Market Snapshot
BTC lingered in a tight range near the $70k mark, with near-term dynamics showing a mixed bias. The latest technical read indicates a minor upside tilt, supported by a low volatility regime but constrained by a key resistance level just above $72,000. ETF flow data show inflows for BTC and ETH on multiple horizons, offering additional context for risk appetite though not the primary signal for BTC movement.
