The Institutional Floor Reappears: US Spot Bitcoin ETFs Record $787.4 Million in Net Inflows — Breaking Four Consecutive Weeks of Outflows With a Three-Day $1.02 Billion Buying Wave
After four consecutive weeks of outflows totaling approximately $3.8 billion, US spot Bitcoin ETFs snapped the streak with $787.31 million in net inflows for the week of February 23–27, 2026 — the strongest weekly inflow figure in over a month. BlackRock's IBIT contributed $503 million alone, lifting its cumulative net inflow total to $61.81 billion. A precise three-day buying wave delivered over $1.02 billion in consecutive inflows, with February 25 posting $506.5 million — the largest single-day figure in three weeks. The signal arrived with perfect timing and immediately ran into the hardest possible test: US and Israeli strikes on Iran the very next day.
Bitcoin’s Sudden Break Below $65,000: Inside the Tariff Shock, Flow Dynamics and Critical Technical Levels
Bitcoin has abruptly broken below the $65,000 mark after a 4–5% daily slide, extending an already painful drawdown that has wiped out roughly half of its value since the October 2025 peak around $125,000. A confluence of Trump’s surprise move to hike global tariffs to 15%, renewed risk‑off in equities, heavy ETF redemptions and visible whale selling into thin weekend liquidity has dragged BTC into a technically fragile zone where $60,000–$65,000 now separates a standard cycle correction from a full‑blown trend reversal.
The Floor Holds: Bitcoin's 9% Surge Toward $70,000 Is Where Technicals and Structural Demand Finally Converge
Bitcoin has jumped roughly 9% intraday to retest the $70,000 threshold — its largest single-session percentage gain since early February — as a leverage flush, negative funding rates, and persistent spot buying at the $62,000–$65,000 demand floor converged into a classic technical squeeze. The question now is whether bulls can hold this level and convert the move into a structural breakout, or whether thin liquidity and lingering ETF outflows will allow sellers to reassert control.
