Bitcoin’s retreat from above $87,400 has placed the $82,000 support area at the center of market attention. Technical traders say holding the roughly $81,500 to $83,000 zone could keep bullish momentum intact, while a failure may open the door to the high $70,000s.

Large Bitcoin holders have accumulated over 20,000 BTC since July 29, while U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $754.69 million this week. The buying has not yet delivered a decisive breakout, with technical traders watching for a close above $65,000.

U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs have posted two straight weeks of inflows, drawing $273 million after an eight-week outflow streak of more than $8 billion. The turnaround has improved sentiment, but the scale remains modest compared with the recent exodus from the funds.

U.S.-listed bitcoin ETFs recorded $221.7 million in net inflows on Thursday, ending a bruising 10-day run of withdrawals. Fidelity’s FBTC led the rebound even as BlackRock’s IBIT posted an outflow.

XRP is showing early signs of accumulation above the $1.00 support zone, even as it remains capped by nearby resistance. Rising wallet creation and fresh ETF inflows are helping support the recovery narrative, but traders still want a clean break above $1.10.

JPMorgan says client checks show little institutional appetite for crypto perpetual futures beyond speculation. The bank pointed to basis risk, clearing concerns, and the lack of a term structure as major hurdles.

XRP is once again pressing against the $1.05 to $1.10 support zone after a weak session and another month of range-bound trading. While momentum indicators remain soft, ETF inflows suggest institutions are still adding exposure as traders look for the next decisive move.

Bitcoin slipped below $63,000 on Friday as a broad risk-asset sell-off erased gains from the latest peace deal optimism. Traders are now watching the $59,000 to $60,000 zone for signs of a deeper correction.

Bitcoin briefly moved above $67,000 but failed to keep pace with the broader relief rally in stocks and oil. Traders are waiting for the Iran deal to be signed and for the Federal Reserve’s next move before committing to risk.

Standard Chartered analyst Geoffrey Kendrick says bitcoin likely formed a cycle low around $59,000 as investor flows improve and macro pressure eases. He says a break above $83,000 would be a strong confirmation that a new uptrend is underway.

XRP moved back above the $1.14 to $1.15 resistance band on its strongest trading volume since the recent sell-off, signaling a possible base-building phase. Traders are now eyeing $1.20 and higher levels as ETF inflows and whale accumulation continue to support sentiment.
