Bitcoin is currently holding steady around the $75,000 support level, which analysts at Wintermute identify as a critical threshold for maintaining its bullish trajectory. The $87,000 resistance zone is also significant, as a breakout above this level could signal a stronger upward trend.

Despite the relative resilience of Bitcoin compared to traditional risk assets, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced a notable $679 million in net outflows, suggesting some institutional caution. This outflow could be a factor in the current market consolidation.

Altcoins have faced stronger headwinds, with a weekly loss of 5.69% as investors appear to be favoring Bitcoin amidst the uncertainty. This has led to Bitcoin's dominance rising to 60%, indicating a potential shift in market sentiment towards the leading cryptocurrency.

The broader crypto market cap stands at $2.76 trillion, reflecting a general downturn. Bitcoin itself is down 1.34% in the last 24 hours, trading at $80,486, with a market cap of $1.62 trillion. The Fear & Greed index remains at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

The key levels to watch for Bitcoin are the $75,000 support and $87,000 resistance. A sustained break above or below these levels could set the direction for the next major market move. Investors will be closely monitoring ETF flows and altcoin performance for further cues.
