Gate News: On March 17, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF experienced its sixth consecutive day of net capital inflows, driving Bitcoin prices higher, with a cumulative increase of over 12%, marking the longest streak of inflows since October 2025.
Data shows that on Monday, Bitcoin ETF net inflows were approximately $199.4 million. Among them, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund led the inflows, attracting about $139.4 million and $64.5 million respectively. Meanwhile, some products saw slight outflows, but overall capital remained in a net inflow pattern.
Since March 9, the total net inflow into Bitcoin ETFs has reached $962.8 million. Supported by these funds, Bitcoin’s price rose from $65,960 to around $74,250, reflecting the direct support from institutional capital returning to the market.
In comparison, a stronger capital inflow cycle occurred between September and October 2025, with nine consecutive days of inflows totaling nearly $6 billion, pushing Bitcoin to a record high above $126,000. Although the current scale is smaller, the trend of sustained inflows is strengthening, indicating improving market sentiment.
This capital rebound occurs amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East and increased volatility in energy markets. On-chain analysis firm Santiment pointed out that expectations of easing tensions between the U.S., Iran, and Israel may have provided emotional support for Bitcoin to break through $74,400, while also boosting market FOMO.
Regarding sentiment indicators, the cryptocurrency fear and greed index has risen to 28, a significant improvement from previous levels, and has broken out of the “extreme fear” zone for the first time since January, reflecting a gradual recovery in investor risk appetite.
Analysts believe that the current Bitcoin rally is mainly driven by ETF capital inflows and improving market sentiment. In the short term, whether capital continues to flow in remains a key variable, while macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical developments could also impact prices.
