Bitcoin Recovery Supported by Institutional Inflows, Faces Resistance at Recent Highs

Bitcoin's recovery is showing signs of strength thanks to robust institutional inflows, but it faces resistance at its recent highs.

The asset has stabilized near $83,500 after a 3% pullback over the past week, with investors closely watching whether sustained demand can extend the recovery or if stretched technicals will put the brakes on further upside.

Despite recent selling, institutional inflows have buffered price action and prevented a deeper retreat, driven by record-breaking ETF demand that brought in approximately $2.4 billion in net capital during the week ending September 25, 2026.

The expected trading range for the next week is $82,104 to $85,318, with $82,563 as support and $85,255 as resistance.
