Bitcoin Holds Near $90,000 as ETF Outflows Sap Momentum

Crowded long positioning with reduced profit‑taking is keeping price pinned to support near $90,000.

Overview

  • Bitcoin is consolidating around $90,000–$91,000 after a brief dip to roughly $89,200–$89,300 and repeated failures to clear $94,000–$95,000.
  • U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs logged several days of redemptions, with single‑day totals near $400–$500 million and roughly $1.1 billion in cumulative outflows this week.
  • Derivatives data show elevated open interest near recent highs and persistently positive funding, while pullbacks triggered liquidations totaling roughly $200–$440 million, mostly from longs.
  • On‑chain gauges point to lighter distribution pressure, with Glassnode noting a sharp drop in realized profits and CryptoQuant highlighting that fresh capital inflows have largely dried up.
  • Analysts are split: JPMorgan cites signs of bottoming, but traders warn that losing $90,000 could expose $86,000–$80,000, with a sustained break above $95,000 needed to regain momentum.
