Bitcoin price slips below $80,000 amid ETF outflows and market volatility
Bitcoin has experienced significant price volatility, recently slipping below the psychologically important $80,000 level. The cryptocurrency has traded in a range between approximately $79,200 and $81,000, facing downward pressure from both technical resistance and macroeconomic uncertainty.
Institutional demand has weakened, evidenced by substantial outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. On October 22, these ETFs recorded net outflows of approximately $635.6 million. Major funds, including BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, saw significant redemptions during this period. This trend follows a period of net inflows earlier in the month, suggesting a reversal in institutional sentiment.
Market participants are also monitoring the impact of the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision on October 28, which is contributing to a cautious trading environment. While some corporate entities continue to accumulate, such as Strive, which purchased 6,182 BTC at an average price of $82,732, the broader market remains sensitive to liquidations and shifting liquidity patterns.
