Bitcoin ETFs Pulled In Near $1 Billion Last Week, So Why Is BTC Stuck Below $80,000?

Bitcoin ETFs attracted nearly $1 billion in inflows last week, signaling continued institutional demand for spot exposure. However, BTC has stayed below $80,000 because those ETF purchases were largely offset by sell-side pressure—profit-taking and existing-holder/OTC selling—and by technical resistance and derivatives positioning. The implication is ETFs create a structural floor and steady demand but are not sufficient alone to force an immediate breakout; a sustained move above $80k will require larger net-new capital or a reduction in available sell-side supply, so monitor net ETF flows, exchange reserves, and derivatives exposure.
