#美国就业数据不及预期 【ETF Massive Withdrawal: The Real Test for Bitcoin Hasn't Arrived Yet】
Recently, an easily overlooked but powerful event has occurred in the market—ETFs are experiencing massive outflows.
Just look at the numbers to understand.
Since Bitcoin reached its peak last October, the average entry price for ETF positions has been around $86,000. And now? Most of these holdings are sitting at unrealized losses. As a result, over $6 billion of capital has been forcibly withdrawn from the spot market. The net outflow of Bitcoin ETFs has even set a record since their listing.
This is not just about funds moving elsewhere.
Profit-takers are cashing out, while those fearing further declines are fleeing. When these two forces collide, the pressure to sell intensifies.
But there's a crucial detail—over the past two weeks, the pace of ETF outflows has noticeably slowed. This indicates that the most frantic selling wave has been somewhat absorbed by the market.
However, don't get too optimistic.
The real issue is this: Bitcoin's liquidity is already tight, and when ETF funds—large in size but passively following the trend—move, the impact on prices is amplified several times. It's like a crowded subway where suddenly a group of people tries to push out, and the chaos that ensues is easy to imagine.
So, the most important thing to watch next isn't whether a big influencer calls for a rally or a decline, but—
Whether ETF funds will actually reverse course.
They are no longer just a supporting indicator. At this stage, the flow of ETF capital essentially determines the strength of market volatility. Understanding its movements allows you to anticipate the market's direction ahead of others.
