20.04.202614:06 Forex Analysis & Reviews: Investment firms in crypto space continue to attract money

Meanwhile, as Bitcoin and Ether have slightly recovered, especially after a morning sell-off triggered by negative news from the Middle East, CoinShares data show that global crypto investment products offered by asset managers such as BlackRock, Bitwise and 21Shares attracted $1.4 billion last week, continuing a three-week positive trend.

The sell-off caused by the escalation demonstrates that, despite diversification, cryptocurrencies still face systemic risks tied to global stability, yet the fresh capital inflow signals strong investor confidence in crypto's long-term potential despite short-term volatility. Institutional investors actively putting money into regulated products clearly show faith in the future of digital assets and treat them as a strategic part of portfolios.

This trend underscores growing trust in the crypto industry and its ability to weather market storms.

The total weekly flow reached the highest level since January and exceeded the prior week's $1.1 billion, which illustrates how quickly sentiment shifted after the recent downturn; the observed pattern reflects a stronger risk appetite linked to talks about extending the truce between the US and Iran.

Currently, assets under management at these firms stand at $154.8 billion, and inflows for the week amounted to 0.9% of total AUM, the largest weekly figure this year. Year-to-date inflows have reached $2.3 billion.

I should remind you that, as we discussed this morning, investors showed striking confidence last week by putting roughly $1 billion into spot ETFs.

Trading recommendations:

Regarding Bitcoin's technical picture, buyers now target a return to $75 000, which opens a direct road to $76 500, and from there $78 400 sits within reach; the most distant target stands at the high near $80 100, and a break of that level would signal attempts to restore the bull market. In case of a Bitcoin decline, I expect buyers at $73 100; a drop below that area could quickly push BTC toward $71 400, and the furthest downside target would be the $69 800 area.

Regarding Ethereum's technical picture, a clear consolidation above $2 308 opens a direct road to $2 382, and the most distant target stands at the high near $2 475, a breach of which would indicate strengthening bullish sentiment and a return of buyer interest. In case of an Ether decline, I expect buyers at $2 244; a return of the instrument below that area could quickly push ETH toward $2 162, and the furthest downside target would be the $2 114 area.

What we see on the chart:

- Red lines indicate support and resistance levels where either a price slowdown or active growth is expected;

- Green lines indicate the 50-day moving average;

- Blue lines indicate the 100-day moving average;

- Light green lines indicate the 200-day moving average.

A crossover, or a price test of moving averages, typically either halts the move or sparks fresh market momentum.
