Bitcoin ETF Inflows Roared Back and Powered a 51% Reversal Higher

Roughly $1.4 billion moved into Bitcoin exchange-traded funds across two trading sessions, and that return of demand sits underneath a reversal that has carried Bitcoin more than 51% off its yearly low. Bitcoin ETF inflows are the most visible of three distinct sources of buying that arrived almost simultaneously, alongside renewed corporate treasury purchases and a wave of short covering. The distinction matters because those three sources behave very differently once the initial move is over. One of them can keep buying indefinitely, one buys on its own schedule, and one exhausts itself by definition.

Key Themes

• Bitcoin exchange-traded funds absorbed roughly $1.4 billion of inflows across two consecutive trading sessions.
• Corporate treasury buying resumed, with one buyer adding 950 Bitcoin after several weeks without a purchase.
• Short covering accelerated the breakout, adding forced demand on top of the voluntary kind.
