Bitcoin bias flipped 28 times to neutral on August 22, 2026
Bitcoin has posted its best week since 2023, driven by $1.92 billion in ETF inflows over five days and a short squeeze triggered by the U.S. Treasury's $14 billion buyback. The cryptocurrency is also benefiting from demand as investors hedge against concerns about U.S. fiscal credibility amid a weaker dollar. This rally has lifted crypto-related stocks, while the market watches for potential regulatory changes under the Trump administration.
