Bitcoin Steadies Above $70,000 as Whale Activity Hits Six-Year High and ETFs Attract Inflows

Muted retail participation with negative funding keeps the recovery case uncertain.

Overview

  • CryptoQuant reports the Exchange Whale Ratio at a six-year high, a level that has often clustered near local bottoms in past cycles.
  • Santiment says wallets holding 10–10,000 BTC resumed net accumulation around $71,000, lifting their share of circulating supply.
  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a five-day streak of net inflows totaling about $767 million, helping restore market liquidity.
  • Bitcoin traded near $73,000 with resistance around $74,000–$75,000 and support near $68,000–$70,000 after recovering from early-March dips.
  • Retail participation sits near cycle lows as long-term holder MVRV hovers around −25% and funding rates stay negative, leading some analysts to warn the broader correction may not be over.
