Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP correct upward amid declining ETF inflows

• Bitcoin ticks up near $84,000 as bulls push to regain trend control following mild inflows into spot ETFs.
• Ethereum consolidates above $2,700 amid a broader bullish technical outlook and weakening institutional demand.
• XRP rises and reclaims $1.50 as momentum gradually builds on a solid moving-average support cluster.

The cryptocurrency market upholds a neutral-to-bullish bias on Tuesday, with Bitcoin (BTC) edging closer to a breakout above $84,000. Altcoins mirror BTC’s outlook, with Ethereum (ETH) holding above $2,700 and Ripple (XRP) pushing past the reclaimed $1.50 level.

Meanwhile, the path of least resistance appears to be upward despite shrinking institutional interest. On the bright side, firm technical structures suggest bulls have the upper hand.

ETF uptake dips as BTC, ETH and XRP consolidate

Bitcoin spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) extended their bullish streak with $31 million inflows on Monday, a notable drop from the $134 million last Friday. Last week alone, US-listed ETFs drew $2.4 billion in inflows, underscoring growing institutional demand. With the uptake falling this week, the tailwind that ETFs provided may shrink, leading to consolidation at key support ranges.
