Bitcoin Eyes $95K Breakout as Institutional Flows Strengthen; Ethereum Struggles to Keep Pace
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently positioned between $90,000 and $98,000, supported by strong institutional inflows and an improving macro backdrop.
Recent ETF data highlights a $936 million surge into Bitcoin products on April 22, suggesting renewed confidence from large investors despite prior outflows.
Ethereum (ETH), meanwhile, trades between $1,700 and $2,000, buoyed by a modest $104 million in ETF inflows on April 25, although its weaker technicals cap immediate upside potential.
The macro-environment remains a key driver. While tariff risks linger, easing tensions could sustain bullish momentum into early May, especially for Bitcoin, which continues to benefit from its growing appeal as a hedge against global uncertainty.
On-chain sentiment reflects a cautious optimism: Bitcoin whales are accumulating, and technical indicators point to resistance near $95,000.
Ethereum, however, faces a more challenging path, with its ETH/BTC ratio still under pressure and no clear catalyst yet to spark a major breakout.
