#$BTC # Bitcoin may be on the verge of another major breakthrough as institutional investments return to levels that have previously triggered rapid price acceleration.

According to a new analysis by Ecoinometrics, the 30-day incoming flows to spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETF) are approaching 50,000 BTC — a threshold that in the past has signaled the beginning of powerful upward movements.
The report highlights the strong correlation between ETF flows and the price trend of the leading digital asset. When the current incoming flows to the funds exceed 50,000 BTC, past data suggests that the price of Bitcoin tends to rise significantly, as observed in the fourth quarter of 2024 and early 2025. During these periods, Bitcoin quickly climbed to new highs, driven largely by institutional demand, reflected in the purchases of spot ETFs.
The Ecoinometrics model for the movement of exchange-traded funds against the current price indicates a potential target of $117,000 if inflows continue to grow. The model uses past surges in inflows to assess fair value, and the current dynamics suggest that BTC may soon return to the upper price ranges that historically correspond to strong fund accumulation.
The accompanying chart shows colored bars corresponding to the price range of BTC ($60,000 – $110,000 ), and compares them to the 30-day trajectory of fund flows. During periods of high inflows – especially above 50,000 BTC – the price has consistently risen, entering zones with warmer colors on the chart.
Inflows to ETFs are rising again in July, which is a sign that institutional confidence remains strong despite the recent consolidation. This recovery of positive momentum in the funds supports the forecast of $117,000 and suggests that Bitcoin may soon enter the next phase of breakout — as long as the inflow pattern continues.
As fund flows are a leading indicator of institutional demand, all eyes are on whether the level of 50,000 BTC will be decisively breached. If this happens, Bitcoin's path to six-figure territory may become increasingly likely in the coming months.
