According to Farside Investors, BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF purchased $181.9 million worth of BTC on April 6, 2026. The world’s largest asset manager saw $86.5 million worth of outflows from its BTC ETF on April 1, 2026, and $3 million worth of outflows on April 2. Its latest purchase could be a signal that BlackRock has once again turned bullish on BTC. Let’s discuss what could happen next.
Will Bitcoin Rally After BlackRock’s IBIT ETF’s Big Purchase?
Despite BlackRock’s big purchase, Bitcoin (BTC) has faced a price correction today. The asset seems to be experiencing substantial resistance at the $69,000-$70,000 price range. Previously BTC faced resistance at the $72,000-$73,000 price level. According to CoinGecko data, BTC has fallen 0.5% in the last 24 hours, 2.7% in the 14-day charts, and 10.7% since April 2025. However, the original crypto has maintained gains in the weekly and monthly time frames, rallying by 1.5% and 2.2%, respectively.
The dip in Bitcoin’s (BTC) resistance level could mean diminished demand at the $72,000 mark. The possibility of a re-escalation in the US-Iran war may have spooked investors away from the crypto market. BlackRock may be buying the dip, anticipating a price surge in the coming weeks.
CoinCodex analysts also anticipate Bitcoin (BTC) to rally in the next few days. The platform predicts BTC will trade at $79,418 on April 15, 2025. Breaching the $79,000 mark could trigger another bullish phase for the crypto market.
However, there is also a possibility that Bitcoin’s (BTC) price will face further price corrections in the coming days. President Trump has threatened continued military operations on Iran unless the Strait of Hormuz is reopened and Iran’s nuclear ambitions are thwarted.

Furthermore, the chances of an interest rate cut in April 2026 is very low. If interest rates remain high, investors may remain cautious about risky investments, especially in Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies.
