A bullish trend emerged in the crypto market on March 4, 2026, as the U.S. Bitcoin spot ETF recorded a net inflow of $225.2 million. Futures positions surged sharply, marking the largest single-day increase since July 2025. Institutions including Ark Invest, which bought COIN and HOOD, and Gamma Fund, which purchased 9,000 ETH at $1,984, increased their holdings. However, BlackRock’s ETF address saw 3,809 BTC withdrawn over 20 hours. On-chain analyst Murphy reported an "extreme negative" confidence index and a shift in Bitcoin’s BRS signal. Santiment noted that social media discussions about altcoins to watch have reached a historic low, a pattern often signaling a potential rebound.

BlockBeats news, on March 4, accompanied by yesterday's net inflow of $225.2 million into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, Bitcoin led a strong rebound in the crypto market today, with total open interest on derivatives contracts posting its largest single-day increase since July last year, and multiple institutions also increased their crypto positions, including:


Ark Invest continues to buy the dip in COIN and HOOD, steadily increasing its holdings in crypto-related stocks;


BlackRock's ETF address had a net withdrawal of 3,809 BTC over the past 20 hours;


The Gamma Fund invested in 9,000 ETH at an average price of $1,984.


Alongside institutional buying, multiple analysts are also bullish on the cryptocurrency market:


On-chain data analyst Murphy stated that the market sentiment index has reached an "extreme negative" level, indicating that investor confidence in Bitcoin's trend is nearly collapsed. Additionally, Bitcoin's short-term momentum signal, "BRS," has reversed after a month, shifting from a prolonged "buy signal" that lasted exactly one month toward a "sell signal."


Cryptocurrency market analysis firm Santiment says that social media discussion around the "altseason" has hit a record low. However, historical data shows that when interest in altcoins falls to extreme lows, it often precedes a rebound.
