Despite a bearish outlook for Bitcoin, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF investors continue to buy.

The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw $107 million in inflows on July 18, marking nine consecutive days of inflows, with seven days exceeding $100 million.

This sustained investment comes despite a significant drop in positive Bitcoin commentary on social media, which is now just a third of what it was four months ago.

Traders are increasingly shorting Bitcoin, expecting further declines.

However, mentions of “buy the dip” have surged, and the Crypto Fear & Greed Index indicates market sentiment is in the “Greed” zone with a score of 60, rebounding from a recent low.
