Bitcoin fell to a 3-month low over the last day, and to add insult to injury, spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) registered a record $1 billion in outflows, resulting in continued downward pressure on the price of the largest digital asset. Earlier today at 10:44 a.m. ET, bitcoin was trading at $87,670, reflecting a 0.77% decline since yesterday and a significant 9.10% drop over the past seven days, according to Coin Market Cap data. By 2:30 in the afternoon, BTC had sunk even lower.

  • 24-Hour Price Range: Bitcoin has fluctuated between $83,365 and $89,351.20, indicating persistent volatility but a slight recovery from its daily low.
  • Trading Volume: The 24-hour trading volume sits at $56.38 billion, marking a steep 31.70% drop from yesterday’s aggressive sell-off. This decline suggests that traders are showing signs of exhaustion following recent market turmoil.
  • Market Capitalization: BTC’s total market cap is currently at $1.73 trillion, mostly flat from yesterday but up marginally by 0.12%.
  • BTC Dominance: Bitcoin dominance has edged lower to 60.98%, down 0.21% in the last 24 hours, as altcoins attempt to recapture lost ground.

  • Futures Market: Total BTC futures open interest has declined by 1.24% to $56.42 billion, reflecting a reduction in leveraged positions as market uncertainty persists.
  • Liquidations: Over the past 24 hours, total liquidations amounted to $151.84 million, with long positions bearing the brunt at $99.28 million, while short liquidations totaled $52.55 million

Yesterday’s record ETF outflows were a key driver of bitcoin’s lackluster price action today. Capital flight hints at a shift in investor sentiment towards bitcoin, although it’s too early to tell how permanent that shift will be. Ether ETFs also recorded a net outflow of $50 million, contributing to the overall bearish sentiment in the crypto space.

Bitcoin’s ability to hold above the $80,000 level will be crucial in the coming days. The recent drop in futures open interest and trading volume suggests that traders are adopting a more cautious stance, waiting for clearer market signals before making big moves.

If BTC manages to reclaim the $90,000 mark, it could signal a short-term relief rally, potentially targeting $92,500 as the next resistance level. However, if selling pressure intensifies and BTC falls below $83,000, further downside could open the door for a retest of the $82,000 to $80,000 support zone.

With ETF outflows still weighing on sentiment and market participants closely watching macroeconomic developments, bitcoin’s price remains in a fragile state. Investors will likely be monitoring trading volume, derivatives positioning, and institutional activity for signs of a potential trend reversal in the days ahead. Just before 3 p.m. (ET) on Wednesday, BTC was exchanging hands for $83,827 per coin.
