US Spot Bitcoin ETF Outflows Spark Concerns for Bitcoin Price

US Spot Bitcoin ETF Outflows Spark Concerns for Bitcoin Price Bitcoin News
  • BlackRock’s IBIT topped the charts with a colossal amount of outflows.
  • As the price of Bitcoin keeps falling, the bear trap remains in place.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs are still all the rage, even after a year since they were approved. But there’s cause for concern over the outflow that was observed on the final day of this week. On the second day of outflows, BlackRock’s IBIT topped the charts with a colossal amount of outflows.

Farside Investors reports that the US Bitcoin ETF had an outflow at the conclusion of this week. The overall outflow is $149.4 million, with BlackRock’s IBIT leading from the front. Followed by Bitwise’s BITB (at $1.6 million), the IBIT saw outflows of $183.6 million.

While some issuers failed to disclose their numbers, others displayed encouraging sentiment. Some examples of this are GBTC from Grayscale, ARKB from Ark, and FBTC from Fidelity. In the same sequence, their flows were $16.6 million, $5.7 million, and $13.5 million. How much interest there will be in Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the next few days, and whether it will stay up until Donald Trump becomes president, is anybody’s guess.

Bears in Control

Today, the price of Bitcoin was unaffected by the large withdrawals from the US Bitcoin ETF. The flagship cryptocurrency has had mostly positive trading activity during the last 24 hours, with a little decline.

Following its $100,000 milestone, the price may have shown signs of a correction with a 4.03% drop in the last week and a 6.40% drop in the past month. As the price of Bitcoin keeps falling, the bear trap remains in place. After a precipitous decline from a peak of $102,000 to consolidate around $94,000, the price chart shows a strong slump.

The price of bitcoin has changed a lot over the previous several days. Confirmation of an upswing requires testing the asset’s critical resistance levels. The asset is attempting a recovery, but it remains mired in the weak zone.
