BTC trades stably near $105.5K; institutional ETF inflows reached $2.2B last week

The post BTC trades stably near $105.5K; institutional ETF inflows reached $2.2B last week appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading steadily above the $105,500 mark as the Asian trading day gets underway on Wednesday. This comes after a slight correction from the $107,000 level it held during US business hours.

Unlike the breakout above $100,000 in December 2024, which triggered a significant wave of profit-taking, long-term investors now appear content to sit on their unrealized gains. This observation is supported by analysis from Glassnode in their weekly note. “HODLing appears to be the dominant market mechanic,” the Glassnode analysts wrote. They pointed to a surge in the supply held by long-term holders, which has now reached 14.7 million BTC, coupled with historically low levels of realized profits. This on-chain activity strongly indicates a limited desire to sell, even as Bitcoin trades just below its record highs. Further reinforcing this narrative of restraint, metrics such as the adjusted Spent Output Profit Ratio (aSOPR) are hovering just above the breakeven point, according to Glassnode. This suggests that the coins currently being spent are, for the most part, recent acquisitions involved in tactical trades rather than representing a broad distribution or sell-off by long-term holders.
