (Recorded at 9:30 p.m. ET)
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) +0.61% $106,779.14
Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH)
               
+0.17% $2,534.18
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE)           +0.18% $0.2263

What Happened: Bitcoin tapped $107,000 late evening before pulling back slightly to the $106,000 region. The apex cryptocurrency was just 2.51% shy of its all-time high of $109,114.88.

Ethereum dipped to $2,440 in the early morning but recouped the losses overnight.

May has been a success for these blue-chip currencies. While Bitcoin increased by more than 14% this month, Ethereum rebounded with a 40% gain following months of decline.

Over $212 million in upside bets were liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, while $90 million in shorts were erased.

About $557 million in Bitcoin shorts could be liquidated if the apex cryptocurrency rallies to $109,000.

Bitcoin’s Open Interest increased by 1.87% in the last 24 hours and by more than 10% in the last week to $74.48 billion, suggesting that fresh money was being injected into derivatives.

The market maintained the "Greed" sentiment, according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: On-chain analytics firm Santiment drew attention to the surge in capital inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds lately.

"Over the past 5 weeks, there has been a net inflow of $6.63 billion across BTC ETFs. This is historically a bullish sign for future price movement," Santiment added.


Cryptocurrency analyst and investor Reed Carson anticipated a "big move" after analyzing Bitcoin's 4-hour chart.

"Since April bottom, BTC has formed ascending channel and each time a breakout has happened to the upside," Carson stated. "First breakout pumped BTC above $93,000, the second breakout pumped BTC to $105,000 and the upcoming one will send BTC above its previous ATH."
