Bitcoin ETFs Attract Billions Amid Rally to $78k
Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin Magazine reports that Bitcoin ETFs have continued their winning streak, attracting billions in new investment over the past week. U.S. investors injected $2.56 billion since last Monday, helping push the leading cryptocurrency’s price higher. This week alone, nearly $652 million in fresh cash hit products managed by BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Fidelity. Bitcoin recently traded for $78,302 after jumping nearly 25% over a seven-day period. The rise follows a sluggish June and July when the asset mostly traded below $65,000. Positive regulatory news from the White House and a debasement trade driven by U.S. borrowing concerns have spurred this activity. Gold and Bitcoin ETFs combined for a record $7 billion in flows over a five-day period.
What Whalio's data showed
Binance spot order flow for BTC, measured when this story was published on 26 August 2026.
The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 51.0%, indicating a near-even split between buyers and sellers over the full day. However, the 4-hour buy ratio rises to 53.1%, suggesting that buying pressure is building in the shorter term compared to the daily average. The 1-hour buy ratio drops to 48.4%, showing that immediate buying momentum is slightly fading relative to the 4-hour window. Volume Delta reflects this shift, with a strong positive $40.4 million over 24 hours and $9.6 million over 4 hours, but turning negative at -$2.3 million in the last hour. This divergence implies that while net buying has been robust over the day, recent intraday activity has seen sellers take the upper hand. The spot volume of nearly $1.97 billion confirms high participation, but the negative 1-hour delta signals a potential short-term pause in the upward momentum.
