Bitcoin drops anchor near $95,000 as institutional momentum builds

📊 Bitcoin holds near $95K – BTC remains steady after a 7% weekly gain, trading just below $95,000 in early market action.

🚀 Altcoins post mixed results – Berachain (BERA) and Axie Infinity (AXS) gained over 4%, while Hedera (HBAR) and Aave (AAVE) retreated.

🏦 ETF inflows signal institutional return – US Bitcoin ETFs logged their strongest weekly inflows in weeks, pointing to renewed institutional confidence.

BITCOIN is holding firm near the $95,000 mark following last week’s strong rally, maintaining a more than 7% gain over the seven-day period.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency continues to benefit from a rebound in investor confidence, even as the broader digital asset market sends mixed signals.

Berachain (BERA) and Axie Infinity (AXS) posted overnight gains of over 4%, while other cryptocurrencies such as Hedera (HBAR) and Aave (AAVE) trended lower. The uneven performance across altcoins reflects ongoing caution among retail traders, even as capital flows into crypto funds point to improving sentiment.

US-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds saw their strongest weekly inflows in weeks, reversing a period of sustained outflows that had weighed on markets earlier in the quarter.

Considering the current market environment, an analyst at Standard Chartered forecast that Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high in the second quarter, driven in part by shifting capital away from US assets.

Whether this momentum can lift digital assets out of the malaise that marked much of the year’s first quarter remains to be seen. But for now, could Bitcoin’s resilience and fresh institutional demand be a sign of the market turning a corner?
