Bitcoin delivered its third-best weekly performance of 2025, surging 7.33% to close at $108,386 as it rode on the cease-fire news after a couple of weeks of geopolitical tension in the Middle East.
Bitcoin's weekly journey showed its ability to quickly absorb selling pressure while maintaining structure above earlier support levels. The week began around $100,987 before embarking on a steady climb that saw increasing momentum through each trading session.
The rally pushed Bitcoin $BTC dominance to a yearly high of 65.1% intra-week, reinforcing its position as the preferred digital asset during periods of uncertainty.
The week's momentum rose steadily after the momentary slip into "fear" territory on the Crypto Greed Index toward the end of the preceding week due to the US strikes on Iran. Sentiment quickly stabilised back to neutral at 52 as bulls regained control.
Open Interest climbed 7.5% to $72.68 billion from the previous week, indicating renewed speculative positioning as traders positioned for potential breakouts.
The combination of technical strength and improving sentiment metrics suggested underlying market health despite recent volatility from geopolitical events.
ETF flows in the week more than doubled from the preceding week showing institutional conviction even as Bitcoin approached critical resistance levels. Three days of the last week recorded at least $500 million in ETF inflows, creating one of the most consistent five-day accumulation streaks this year.
