US Bitcoin ETF Outflow BTC Price

Highlights

  • Recent data shows a $146 million net outflow from US Bitcoin spot ETFs, indicating shifting investor sentiment.
  • Major ETFs like Fidelity Wise Origin and ARK 21Shares saw the highest withdrawals.
  • Bitcoin's price decline continues, with near-term bearish trends but potential for long-term gains.

Recent monitoring data from Farside Investors revealed a substantial net outflow of $146 million from the US Bitcoin spot ETF market yesterday. This significant movement indicates a shifting sentiment among investors. The net inflow has been negative for 3 consecutive days.

Also 9 out of the 10 US Bitcoin ETFs, including both BlackRock (IBIT) and Grayscale (GBTC), experienced zero or negative single-day flow. According to data spot on chain, the cumulative total net inflow after 109 trading days dropped to below $15B. In a way the downturn in bitcoin price has seemed to have been attributed to this market dynamic.

Bitcoin Price Trends and Market Implications

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) stands at $65,567.92 today, with a 24-hour trading volume of $36.6 billion. This marks a -0.67% price decline in the last 24 hours and a -3.50% decline over the past 7 days.

With a circulating supply of 20 million BTC, Bitcoin’s market cap is valued at $1.2 trillion. Currently, BTC remains below the 50-day EMA while holding above the 200-day EMA, confirming a bearish near-term but bullish longer-term price trend.

A BTC break above the 50-day EMA could give the bulls a chance to reach the $69,000 resistance level, and a breakout from this level could signal a move toward the $73,808 all-time high. Investors should pay attention to US retail sales figures, FOMC Member chatter, and US BTC-spot ETF market flow trends, as these factors could influence market dynamics.

Bitcoin bulls are navigating a risky crossroads that may lead to a rebound to $70,000 or an extended pullback to $60,000. Annihilating the support around $65,000 would leave BTC defenseless against a strengthening bearish front, highlighting the critical nature of the current price levels.
