> $5.1 million entered U.S. spot Bitcoin funds on Oct. 15 after the prior session's $261.4 million outflow; Ether funds lost $60.3 million.

Bitcoin (BTC) returned above $82,000 Friday after briefly slipping below $80,000 a day earlier, while U.S. spot funds posted different flow results for Bitcoin and Ether (ETH).

At 6:41 a.m. ET (10:41 UTC) Oct. 16, the snapshot put Bitcoin at $82,186, Ether at $2,455 and XRP at $1.34. Bitcoin was above its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $80,446. A prior recovery attempt had stalled near $84,000.

U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) had a net inflow of $5.1 million on Oct. 15, after $261.4 million in net outflows on Oct. 14. Ether ETFs lost $60.3 million on Oct. 15, following $129.5 million in net outflows the previous session.

Ether's 100-day and 200-day EMAs were $2,358 and $2,304, respectively, while its 50-day EMA stood at $2,494. XRP was near its 100-day EMA at $1.34; its 200-day and 50-day EMAs were $1.38 and $1.39.

The Bitcoin inflow was small relative to the previous session's withdrawals, and Ether outflows continued. These figures describe activity in listed funds and do not account for all buying and selling across crypto markets.
