Bitcoin bias flipped 18 times to neutral on September 5, 2026
Bitcoin's price action is caught between strong institutional demand and macro headwinds: ETF inflows have been substantial, with nearly $900 million added in a day and the largest inflow day since January, but a hot August jobs report has shifted Fed policy expectations toward possible rate hikes, helping drag the price below $80,000 and prompting a broad crypto correction. These opposing forces—record capital inflows versus tighter monetary policy fears—have also triggered significant liquidations, with over $557 million wiped out across global exchanges.
