$517M Bitcoin ETF inflows on August 19 and sustained daily inflows through August 21 suggest institutional buyers are not just chasing the rally but accumulating above previous resistance. This is a bullish signal for continuation.
Technical analysts point to $75K as the new support level established by this week's rally. The next target for institutional positioning is $80K, representing Bitcoin's highest level since late October 2025—some 12% upside from current levels.
