CryptoQuant On-Chain Data: Speculative Demand Warnings
CryptoQuant data reveals that demand is not organic and price increases are speculative in nature; on-chain demand metric remained in negative territory throughout April. Experts emphasize that ETF inflows reflect different dimensions from on-chain demand, noting that some institutions are engaging in cash-and-carry arbitrage. Rising institutional interest and regulatory clarity are strengthening the foundations of the bull market.

As the market advances with this divergence, breaking R1 resistance (79,433 dollars) could open the way to R2 (84,542 dollars). S1 support (71,865 dollars) is critical; it could be tested in geopolitical escalation. Investors should be cautious in BTC spot market.
