Bitcoin Market Slide Deepens as ETF Inflows Cool
Bitcoin slips amid $56M in liquidations as ETF inflows slow, pushing the market into a neutral zone.
- Bitcoin sees $56M in liquidations in 24 hours
- ETF inflows slow, triggering profit-taking by traders
- Fear and Greed Index drops to neutral at 49
After a brief rally in major cryptocurrencies, the market is showing signs of fatigue. Bitcoin (BTC) has slipped by 0.7% in the past 24 hours to trade at $95,638, while Ethereum (ETH) is down 0.3% at $3,312. The sudden slowdown in ETF inflows appears to have triggered profit-taking by investors, resulting in a broader market pullback.
This shift in momentum led to $56 million in BTC liquidations alone over the past day, suggesting that traders are adjusting their positions amidst uncertainty. Total crypto market liquidations reached $247 million, reflecting a wave of short-term exits.
ETF Inflows Lose Steam, Triggering Profit-Taking
Spot Bitcoin ETFs had been a major driver of recent price spikes, but the inflow momentum seems to have cooled off. Without strong new buying pressure from institutional players, many investors are now locking in gains from earlier runs. This wave of selling has put a pause on what was a bullish trend just days ago.
The slowdown has also impacted overall market sentiment. The Fear and Greed Index (FGI) dropped from 51 to 49, moving the market sentiment into a “Neutral” zone. Investors are neither overly optimistic nor panicking — but caution is clearly setting in.
Market Outlook: Volatility Ahead?
With the total crypto market cap at $3.32 trillion, the market still holds substantial value. However, the recent dip, combined with shrinking ETF activity, suggests that traders are waiting for a clearer signal before re-entering the market aggressively.
While this may not be the start of a major correction, it’s a reminder that crypto markets remain highly reactive to both institutional behavior and short-term sentiment swings.
