US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recently experienced a notable surge in investor interest, registering their first five-day inflow streak of 2026.
This week, these funds accumulated approximately $767.32 million, with Friday alone contributing $180.33 million in net inflows, marking a continuation of positive momentum that commenced earlier in the week. The peak inflow occurred on Tuesday, when spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs garnered a substantial $250.92 million. This data, sourced from SoSoValue, underscores a significant recovery for Bitcoin products after a period of turbulence.
The last comparable streak of positive inflows for these ETFs was noted in late November 2025, from Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, when they recorded five consecutive days of net inflows totaling $284.61 million. Currently, the overall assets held by Bitcoin ETFs amount to $91.83 billion, with cumulative net inflows reaching $56.14 billion and about $4.93 billion traded on the day.
In a parallel development, US spot Ether (ETH) ETFs have also been witnessing positive momentum, experiencing a four-day inflow streak that recently added $26.69 million on Friday. This influx follows a series of gains initiated on Tuesday with $12.59 million, escalating to $57.01 million on Wednesday, and culminating with a robust $115.85 million on Thursday—the highest inflow for this period. Over the span of four days, Ether ETFs attracted approximately $212.14 million, effectively reversing earlier outflows recorded in March. Currently, cumulative net inflows for these funds stand at $11.79 billion, while total net assets reach $12.26 billion, alongside approximately $1.30 billion in value traded on the day.
This recent inflow pattern marks a significant turnaround for spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs after a challenging start to 2026, characterized by substantial outflows from both products during preceding weeks.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price performance remains closely tied to geopolitical dynamics, as rising tensions in the Middle East stir global risk sentiment. Analysts from Bitunix have pointed to the situation around the Strait of Hormuz and heightened oil prices as factors contributing to macroeconomic uncertainty and tempering expectations for aggressive interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. This environment has prompted investors to concentrate more on short-term liquidity rather than long-term risk exposure.
As a result, Bitcoin has been range-bound, with derivatives liquidation heatmaps indicating key short-liquidity resistance near $71,300. Additional concentration of resistance exists between $72,000 and $73,500, while liquidity support hovers around $69,000, with deeper long liquidation levels identified near $68,800. Unless significant macroeconomic catalysts emerge, Bitcoin price may continue to consolidate within these boundaries.
