Bitcoin ($BTC) has posted its fourth consecutive weekly gain as investors move money back into risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.
BTC is currently trading at $77,650, up nearly 4% on the week. In the past eight trading sessions, Bitcoin’s price has risen from $68,000 to $78,000, a 12% increase. The gains for Bitcoin coincide with strong inflows into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Bitcoin ETFs are on their longest win streak since logging nine days of inflows in October 2025, a run that led BTC to hit its all-time high of just over $126,000. U.S. Spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have logged eight straight days of capital inflows totaling $2.10 billion.
What’s Driving BTC Higher?
Analysts warn that market sentiment remains fragile as tensions in the Middle East persist despite a three-week ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon being announced. Consequently, oil prices remain elevated, with Brent crude climbing above $106 per barrel. Also, the U.S. dollar has firmed, reflecting caution in financial markets.
Some leading players in the crypto sector say that the worst is over for digital assets. Michael Saylor, the chairman of Strategy ($MSTR), declared this past week that the “crypto winter” that began last autumn has now concluded.
