<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45007049/bitcoin-etfs-see-442m-daily-inflow-as-btc-hovers-around-94000">U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs</a> recorded $591.3 million in net inflows on Monday, marking their seventh consecutive day of positive flows as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) continues trading above $95,000.
What Happened: BlackRock&#8216;s BItcoin ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) dominated the inflow activity, attracting $970.9 million in new investments while several competitors experienced outflows, according to <a href="https://sosovalue.com/assets/etf/us-btc-spot">data</a> from SoSoValue. 
Ark and 21Shares&#8216; (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>) saw $226.3 million in outflows, while Fidelity&#8216;s (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>) recorded $86.9 million leaving the fund. 
Despite these mixed results across individual funds, the overall ETF market has shown remarkable strength in recent weeks. 
Last week saw $3 billion in total inflows, the highest weekly figure since November 2024, pushing cumulative net inflows to $39.02 billion—the highest level since Feb. 24.
The continued ETF demand comes as Bitcoin trades sideways at $95,130 after briefly surpassing $95,000 earlier on Monday. 
Total trading volume across the 12 ETFs reached $2.4 billion, down from $3.3 billion on Friday.
Meanwhile, spot Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) ETFs extended their own positive streak to three days, with $64.1 million in net inflows.

Why It Matters: The strong institutional demand for Bitcoin through ETFs coincides with significant developments at the state government level. 
On Monday, the Arizona House of Representatives approved two bills that could establish the nation&#8217;s first state-level Bitcoin reserve. 
Senate Bill 1025, known as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45058619/arizona-moving-to-convert-up-to-10-of-its-treasury-to-bitcoin-legislature-clears-bills-paving-way-for-strategic-crypto-reserve">Arizona Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act</a>, passed with 31 votes in favor and 25 against, proposing to allocate up to 10% of the state treasury and retirement system funds to digital currencies, particularly Bitcoin.
A companion bill, SB1373, which would establish a state-level digital assets reserve, passed with broader support of 37-19. Both bills now head to Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs&#8216; desk for approval.
Arizona&#8217;s legislative push follows President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43177482/trump-signs-executive-order-on-crypto-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-evaluated">establishment of a federal Bitcoin reserve</a> earlier this year, which will be funded through cryptocurrency recovered from criminal or civil asset forfeiture and &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43177482/trump-signs-executive-order-on-crypto-bitcoin-reserve-to-be-evaluated">budget-neutral strategies</a>.&#8221;
If Governor Hobbs signs the legislation, Arizona would become the first state to formally establish a cryptocurrency reserve, potentially setting a precedent for other states considering similar measures amid growing institutional adoption of digital assets.

Barclays Maintains Overweight on CACI International, Raises Price Target to $510

A rare and historically reliable bullish signal just flashed on Wall Street, and if history is any guide, the next few months could deliver double-digit gains <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">for the S&amp;P 500. </a>
In a note shared last week, Bank of America technical analyst Paul Ciana said the latest "breadth thrust" marked the fourth bullish signal for the S&amp;P 500 this year, potentially clearing the runway for a move toward 6,000 by year-end.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's a Breadth Thrust And Why It Matters</h3>
A breadth thrust is a technical indicator used to identify the beginning of a new bull market or the acceleration of an existing uptrend. Rather than focusing on index levels, it looks at market breadth, which refers to the percentage of stocks participating in a rally.
&#8220;A breadth thrust means market breadth has improved from weak to strong over a short period of time,&#8221; Ciana wrote.
The most widely accepted definition comes from financial analyst Marty Zweig, who stated that a breadth thrust occurs when the 10-day moving average of advancing stocks divided by the total number of stocks rises from below 40% to above 61.5% within 10 trading days.
That happened on April 24, when the S&amp;P 500 closed at 5,484.77, confirming the 32nd such signal since 1927.
"Since 1939, the S&amp;P 500 was higher 100% of the time — 16 out of 16 — following a breadth thrust in both 130 and 190 trading days," Ciana said, adding that average returns stood at 17.1% and 19.6%, respectively.
&#8220;If the SPX falls below 5,484.77 in the second quarter – a risk from the death cross signal – then the breadth thrust signal favors buying,&#8221; the analyst added. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What History Tells Us About Breadth Thrusts</h3>
Since 1939, breadth thrusts have been extremely reliable forward indicators. The table below summarizes how the S&amp;P 500 performed after the last 16 such signals:

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Four Bullish Signals Light The Way</h3>
Bank of America now counts four recent technical indicators supporting a positive outlook for stocks, despite what it calls a &#8220;cyclical bear period&#8221; resembling the choppy years of 2022, 2018, 2015 and 2005.
The signals include:
<ul>
<li>A VIX volatility index spike above 45.</li>
<li>An NYSE 90% up day, where 90% of stocks advanced on a substantial volume (occurred on April 9, 2025).</li>
<li>An SPX death cross, a traditionally bearish event that in this case sets up a contrarian buy-the-dip opportunity.</li>
<li>The April 24 breadth thrust, now considered a powerful bullish confirmation.</li>
</ul>
Despite these bullish signals, the S&amp;P 500 is still grappling with technical hurdles. The index currently trades below its 200-day simple moving average, which sits around 5,746. 
Ciana indicated that a &#8220;cup and handle-like&#8221; base may be forming, with the potential to lift the index back toward its year-to-date highs. Yet, a drop below &#8220;the bull gap at 5,356-5,309&#8221; could invalidate this setup, making near-term market action crucial.
A push above 5,500-5,571 would favor a bullish wave count, projecting the index toward 6,000.
On Tuesday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) traded at $550, or about 10% below its all-time high of $613.

Debt Management: Traeger's debt-to-equity ratio surpasses industry norms, standing at 1.57. This suggests the company carries a substantial amount of debt, posing potential financial challenges.
<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.
