Bitcoin Slides to Mid-$90,000s as ETF Outflows and Thin Liquidity Pressure Price

Heavy put buying around $85k–$95k signals extreme fear, pointing to a market focused on whether support holds.

Overview

  • Bitcoin fell as low as about $94,100–$94,700, putting it close to wiping out its year-to-date gains after October’s record high near $126,000.
  • Spot Bitcoin funds and ETFs logged roughly $866–$870 million in net outflows on Thursday, the second‑largest daily withdrawal since launch.
  • Liquidity has deteriorated, with Kaiko reporting market depth down from about $766 million in early October to $535 million this week.
  • Options positioning turned defensive as one‑week implied volatility rose to ~51% and $95,000 puts attracted heavy bidding.
  • Traders are watching the $93k–$97k support band and a CME futures gap near $92k, with Binance taker imbalance turning negative and exchange reserves at record lows.
