Bitcoin extended its seven-day rally to 25.83%, reaching $79,291.33 on August 25, 2026, as spot ETF inflows persisted. The desk's ETF flows board showed $337.6 million net inflow on August 24 and $1,957.9 million across the last five trading sessions, marking six consecutive days in the same direction. Cumulative spot ETF inflows stand at $54,113 million year-to-date.

Technical indicators reveal overbought conditions across major assets. Bitcoin's 14-period RSI stood at 82.5; Ethereum's at 78.9. Both assets trade above their 200-day simple moving averages with MACD above signal lines. Bitcoin has not formed a golden cross. The price remains 36.4% below its 12-month high of $124,739.81, touched in May. Over 30 days, Bitcoin gained 27.32%, and 30-day volatility measured 43.5%, per the desk's Market Pulse board.
On the leverage side, Bitcoin open interest on OKX reached $2,279,456,326, with an 8-hour funding rate of 0.005% and annualized rate of 5.4%. Long-to-short ratio stood at 1.1. Liquidations over the last 14 hours numbered 1,600, with $10,403,326 in long liquidations against $1,970,831 in short liquidations, a ratio of 5 to 1. Ethereum open interest hit $1,501,501,486 with an annualized funding rate of 10.9%.
The Fear and Greed Index reached 74 (Greed), at the top of its 30-day range of 25 to 74. Stablecoins held at $308.8 billion, up 0.12% over 30 days, providing $100 million in estimated buying power on-exchange. The desk's whale flows board showed $151.2 million moving onto exchanges in the last 24 hours, with the largest single moves being $394 million and $87 million in Bitcoin to Coinbase Institutional, offset by $155 million and $80 million moving off Coinbase Institutional.
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.
And that's the way it is.
