Bitcoin enters the Aug. 26 8:30 a.m. ET release window after seven consecutive U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF sessions with net inflows totaling $2.5697 billion from Aug. 17 through Aug. 25. The streak faces a concentrated macro test as the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis publishes July Personal Income and Outlays, including the PCE inflation indexes (the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge), and its second estimate of second-quarter GDP, while the U.S. Census Bureau releases July advance durable-goods orders. BTC was near $78,508, down about 2% in 24 hours but up roughly 22.8% over seven days. The Cleveland Fed’s Aug. 25 nowcast projected July headline PCE inflation at 0.15% month over month and 3.65% year over year, with core PCE at 0.25% monthly and 3.29% annually. The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.64%, overnight quotes were near 4.65%, and DXY was around 99.00. BlackRock’s IBIT generated $284.4 million of the $314.3 million Aug. 25 ETF total, or about 90.5%, showing that the aggregate streak is concentrated rather than uniform across funds. Hotter inflation or stronger growth alongside higher yields and a firmer dollar could test whether ETF demand is absorbing macro pressure; a sharp Bitcoin decline would indicate support rather than immunity. The first verified move across Bitcoin, yields and the dollar remains the key event to watch.
