<p>The tumultuous saga of Bitcoin since its last all-time high in November 2021 has been fraught with challenges. Currently, the iconic cryptocurrency appears poised to revisit its peaks from three years ago, flirting with the $60,000 mark.</p>
<h2 id="h-bitcoin-at-60-000-just-hours-away">Bitcoin at $60,000, Just Hours Away?</h2>
<p>After fluctuating between $50,000 and <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-goes-up-and-down-52000-benchmark-soon-to-be-a-memory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$52,000</a>, <strong>Bitcoin has reignited its upward trajectory</strong> to settle around <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-continues-its-ascent-and-reaches-57000-crypto-analysis-of-february-27-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$57,000 yesterday</a>. However, judging by the latest data, this rise seems far from over.</p>

<p>Bitcoin is <strong>soaring rapidly</strong>, approaching $60,000 ($59,508 at 12:01 UTC+3) after starting the day at $57,000. But this surge is anything but smooth sailing. Within just 24 hours, the digital asset market has been rocked by <strong>a wave of liquidations amounting to approximately $250 million</strong>. <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LiquidationData" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinglass</a> reveals that <strong>short positions</strong> were particularly hit, totaling <strong>$140 million</strong>, while long side liquidations amounted to $100 million, with $70 million coming from short positions.</p>
<p>In the meantime, <strong>exchange-traded funds</strong> (ETFs) have recorded an exceptional day, marking their <strong>third-best performance</strong> in history. This trend illustrates the growing interest of institutional investors in Bitcoin, with record <strong>net inflows of $520 million</strong>, notably thanks to BlackRock.</p>

<p>But the turbulence doesn’t end there. <strong>Bitfinex </strong>has also seen the largest <strong>withdrawal of bitcoins</strong> since 2021, surpassing <strong>$240 million</strong>. This massive movement, equivalent to about 5,000 bitcoins, is largely attributed to the actions of industry’s big whales.</p>

<p>This uptrend is confirmed with an increase of about $55 million from the previous day, reports <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/insights/blackrocks-ibit-leads-with-record-520-million-inflow-3rd-best-day-since-launch/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CryptoSlate</a>.</p>
<p>BlackRock’s IBIT ETF dominates the pack with its record entry, bringing its total to <strong>$6.5 billion in net inflows</strong>. Fidelity’s FBTC follows closely with a solid net entry of $126 million, reaching a total of $4.5 billion.</p>
<p>These massive inflows into FBTC seem to mirror the outflows from GBTC, which have peaked at $7.6 billion after three consecutive days of minor outflows.</p>
<p>Combining the net inflows from the remaining seven ETFs, BitMEX reports an impressive amount of about $56 million, demonstrating the strength of the market. The total overall net inflows thus reach $6.7 billion, equivalent to about 134,000 BTC.</p>
