Bullish sentiment is heating up. Currently, BTC is still hovering below the $100,000 mark, but in reality, it's just a 2.42% increase.

The resistance levels that seemed tough two months ago—$93,500 to $95,000—have already been easily surpassed. Now, a higher fortress stands before us: the $98,000 to $100,000 region. Whether we can quickly break through the $98,000 line to the upside will, to some extent, determine Bitcoin's next move.

The signals from the capital flow are quite interesting. The US spot Bitcoin ETF has seen a daily net inflow of about $750 million, and this momentum should not be underestimated. Meanwhile, the selling wave from the big whales has noticeably subsided—this pressure is much lighter than it was in November and December last year.

Ultimately, whether the $100,000 level can hold depends mainly on the ETF's capital attitude. Will it resemble the last surge, where breaking through triggered a large net inflow? Or will short-term profit-taking suppress the rally? Or is the capital inflow starting to weaken? Will the old whales step in again to dump? These are all variables. But one thing is certain: the current bullish sentiment will continue to burn for a while longer.

98000 is really a critical level. The whales didn't sell much this time. What does that indicate?

750 million net inflow definitely indicates something, whales have also calmed down, this time feels different.

Alright, this wave of ETF inflows is indeed quite strong, and the whales have also calmed down. The 100,000 level doesn't seem as scary anymore. --- I'm just worried that after breaking through, they will start dumping again. I'm really afraid of short-term traders cashing out. --- Honestly, a 2.42% increase isn't much, the key is whether we can stabilize above 98,000. --- Whales haven't sold off? Then this wave is different, it really feels like we're going higher. --- ETF net inflow of $750 million in a single day, this pace feels off. Could it be the prelude to another wipeout of the retail investors? --- Is breaking 100,000 the end? I want to see what happens next; capital weakening is the biggest variable. --- No one can predict how long this emotional surge will last, it all depends on whether institutions will dump again later.

With such strong ETF inflows, even whales are not selling off. Does it feel like this time is really different? --- If it can't break 98,000, it will be awkward, and there will be a correction again... --- 1.5 billion net inflow in a single day? Retail investors are probably buying the dip again haha --- When bullish sentiment rises together, it's easy to get impulsive. Still, it depends on how whales play it. --- Breaking 100,000 is just a matter of time. Right now, we're still debating the pace. --- It feels like this wave is just missing a positive catalyst to break through the psychological price level. --- Whales not selling off is a good sign, but we shouldn't celebrate too early.

It's truly a good sign that whales are no longer dumping, but I'm worried that the hype around the ETF might be fake.
