Improving market sentiment and continued institutional conviction could help stabilize ETF flows and support Bitcoin's recovery if selling pressure continues to ease.

Indian consumers are becoming less bullish on gold, with the share expecting prices to rise over the next three months falling from 69% to 61% in the World Gold Council's Q3 2026 survey.
Despite softer sentiment, Indian gold investment demand rebounded 12% quarter-on-quarter to around 60 tonnes, while gold ETF demand rose to 5.3 tonnes from 3.6 tonnes.

The source characterizes a break above the resistance area as a potential trigger for short liquidations, while rejection could indicate that the V-shaped recovery was primarily short covering.
