Institutional Investors Re-Accumulates Bitcoin, the Second Week of Inflows

Institutional investors are re-accumulating Bitcoin using dedicated funds. This is done despite extreme fear in the market as Bitcoin reaches the bottom of the chart. According to reports, there are heavy outflows at the start of 2022. Also, cryptos investment funds have seen a gradual uptick over the past two weeks. This has offered some optimism that the worst of the market downturn had passed. From the records, Digital asset investment products saw $19 million worth of cumulative inflows last week. According to CoinShares, Bitcoin (BTC) and multi-asset funds led the gains with $22 million and $32 million worth of inflows, respectively.

Nonetheless, the BTC price is consolidating below the resistance zones as Bitcoin struggles below $39k High. The cryptocurrency is rising while in a narrow range. It has broken above the $38,000 support but struggles below the $39,000 high. On the upside, if BTC’s price rebounds above the $38,000 support, the crypto will have sufficient grounds to reclaim.
