After nearly a week of outflows, institutional investors appear to be stepping back into crypto markets.
- Spot ETFs tied to Bitcoin and Ethereum attracted $240 million after six sessions of outflows.
- BlackRock and Fidelity accounted for the majority of inflows, signaling a rebound in institutional demand.
- Bitcoin trades near $100,700, while Ethereum holds around $3,280, both hovering at critical support zones.
Fresh data from Farside Investors show that spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded $240 million in combined inflows on November 6, marking the first positive day since late October.
Most of the renewed capital flowed into BlackRock and Fidelity’s products. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF led with $112 million in net inflows, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC with $61.6 million. Analysts say this comeback signals that long-term holders are using recent price weakness to rebuild positions ahead of potential macro catalysts, including a widely expected U.S. interest rate cut.
Bitcoin: Stabilizing After Testing the $100K Range
Bitcoin’s market reaction to the inflow data has been cautiously optimistic. The asset briefly dipped below the $100,000 threshold earlier in the week but recovered to around $100,700 at press time. Technical indicators on the 4-hour chart show momentum beginning to stabilize after several sessions of downward pressure.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 36, suggesting BTC remains in a mildly oversold zone but is gradually recovering from extreme lows. Meanwhile, the MACD histogram has started flattening, with its signal line attempting to turn upward — a potential early sign that bearish momentum is losing steam.
With total assets under management across all Bitcoin ETFs now reaching $135.4 billion, equivalent to 6.7% of Bitcoin’s total market capitalization, market watchers believe the latest inflows could reinforce price stability if sustained over the coming week.
Ethereum: Holding Support Despite Bearish Pressure
Ethereum mirrored Bitcoin’s ETF recovery with $12.5 million in net inflows on November 6, ending its own six-day outflow streak. BlackRock’s ETHA ETF attracted $8 million, while Fidelity’s FETH added nearly $5 million. Grayscale’s ETHE, however, continued to see moderate outflows of $3.5 million.
On the charts, ETH trades near $3,280, down roughly 2.3% in the past 24 hours. The RSI reading of 36.4 reflects lingering weakness but also shows a flattening curve, indicating potential accumulation near this level. MACD readings display narrowing downside momentum — often a prelude to sideways consolidation or a minor relief rally.
Ethereum ETFs currently manage $21.75 billion in assets, about 5.45% of ETH’s total market cap, suggesting that institutions still view the token as a key long-term allocation despite short-term price fatigue.
Market Sentiment Turns Cautiously Optimistic
The reappearance of capital inflows across both BTC and ETH funds points to improving sentiment after a volatile start to November. Traders appear to be positioning for softer monetary policy in the U.S., while large ETF providers continue to dominate the flow narrative.
Bitcoin’s next resistance remains around $102,500, while Ethereum will need to reclaim the $3,400–$3,450 range to confirm renewed momentum. For now, both assets remain range-bound but supported by a recovering ETF landscape and growing institutional conviction.
