Bitcoin And Ethereum Lead Crypto Market Recovery As Technicals Signal Cautious Optimism


(MENAFN- The Rio Times) The cryptocurrency market staged a notable recovery over the past 24 hours, with official trading data and charts showing Bitcoin and Ethereum at the forefront of renewed investor interest.

TradingView's daily and 4-hour Bitcoin charts reveal a robust technical structure, while ETF inflows and macroeconomic factors have played a decisive role in the market's direction.

Bitcoin traded above $109,000, gaining nearly 4% in the last day and closing in on its all-time high of $111,965. The daily chart shows Bitcoin holding above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, confirming a strong uptrend.

The Ichimoku Cloud remains supportive, with price action well above the cloud, and the Bollinger Bands indicate that Bitcoin is testing the upper range, signaling increased volatility but not yet a reversal.

Resistance sits at $111,382, while key support levels are at $106,707 and $105,507. The 4-hour chart confirms this bullish momentum, with Bitcoin maintaining its position above all major moving averages.



However, the RSI on this timeframe approaches overbought territory, suggesting a short-term pause or minor pullback is possible. The MACD histogram has flattened, indicating that buying interest may be weakening, and a clear volume push is needed to sustain further gains.
Institutional ETF Inflows Ignite Crypto Rally Amid Technical Strength
Fundamental data supports this technical picture. On June 9, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs saw a combined net inflow of $438 million, reversing earlier outflows and reflecting a marked shift in institutional sentiment.

Bitcoin ETFs alone attracted $386.2 million, with major inflows to Fidelity and BlackRock products. This surge in ETF demand has erased the negative tone from earlier in the month and signals that large investors see value at current price levels.

Ethereum outperformed Bitcoin in the past 24 hours, briefly touching $2,800 before settling near $2,740, up 8.86%. Trading volume for ETH soared by 108% to $33.47 billion.

Staking activity on Ethereum reached an all-time high, with over 34.8 million ETH locked, representing nearly 30% of total supply. This milestone, alongside a 15-day streak of ETF inflows, underscores growing long-term confidence in the asset.

Solana and XRP also posted gains, though XRP struggled to break resistance and faces ongoing headwinds from declining network activity and regulatory scrutiny.

Solana's recovery signals potential for further upside, especially if speculation around ETF approval intensifies. Macroeconomic factors have contributed to the positive sentiment.

Easing concerns around US regulation and renewed US-China trade talks have improved the risk environment. However, the market remains cautious as traders watch for upcoming inflation data and central bank policy signals.

In summary, the past day's market action reflects a blend of strong technicals and improving fundamentals, but with clear signs that momentum may pause as the market digests recent gains.

Traders and investors should closely monitor resistance levels, volume trends, and macroeconomic developments to gauge the sustainability of this recovery.
