Points of Focus
- US spot Bitcoin ETFs added $314.3 million on Aug. 25, extending inflows to seven straight sessions.
- The streak has brought in $2.57 billion, with IBIT contributing $284.4 million of the latest daily total.
- Bitcoin holds near $79,000 after topping $81,000, with $82,800-$83,000 as the next key test.
Bitcoin (BTC) traded near $79,000 at the time of writing after briefly topping $81,000 on Aug. 25. Exchange-traded fund (ETF) demand remained positive through the pullback, with US spot Bitcoin funds adding $314.3 million on Tuesday and extending their inflow streak to seven straight sessions.
Bitcoin ETF inflows reach $2.57 billion in seven days
Farside Investors data show the seven sessions from Aug. 17 through Aug. 25 produced $2.57 billion in combined net inflows. The inflows continued even after Bitcoin gained roughly 23% over seven days, with buyers adding exposure at prices well above the $63,000 area traded earlier this month.
The latest session was far more concentrated. BlackRock’s IBIT took in $284.4 million, or about 90% of Tuesday’s total, while Fidelity’s FBTC added $15.4 million. None of the listed funds posted a net outflow. IBIT’s share shows that one fund drove most of the latest increase even as the broader seven-day streak remained intact.
Bitcoin’s price faces $82,800-$83,000 test
CryptoQuant head of research Julio Moreno said on X on Aug. 25 that the company’s market regime had “switched to Bull for Bitcoin.” CryptoQuant’s Bull Score jumped from 30 to 80 in one week, while Moreno identified Bitcoin’s 365-day moving average (MA) near $83,000 as the next confirmation level.
Market regime has switched to Bull for Bitcoin.
Basically all metrics are pointing to the initial phase of a new bull market.
Two things to keep in mind:
– Bitcoin's price still has to cross above its 365-day MA ($83K today) for the bull market to be "officially" confirmed.… pic.twitter.com/Vw0hZWHRvX— Julio Moreno (@jjcmoreno) August 25, 2026
Bitcoin’s failure to hold above $81,000 leaves that threshold untested. Moreno also flagged high unrealized gains and rising exchange inflows as potential sources of selling pressure, giving traders a reason to treat the ETF streak as support rather than confirmation of a sustained rally.
Glassnode added another nearby reference point in an Aug. 25 X post. Its Bitcoin Vector impulse flipped positive from the lows, while the next upside target stood at $82,800. That places two separate upside reference points within roughly $200 of each other.
