Bitcoin Briefly Tops $73,000 as ETF Inflows Near $789 Million

Bitcoin climbed above $73,000 in early March, a level last seen in early February, as spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed nearly $776 million last week and drew about $789 million in the first days of March, analyst Ali Martinez said. Onchain data based on Unrealized Price Distribution show the largest recent resistance cluster was around $70,685, and after clearing the $72,000 barrier Bitcoin moved into a zone with relatively sparse sell levels up to roughly $81,000. Martinez projects that if current buying pressure persists, the price could extend toward the $83,300–$84,500 range, with traders monitoring those levels as a potential area where a confirmed close above might challenge short‑term bearish views and leave room for a push toward new all‑time highs.
