The post Bitcoin Price Analysis: Strong Technicals and Institutional Confidence Drive Bullish Outlook appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
On May 22, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high, closing at $111,390 after briefly touching an intraday peak of $112,000. Despite this milestone, market behavior suggests this may not be the euphoric top—capital is still flowing in at unprecedented levels.
Investor Confidence Remains Unshaken: $1.8B Daily Inflows Match 2021 Peak
According to on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr., Bitcoin is now averaging around $1.8 billion in daily net inflows, comparable to the peaks last seen in the November 2021 bull market, when BTC hit $64,000. Adler, known for his data-driven insights shared on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), emphasizes that this volume of inflow is a strong indicator of sustained investor confidence, even after setting new all-time highs.

“Daily net inflows remain historically high—even surpassing peak 2021 levels at current price points.”
Capital Flows Strongest at High Price Points—Not the Dip
Notably, Adler’s data reveals that capital surged most aggressively during price spikes—not dips. At $73,000, Bitcoin saw $3.6 billion in daily inflows, while the figure jumped to $4.5 billion per day when BTC was around $92,000.
This is a significant shift from past market behavior where buying typically intensified during pullbacks. The current cycle shows growing comfort among investors to buy at higher levels, possibly reflecting institutional conviction rather than short-term speculation.
Market Structure: A Breakout Followed by Consolidatio
At the beginning of May, Bitcoin hovered around $94,181, trading sideways in a narrow band. A sharp 6.42% surge on May 8 broke that pattern, launching a new phase of bullish momentum.
From May 18 to May 22, Bitcoin spiked over 8.3%, reaching its new high. However, a brief pullback followed: since May 23, BTC has dropped approximately 5.8%, now trading at $105,171.54. The retracement suggests a period of healthy consolidation rather than panic selling, especially considering broader macroeconomic stability and continued crypto ETF interest.
Technical Indicators Show Ongoing Strength
- RSI (Relative Strength Index): Currently at 53.58, suggesting neutral momentum. It has held between 50 and 70 since late May, indicating consolidation without immediate overbought conditions.
- Golden Cross: On May 22, the 50-day MA crossed above the 200-day MA—a bullish signal. The moving averages now stand at $97,776.48 and $94,668.91 respectively, with the gap widening, affirming strong trend momentum.
- ADX (Average Directional Index): At 25.88, it indicates a sustained trend strength. Since late April, the ADX has stayed above 25, further validating the current upward momentum.
Looking Ahead: Beyond the ATH
While the 5% weekly drop may seem alarming in isolation, zooming out reveals a 30-day gain of 11.1%. The volume of capital inflows, even at elevated price levels, underlines a shift in market psychology. Long-term investors appear increasingly comfortable entering the market at higher valuations, perhaps viewing Bitcoin as a macro-hedge rather than a volatile asset.
Final Takeaway
The new all-time high for Bitcoin is notable—but what matters more is the context behind it. Historical levels of capital inflow, strong technical signals, and a maturing investor base all point to a market that is evolving, not overheating.
In the words of analyst Axel Adler Jr., this may be the “most structurally sound bull cycle yet.”
