Bitcoin pulls back after reaching $95,000, with nearly $700 million in ETF inflows in a single day, signaling institutional bullishness

【Crypto World】Bitcoin briefly surged to $95,000 in pre-market trading on the US stock market, but then lost momentum and fell back to around $92,000. The 24-hour decline reached 1.3%, and the previous small rebound was instantly crushed. XRP and Solana also declined, both dropping over 2%. In contrast, the US stock market edged higher, creating an interesting divergence phenomenon.

But there is a different signal here — Bitcoin ETF saw a net inflow of $697 million on Monday, the largest single-day inflow in nearly three months. Institutional investors do not seem to have given up; instead, they chose to increase their positions at this time.

Analysts believe that Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed as a geopolitical safe-haven asset. Looking at the 6% decline in 2025, the rebound early in 2026 seems to be hinting at something — a stronger upward trend may be coming this year. The continuous buying by institutions somewhat confirms this expectation.

BTC-2,08%

XRP-6,96%

SOL-2,71%

the institutional transmutation continues while retail bleeds... 697M ETF inflow screams algorithmic equilibrium seeking, ngl this price action feels like the philosopher's stone testing our resolve before the real ascension

Institutions are疯狂扫货 at low levels, while retail investors are still debating whether it will fall or not. The gap is truly incredible.

Institutions are really ruthless. While retail investors are cutting losses, they are lying in wait. How many people can this wave of ETF inflows really fool?

Institutions are dumping, and retail investors are bottom-fishing—that's the market, haha. --- ETF inflows are close to 700 million but still falling? This rhythm is a bit strange. --- 95000 didn't hold steady and has pulled back; it's a bit frustrating. --- Large funds are increasing their positions; let's follow along and share some of the soup. --- Fragmentation phenomenon? Basically, the main players are still shaking out the market. --- Taking off this year? First, see if 92000 can hold. --- As long as institutions don't withdraw, there's still hope. The problem is, I don't have that much capital.
