Recent Performance Overview
Bitcoin has experienced significant volatility and growth during key trading periods. Notable rallies occurred from August to December 2024 and April to July 2025, showcasing the asset’s capacity for substantial price increases in response to inflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
First Rally: August to December 2024
During this period, Bitcoin’s price surged by 96%, climbing from approximately $54,100 to around $106,100. The daily inflows during this time averaged $202 million, with remarkable activity including:
- 16 days with inflows of $500 million or more
- 3 days exceeding $1 billion in inflows
Second Rally: April to July 2025

Aggregate Data Analysis

- 6 days with inflows exceeding $1 billion
Current Performance Trends
Since the beginning of July 2023, Bitcoin has gained 39%, moving from roughly $60,000 to about $83,500. However, the pace of inflows has slowed compared to previous rallies. Key observations include:
- The average daily inflow is around $86 million, significantly lower than the figures recorded during prior surges.
- There have been only 7 days of inflows above $500 million in this recent period, a stark contrast to the frequency during the earlier rallies.
- No days have seen inflows exceeding $1 billion, indicating a more tempered demand.
Conclusion and Future Considerations
Looking ahead, a resurgence in Bitcoin’s price may depend significantly on the consistency of inflows. Although past performance illustrates the correlation between ETF inflows and price hikes, it is essential to recognize that historical trends do not guarantee future outcomes. Market dynamics, including demand stemming from futures and direct token purchases, could also influence price movements moving forward.
