The crypto market turned bearish yet again over the weekend with the largest cryptocurrency showing significant price dips. Bitcoin’s price dip has rendered uncertainty in the market with altcoins showing volatility and turning bearish. As prices have raised a tumult there has been a lull in activity within the crypto sector. 

Bitcoin began its downward movement on August 30 as prices struggled to stay at $60K. While investors held out expectations for bullish turns, BTC failed to factor in the positive momentum. Subsequently, on September 1, it traded at $58K levels and recorded an additional 1.30% price decline in the last 24 hours.

Zooming out, over the past week, the crypto asset has recorded a 9.71% decline in prices. The token, 7 days ago, having witnessed a bullish momentum traded at a high of $64,001. Following this, as bearish movements took over, prices slid to current levels. 

Parallely, the US spot Bitcoin ETFs have also shown considerable outflows in both weekly and daily investor activity. According to Sosovalue data, the spot BTC ETFs recorded daily net outflows of $175.67 million as of August 30.
