📈 BTC — bullish week
BTC started the week at $70K and closed at $73,500 🚀 a solid +5% on the week. Good price action overall, even with all the noise going on around us 👀
😌 fear & greed — neutral zone
Fear & Greed is at 50 — neutral this week 😌 After months of gradual recovery from the extreme fear we had — the index was at 9 back in the darkest period 😱 — sentiment has slowly rebuilt itself over time. Getting to 50 is progress, not a one-week miracle 📈
🏦 ETF — institutions keep loading
BTC spot ETFs recorded $996.4M in inflows this week 💰 that's the 3rd consecutive week of positive flows. Institutions are buying consistently while retail is still cautious. This is one of the most important data points to track right now 🐋
Something interesting this week — BTC seems to be moving in correlation with gold $XAU 👀 Both assets are catching bids in this uncertain macro environment. When investors are scared of inflation and geopolitical risk, they tend to go toward hard assets. BTC is increasingly being treated like digital gold in that context. Worth watching if this correlation holds 🧠
🛢️ iran — ceasefire breaking down
The situation flipped again this week 😬 The Revolutionary Guard closed the Strait of Hormuz, accusing the US of violating the ceasefire. First round of talks in Islamabad lasted 21 hours and ended with zero agreement. Iran then refused to come back for a second round.
⚠️ Hormuz closed again — Revolutionary Guard
🛢️ Oil jumped +6% — back to $95/barrel
😤 Trump called it a "serious violation"
📅 Ceasefire deadline: April 22 — watch this
No deal = oil stays high = inflation stays = Fed can't cut = pressure on risk assets. The clock is ticking 👀
🔑 week in short
Good week for BTC on paper 📊 ETF flows strong, sentiment improved over months, price up. But the Iran situation is still unresolved and can reverse everything fast — we've seen it happen twice already. Stay alert, don't get complacent. 🎯
