Bitcoin ETF Outflows Continue — $500M Pulled Last Week
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw nearly $500 million in outflows last week, signaling institutional caution amid macro uncertainty. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has experienced its longest redemption streak since launching in early 2024, with over $2.7 billion in outflows over the past five weeks.
⚠️ ETF Flow Analysis:
While headline outflows appear concerning, analysts note that most redemptions coincide with shrinking futures and options positions — suggesting institutional traders are closing structured hedges rather than exiting long-term positions. CME futures open interest dropped from $16B to $10.9B since early November.

📊 Bitcoin Technical Analysis

🎯 Short-Term Outlook:
Bitcoin is likely to remain range-bound through the Boxing Day options expiry. A sustained close above $90,000 could signal bullish momentum, while a break below $84,000 opens downside to $75,000. Watch for increased volatility post-December 26. Learn more about crypto technical analysis.
