Bitcoin has spent the majority of the past 24 hours on a notable rally that saw it price peak at an intraday high of $94,320. This rally marks an interesting change from the tight consolidation range between $80,000 and $85,000 that had defined Bitcoins trajectory through much of April. Behind this breakout lies a significant uptick in institutional activity through Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which recorded their highest daily inflows since January. Interestingly, this inflow surge has helped push Bitcoin into the top five largest assets globally, surpassing Alphabet, Silver, and Amazon in market capitalization. Spot Bitcoin ETFs Sees Largest Inflows Since January According to data from SoSoValue, US-based Spot Bitcoin ETFs raked in $936.43 million in net inflows on Tuesday, April 22 alone, marking their best single-day performance since January 17 when it registered $1.08 billion. Wednesday, April 23 also witnessed similar performance, registering inflows of $916.91 million.

Furthermore, Spot Bitcoin ETFs are now on four days of consecutive inflows of $100 million or more. The last time such happened was in the last week of January. These inflows into Spot Bitcoin ETFs follow a weeks-long dry spell in ETF activity, which saw many traders question the sustainability of institutional interest. Nonetheless, the timing of these inflows couldnt be more impactful. Bitcoins price surged in tandem with recent ETF activity, showing the the strong effect these ETFs have come to have on the spot price of Bitcoin. BTC Surpasses Amazon And Google To Become Fifth Largest Asset Worldwide The ETF inflows lit the spark and the resulting market reaction pushed Bitcoins rise up the global rankings. According to data from CompaniesMarketCap, Bitcoins total market value climbed to over $1.87 trillion as it crossed over $94,000 for the first time in eight weeks.

This development positions BTC not only as a leading cryptocurrency but also as a top-tier macroeconomic asset, competing on the global stage with traditional tech and commodity giants. As it stands, Bitcoin is now outperforming the NASDAQ 100, and analysts are pointing to signs of decoupling from traditional indices. Now that Bitcoin is trading above $90,000 again, the next focus is on where it goes from here. The bullish trajectory would be on the $100,000 price level, and whether BTC can break above this level before the end of April. That said, the $94,000 region is now shaping up to act as an early resistance band, and short-term profit-taking could cause pullbacks that might liquidate buy orders.
