Bitcoin rebounds to $82,500 as ETF flows improve

Bitcoin rebounded to $82,500 on Saturday, recovering from a nearly three-week low hit earlier in the week. The recovery was supported by improved exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows that boosted market sentiment.

However, experts cautioned that several headwinds remain. Institutional outflows, escalating US-Iran tensions, and artificial intelligence-related security concerns were flagged as potential risks to the market.

Bitcoin and Ethereum both finished the week in negative territory. Derivatives market data indicated substantial liquidations across cryptocurrency markets, suggesting ongoing volatility in the sector.
