WARSAW, August 16, 2026, 10:21 CEST — Digital asset markets continue to trade as usual, while U.S. stock exchanges are shut over the weekend.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows of $385.2 million over the past week, while Ether funds recorded losses of just $3.0 million. The 128-to-1 difference underscores Monday’s fund movement as a key indicator for the crypto market.

Bitcoin hovered around $63,011 on Sunday, staying close to a crucial support area for the week. Ether remained steady at about $1,879. Both cryptocurrencies showed little reaction to weaker U.S. inflation indicators.

The distribution of flows is significant. It indicates that institutional selling mainly affected Bitcoin products, rather than being evenly distributed throughout the crypto market. Four out of five Bitcoin ETF sessions saw outflows, while demand for Ether was nearly flat.

Asset	Sunday price	24-hour range	Market value
Bitcoin	$63,011.01	$62,861.87-$63,114.63	$1.265 trillion
Ether	$1,879.17	$1,874.28-$1,884.31	$226.78 billion
Solana	$75.39	$74.99-$75.66	$43.94 billion
XRP	$1.00	$0.999-$1.01	$62.76 billion
Cardano	$0.1772	$0.1758-$0.1794	$6.62 billion

The worldwide cryptocurrency market reached a value of $2.225 trillion. Bitcoin accounted for 56.8% of the market share, and Ether represented 10.2%. Trading ranges over the weekend remained tight.

U.S. spot ETF flow	Bitcoin products	Ether products
Monday, August 10	-$144.6 million	-$14.6 million
Tuesday, August 11	+$7.8 million	-$1.7 million
Wednesday, August 12	-$61.1 million	+$7.4 million
Thursday, August 13	-$131.1 million	+$5.9 million
Friday, August 14	-$56.2 million	$0.0 million
Total for the week	-$385.2 million	-$3.0 million

The figures are based on initial fund data compiled daily. Since inception, total Bitcoin ETF inflows are $51.86 billion. Assets in Ether products reach $11.46 billion, counting seed asset conversions.

Regulatory developments cut off another immediate driver. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission called off its scheduled Friday meeting on crypto rules, pointing to an “unforeseen scheduling issue,” and did not set a new date. Reuters

Bitcoin declined roughly 2.8% over the past week. Ether was down 1.6%, while XRP slipped 2.4% and Cardano dropped 9.8%. Some other major tokens posted gains, leaving the shift narrowly focused rather than widespread.

Delta Exchange analyst Riya Sehgal stated that the “absence of aggressive downside acceleration is equally important.” That caution is set to be tested by a new round of ETF redemptions and upcoming macroeconomic data this week. Economic Times

Week-ahead catalyst	Timing, ET	Why crypto traders care
U.S. ETF flow resumes	Monday session	Indicates if the $385.2 million Bitcoin outflow continues
Import and export prices	Tuesday, 08:30	Signals inflation in traded goods and potential rate impact
Industrial production	Tuesday, 09:15	Provides an update on the soft-landing outlook
Federal Reserve minutes	Wednesday, 14:00	Reveals how strong the consensus is to maintain rates
SEC crypto-rule meeting	Not rescheduled	Keeps the timing of a regulatory driver uncertain

The Fed minutes detail the 9-3 vote in July to keep rates steady at 3.50%-3.75%. Three policymakers backed raising rates by 25 basis points. The division may prompt sharp moves in yields and risk assets.

Mesta founder Sandeep Pyapali described the new data as a “clean dovish signal.” Despite this, Bitcoin did not move higher. He cited ETF outflows as a continuing structural obstacle. Barron’s

Analyst forecasts are concentrated within a narrow interval. Bitcoin starts Sunday trading near the bottom of the widely referenced support range.

Selected analyst recommendation	Asset	Support or watch level	Resistance or risk
Nischal Shetty, WazirX	Bitcoin	$62,400-$63,000 acting as support	$64,000-$65,500 facing resistance
Nischal Shetty, WazirX	Ether	$1,850-$1,870 providing support	$1,900-$1,925 as resistance zone
Harish Vatnani, ZebPay	Bitcoin	$62,000 lower boundary	$66,000 upper boundary
Harish Vatnani, ZebPay	Ether	Buyers stepping in during pullbacks	$1,950-$2,000 as resistance
Sandeep Pyapali, Mesta	Bitcoin	Weaker macroeconomic indicators	Ongoing ETF outflows seen as risk

These are published opinions on the market, not a consensus projection. If prices fall beneath $62,400, the range scenario would be undermined. Holding above $65,500 for an extended period would put it to the test.

Risks: Liquidity tends to be low over the weekend. Additional ETF outflows, rising yields or unexpected geopolitical events may intensify price swings. A sudden change in SEC meeting timing could swiftly shift sentiment.

What is the most important signal for Bitcoin this week?

Monday’s U.S. spot ETF flow is the clearest test. Bitcoin products lost $385.2 million last week, while Ether funds lost only $3.0 million. Continued Bitcoin redemptions would confirm that institutional pressure remains concentrated in the largest cryptocurrency.

Which Bitcoin price levels matter most?

Published analyst guidance places support near $62,400-$63,000 and resistance near $64,000-$65,500. Bitcoin traded around $63,011 on Sunday, placing it near support. The uncertainty is high because weekend liquidity is thinner than weekday trading.

What events could move the crypto market this week?

Tuesday’s U.S. import prices and industrial production come first. Federal Reserve minutes follow Wednesday. Traders will also watch for a new date for the SEC’s cancelled crypto-rule meeting, although none has been announced.
