Compare that with the first week of February, when bitcoin suffered a similar crash to $60,000. Back then, outflows were just $318 million, but the total weekly volume was $46.15 billion in a clear sign of panic and capitulation, reflecting a fiercely contested market with active participation from both bulls and bears.
That wasn’t the case last week, when outflows accelerated amid subdued trading volume. The combination suggests a steady exodus rather than a shock-driven capitulation that typically marks local bottoms.
As such, the sustainability of bitcoin’s bounce is questionable. A dramatic resurgence in ETF demand might be needed to put the price on a convincing upward trajectory.
That probability appears low, as looming initial stock sales from SpaceX and Anthropic, two of the largest IPOs in history, could keep sucking liquidity out of broader markets, including crypto.
