Bitcoin Holds Ground Amid Geopolitical Uncertainty and Improving Institutional Demand

Bitcoin's price action has been influenced by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, with investors reassessing their positions due to renewed conflict between the U.S. and Iran.

The confrontation has led to a temporary reduction in appetite for risk assets, supporting the U.S. dollar while weighing on cryptocurrencies.

Despite this, institutional demand for Bitcoin remains strong, with several consecutive sessions of net inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs at the beginning of July.

However, more recent data shows that inflows have become less consistent, with some funds returning to moderate outflows as investors await fresh U.S. inflation data and additional Federal Reserve guidance.
