Bitcoin’s price is struggling to hold above $100,000, marking one of its weakest phases in recent months. BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs), once considered bullish catalysts, now appear to be amplifying market pressure.
The recent data show that ETF outflows are intensifying Bitcoin’s decline, shaking investor confidence, and presenting a potential bearish phase ahead.
Bitcoin May Struggle To Hold Investors’ Conviction
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have reported one of the steepest weekly outflows since their launch. Over the past seven days, approximately $2 billion worth of Bitcoin has exited these funds. This surge in withdrawals highlights how broader macroeconomic uncertainty is weighing on institutional sentiment, particularly amid weakening risk appetite and rising Treasury yields.
The continued outflows suggest that investors are opting to de-risk rather than accumulate exposure. If this pattern persists, the sell-side liquidity pressure could accelerate, reinforcing the downward momentum.

On-chain metrics reveal that Bitcoin’s supply in profit has slipped to around 71% at the $100,000 level. This positions the market near the lower end of the 70%–90% equilibrium range typically seen during mid-cycle slowdowns. At this stage, markets often consolidate before a recovery, but the risk of further decline remains high if new demand fails to emerge.
If a larger portion of the supply moves into loss, the probability of capitulation increases. This could transform the current correction into a deeper bearish phase similar to previous market cycles. For a sustainable rebound, Bitcoin must attract renewed inflows and maintain healthy exchange balance levels in the coming weeks.
BTC Price Is Fighting A Crash
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at $101,274, hovering just above the $100,000 psychological support. A breach below this level could trigger panic among retail traders.
If ETF outflows and bearish sentiment persist, Bitcoin could fall below $100,000 and test the $98,000 support. This decline could extend further, sending the crypto king towards $95,000 or lower.
However, should low prices attract fresh capital inflows, BTC may rebound toward $105,000 and aim for $110,000. Reclaiming this resistance would signal renewed market strength and invalidate the prevailing bearish outlook.
