After a weak start in 2025, U.S. spot Bitcoin $99,225 ETF flows made a robust comeback on Friday, reaching $900 million. Fidelity’s FBTC ETF stood out during this surge, accumulating 3,640 BTC. Additionally, as the Bitcoin price nears $100,000, on-chain indicators signal the formation of lower levels.
Strong Shift in ETF Flows
Following significant outflows earlier in the week, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a strong return with nearly $900 million in inflows on Friday. According to data, Fidelity’s FBTC led the competition, attracting $357 million. After three consecutive days of outflows, BlackRock’s IBIT welcomed $252 million, while Ark Invest’s ARKB garnered $222 million.
Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, celebrated the strong turnaround, stating, “There were inflows of over $900 million today.” He noted that spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen approximately $700 million in net inflows since the beginning of the year.
Robust On-Chain Indications for BTC
On-chain data showcases strength for Bitcoin, suggesting that bulls are ready to look beyond the current correction. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reported significant withdrawals from exchanges throughout the past week, with over 48,000 BTC worth $4.5 billion being withdrawn during this period.
“These massive outflows indicate a potential shift in market sentiment,” he remarked. The Coinbase Premium Index, a key indicator of institutional interest in Bitcoin, recently dropped to -0.23%, marking a two-year low. However, reports suggest the index is quickly recovering, signaling renewed demand for Bitcoin among U.S.-based institutional investors, supported by the inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The Bitcoin community eagerly anticipates Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. Investors believe BTC may experience some volatility before continuing its journey above $100,000. Some analysts predict Bitcoin prices could reach between $175,000 and $350,000 this year.
According to press data, the BTC price is trading at approximately $98,000, with a 1.25% increase, while trading volume has decreased by 13%. The data indicates that 24-hour liquidations have risen to $53 million, with over $33 million in short liquidations. The increase in Bitcoin ETF flows and positive on-chain indicators signify recovery signals for the market, boosting investors’ hopes for the future.
