Institutional Flows Return
Bitcoin is trading around $111,654 with daily turnover near $44.1 billion, and institutional demand is once again building momentum. According to CoinShares, crypto funds recorded $2.48 billion in net inflows last week, pushing August totals to $4.37 billion and year-to-date flows to $35.5 billion. That’s nearly 60% higher than last year, showing that capital is steadily finding its way back into digital assets despite macro uncertainty.
ETF Inflows Lead the Market
The United States dominated inflows with $2.29 billion, accounting for 92% of the total. Switzerland added $109.4 million, Germany $69.9 million, and Canada $41.1 million.

Ethereum outperformed with $1.4 billion in flows, while Bitcoin attracted $748 million. Solana ($177 million) and XRP ($134 million) also saw strong investor interest. Analysts note that institutions rotate into Ethereum during calm periods but consistently return to Bitcoin when uncertainty increases.
Macro Factors Still in Play
Optimism cooled after the release of Core PCE inflation data, which dampened expectations for a September Fed rate cut. Assets under management fell 10% to $219 billion after the news.
Still, analysts view this as a pause rather than a reversal. Ethereum funds generated nearly $4 billion in August alone, reflecting resilient appetite. Bitcoin remains the default safe-haven when macro risks grow, reinforced by $250 million of inflows last week.
Bitcoin Technical Outlook
Charts show Bitcoin forming an ascending triangle, pressing resistance near $113,400 while holding a base of higher lows.

The 50-SMA is at $111,325 and the 200-SMA at $112,755, providing layers of support.

RSI has cooled to 47, giving room for fresh momentum.
A clean break above $113,400 could open the way toward $115,400 and $117,150, with potential to extend toward $125,000 in the medium term. On the downside, losing $110,000 risks a drop to $108,450 and $107,407.
For traders, the setup is straightforward: closes above $113,400 favor long positions targeting $117K–$130K, while stops should remain below $110K.
