Deep Dive
Digital asset investment products experienced a significant turnaround, attracting $1 billion in inflows after five consecutive weeks of withdrawals. This surge indicates a renewed investor confidence and a response to recent market weakness.
Bitcoin led the recovery, absorbing $881 million, the majority of the week's inflows. Investors capitalized on lower prices following recent technical breakdowns, and large Bitcoin holders resumed accumulation, bolstering institutional confidence. However, short Bitcoin products saw $3.7 million in inflows, suggesting divided market sentiment. Both Bitcoin and Ethereum remain in net outflow territory for the year, requiring sustained buying to reverse the trend.
The United States accounted for the largest share of inflows with $957 million, complemented by solid gains from Canada, Germany, and Switzerland, indicating broad global risk appetite.
Ethereum attracted $117 million, its highest weekly inflow since mid-January, representing a notable shift in institutional allocation, though it remains in negative territory year-to-date.
Altcoins demonstrated selective strength, with Solana attracting $53.8 million last week and $156 million year-to-date. Chainlink added $3.4 million, with no significant outflows elsewhere, suggesting a growing investor willingness to diversify beyond Bitcoin.
Solana is trading at $87.33, showing a 5.92% daily gain and an 11.70% weekly increase, with trading volume exceeding $6 billion. The token recently rallied from a low near $76.80 to a high around $88.20.
Analysis indicates Solana is consolidating within a defined range. Resistance is observed between $88.20 and $89.00, with stronger pressure near $91.50. Support is located at $82.00, with further backing near $76.80. While repeated rejections near $88 suggest seller defense, momentum remains constructive as long as the price stays above $82.00. Traders are watching for potential short positions on rejection near $88.20 or long entries on a bounce from $82.00.
