Bitcoin\u2019s price is approaching the $74,000 level amid ongoing international geopolitical tensions. The move comes on the back of increased institutional involvement, as witnessed by the net inflows into spot BTC ETFs.<\/p>\n

Data shows<\/a> that BlackRock has been the biggest buyer, acquiring $600.1 million worth of BTC over the past week, while Grayscale\u2019s GBTC has been the biggest seller. The world\u2019s largest asset manager is on a five-day streak, last selling on March 6th. The combined inflows total $763.4 million last week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ETH is also seeing positive inflows of $160.9 million for the week ending on March 13th. The biggest buyer was Fidelity\u2019s FETH ETF, while the biuggest seller was once again Grayscale.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s Price Tests $74,000<\/h2>\n

The leading cryptocurrency has consistently been making higher highs on the hourly chart since March 9th, pushing above $74,000 today and recovering by more than 13% since then.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0CryptoPotato\u00a0<\/em>reported<\/a>, the most recent increase led to the liquidation of more than $300 million across the board as the broader market also moves forward. Ethereum\u2019s price is up 7.4% over the past 24 hours; XRP is up 5.2%; Solana is up 5.8%; and so forth.<\/p>\n

This has resulted in a total market capitalization of close to $2.6 trillion and an improvement in the overall sentiment. The latter, however, remains in an extreme state of fear, according to the popular Fear and Greed Crypto Index.<\/p>\n

The Week Ahead in Crypto<\/h2>\n

As volatility picks up, the week ahead might bring more of it, with important economic events scheduled<\/a> over the next few days.<\/p>\n

First things first, February\u2019s PPI inflation report is coming out on Wednesday. It\u2019s unlikely to change the Federal Reserve\u2019s hawkish stance, but it\u2019s important to monitor nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Again, on Wednesday, the US Central Bank will announce its decision on interest rates. Prediction markets and CME futures predict a 99% probability of no change.<\/p>\n
