Bitcoin’s record-breaking rally to $122,054 has hit a speed bump. For the first time in six weeks, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $199 million in net outflows—a sign that even big players are taking profits after the historic surge.
What’s Driving the Sell-Off?
💰 Profit-Taking: Institutions exiting after BTC smashed $120K resistance
📉 On-Chain Slowdown: Active addresses hit 721,086 (7-day low)
⚠️ Sentiment Shift: ETF flows often lead price action
Key Detail:
BlackRock’s IBIT stayed flat, but ARKB, GBTC, and FBTC led outflows.
Bitcoin Price at a Crossroads
🔹 Current Range: $116,952 (support) – $120,811 (resistance)
🔹 Bear Case: Drop to $114,354 if demand weakens further
🔹 Bull Case: Break past $120,811 to retest ATH
Analyst Take:
“This is normal after a parabolic move—either we consolidate or see a deeper pullback.”
Why This Matters
- ETF flows are the best institutional sentiment gauge
- Retail activity is also cooling (fewer active addresses)
- A hold above $116K could prevent a steeper drop
