Bitcoin settled at $78,626, down $1,148 from yesterday's $79,774, a 1.4% consolidation after a 22% weekly surge.A quiet day. Price range-bound inside its 30-day high after the week's rally, with no institutional moves or macro prints clearing the bar for a classification change. The Fear and Greed Index reached 65, up sharply from a 30-day average of 39, but today's session added no new signal.
Bitcoin consolidated near $78,600 after crossing $80,000 earlier in the week, with the 24-hour move of -1.4% well within normal post-surge digestion.
Spot ETF inflows extended to a six-day streak totaling $2.26 billion, with the August 24 session adding $337.56 million, running at +1.12 standard deviations above the 30-day daily average of $106.4 million.
Futures open interest collapsed during the rally, with crypto-margined Bitcoin futures falling to approximately 12% of the market, a structural positive that distinguishes this advance from leverage-driven moves.
Bitcoin dominance held at 59.2%, consistent with the Decrypt article noting Bitcoin gained roughly 24% this week while the broader crypto market grew by less.
Hashrate at 860 EH/s and fees at 1 sat/vB reflect a secure, low-congestion network; the fixed supply and growing institutional infrastructure remain intact regardless of near-term price oscillations.
