Bitcoin price has shown mild bearish pressure in recent sessions as global markets remain uncertain and traders adopt a cautious stance. BTC has struggled to build strong upside momentum, yet downside remains contained. 

Notably, strong demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs suggests investor positioning may be shifting toward a more constructive outlook.

Bitcoin Notes A Buy Signal

Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded inflows of $1.42 billion over the past week, marking the highest weekly total in three months. This surge reflects renewed institutional interest during a period of muted price action. The last comparable inflow spike occurred in October 2025, when ETFs attracted $2.71 billion.

Such inflows often signal growing investor confidence. Capital entering ETFs typically reflects longer-term positioning rather than short-term speculation. The current trend suggests market participants expect Bitcoin price appreciation, reinforcing bullish sentiment despite near-term volatility and mixed macroeconomic signals.

Macro indicators also support a constructive outlook. The Pi Cycle Top Indicator, a historical measure of overheated Bitcoin markets, is currently diverging. This tool compares the 111-day simple moving average with the 2×365-day moving average to identify cycle peaks.

At present, these averages are moving farther apart rather than converging. This separation indicates the market is not overheated. Historically, such conditions align with low-risk or early-to-mid bull market phases. The signal contrasts sharply with typical sell conditions, reinforcing the presence of an active buy signal.

BTC Price May Not Face Correction

Bitcoin price trades near $95,173 at the time of writing, maintaining support above the critical $95,000 level. This zone has held firm despite repeated tests, suggesting buyers remain active. Sustained ETF inflows could provide the demand needed to lift the price from this consolidation range.

If bullish conviction persists, BTC could rebound toward $98,000. Such a move would also allow Bitcoin to reclaim the 200-day exponential moving average near $95,986. Clearing that level would restore bullish momentum and strengthen the case for a push toward the $100,000 psychological threshold.

However, risks remain. If investor sentiment shifts or spot ETFs begin recording outflows, the bullish setup would weaken. Under that scenario, Bitcoin could lose $95,000 support. A breakdown would expose BTC to a decline toward $93,471, signaling renewed downside pressure.

Live Nation CEO says demand is unmistakable, concert tickets are underpriced

The post Live Nation CEO says demand is unmistakable, concert tickets are underpriced appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino and Smith Entertainment Group CEO Ryan Smith said this week live events are more central than ever to culture and commerce in a post-pandemic world. The executives spoke at CNBC Sport and Boardroom’s Game Plan conference on Tuesday, saying the demand for in-person events has been unmistakable. “No matter what you bring to that table that day, you unite around that one shared experience,” Rapino said. “For those two hours, I tend to drop whatever baggage I have and have a shared moment.” According to Goldman Sachs, the live music industry is expected to grow at a 7.2% compounded annual rate through 2030, fueled by millennials and Gen Z. Smith bought the Utah Jazz in 2020 and launched a new NHL franchise in the state in 2024. “In sports, we’re really media companies,” Smith said. “We’ve got talent, we’ve got distribution. We’re putting on a show or a wedding or something every night.” Get the CNBC Sport newsletter directly to your inbox The CNBC Sport newsletter with Alex Sherman brings you the biggest news and exclusive interviews from the worlds of sports business and media, delivered weekly to your inbox.

With streaming revenue dwarfed by touring income, live shows have become one of artists’ primary sources of revenue. “The artist is going to make 98% of their money from the show,” he said. “We just did Beyonce’s tour. She’s got 62 transport trucks outside. That’s a Super Bowl she’s putting on every night.” Despite headlines about rising ticket prices, Rapino argued that concerts are still underpriced compared to sporting events. “In sports, I joke it’s like a badge of honor to spend 70 grand for Knicks courtside,” Rapino said.…
