Bitcoin Gains Sustain as Spot ETF Flows Turn Positive with $159.5M Inflow

Key Facts

1Bitcoin price recovered to $77.4K supported by the Fed decision and reduced pressure from long liquidations.
2Spot ETFs experienced significant outflows totaling $746 million.

In a move reflecting digital asset resilience against volatile capital flows, Bitcoin price recovered to reach the $77.4K level. According to reports, this rebound was supported by the Federal Reserve's policy decisions under Chair Kevin Warsh and a reduction in pressure from long liquidations, which helped stabilize the price despite previous technical challenges.

Reversing the previous trend of $746 million in outflows, latest data shows a positive shift in institutional sentiment. Spot ETFs recorded net inflows totaling $159.5 million, ending a streak of significant capital exits and bolstering spot market demand alongside healthier leverage levels that have reduced overall volatility risks.

Based on available data as of September 18, 2026, market participants are focusing on the sustainability of these inflows to support current price levels. Traders continue to weigh the impact of fiscal policies from the Trump administration and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on investor sentiment toward high-risk digital assets.
