Key Takeaways
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded nearly $1 billion in net inflows last week.
The inflows marked the strongest weekly performance since early January.
Bitcoin briefly moved above $77,000 before pulling back below $76,000.
ETF demand continues to provide support despite renewed geopolitical volatility.
Bitcoin ETFs Record Strongest Week in Months
US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted roughly $996 million in net inflows last week, marking their strongest weekly intake in more than three months.
The inflows reflect improving investor sentiment toward crypto despite continued geopolitical uncertainty and volatility across global markets.
Friday alone saw approximately $664 million in inflows, making it the strongest day of the week.
Other notable inflow days included:
Tuesday: $411.5 million
Wednesday: $186 million
Thursday: $26 million
The week began with a $291 million outflow on Monday before sentiment quickly reversed.
ETF Assets Climb Above $100 Billion
Total assets under management across spot Bitcoin ETFs rose back above $101 billion by the end of the week.
Trading activity also increased significantly, with daily ETF volumes nearing $4.8 billion.
The renewed ETF demand suggests that institutional investors continue to accumulate Bitcoin despite the market’s inability to sustain a breakout above recent highs.
Bitcoin Pulls Back Below $76K
Bitcoin briefly rallied above $77,000 after news that Iran had reopened the Strait of Hormuz during the ceasefire period.
However, BTC later pulled back below $76,000 after reports emerged that Iran had once again tightened control over the waterway, causing oil prices to rebound and risk sentiment to weaken.
Bitcoin is now trading below $76,000 and remains trapped within a broader consolidation range between roughly $72,000 and $76,000.
Markets Continue Pricing in Iran Developments
Investors are increasingly reacting to shifts in geopolitical tensions rather than the existence of the conflict itself.
Signs of temporary de-escalation between the US and Iran initially improved risk appetite and weakened the US dollar, helping support Bitcoin and ETF inflows.
However, renewed uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz has prevented Bitcoin from sustaining its recent breakout attempt.
Key Bitcoin Levels to Watch
Bitcoin remains range-bound for now.
Key levels include:
Resistance near $76,000–$77,000
Major upside target near $80,000
Near-term support around $72,000
Stronger downside support near $70,000
ETF demand continues to act as an important source of support, but Bitcoin may need a clearer improvement in macro conditions before it can break out decisively.
