Bitcoin pauses at $79,000 after 23% weekly rally as ETF inflows top $3 billion

Bitcoin retreated to $79,000 on Wednesday, taking a pause after a sharp seven-day advance of 23%, according to CoinDesk. The move came as demand linked to exchange-traded funds remained steady and cumulative ETF inflows for August rose above $3 billion. The latest pullback follows a strong weekly gain, leaving bitcoin at the center of market attention as investors track whether ETF demand continues to support the cryptocurrency. No further details on the size or timing of the ETF flows were provided in the source material. The asset’s one-week performance and the continued inflow trend provide the main market signals in the report.
