Bitcoin (BTC) climbed back above $81,000 on Monday, adding 1.29% after a turbulent week previously. The rebound came as markets looked ahead to this week’s Trump-Xi summit in Washington.
Bitcoin managed to deal with the failure of the CLARITY Act, as well as A Federal Reserve rate hike, which added pressure Wednesday, its first increase since 2023. The coin climbed to near $82,000 after a week of matching volatile ETF inflows too.
What This Week Holds for Bitcoin ETF Inflows
Last week’s spot Bitcoin ETFs barely stayed positive. Ether funds broke a four-week inflow streak. The CLARITY Act vote, a stalled Senate bill on crypto token rules, and a Fed rate hike both rattled markets.
Even at the weekend, when Bitcoin climbed to $80,000, there was a dip traced to Houthi strikes on Riyadh, which spooked markets before oil, bonds, and equities reopened. Bitcoin recovered by Monday, rising 1.29% as Asian equities advanced and oil slipped on hopes for Iran diplomacy.
Traders now face a packed week. A Trump-Xi summit lands Wednesday, and Iran’s response to Saudi and Chinese pressure remains unresolved. The Fed has also signaled at least one more rate move this year.
Higher Price and Lots of Catalysts
Any of the above catalysts could sway sentiment enough to move ETF flows again, especially with the price currently above $80,000.
Bitcoin funds needed a Friday rally just to stay positive last week, leaving little room for another setback.
Whether this week’s inflows can build on that momentum remains the open question.
A fresh geopolitical shock could easily reverse it as BTC pushes toward $82,000.
