Bitcoin’s 2025 Rally: ETF Flows, Macro Drivers, and Momentum Signals

Article OKX Learn

Summary

The document attributes Bitcoin’s reported record-setting rally to several forces: institutional demand through ETFs, expectations of lower interest rates, a weaker U.S. dollar, and declining Treasury yields. It also points to supportive regulation and geopolitical uncertainty as factors that may have increased interest in Bitcoin. These are presented as possible contributors rather than tested causal relationships.

The technical discussion cites RSI, MACD, moving averages, resistance levels, and short liquidations as signs or amplifiers of upward momentum. It reports more than $15 billion in ETF inflows since mid-April 2025 and over $460 million in short liquidations during the surge. The article also notes gains in Ethereum and other altcoins, alongside record mining hash rates and difficulty.

This is a market narrative, not a systematic analysis: it provides no underlying data series, methodology, or evidence for separating these drivers’ effects. Its bullish interpretation should be weighed against its acknowledgement that crypto markets remain volatile.
