🚨 Bitcoin ETFs are losing liquidity, but long-term investors are holding their ground: what's happening in the market?
The crypto market is storming again. In just one day (Monday), $649 million was "washed" from spot Bitcoin ETFs. This is a continuation of last week's trend, when the outflow amounted to a whopping 1 billion.
Who is leading the panic?
BlackRock (IBIT): minus $448 million per day.
ARK Invest & 21Shares: minus $110 million.
Fidelity: minus $63 million.
Against this background, the price of $BTC fell by 6.7% - from a local maximum of $81,700 last Thursday to current values around $76,680. The Fear and Greed Index fell to 25 ("Extreme Fear").
🔍 Why is the market falling? Analysts identify two main reasons:
1 Geopolitics: The new escalation in the conflict between the US and Iran (especially after Donald Trump's ambiguous posts about the "calm before the storm") forced fund managers to use a "de-risking" strategy and cash out.
2 Macroeconomics and the Fed: Fresh data on US inflation disappointed investors. Expectations of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in June-July have practically multiplied by zero (market forecasts fell to 2-4%). On the contrary, fears are growing about another rate hike this year.
🛡 Why won't Bitcoin fall "to zero"? The Bulls’ Secret Weapon
Despite the bearish sentiment in the short term, there are several powerful factors limiting a serious collapse (limiting downside potential):
Long-Term Holders: Long-term investors continue to accumulate BTC steadily for months, even when some of their coins go into unrealized losses. With their behavior, they create a powerful “safety cushion” that is much larger than the purchase volumes of the same MicroStrategy.
Funding “turned green”: Funding rates have returned to the positive zone after a multi-month negative trend. This means that traders are starting to open long positions again, despite the recent liquidations of $670 million.
