U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded their first five-day inflow streak of 2026, attracting roughly $767.32 million this week.
The funds posted $180.33 million in net inflows on Friday, extending the run of positive flows that started earlier in the week. The strongest day came on Tuesday, when spot Bitcoin (BTC $70,647) ETFs drew $250.92 million, according to data from SoSoValue.
The last similar streak occurred in late November 2025, when spot Bitcoin ETFs logged five consecutive days of net inflows from Nov. 25 to Dec. 2, bringing in a combined $284.61 million.
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs now hold $91.83 billion in net assets, with cumulative net inflows reaching $56.14 billion. On the latest trading day alone, the funds recorded roughly $4.93 billion in total trading volume.
Ether ETFs post four-day inflow streak
Meanwhile, U.S. spot Ether (ETH $2,079) Ether ETFs logged $26.69 million in net inflows on Friday, extending a four-day streak of positive flows. The run began Tuesday with $12.59 million, followed by $57.01 million on Wednesday and a stronger $115.85 million on Thursday, which marked the largest inflow during the period.
Altogether, the four-day stretch has brought around $212.14 million into spot Ether ETFs, reversing the outflows seen earlier in March. Cumulative net inflows into U.S. spot Ether ETFs now stand at $11.79 billion, while total net assets across the funds have reached $12.26 billion, with approximately $1.30 billion traded during the day.
This marks the first sustained inflow streak in 2026 for both spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs after a volatile start to the year that included several sessions of heavy outflows.
Bitcoin trades in a tight range amid Middle East tensions
Rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and volatility in energy markets are weighing on global risk sentiment. Analysts from Bitunix noted that escalating conflict near the Strait of Hormuz and elevated oil prices have increased macroeconomic uncertainty while reducing expectations for aggressive interest-rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. As a result, investors are focusing more on short-term liquidity than long-term risk exposure.
Against this backdrop, Bitcoin remains range-bound. Bitunix analysts say derivatives liquidation heatmaps show a key short-liquidity cluster around $71,300, acting as near-term resistance, with a larger concentration between $72,000 and $73,500.
On the downside, liquidity support sits near $69,000, with deeper long-liquidation levels around $68,800, suggesting Bitcoin could continue consolidating unless a strong macro catalyst triggers a breakout.
