Bitcoin (BTC) has extended its decline, falling below the $68,500 level as the regional conflict enters its fifth week without a clear resolution in sight. Despite earlier relief from a pause in military strikes, the prolonged uncertainty continues to weigh on investor sentiment across risk assets. However, underlying data reveals significant resilience, with Bitcoin ETFs recording substantial inflows of $2.5 billion over the past month. Furthermore, significant net outflows from exchanges suggest that institutional investors are actively accumulating the cryptocurrency beneath the surface. This divergence between spot price weakness and robust institutional demand highlights a complex market dynamic. While geopolitical risks remain a primary driver of volatility, the steady accumulation by large-scale players provides a potential floor for the digital asset amid macroeconomic pressures.
