In a notable shift, BlackRock purchased $181.9 million worth of Bitcoin for its spot ETF on April 6, 2026. This substantial inflow, reported by Farside Investors, follows consecutive days of outflows and suggests the asset manager may be turning bullish. Consequently, market watchers are closely analyzing the potential implications for BTC’s price trajectory.
However, Bitcoin’s price faced immediate resistance and corrected lower on the same day. CoinCodex analysts anticipate a rally, predicting BTC could reach $79,418 in the coming days. Meanwhile, the asset has fallen 10.7% since April 2025 despite maintaining weekly and monthly gains.
This price action indicates diminished demand at the $72,000 resistance level. Geopolitical tensions, including threats from President Trump regarding Iran, have spooked some investors. Consequently, high interest rates may further encourage caution toward risky assets like cryptocurrencies.
