Bitcoin remains around $77,000 amid rising tensions in the Middle East, which have dampened market sentiment. Bitcoin ETFs experienced $105.2 million in net outflows, while Ethereum ETFs saw $6.7 million in outflows, reflecting cautious investor behavior. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez noted a significant drop in Bitcoin network activity, indicating speculative traders are stepping back and long-term holders are accumulating. Ethereum faces pressure below $2,100, with risks of further decline if momentum does not improve, while XRP trades sideways near $0.73, a key support level for potential accumulation.
