Bitcoin Holds Strong Ahead of FOMC as ETFs Record $149M Inflows and Long-Term Holders Accumulate

After its recent breakout, Bitcoin has been able to remain resilient with a price of around $114,500, awaiting the next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision.

According to analyst Michael van de Poppe, the current Bitcoin price is having a healthy consolidation following the massive push. He also said that the market could possibly be bottoming out today, thus paving the way to a rise through the rest of the week.

The major cryptocurrency is now poised to have some support at a range of around $111,900, and strong levels of resistance are forming at around 117,000 and the breakout zone of $119,000, which is an important zone to be broken before it retests its all-time highs.

Strong ETF Inflows Increase the Institutional Confidence

Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) face momentum from systematic institutional flows, although this move caused a slight decline in price during the beginning of the week.

The most recent statistics indicate that the net Bitcoin ETF flows were at their highest point at 149 million on October 27, the third day of inflows.

Close behind are Ethereum ETFs, with inflows of 134 million and no outflows recorded by all nine funds. This trend is an indication of long-term institutional interest in digital assets despite short-term fluctuations.

The current inflows indicate that investors have seen the recent price pullback of Bitcoin as a corrective action and not a reversal.

With institutions and ETFs in play, Bitcoin is expanding even further, and this increases its financial credibility as an asset class. This constant surge of inflows strengthens the foundation for long-term expansion and stability in the market, which shows positivity for the upcoming months.

On-Chain Data Shows Renewed Accumulation

The Binance data shows that long-term investors are accumulating more and more Bitcoin instead of selling it during the current strength.

On-chain analytics also indicate the decreasing pressure to sell and a rise in the market state, which indicates the increased trust in the price direction of Bitcoin.

Technical indicators also support this trend. EMA50 per day is at the present level of $113,400, which is one of the most reliable dynamic levels of support, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in the range of 54. It can be said that it has room to go up.

On the whole, institutional inflows, technical stability, and on-chain accumulation represent a positive future for the Bitcoin in the short run.

Following the recent trend of traders and investors alike awaiting the next step that FOMC will take as far as its policy is concerned, there seems to be a hope that Bitcoin will pick up its bullish trend and hit some of the crucial resistance lines.
