The spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) in the United States have recorded their first net outflow day in the past seven days. This negative single-day performance ended what was another impressive weekly outing for the crypto investment products. Bitcoin ETFs Shine While Ethereum ETFs Continue To Struggle After a strong performance throughout the month of October, the US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs didn’t register a perfect start to November. According to data from SoSoValue, the BTC exchange-traded funds posted a net outflow of $54.9 million on Friday, November 1. Breaking down the data, Fidelity’s FBTC surprisingly accounted for almost half ($25.64 million) of the outflow recorded on Friday. This figure was followed closely by Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB’s $24.13 million, the second consecutive outflow day for the fund.

Other funds that recorded an outflow on Friday included Bitwise’s BITB, VanEck’s HODL, and Valkyrie’s BRRR, with outflows of $5.64 million, $5.86 million, and $1.66 million, respectively. Interestingly, BlackRock’s exchange-traded fund IBIT didn’t see any inflow or outflow on Friday. Prior to this zero-inflow day, the trillion-dollar asset manager’s fund had seen capital influx for the last 14 consecutive days. In fact, IBIT posted its highest inflow day in the past week, with an influx of $872 million on Wednesday, October 30. While the Bitcoin ETFs posted outflows to end the previous week, the negative single-day action barely made an impact on the weekly performance. According to data from SoSoValue, the US BTC funds registered a $2.22 billion cumulative weekly inflow in the past week, the highest value since March. While the Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have been producing remarkable performance in recent days, their Ethereum counterparts have not exactly impressed. After witnessing an almost $11 million outflow on Friday, the weekly capital influx was slashed to approximately $13 million for the spot Ethereum ETFs. Bitcoin Price Overview Investors will be hoping that the Bitcoin ETFs will resume inflows when trading opens on Monday, considering its recent positive impact on price. The price of BTC almost touched its all-time high of $73,737 on Tuesday and Wednesday when the ETFs recorded their highest inflows in more than five months.

As of this writing, the price of BTC sits just above $68,000, reflecting a 2% dip in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the premier cryptocurrency is up by more than 3% in the last seven days. Featured image created by Dall.e, chart from TradingView
The price of Bitcoin recorded significant leaps in the past month rising by 14.74% according to data from CoinMarketCap. During this price rally, the premier cryptocurrency came close to establishing a new market all-time high, reaching a local peak of $73,149 on October 29. Interestingly, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has stated a certain condition needed to sustain this price gain. Related Reading: Tracking Bitcoin’s Profit Cycles: Could A New Market High Be Near? Low Stablecoin Exchange Reserve Provides Need For Bitcoin ETFs In a series of X posts on November 1, Ki Young Ju stated that stablecoins currently provide an insufficient amount of liquidity to sustain the present buying pressure on Bitcoin. This observation is particularly important as traders commonly rely on stablecoins to acquire volatile assets such as Bitcoin, due to their fixed dollar value. Therefore, a higher stablecoin exchange reserve translates into significant potential for an impending price gain via wide-scale purchase. However, According to Young Ju, crypto exchanges currently hold only 21% of the total stablecoin market i.e. $34 billion of $166 billion, as most of these tokens are currently being used for storage or remittances. This development represents a slow rise in the stablecoin exchange reserve of $30 billion recorded in September 2021 during the last bull run, despite a 33% growth in total stablecoin shares in the same period. Currently, the Bitcoin-to-stablecoin reserve ratio is 6.05, similar to the value seen at the last ATH. Therefore, in order to maintain BTC’s present upward trajectory, Ki Young Ju postulates that the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, alongside Coinbase USD reserves, have to provide much-needed market liquidity. Notably, the Spot Bitcoin ETFs can be said to be behind Bitcoin’s current rally considering their impressive inflows record of over $5 billion in the past three weeks. Of this figure, BlackRock’s IBIT has led the market recording investments of $4.44 billion in this timeframe. Ki Young Ju states that it is important the Bitcoin ETFs maintain this momentum as a breakdown in pace will reduce buying pressure, especially from brokerage firms such as Coinbase Prime, which may result in Bitcoin falling back into consolidation.

Bitcoin Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $69,608 reflecting a 1.32% loss in the last 24 hours. However, the asset’s trading volume is up by 25.61% and is valued at $51.56 billion. For the premier cryptocurrency, a return to above $73,000 remains much on the card, especially with the potential of sustained ETF flows and the upcoming US elections. If pro-crypto Donald Trump secures a victory on the ballot, Bitcoin should definitely establish a new all-time high with expectations of reaching $90,000-$100,000 at the end of 2024.

Bitcoin is stretching gains, looking at price action in the past few trading days. At spot rates, buyers are “hungry” and aiming not only to confirm the rally of the past two days but also to close above March 2024 highs of around $74,000. Bitcoin “Golden Cross” Forms The optimism has been confirmed on-chain. On […]
Bitcoin is marching higher, easing past $70,000 and $72,000 in the past two days, sparking a wave of demand. Although prices are moving within a tight range at spot rates, the uptrend remains. While there are pockets of weakness, at least seen earlier today, candlestick formation in the daily and weekly charts point to strength. Is Bitcoin Preparing For A 6X Surge To $462,000? In a post on X, one analyst thinks Bitcoin will not only break above its all-time high at $74,000 but can easily 6X to over $462,000 in the coming sessions. To support this outlook, the analyst said the coin is breaking out above key resistance levels, and Fibonacci extension levels mirror this shift in trend after the Q3 2024 plunge. Related Reading: Bitcoin Needs Daily Close Above $76,000 To Confirm True Breakout: Analyst Based on the analyst’s assessment, historical price action shows that BTC peaks between the 1.618 and 2.272 Fibonacci extension levels. Technical analysts use this tool to project how fast prices will rally or drop based on a given range. If history guides and the Fibonacci extension levels remain valid, applying the same pattern to the current cycle could easily see Bitcoin soar to between $174,000 and $462,000. These two levels mark the extension levels’ lower and upper limits that define past cycles’ peak zone. As bullish as this forecast is, it should be known that the range anchoring any Fibonacci extension is subjective. For this reason, it will change depending on the analyst, meaning potential peaks will shift accordingly. Despite everything, the consensus is that Bitcoin could break and reach new all-time highs in Q4 2024. Taking to X, another analyst said Bitcoin is already within a bullish breakout formation, easing above a descending channel or bull flag. At the same time, prices are breaking above the resistance of a “cup and handle” pattern. Institutions Buying As BTC Recovers If bulls take over, pushing prices higher, the evolution would confirm gains of Q1 2024. Subsequently, it would mark the resumption of bulls, an encouraging development following the 30% drop from March highs.

According to data from ETF tracking site SoSoValue, the Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a positive netflow on all weekdays except Tuesday, October 22nd, where they experienced $79.09 million in outflows. Meanwhile, the largest inflows came on Friday, October 25, valued at $402.08 million. Of this figure, The dominant BlackRock’s IBIT attracted $291.96 million as its cumulative net inflows moved to $23.99 billion. In a similar fashion, Fidelity’s FBTC emerged in second place recording $56.95 million inflows, while $33.37 million was invested in Ark & 21 Shares’s ARKB. Other ETFs that contributed to Friday’s gain include Bitwise’s BITB, Grayscale’s BTC, and VanEck’s HODL with respective inflows of $2.55 million, $5.92 million, and $11.34 million. Interestingly, these positive net flows recorded on Friday mean the spot Bitcoin ETFs have now recorded over $3 billion in inflows in the last eleven trading days. Commenting on this development, popular crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe shared the general excitement of the crypto community as such massive inflows indicate significant institutional interest in Bitcoin. Van de Poppe said: The #Bitcoin ETF has seen an inflow of more than 3 Billion US Dollars since October 10th. 3 Billion US Dollars. That’s a strong sign that we’re about to see the big breakout for #Bitcoin to $100K. As of now, cumulative total net inflows for the Spot Bitcoin ETFs now stand at $21.93 billion, with their total net assets now valued at $65.25 billion which represents 4.93% of Bitcoin market shares.

Bitcoin is firm at spot rates, looking at the development in the daily chart. Even so, the downtrend remains, and price action remains within a bearish breakout formation. This outlook follows the dump on September 7 that saw the world’s most valuable coin plunge, approaching the all-important round number, $50,000. Bitcoin Leveraged Positions Building Up Technically, the downtrend remains, especially if bulls can’t unwind the losses of September 7. From an effort-versus-result perspective, the trend set in motion by September 7 will shape the short-term, possibly accelerating the fall below August lows. Related Reading: FET Teeters At Trendline: Will A Breakout Fuel A Run To $1.86? Amid this development, one on-chain analyst notes that there has been a massive accumulation of leveraged positions from March 2024. Though it remains uncertain which direction prices will move, the current state of affairs means sellers have the upper hand. If bulls take over, this would be a massive sentiment boost for BTC bulls, who have had to contend with sharp losses over the past three months. Regardless of the direction, this build-up in leverage position precedes a period of heightened volatility in the coming days. While Bitcoin trends lower, sentiment has taken a hit, explaining the shrinking trading volume over the past two weeks. Since late August, BTC has fallen from around $66,000, losing nearly 20% by last week’s lows. At the same time, volatility is comparatively low and not unlike the state of affairs when BTC turned the corner, sharply expanding from late February before printing fresh all-time highs in mid-March 2024. Average Funding Rate Is Bullish, Will This Change? Interestingly, despite the lower lows, trading data shows that the average funding rate across derivatives exchanges has remained bullish for over a year. This development could be due to the shift in price action that saw the world’s most valuable coin turn the corner, rising from late Q3 2023. The recovery saw BTC shake off weakness and explode to above $70,000 after losses in 2022 that took the coin to as low as $15,800. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rainbow Chart Forecasts An End To Bearish Headwinds With $60,000+ Target For bulls to dominate in the derivatives market, prices must recover steadily. A break above $66,000 and July highs would likely spur demand, lifting the coin above the multi-month resistance at $72,000. Nonetheless, for this to happen, there must be inflows to spot Bitcoin ETFs. Falling prices have accelerated outflows from this product, meaning institutions are playing safe. So far, SosoValue shows outflows of over $169 million for spot Bitcoin ETF issuers in the United States. Feature image from DALLE, chart from Trading View
Looking at the formation in the daily chart, Bitcoin bulls are struggling for momentum.

Bitcoin buyers might be upbeat after the uptick on August 8. While traders are waiting for a conclusive close above $63,000, confirming bulls of the second half of last week, on-chain data points to risk and traders staying on the sidelines. Traders Cautious: Will The Bitcoin Consolidation Continue? Taking to X, one on-chain analyst said. However, traders are bullish and expecting immediate price expansion; key metrics show that most are more cautious, meaning the uptrend might be delayed. Related Reading: Optimism Suffers 21% Loss – Will On-Chain Activity Regain Investor Trust? One key indicator, the Bitcoin Estimated Leverage Ratio (ELR), a dynamic ratio between the Bitcoin open interest in futures exchanges and the Bitcoin exchange reserves across leading platforms like Binance and Exchange, has been decreasing, recently falling by 1.5%. Usually, whenever the Bitcoin ELR falls, traders are more confident, meaning traders are more risk-on and unwilling to gain more exposure via leveraged positions. While open interest and ELR are falling, the analyst notes that funding rates across leveraged futures platforms remain neutral. This shows that the broader market is balanced. Most importantly, active traders are cautious, adopting a wait-and-see approach, and are mainly hesitant. This state of affairs, the analyst said, could persist until the end of the month as traders wait for clear signals before diving in. Miner Reserve Falling, USDT And USDC Inflow Spikes: Will BTC Rise? The continuous drop in the Bitcoin Miner Reserve is added to this current state of affairs. The decrease comes when miners have been actively selling after the Halving event on April 20. Related Reading: Toncoin Rally Thwarted As TON Slips To $6, Can Bulls Prevent A Bearish Breakdown? As revenue fell due to the halving of miner rewards, weak miners sold to stay afloat. Bitcoin prices tanked by nearly 20% throughout June amid a wave of miner liquidation. It remains to be seen whether prices will bounce higher. However, as long as miners hold fewer coins, supply constraints exist. This development may increase prices if institutions demand more coins via spot Bitcoin ETFs. As prices flatline, there is hope. Over the past few weeks, there have been massive inflows of stablecoins across leading exchanges, averaging $53 billion per day. Demand could be reinvigorated as more USDT and USDC flow into Binance and other competitors. Subsequently, this may spark another wave of higher highs above crucial resistance levels in the coming days and weeks. Feature image from DALLE, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin’s price surged to a new one-month high near $67,000 as a variety of bullish factors converged to push cryptocurrencies higher.
Bitcoin is in an uptrend, but events in the daily chart show pockets of weakness. Though BTC is stagnant, analysts are upbeat, expecting prices to rise in the days to come. Is Bitcoin Ready To Rip Higher: Analyst Says Bulls Are Eyeing $140,000 Taking to X, one analyst has picked out an unusual development: In the weekly chart, the Bitcoin Bollinger Bands (BB) is currently at their tightest level in history. Besides April 2016 and July 2023 events, the Bitcoin BB is tightening, forming a squeeze. Related Reading: Solana Price Could Eclipse $1,400 As Massive Bull Flag Emerges Since BB is a technical indicator used to gauge underlying volatility, what’s happening now should draw traders’ attention. Specifically, prices tend to explode within the next few sessions whenever BB forms a squeeze, compressing to what is now. However, traders should also know that the direction of breakout can be in either direction. In the past, Bitcoin prices rose higher. To illustrate, after the BB squeeze in July, the coin went on to fly in the coming months, breaking $70,000 by March before the coin rose to $73,800. If the past guides, and indeed, prices explode at the end of this squeeze, the analyst predicts Bitcoin flying to $140,000 and even $190,000 in the next few months. The expansion would be a welcomed boost for bulls, considering that prices are now in what the analyst described as a “boring zone.” Any uptick above $73,800 and all-time highs, pushing BTC to six-digit levels, would automatically be in the “banana zone.” Spot BTC ETF Issuers On A Buying Spree, Donald Trump’s Endorsement The confidence that Bitcoin will rip higher is also due to fundamental factors. Despite the current price lull after the refreshing surge earlier this week, spot Bitcoin ETF issuers are buying. BlackRock is spearheading this buying spree. Records show that the asset manager bought over $1 billion of BTC in July. On July 18, one observer noted that they bought 18,600 BTC, or $107 million worth of the coin, on behalf of their clients. According to SosoValue, as of July 19, BlackRock’s IBIT manages over $20 billion worth of BTC. Related Reading: Mass Exodus?

While this possibility is debatable for now, it highlights the growing interest from policymakers, which is a massive boost for crypto. Feature image from DALLE, chart from TradingView
Bitcoin defies gravity and is surprisingly resilient against a wave of selling pressure from the Mt. Gox distribution.

So far, Bitcoin remains in an uptrend, and upbeat traders are looking at […]
Bitcoin price displayed surprising strength after various market participants absorbed over 48,000 BTC that the German government sold.
Bitcoin is moving sideways at press time, absorbing the wave of selling over the last week. Even though there are some optimists, the candlestick arrangement in the daily chart points to weakness. This preview, at least from a technical angle, remains as long as prices trend below the round number of $60,000 and the liquidation level at around $66,000. Binance Bought The Bitcoin Dip Amid the recovery, one analyst, pointing to interesting on-chain data, observed that when prices fell last week, some unnamed exchanges were loading up the dip. It is now emerging that Binance, the world’s largest exchange by client count, was actively accumulating. CryptoQuant data shows that Binance increased its reserves by 41,000 BTC over the last bear run when prices corrected from $72,000. Buying on dips is strategic, considering the exchange’s obligation, especially for users seeking to convert other tokens for BTC on the fly instantaneously. Related Reading: XRP Set To Skyrocket 60,000% On Tightest Bollinger Bands Ever: Analyst During this time, Ki Young Ju also noted that “permanent holders,” entities who tend to HODL and not move coins, have been accumulating. These addresses, excluding spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers, exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, or miners, added 85,000 BTC in the last month. During this time, spot Bitcoin ETF issuers decreased their holding by 16,000 BTC. While some entities were scrambling for the exits, others saw this as an opportunity to double down, loading on every retracement. Their involvement has helped stabilize prices, improving sentiment shredded after last week’s dump to as low as $53,500. German Government Offloading More BTC Even as the “diamond hands” buy the dip, the German government is not stopping; looking at Arkham Intelligence data. Today, on July 11, they moved another 3,250 BTC, on top of the 5,627 sent earlier, to multiple market makers and exchanges, including Bitstamp. Their decision to sell is heaping more pressure on the coin, slowing down the uptrend. Even amid sustained outflows from the German government, a Coingecko survey shows that most respondents, especially investors, are upbeat. Related Reading: Filecoin Boom Incoming? Market Optimism Fuels Crypto’s Next Breakout Star Meanwhile, traders and speculators have mixed sentiments. While 39% of traders are upbeat, expecting prices to recover, another 33.5% of those surveyed are bearish.

Bitcoin whales have become accumulators again, but analysts say BTC is still at risk of another sharp correction.
Investors have piled into Bitcoin ETFs over the last three trading days, but it wasn’t enough to offset Germany’s BTC selling spree.
Based on the formation in the daily chart, Bitcoin is at a critical point, price-wise. As the battle between bulls and bears progresses, it is clear that sellers have the upper hand for now despite the recent price stability. BTC Prices At A Crucial Price Level: Will Bulls Take Over? As BTC bulls attempt to reverse losses posted last week, one analyst, citing technical candlestick formation and the reaction at the 200-day moving average, thinks how prices react for now will be consequential in the coming days. In a post on X, the analyst noted that the coin dipped and closed below the 200-day moving average following last week’s losses. This formation was crucial. Over the months, this dynamic line had acted as critical support, anchoring buyers throughout the last bull cycle from October through mid-March. The rally was sustained, and though the level was not retested until late June, when prices were weak across the board, the break last week was decisive. Related Reading: If History Repeats, Bitcoin Price Could Crash 33% Again: Here’s Why While bearish, the analyst acknowledged that last week’s break was clear. However, as it is, there is hope for bears because there has been no confirming bear bar. For this to happen, prices must break below $56,500 and sink below $53,500, marking last week’s low. When this happens, it will be official that bears are back, and sellers will likely continue pushing lower in a bear trend continuation formation. If Bitcoin is to turn around, it is imperative that prices reject last week’s losses and break higher, closing above the 200-day moving average. This recovery will be the bullish signal that may mark the start of a leg up, resuming the uptrend of Q1 2024. For now, traders are watching the psychological line at $60,000 and, ideally, the close above $66,000. In that event, Bitcoin might find the momentum to retest $72,000–an important liquidation level. Eyes On Spot Bitcoin ETF Inflows Even amid the optimism, traders are closely watching inflows to spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), especially in light of the sustained dump by the German government. The sell-off has been heaping more pressure on BTC, capping gains, and deflating the upside momentum. If sellers are persistent and mirror recent trends, there could be more blood, and spot Bitcoin ETF issuers might register outflows. Related Reading: Can Solana Hit $160? SOL’s Resilience Sparks Rally Optimism In the past few weeks, especially in June, when prices fell, BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, and other top issuers posted outflows, accelerating the downtrend.

Bitcoin is struggling to shake off weakness, judging by its performance in the last few trading days. After the dump on June 24, the overall sentiment has been bearish, and sellers will likely double down, wiping gains posted in the last two days. As things stand, the sale of 4,000 BTC by the United States government is a dent for buyers. It comes hours after the German government dumped thousands of BTC early this week, forcing prices to lower. Bitcoin Trending At Oversold Territory One analyst is upbeat even amid this sense of unease across the crypto and Bitcoin markets. Citing formation in the RSI indicator, a tool for gauging momentum, the analyst is convinced prices could recover strongly going forward. Bitcoin is at its lowest overbought level in over 300 days at spot rates. This formation echoes a similar situation in 2023 when prices were stuck below $30,000. Once BTC swung to the oversold territory, prices rebounded strongly, breaking above $50,000 and reaching an all-time high in the coming months through March 2024. Related Reading: Solana Trading Plunges 93% In 24 Hours: Where Did The $100 Billion Go? Thus far, Bitcoin finds itself in the oversold territory after consolidating for roughly three months after peaking in March 2024. Then prices shot to as high as $73,800 before dumping sharply, reaching $56,500 by May 2024. Though prices have recovered, finding another ceiling at $72,000, the path of least resistance in the short term is bearish. Bitcoin is testing its horizontal range’s lower boundary for the fifth time since March. For bulls to take charge, prices must hold above the $56,500 and $60,000 zones for the bullish bias to remain. However, a confirmed breakdown below the range low might see BTC crater dropping to as low as $50,000-$52. Will BTC Bounce Higher? Capital Flow To Spot ETFs Another analyst also expects prices to recover, emphasizing the importance of the bull market support band. Sharing on X, the analyst said this support band has served as a reliable loading zone in the past bull cycle. Related Reading: Cardano (ADA) Faces Further Decline, $0.3389 Support Under Threat Its successful defense in January 2024 offers a positive precedent. With BTC at the same level, the probability of a refreshing bounce is high on the cards, providing a glimmer of hope. Despite the recent price decline and days, if not weeks, of outflows, interest in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is increasing. On June 26, there was $21.5 million into these products. Out of this, Fidelity and Grayscale saw inflows, according to SosoValue data. Feature image from DALLE, chart from TradingView
Bitcoin is under immense selling pressure at spot rates, tracking lower from the all-important resistance level of $66,000.
