Bitcoin holds above $112,000

[Redator]

Despite an aggressive intraday drop in the cryptocurrency market — likely aimed at flushing out speculators and weaker hands in preparation for the next leg of the bull run — Bitcoin managed to stay above the $112,000 level. And with continued inflows into crypto investment products, there's reason to remain calm.

In fact, when looking at the fundamental factors supporting the crypto industry, the outlook remains largely positive. Institutional interest is holding strong, and more corporations are adding digital assets to their balance sheets. Regulatory developments are ongoing, fostering innovation and expanding the practical use of cryptocurrencies. The regulatory environment is gradually becoming clearer, reducing uncertainty and improving the investment climate.

According to CoinShares, inflows into crypto products totaled $1.9 billion last week, following a $3.3 billion inflow the week before.

Strategy is expected to report new BTC purchases later today. Meanwhile, Asia's own "MicroStrategy," the company Metaplanet, has already announced the acquisition of another 5,419 BTC — the largest single purchase in its history. This brings its total holdings to 25,555 BTC.

Such large-scale corporate investments reflect growing long-term confidence in Bitcoin as a reliable asset and store of value. Major players like Metaplanet are showing that Bitcoin is moving beyond its speculative roots and is increasingly seen as a legitimate component of institutional portfolios.

Moreover, the actions of these companies could encourage other corporations to reassess their investment strategies and consider adding BTC to their balance sheets. This could spark a domino effect, driving further demand and fueling continued price growth.

Trading recommendations

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Buyers are currently targeting a return to $113,200, which would open a direct path toward $114,400 — and from there, it's a short jump to $116,000. The final target for this bullish leg is the $117,800 area; a breakout above this level would confirm the strengthening of the bull market. If Bitcoin falls, buyers are expected to step in around $111,900. A drop below this level could quickly drag BTC down to the $110,000 zone, with the next support at $108,200.

Ethereum (ETH/USD) A solid consolidation above $4,202 paves the way for a move toward $4,272. The final target is $4,397; a breakout here would signal increased buyer interest and confirm bullish momentum. If Ethereum declines, buyers will likely step in around $4,120. A fall below this zone could quickly send ETH toward $4,018, with deeper support at $3,922.
