Bitcoin advanced 25.83% over 7 days to $79,291.33, with spot ETF inflows of $1,957.9 million across the last five trading sessions, continuing an inflow streak of six consecutive days.
Watch whether RSI mean reversion triggers a pullback, or if sustained ETF inflows push price past $80,000. The 5:1 long liquidation ratio and overbought readings suggest elevated correction risk; a break below the recent seven-day low of $58,566 would test whether the rally has structural support.
