Bitcoin eased after a record-setting weekend, slipping about 1½% to roughly $123.7K by early U.S. trade after touching an all-time high near $125.6K on Sunday. The pullback looks orderly against the backdrop of heavy U.S. spot ETF inflows—~$3.24B last week—which helped drive the breakout. One tracker calls it the largest weekly haul of 2025, while others rank it among the biggest since launch, underscoring how institutions are favoring regulated vehicles over direct coin buys.
Macro is doing its part. Ongoing U.S. government-shutdown jitters have delayed data and nudged investors toward “debasement trade” hedges like Bitcoin and gold. That narrative, paired with a softer dollar tone, set the stage for weekend highs- today’s dip looks more like digestion than doubt.
Flows outside crypto are lining up, too: Walmart-backed OnePay is preparing to add BTC/ETH trading and custody via Zerohash later this year – another sign mainstream finance is still moving in.
Under the hood, traders are focused on two levels: $125K+ as the zone that would confirm momentum on a closing basis, and $120K–$121K as first support from the breakout shelf. Most majors are slower today after last week’s pop – ETH, SOL, XRP, and DOGE are mixed to slightly lower – but breadth remains constructive as long as BTC holds that shelf.
