Bitcoin trades around $69,576 Thursday after a $517 million Wednesday ETF bid and a close through $67,292. Treasury lifted long-end buybacks to $4 billion. 200-day $71,515 still overhead.
Bitcoin trades around $69,576 Thursday after a daily close through $67,292. Spot bitcoin ETFs printed $517.19 million of creations on Wednesday. The US Treasury lifted long-end liquidity-support buybacks from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. The 200-day EMA at $71,515 is still the cap. That is the forecast setup. Not a target. A condition.
The SoSoValue US spot bitcoin ETF dashboard is the stamp for Wednesday. 19 August net inflow $517.19 million. Cumulative net inflow $52.79 billion. Volume $6.89 billion. Total net assets $84.31 billion, 6.08% of bitcoin’s market cap.
IBIT took $284.74 million. FBTC $62.41 million. BITB $35.60 million. The Mini Trust $19.66 million. GBTC $21.18 million.
Monday 17 August stays on the August daily ETF flow table: $297.6 million. Tuesday 18 August on SoSoValue was $189.30 million, assets $79.30 billion. TFTC’s August running total on that page is $950.7 million across 12 trading days and has no 19 August row. Do not add Wednesday to it. Do not write the week as settled.
Farside’s 19 August row is incomplete, with IBIT and FBTC marked “-”. Do not average it with SoSoValue.
| Session | Net | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 19 Aug | $517.19 million | SoSoValue, IBIT $284.74 million |
| 18 Aug | $189.30 million | SoSoValue |
| 17 Aug | $297.6 million | TFTC August table |
| 10–14 Aug week | $389.71 million outflow | SoSoValue, as CryptoBriefing reprints it |
Assets went from $79.30 billion on Tuesday to $84.31 billion on Wednesday. The 14 August week on our last tape was a $389.71 million outflow with assets $76.61 billion. Assets rebuilt. Flow is what flipped.
The other named pressure is already live: Treasury lifted the 10-year–20-year and 20-year–30-year buyback cap from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation, 9 September through 4 November. That is a size lift for older coupons. It is not a statute that buys bitcoin.
Wednesday’s White House room left bitcoin accumulation as “talked about.” No figure, timetable, or buying agency is on the pool. Do not write a reserve bid into this close.
July minutes confirmed the 9-3 hold. Several participants wanted 25 basis points then. The next statement is 16 September. Setup is the minutes reaction.
CoinGlass data shows bitcoin at $69,492 and futures open interest at $52.28 billion. Futures volume over 24 hours is $112.55 billion. Spot volume is $9.04 billion. Circulating supply on that dashboard is 20.07 million.
The 15 August snap was open interest $48.04 billion. No supply note from Changpeng Zhao after 15 August is on the open wires.
Bitcoin holds well above the mid-July horizontal at $67,292 and the 50-day EMA at $64,745. The 100-day EMA at $66,484 is now underneath the close. Volume on the breakout candle was 3.58 thousand bitcoin. The 20-day EMA at $64,896 sits with the 50-day as the first shelf under the break.
Price is now approaching the 200-day EMA at $71,515, the first labeled overhead that has not been traded. Thursday’s high on this daily is $69,895.
A decisive daily close above the 200-day EMA at $71,515 opens that path. The next labeled print on this drawing after that close is not drawn. Do not invent one.
Momentum is stretched. RSI(14) is 71, in overbought territory. MACD(12, 26, 9) is above its signal, histogram positive. That is buying pressure already through the old cap. It is not a close above the 200-day.
On the downside, first support is the reclaimed horizontal at $67,292. A daily close back through that line is the invalidation. It would say the break failed. A deeper setback would expose the 50-day EMA at $64,745, then the early-July floor at $57,800.
| Level | What it is | |
|---|---|---|
| Resistance | $71,515 | 200-day EMA |
| Resistance | $69,895 | Thursday high on this daily |
| Support | $67,292 | mid-July horizontal, now the break |
| Support | $64,745 | 50-day EMA |
| Invalidation | daily close back through $67,292 | the break fails |
Do not treat $69,576 as fair value. Treat it as the price that is left when Wednesday’s $517.19 million and a Treasury size lift have taken $67,292. If that creation bar is the last print before the week closes red, the kill is a close back through $67,292. If the open week reprints something closer to Wednesday, the path is the 200-day already on this daily.
