What Happened Overnight & the Day Before
Bitcoin (BTC):

Bitcoin surged past $109,000 after consolidating in a tight $104,000–$106,000 range for several days. The move higher was fueled by renewed ETF inflows and a technical breakout above key resistance. Trading volume was robust, with $839M in the past 24 hours.

Ethereum (ETH):

Ethereum led the majors with a 7.58% gain, breaking out above $2,600 and closing at $2,685, up from $2,508 yesterday.



This rally was supported by positive sentiment around ETH ETF inflows and a bullish chart pattern (inverse head and shoulders), suggesting further upside toward $2,800–$2,900 if momentum holds.

XRP:

XRP gained 2.35%, trading at $2.28, amid ongoing speculation about a potential XRP ETF and anticipation for major DeFi and AI integration updates at the upcoming XRPL APEX summit.

Solana (SOL):

Solana advanced 5.28% to $157.9, rebounding from recent underperformance. The move was attributed to renewed interest in Layer-1 tokens and strong transaction volumes on the Solana network.

Altcoins:

  • Labubu (LABUBU):** Exploded +34.68%, likely driven by speculative trading and low liquidity.
  • SKATE:** Skyrocketed +732.29%, indicating a possible listing event or viral trading activity.
  • WIF, FARTCOIN, ANIME:** All posted double-digit gains, reflecting risk-on sentiment among retail traders.

Litecoin (LTC):

LTC rose 2.82% to $89.81, continuing its steady climb, though underperforming the more speculative altcoins.
Technical Analysis: BTC/USDT
Daily Chart (1D) Analysis

  • Trend: Uptrend confirmed. BTC broke above the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, with price action decisively above the Ichimoku cloud.
  • Key Levels: Support at $105,500–$106,000, resistance at $111,650 (ATH).
  • Indicators: Bollinger Bands expanding, signaling increased volatility. The cloud is green and thickening, reinforcing bullish momentum.
  • Volume: Substantial, confirming the breakout.

4-Hour Chart (4H) Analysis

  • Trend:** Strong short-term uptrend. BTC broke above recent consolidation and is trading above all major moving averages.
  • Momentum:** RSI is elevated but not yet overbought, suggesting room for further upside.
  • Support/Resistance:** Immediate support at $107,800; resistance at $109,800–$111,000.

Comparison:

Both timeframes confirm a bullish breakout, but the 4H chart shows the move is relatively fresh and could be subject to short-term pullbacks. The daily chart supports a sustained rally if BTC holds above $107,000.
ETF Flows & Institutional Activity

  • Bitcoin ETFs: After a weak start to June with several days of net outflows (notably $278.4M on June 5 and $47.8M on June 6), ETF flows are showing signs of reversal as BTC rallies. BlackRock's IBIT remains the dominant source of inflows, but overall activity is lower than in May.
  • Market Commentary:
    > "ETF demand softens when Bitcoin enters a period of price inertia... but with this week's rally, renewed inflows could return if BTC holds above $107,000 at the US market open." - CryptoSlate via Bitget

Altcoin Highlights

  • Ethereum:** Outperformed BTC on a percentage basis, driven by ETF optimism and technical breakout.
  • XRP:** Steady gains, with ETF rumors and upcoming summit providing a bullish narrative.
  • Solana:** Recovery after a period of underperformance, likely due to renewed Layer-1 hype.
  • Speculative Altcoins:** SKATE, LABUBU, WIF, FARTCOIN, and ANIME saw extraordinary gains, reflecting high risk appetite and possible viral trading events.

Market Drivers & Sentiment

  • ETF Flows: Renewed optimism as BTC breaks out of a consolidation range, with expectation of inflows resuming if price holds above $107,000.
  • Technical Breakouts: Both BTC and ETH broke key resistance levels, triggering short liquidations and momentum buying.
  • Macro Backdrop: No major negative news; rate cut expectations and stable macro conditions are supporting risk assets.
  • Quotes from Market Makers:
    -“Bitcoin holding above $100K for over 25 days indicates a revival in bullish trend, even as investor sentiment remains neutral.” - CoinDCX Research Team
