Bitcoin's recent performance has attracted attention, with spot ETF trading volume rebounding to $5 billion and prices rising over 1.6%, approaching $92,970. However, selling pressure still exists, and market buying demand remains weak. Analysts are cautious about the future upward trend and recommend focusing on traditional safe-haven assets, with market opinions clearly divided.

【Crypto World】Bitcoin’s recent performance has attracted considerable attention. The trading volume of the US spot Bitcoin ETF rebounded to over $5 billion, with products like BlackRock’s IBIT attracting an influx of $448 million. Supported by this wave of capital, BTC price increased by more than 1.6%, reaching around $92,970.

However, the story isn’t that simple. Although trading activity has risen, selling pressure in the market still seems to persist. The premium index on a major mainstream exchange remains negative (-0.196%), indicating that buy demand on the US side isn’t very strong. From a technical perspective, the RSI index is at 58.72, which theoretically leaves room for further upward movement.

But how far can this rally go? Some analysts remain cautious, considering it a fleeting surge, and even suggest investors shift their focus to traditional safe-haven assets like precious metals. Whether the market will continue to bullishly push Bitcoin higher or turn to other asset allocations is a point of clear divergence among market participants.

The premium index is still negative, which is quite awkward. --- 92,970 has already been reached, and you're still saying it's a flash in the pan? People said the same thing last year at this time. --- Hey, ETF funds look substantial, but the negative premium really makes me a bit uneasy. --- RSI is only around 58, there's still room to rise, everyone, don't rush to run away. --- Precious metals? Forget it, it's more exciting to watch Bitcoin's market. --- Can it break through this time? The premium index has me confused. --- The 5 billion trading volume rebound is indeed impressive, but it feels like the momentum isn't strong enough. --- A flash in the pan? You analysts always say that every time, so annoying. --- At this pace, 93,000 probably isn't the end point.

The premium index is still negative. Can this rebound really last? It feels a bit虚啊 --- 92k and still hesitating? I just want to know if big institutions are really still accumulating --- The word "昙花一现" (a fleeting moment) is used perfectly haha, it does feel a bit like blowing bubbles --- Precious metals? Come on, wake up. We're not in the crypto world to hedge risks --- RSI is only around 58, still far from it. Don't be so pessimistic --- 4.48 billion flowing in, so what? It depends on whether institutions will follow up later --- What does negative premium indicate? It just shows that selling pressure is really high, and that's the key

Premium index is negative? That's outrageous. It feels like this wave of rise is just institutions cutting leeks. --- $93,000 is still repeatedly testing, I really don't know if it's going to surge or drop. I'm exhausted. --- BlackRock is bleeding us dry, retail investors are still in a daze. --- Nah, I still see it as bearish. RSI is only around 58, there's no sign of a breakout at all. --- A negative premium index indicates a problem; the money from the US hasn't entered the market at all. --- Are they going to cut us again? I know this trick all too well.

Negative premium index, that's quite ironic. --- IBIT has raised over 400 million, but the premium is still negative. Feels like someone is dumping. --- Can the 92970 level really hold? I’m skeptical. --- Another wave of诱多? By the way, precious metals are not doing too well now. --- RSI is only 58.72, not yet at the top, but this negative premium makes me a bit anxious. --- Feels like the same old trick, first pump then crash, a game to make quick money. --- BlackRock is pouring money in, but the market is dumping. How do we play this? --- Is it institutions protecting the market or harvesting? Truly hard to tell. --- A fleeting bloom +1, I've seen too many of these market conditions. --- Switching to precious metals? Bro, precious metals are also falling.

The issue of negative premium really can't be sustained. What are the Americans up to again? --- 4.48 billion in inflows sounds substantial, but negative premium is really just giving latecomers a false sense of security. --- 92970 still want to continue? First, get the premium back to positive before talking. --- ETF data looks good, but the selling pressure is still there, which is a bit uncomfortable. --- RSI is only 58? There's room for further upward movement, but the question is, who dares to follow? --- BlackRock is again harvesting retail investors; this routine has been seen many times. --- Heard they're switching to precious metals? Laughs, they've found a good excuse to run away.

The premium index is still negative; this detail is a bit heartbreaking. Hold on until 100k? I bet this move won't last long. Again with precious metals... this set of phrases is getting a bit annoying. Wait, is a trading volume of 5 billion really that strong? Feels less bullish than expected. Given this selling pressure, it's better to stay on the sidelines for now and avoid getting caught.

The negative premium is a bit hard to hold, it feels like something that looks glamorous on paper but has turbulent undercurrents underneath.

The negative premium index still dares to push upward, isn't that self-deception? This rebound is just capital betting; don't be fooled by the 448 million. Honestly, the 92970 level is a bit risky, RSI is only around 58, and it's already hitting the ceiling? Precious metals? Alright everyone, you go bottom-fishing for gold while I keep trading. ETF data looks good, but with such heavy real-market selling pressure, who dares to buy?

The premium index is still negative; this rebound might be losing momentum.
