Bitcoin trades around $89,112, up 1.25% in the last 24 hours; Ethereum near $3,015, up 3.19%; XRP at $1.92, up 1.8%. The gain follows a tech stock rally in the U.S. ahead of major earnings, driving broad market optimism for risk assets.

Asset flows into Bitcoin ETFs are supporting the move, led by BlackRock’s IBIT and Grayscale BTC. The latest tally shows $68 million net inflow after five days of outflows, signaling renewed institutional demand.

The Alternative.me Fear and Greed index sits at 29, indicating fear in the market. If ETF demand persists and liquidity remains supportive, crypto and equities could extend their gains. However, volatility may remain elevated as earnings results and macro cues continue to influence sentiment.
