Bitcoinhas led the move with the largestcryptocurrencytrading near $64,100, up 1. 39% on the day, giving it a market value of roughly $1. 28 trillion and a 56. 4% share of the overall market. Ether, the second-largest asset, holds about 9. 49% of total capitalization. The rally traces back to the month’s open, when Federal Reserve commentary liftedbitcoinback above $60,000 on July 1 and set the tone for a steadier tape. Exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows followed the price. U. S. spotbitcoin ETFspulled in$265. 69 millionon July 6, their strongest day of the young month, and a$222 million reboundled by Fidelity’s FBTC had already snapped a 10-day, $2. 73 billion outflow streak in early July. By Friday, the funds had banked a$90. 44 millionsession and sealed their first weekly net inflow since May, a milestone flow-watchers treat as a proxy for returning institutional appetite. Ether products added $18. 43 million the same day, suggesting the re-engagement is not limited tobitcoin. A Recovery With a Long Way to GoEven after the 10-day climb, the market sits far below last autumn’s levels. Bitcoinpeakedaround $126,000in October 2025 before a drawdown of roughly 50%, and June’s slide (which briefly pushedXRPto a yearlylow near $1. 01and squeezed leveraged traders out of the market) left sentiment badly bruised. The $170 billion rebuild recovers only a fraction of the value erased since the peak. Bears note that recoveries of this size have failed before, including a brief bounce in early June that faded within days. What happens over the coming days and weeks will likely hinge on Federal Reserve signals that lifted the market off its July 1 floor as well as the release of U. S. inflationdata. Moreover, any commentary from the Fed will also likely test whether the macro tailwind holds. Closer to home, Monday’s ETF flow data will also show whether institutions follow through on the first green week since May or whether the $170 billion rebound was another head fake in a choppy year. Interesting times ahead.
