BTC price: Another day, another all-time high

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView captured a new $73,794 record on Bitstamp.

Bitcoin had bounced back strongly overnight, erasing any trace of the weakness seen before the prior Wall Street open.

“Bitcoin dipped again earlier this week and once again successfully retested old All Time Highs as support,” popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital noted about recent events on X (formerly Twitter).

Excitement around familiar supply trends continued on the day, this centered on the buy-side impact of the United States’ spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

These saw net inflows of $683.7 billion on March 13, per data gathered by United Kingdom-based investment firm Farside.

This far outpaced the day’s outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), firmly swinging supply squeeze momentum in bulls’ favor.

Reacting, statistician Willy Woo, creator of Bitcoin data resource Woobull, described the institutional products as “just getting started,” echoing sentiment from Cathie Wood, CEO of one ETF provider, ARK Invest.

“The ETFs are just getting started, institutions and wealth management platforms will take a couple of months to complete due diligence before proper allocation begins,” part of an X post predicted.

Also of interest to hodlers was news that tech firm MicroStrategy, currently the public company with the largest Bitcoin treasury, planned to amass more than 1% of the total BTC supply.

MicroStrategy, which currently owns 205,000 BTC, intends to spend $500 million on more, taking its tally above the 210,000 BTC threshold.

Among the optimists was Charles Edwards, founder of quantitative Bitcoin and digital asset fund Capriole Investments, who forecast imminent fresh upside for BTC/USD.

“Bitcoin's getting ready for a big move,” he told X subscribers, adding in another post that "a billion a day keeps the dip away," referring to recent ETF inflows.

Last week, as Cointelegraph reported, Edwards pronounced the “deep value” era for Bitcoin dip-buying as having come and gone.

“That ship has sailed,” he said.

“You had 2 years to pick up undervalued Bitcoin. Instead an exciting new chapter has begun.”
