Bitcoin Suffers Worst Week Since 2024 as ETF Outflows Hit Record Pace

Bitcoin Suffers Worst Week Since 2024 as ETF Outflows Hit Record Pace

Bitcoin spot ETFs shed $1.72 billion in the week of June 1–5, extending net redemptions to four consecutive weeks at a 30-day average of -2,450 BTC per day — the fastest sustained outflow pace since launch. BRN's analysis finds the drawdown reflects a structural shift in institutional demand rather than a single-event shock, with $5.7 billion in long liquidations, $1.3 billion per day in realized losses, and CEX spot volume at its lowest level since October 2023 complicating near-term recovery.

Bitcoin’s Rally Faces High-Stakes Test as ETF Flows Surge, War Risk Mounts

From Halvings to Liquidity: Rethinking Bitcoin Timing in an Institutional Market

From Halvings to Liquidity: Rethinking Bitcoin Timing in an Institutional Market

Bitcoin is no longer behaving like a reflexive, retail-driven cycle asset anchored to its four-year halving rhythm. Recent data shows a structural shift: ETF flows have oscillated between inflows and outflows week-to-week, derivatives positioning remains dominant with persistent negative funding, and macro variables such as energy prices, interestrates, and geopolitical risk are now primary drivers of price action.

Bitcoin Increasingly Likely to Flip in Recent Inverse Correlation with Gold

Bitcoin Increasingly Likely to Flip in Recent Inverse Correlation with Gold

  • BTCUSD’s recent inverse correlation with Gold (on a weekly chart) is at the lowest level of its 5 year range, suggesting any deeper healthy consolidation in Gold this week could initially act as a drag on BTCUSD but by May would have less impact.• US Treasuries remain vulnerable as despite bouncing most of this past week, arejust above a major uptrend/triangle support line that began Oct 2023, which ifbreached in coming months, would complete a 1.5 year plus Bear Flagconsolidation and suggest elevated risk to the US financial system.

Bitcoin Wed-Sat Bounce Increasingly Fatigued

Bitcoin Wed-Sat Bounce Increasingly Fatigued

  • BTCUSD’s Wed-Sat bounce is increasingly at risk of further unwinding in the next few weeks with continued fragility in the US Dollar.• Counterintuitively for some, Bitcoin does not always correlate negatively with the US Dollar, where if the US Dollar ends a major bull market going back to September 2011, it could further heighten fears for risk off selling where even Bitcoin sells off strongly. The big question is when Bitcoin will step up to being a store of value.

Bitcoin Firms as US Dollar Further Weakens

BTCUSD is catching its breath after bouncing from last Wednesday’s low. Bitcoin will be viewed increasingly as a safe haven with each major strong selloff in US Treasuries and the US Dollar.
