Summary
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said that over the same five sessions US-listed ETFs took in about $12 billion per day, and all 17 of the top funds by inflows held equities. The rotation suggests investors treated the pullback as an entry point in stocks while crypto funds continued to see redemptions. The source for these figures is a post on X that could not be accessed directly, so the numbers are as quoted in coverage.
On-chain and market gauges point in the same bearish direction. CryptoQuant's 10 November research put Bitcoin's apparent demand down about 284,000 BTC over 30 days, the fastest contraction since March 2025. Its Bull Score Index fell from 90 on 13 October to 20, a reading the firm classes as extra bearish. USDT's market capitalisation fell about $6.6 billion over 60 days, more than twice the contraction after FTX's collapse in December 2022, according to CryptoQuant. The Coinbase Premium has been negative for 30 straight days, and futures liquidations jumped 288% to $725 million on Tuesday, according to CoinGlass.
Bitcoin was trading near $73,000 on Wednesday after dipping to about $72,700 during Tuesday's session. CryptoQuant identifies the 200-day moving average at $73,200 as the next important support, and a break below it would, in the firm's view, open the door to a deeper correction. Reclaiming and holding above that level would keep the correction shallow. Figures from CryptoQuant's report and SoSoValue's dashboard could not be verified directly and rest on outlets citing them.
