What Happened: Geopolitical tensions continue to weigh on global markets, including stocks and crypto, following Israel’s military strike on Iran in the early hours of Friday.

IntoTheBlock data highlights that 91% of Bitcoin holders are currently in profit, while 9% are at breakeven. Total exchange inflows more than doubled to 2.54 billion as of April 18 from 1.1 billion on April 17, and daily active addresses increased by 4.3% to 828,630.

Analyst Notes: Paxton, the creator of Binance Square, tweeted that Bitcoin is in a significant rally.

Meanwhile, notable crypto trader and analyst CrediBULL Crypto hinted at a potential upward grind despite a momentum stall in his latest X post.

He noted that while Bitcoin’s momentum had stalled overnight, resulting in a three-legged move instead of a clean five-wave impulse, the cryptocurrency could still see an upward trend. However, he cautioned market participants to remain vigilant and consider potential risks when reaching range highs.

What's Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga's upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
