Bulls pushed the price through $125,000 and $125,500 levels. The price even cleared $126,000 before the recent pullback.

ETF Inflows Drive Institutional Interest

BlackRock’s IBIT led the pack with $967 million in inflows on Monday. The fund has brought in $2.6 billion since the beginning of October.

Fidelity’s FBTC recorded $112 million in inflows. Bitwise’s BITB saw $60 million, while Grayscale’s BTC Mini Trust recorded $30 million.

October’s total ETF inflows reached $3.47 billion across just four trading days. Since launching, Bitcoin ETFs have cumulatively brought in around $60 billion.

The massive demand shows the influence of institutional investors in this bull market. Retail investors are reportedly still on the sidelines.

BlackRock Approaches Milestone

BlackRock’s IBIT is close to surpassing $100 billion in assets under management. The fund currently holds $98.5 billion in Bitcoin and cash.

IBIT holds 783,767 BTC according to its official website. The fund is set to reach the $100 billion mark in under 450 days.

The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF took more than 2,000 days to hit that milestone. Only 18 of over 4,500 trading ETFs have more than $100 billion in assets under management.

Immediate resistance for Bitcoin sits near $125,250. The first key resistance level is at $125,500.

The next resistance could be $126,200. A close above that level might push the price higher toward $126,500.

If Bitcoin clears those levels, the price could test $128,000. The next barrier for bulls would be $130,000.

On the downside, immediate support is near $124,200 and the trend line. The first major support sits at $123,250.
