ETF flows and gathering space by investors and institutional investors highlight the belief that Bitcoins are trading at a discount.

Next week’s US calendar events should bring a resolution to a number of fear catalysts that are suppressing prices across the crypto market.
Bitcoin (BTC) Traders spent most of the week arguing as sellers trapped each price breakout at $112,000 and buyers stepped in to defend all dips in the $107,000 to $108,000 zone.

Technical traders often point out that “compression before expansion” is expected as volatility drops and consolidates prices after a major market move like the October 10 sell-off, which saw BTC open interest fall by 50%.

Multiple analysts agree that the consolidation of the scope of Bitcoin may reach an end early next week, and altcoins may begin to recover due to the US macroeconomic calendar filled with a list of events.

2) Gold is in the distribution phase
