Bitcoin ETFs See $520M Inflow, Price May Hit $170K

US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a massive $520 million inflow on Tuesday, marking a dramatic reversal from recent withdrawal trends and potentially setting the stage for a significant price rally. This substantial capital injection comes after a week that saw $1.22 billion in outflows and a mere $1.15 million inflow the day prior, signaling renewed institutional interest that could propel Bitcoin toward the $160,000-$170,000 range according to technical models and on-chain indicators.

Bitcoin Cycle Theory Dead, Says CryptoQuant CEO

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has publicly retracted his earlier bearish stance on Bitcoin, declaring the long-held cycle theory ‘dead.’ Ju, once a proponent of cycle-based trading, now acknowledges that institutional investors have fundamentally altered market behavior, making past patterns irrelevant. On-chain data shows retail investors are largely absent from the current rally, replaced by deep-pocketed institutions, ETFs, and high-volume wallets. Despite some analysts like CryptoCon maintaining faith in the four-year halving cycle, Ju’s reversal highlights a structural shift in Bitcoin’s market dynamics. BTC’s recent price dip contrasts with its strong yearly performance, underscoring the evolving landscape.

Bitcoin Stabilizes After Volatile Start, Eyes $160K

Bitcoin has shown signs of stabilization after a volatile start to the year, dropping from $109,000 in January to $74,600 by mid-April before rebounding over 30% to $105,700. Analysts note a $10,000 incremental rise pattern followed by brief consolidation periods, which could signal a healthy buildup for future gains. Trading above $100,000 provides psychological support, with long-term models like the Golden Ratio Multiplier suggesting a potential surge to $160,000, drawing parallels to the 2015-2017 cycle. The current controlled movement contrasts with earlier wild swings, indicating a more mature market phase.

Bitcoin’s Golden Ratio Multiplier Points to $160K Peak

Despite short-term volatility, Bitcoin’s long-term outlook remains bullish as analysts rely on the Golden Ratio Multiplier—a logarithmic model using Fibonacci-derived multipliers—to predict market cycles. This tool accurately called previous tops in 2013, 2017, and 2021. CryptoCon highlights that Bitcoin has already hit a mid-top in March 2024, with Level 5 of the multiplier chart now pointing to $160,000 as the next major target. Drawing parallels to the 2015-2017 cycle, the current phase resembles April 2017, just before a significant rally. If historical patterns hold, Bitcoin could surge toward $160K later this year, marking the cycle’s final peak. Currently trading around $103,000, this may be the calm before another explosive breakout.
