Is Bitcoin’s Recent ETF Inflow Surge a Setup for a Fall? What Traders Need to Know

Amid rising institutional engagement in Bitcoin, a sharp spike in exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows over the past few days has sparked interest from traders and analysts alike. Earlier today, a noteworthy analysis from the popular trader Skew on social platform X highlighted a potential risk for Bitcoin amidst its current influx of capital. Skew pointed out the phenomenon he dubs the “headline curse,” noting that while the significant inflow of over $500 million into United States spot Bitcoin ETFs signifies growing institutional confidence, it may also foreshadow a looming price correction.

Bitcoin ETF Flow (US$ million) – 2024-07-22 TOTAL NET FLOW: 533.6 (Provisional data) IBIT: 526.7 FBTC: 23.7 BITB: ARKB: 0 BTCO: 13.7 EZBC: 7.9 BRRR: 0 HODL: -38.4 BTCW: 0 GBTC: 0 DEFI: 0 For all the data & disclaimers visit:https://t.co/4ISlrCgZdk — Farside Investors (@FarsideUK) July 23, 2024 Skew emphasized that such high inflow days usually correspond to market supply zones, where sellers historically start moving back into the markets looking for price weakness. This spike in inflows represents a critical juncture for the cryptocurrency, potentially setting the stage for either a bullish continuation or a bearish retreat, depending on several market factors that Skew outlined. Skew further proposed in the analysis that sustaining the current bullish momentum hinges on a few key indicators. These include a consistent passive spot bid, which involves limiting spot buyers capitalizing on price dips, and the ability of spot takers to continue bidding through existing spot supply, which is necessary to breach the five-month supply barrier. Additionally, the absorption of sellers plays a crucial role; it is a fundamental aspect that needs to be addressed to reach new all-time highs. Although the influx of funds into Bitcoin is a sign of positivity, Skew points out that it will test the market’s ability at these crucial levels to keep demand strong and absorb selling pressure.

Adding to this possible sell pressure, Arkham Intelligence, in another report on X, also revealed that the defunct crypto exchange, Mt. Gox, may be moving to continue its Bitcoin sale. Yesterday, the exchange made test transactions depositing $1 to 4 separate Bitstamp deposit addresses.
