Bitcoin Consolidates in a Narrow Range as Whales Accumulate 45,000 BTC and Spot ETFs Register Outflows Amid Liquidity Rebound

Bitcoin is trading within a tight range amid ongoing market consolidation, while on-chain signals point to substantial accumulation by large holders. In this context, a steady bid underpins price action even as near-term momentum remains subdued.

Bitcoin spot ETFs logged outflows of about $278 million, Ethereum spot ETFs saw around $184 million leave, whereas Solana spot ETFs posted a net inflow of $18.06 million.

BRN Research Director Timothy Misir noted whales added more than 45,000 bitcoins this week, amounting to roughly $4.6 billion at current prices. The moves suggest institutional positioning and a shift to custody rather than retail-driven speculation.

Following the U.S. government’s reopening, liquidity flows improve macro sentiment, supporting cautious risk appetite. The development is viewed as a backdrop for improving liquidity and a modest risk-on tilt in crypto markets.
