Bitcoin's weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) has entered the oversold territory for the fourth time in its history, according to analyst Merlijn The Trader. He noted that previous weekly RSI oversold signals were followed by significant rallies of approximately 2,700% in 2019, 1,800% in 2020, and 350% in 2022. With the weekly RSI now in an oversold state again, the analyst suggested that the market's future direction hinges on whether Bitcoin can maintain support at the $65,000 level. If this price holds, it could signal the completion of an Elliott Wave 4 correction, potentially setting the stage for a Wave 5 rally targeting $140,000.

An analysis suggests that Bitcoin may have already formed a bottom around the $60,000 level, citing trends in key options market indicators. According to CoinDesk, the primary evidence is the behavior of two implied volatility indices: Deribit's 30-day Bitcoin Implied Volatility Index (DVOL) and Volmex's BTC 30-day Implied Volatility Index (BVIV). These metrics reflect expected price volatility over the next 30 days. Both indices surged to around the 90% level in early February when Bitcoin's price dropped to approximately $60,000. Historically, similar spikes in volatility have often coincided with peaks in market fear and the formation of price bottoms. For instance, implied volatility also rose to about 90% when Bitcoin bottomed out at $50,000 in August 2024 and at $20,000 in November 2022.

A single day of strong net inflows could be enough to erase all of this year's cumulative outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs, according to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas. He noted that these ETFs have attracted about $2.5 billion in net inflows this month. BlackRock's IBIT, he added, has already achieved its goal of being net positive for the year and ranks in the top 2% of all ETFs for fund inflows. Balchunas also highlighted Bitcoin's resilience over the past six months amid a price crash and intense media criticism. He contrasted this with the reaction to a 40% drop in gold prices about a decade ago, when a third of investors sold off. While calling that a natural response to a sharp asset decline, he described Bitcoin's behavior as abnormal.

A second wave of institutional investment in cryptocurrency has begun, according to Brett Tejpaul, head of institutional at Coinbase. In an interview with CoinDesk, he said institutional investors are no longer investing in crypto simply to bet on price appreciation but are looking for stable, additional sources of revenue. This shift is leading to the creation of new products, Tejpaul noted, citing Coinbase's collaboration with Apex Group last week to launch a share token for a Bitcoin operating fund. He emphasized that institutions are now exploring the benefits crypto can bring to their portfolios and businesses, rather than just asking how to buy it. This change is likely to attract more institutional capital in the future, he added.
