Bitcoin traded near $76,712 on August 21 after breaking above a weekly fair value gap around $74,092, supported by $606.29M of Bitcoin ETF inflows on August 20 (the largest single-day inflow since May 1) and roughly $4 billion in short-seller liquidations over four days. The technical breakout and ETF demand signal bullish momentum for crypto price and adoption, but markets face short-term liquidity risk and potential volatility ahead of President Trump’s Friday speech as remaining bids are absorbed.
