Key Insights
- The US Spot Bitcoin ETF outflow came in at $88 million this week, led by BlackRock’s IBIT.
- Analyst said that BTC USD price may slip to $80,000 if it falls below $87,000.
- The Bitcoin miners have booked profits as BTC price recovered to $94,000 earlier this week.
The US Spot Bitcoin ETF has once again caught the eyes of traders with its latest inflow on December 5, suggesting renewed investor confidence.
However, despite the influx on Friday, the weekly fund flow into the investment instrument was negative.
This also came as BTC price recorded a slump to $84,000 this week, after recovering to $94,000. This volatile scenario has spooked traders, with many evaluating the potential reason behind the dip in BTC USD price.
Although the negative fund flow into the US Spot Bitcoin ETF could be one of the factors, the outflow amount is not that significant.
However, the continued selling from BlackRock’s IBIT might have fueled concerns among traders.
In addition, the latest reports showed that the Bitcoin miners are also booking profits as BTC USD price recovered earlier this week.
This might have also triggered the selling pressure in the market, forcing Bitcoin price to stay in the red.
Bitcoin ETF Outflow Spooks Trader, Here’s All
The surge of BTC USD price to $126k in early October has boosted the broader market sentiment, with many anticipating a continuing rally to at least $200k by year’s end.
However, the crash from October 10, triggered by Trump’s tariff woes, has sparked intense debate over the future potential of the asset.
Amid this, it appears that the institutions are also shifting focus from Bitcoin to the altcoin segment. For context, a flurry of altcoin ETFs received greenlight from the US regulators, and have continued to witness significant inflow from their launch.
On the other hand, Farside Investors’ data hinted that the sentiment might be fading for the flagship crypto.
The US Spot Bitcoin ETF has recorded an outflow of $87.7 million this week, despite recording inflows for three days out of the five sessions.
On December 5, the investment instrument recorded an inflow of $54.8 million, but Ark Invest’s ARKB provided the biggest boost with $42.8 million influx.
However, BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) has recorded outflows of $113 million and $32.5 million in the past two sessions, respectively.
This has sparked discussions over its potential impact on BTC USD price. In addition, many experts have warned of a continuing decline, which has sparked discussions over Bitcoin’s price position by 2025 end.
Analyst Predicts BTC Price to $79k As Bitcoin Miners Book Profits
Amid the ongoing outflow from the US Spot Bitcoin ETF, the experts have shared key insights on the future potential of the flagship asset.
In a recent X post, analyst Michael van de Poppe said that BTC USD price must reclaim the $92,000 mark to continue its rally ahead.
On the other hand, the expert has highlighted the $88,000 as a key level to watch for the asset. At the time of writing, Bitcoin price was down around 2% and exchanged hands at $89,600.
Meanwhile, van de Poppe has also shared a BTC price analysis chart, which suggests that $87,000 marks the last major support for Bitcoin.
As per the chart, failing to hold the $87,000 could trigger a dump to $80,000 or even lower.
Amid this, analyst Ali Martinez said that the recovery to $94,000 earlier this week has allowed Bitcoin miners to book profits.
According to his data, the BTC miners have cashed out $4.3 million in profits after the recent BTC USD price recovery.
Considering all these aspects, the investors are keeping close track of the Bitcoin ETF fund flows.
Besides, the market participants are also monitoring if the crypto can hold on to the $87,000 support to avoid a further crash in the near future.
