Fundamental-
Grayscale’s Crypto AUM has recently surpassed $30 Billion lvl and it was mostly driven by hedge fund involvement. Average commitment is in uptrend as well.
Fidelity Digital Assets President Tom Jessop is bullish on BTC along with Ray Dalio and Jordan Belfort (probably shouldn't mention him in the sentence as Dalio), both of them have been vocal critics of BTC until recently. Ray Dalio even went as far as claiming BTC as an alternative to gold-like assets.
Crypto exchange River Financial recently launched a mobile platform for iOS, aiming specifically at the demographic over 50s. If boomers join the BTC bandwagon, their wealth can become a powerful driving force of BTC's price
Derivative-
CME's leveraged funds have been steadily reducing their short positions since late Dec.
BTC futures volume, after reached its peak in mid Jan, has since come back down, but is still hovering around Dec. lvl.

SOPR has recently reached 1, which means ppl are now less willingly to sell below the break-even price unless majority of them believe price will drop further because we are still in the bear market, which is an unlikely scenario. This could potentially mean the end of profit-taking and the resuming of uptrend.
USDT issuance continues to climb up steadily so is StableCoin Supply Ratio (SSR), which might indicate more buying pressure to push up the BTC price.
