Bitcoin bias flipped 21 times to neutral on August 23, 2026
Bitcoin's rally past $80k has been supported by a surge in Wall Street buying, with ETF inflows of $1.92B over five days adding to a $500B crypto market cap gain. At the same time, the price has shown volatility, dipping under $77k after a $500M flush and as heavy short positions were built by Wintermute. These mixed signals reflect both strong institutional demand and ongoing market jitters.
