Bitcoin continues to trade above $64,000, supported by four consecutive days of strong net inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs. This surge in ETF investment comes as overall sentiment in the broader cryptocurrency market remains cautious, prompting investors to examine whether these inflows can generate the momentum needed for higher price gains.

At the latest market check, Bitcoin (BTC) stands at $64,223. Recent earnings figures from SoSoValue documented that US spot Bitcoin ETFs registered net inflows of $128.69 million on August 6. This has brought total ETF inflows to $52.08 billion since inception, with total net assets reaching $78.77 billion.
Such consistent buying has marked the fourth straight trading day of net inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs. According to Wu Blockchain, an independent research platform specializing in cryptocurrency tracking, Bitcoin ETFs brought in $129 million in net inflows and extended their winning streak to four days.
Four consecutive days of net inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs have underlined institutional investors’ steady accumulation, even as Bitcoin trades below its recent highs.
Data also indicates institutional investors are comfortable increasing exposure to Bitcoin, seemingly undeterred by its position below the most recent peak.
During the same period, Ethereum spot ETFs saw $92.15 million in net inflows, maintaining three straight days of positive flows. The ongoing capital movement into both Bitcoin and Ethereum products reflects a persistent interest from large investors.

Technical outlook and market activity
Bitcoin’s technical signals show steady but cautious improvement. According to TradingView data, the asset remains above a key support level at $60,817, while resistance persists at $73,331. The MACD indicator remains negative; however, the flattening histogram suggests waning bearish momentum.
Trading volume has stabilized after June’s downturn, pointing to reduced selling pressure and continued defense by buyers at critical price levels. Recent data from CoinGlass, a cryptocurrency derivatives analytics platform, shows that the average daily trading volume in Bitcoin derivatives has fluctuated between $40 billion and $70 billion. Open interest has held steady at approximately $48 billion to $50 billion.
| Indicator | Value/Range | Status |
|---|---|---|
| BTC spot price | $64,223 | Above $60,817 support |
| US spot BTC ETF inflows (Aug 6) | $128.69 million | 4th consecutive day |
| BTC derivatives volume | $40-70 billion daily | Stable |
| Open interest | $48–50 billion | Stable |
| ETH spot ETF inflows (recent) | $92.15 million | 3rd consecutive day |
These levels suggest that traders are primarily maintaining existing positions rather than exiting. Liquidation events have remained limited, implying balanced leverage. This overall balance is seen as a sign of trader resilience and neutrality during consolidation.
Consolidation and possible price moves
Technical indicators point to an improving, but not yet bullish, market structure. The persistence of ETF inflows indicates that institutions remain supportive, while stable derivatives data reflects trader confidence despite slow upward progress.
The current period of consolidation could shift if Bitcoin climbs above $73,331, opening the door to potential gains. Conversely, a drop below $60,817 would likely trigger renewed selling pressure.
For now, Bitcoin appears locked in a consolidation phase, with institutional inflows and consistent derivatives activity offering a foundation of support. The next major move will depend on whether buyers can gather enough momentum to break through resistance and resume an upward trend.
