For the week of April 17, inflows reached $996 million. The most recent week logged $622 million, while the streak\u2019s weakest showing was its very first \u2014 just $22 million for the week of April 2.<\/p>\n<p>Last week\u2019s numbers told a story of two halves. Monday and Tuesday alone brought in $532 million and $467 million respectively. Then Wednesday slowed sharply to $46 million, before Thursday and Friday swung into outflow territory, nearly erasing what had been a strong start.<\/p>\n<h2>Macro Pressure Kept Traders On Edge<\/h2>\n<p>Reports from Bitunix analysts point to broader market caution ahead of the US April Non-Farm Payrolls report. Consensus estimates called for payroll growth of just 62,000 \u2014 a steep drop from the prior reading of 178,000 \u2014 which reinforced expectations that the labor market was cooling.<\/p>\n<p>An ADP report earlier in the week showing 109,000 jobs added complicated that picture, leaving investors uncertain heading into the data release.<\/p>\n<p>Geopolitical tensions also weighed on sentiment. Reports indicate that the US and Iran exchanged fire near the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/liveblog\/2026\/5\/9\/iran-war-live-tehrans-reply-to-us-deal-expected-amid-clashes-in-hormuz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Strait of Hormuz<\/a>, though both sides were said to be leaving room for negotiations. A partial understanding on maritime issues between the two countries was reportedly reached.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bitcoin<\/a> slipped below $80,000 on Thursday. Analysts flagged heavy liquidity clustering around the $78,000 level, warning that a break below it could set off cascading liquidations. Dense short positioning between $82,000 and $83,000 kept the market caught between two forces.<\/p>\n<p>Ether ETFs Bounce Back After Prior Week\u2019s Losses<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/ethereum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ether<\/a> ETFs also returned to positive ground. For the week ending May 8, they posted a little over $70 million in net inflows after recording $82 million in outflows the week before.<\/p>\n<p>The recovery followed a strong three-week run from April 10 to April 24, which brought in a combined $618 million, with the week of April 17 alone accounting for $276 million.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin\u2019s exchange-traded funds closed last week on a rough note \u2014 outflows hit $277 million on Thursday, followed by another $145 million on Friday.
