As Bitcoin (BTC) attempts to reclaim a crucial level as support, spot 
exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based on the flagship cryptocurrency have 
registered their best performance since the October market crash. Related

All-Time Low Bitcoin ETFs ‘Back In The High Life’ US spot Bitcoin ETFs 
extended their positive streak to eight days after pulling in $223.2 million 
on Thursday, signaling strong demand for the investment products as the crypto 
market recovers. The BTC-based funds have been consistently seeing positive 
net flows since April 14, recording $2.09 billion in inflows during this 
period, according to SoSoValue data. This marks the category’s strongest 
performance across multiple timeframes since its late September-early October 
nine-day streak, when the products saw roughly $5.33 billion in inflows. In 
the weekly and monthly timeframes, Bitcoin ETFs are currently recording their 
best performance of 2026, tying March’s four-week streak but nearly doubling 
the monthly inflows, with $2.43 billion in April so far and four more days to 
go. Market observer Sjuul from AltCryptoGems asserted that sustained 
institutional demand is building again, highlighting that the products are 
about to close their second green month of 2026, and the first two-month 
streak since October 2025. Similarly, Bloomberg Senior ETF analyst Erich 
Balchunas affirmed that Bitcoin ETF flows are “back in the high life” as every 
single tracking period turns positive and cumulative net inflows hit $58.33 
billion. “Every single rolling period we track is now positive, haven&#8217;t seen 
that in months (IBIT&#8217;s $3b is in Top 1% of all ETFs). Still tho, need a couple 
bil more to get back to breaking new ground in cumulative lifetime flows 
(62.8b),” he wrote on X. All Eyes On BTC’s Weekly Close Bitcoin ETFs’ 
performance comes as the flagship cryptocurrency continues to reject from a 
key resistance area. In a recent analysis, Rekt Capital said that while BTC’s 
price enjoys upside momentum, the key levels haven’t changed yet. Notably, 
BTC’s 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA), located around $78,000, 
remains an important resistance level as the cryptocurrency has been unable to 
reclaim it on the weekly timeframe. “If BTC Weekly Closes above the 21-week 
EMA, then it would be worth watching for whether the EMA can be reclaimed as 
support,” the analyst affirmed, adding that level tends to serve as resistance 
in bear markets. On the contrary, if BTC is unable to reclaim this level as 
support, it could push BTC’s price into a post-breakout retest of its Double 
Bottom pattern. Last week, Rekt Capital highlighted that Bitcoin had broken 
out of a Double Bottom formation, which could lead to a measured move toward 
the $81,000-$82,500 area. Related Reading: Ethereum Faces ‘Moment Of Truth’ As 
Price Eyes $2,450 Resistance – Breakout Loading? Now, he has asserted that the 
“Double Bottom formation top could always become a post-breakout retesting 
zone in the event of rejection from the EMA.” In addition, he emphasized that 
BTC remains below the base of the macro triangle formation it broke down from 
in late January. Historically, Bitcoin has not been able to reclaim a macro 
triangle during a bear market once the price breaks down. If this trend 
continues, the analyst warned, then the flagship crypto could see limited 
additional upside toward the pattern’s base before resuming its correction 
toward the market bottom. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from
