Bitcoin ETF outflows weaken institutional demand, but whale buying cushions price drops.

Institutional demand for Bitcoin is weakening as U.S. Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs see seven consecutive days of net outflows, with $445 million exiting Bitcoin ETFs recently. This reduces total ETF assets and removes a key source of market support during price corrections. However, large Bitcoin holders, or whales, are increasing their buying activity around key support levels, suggesting they view the dip as a buying opportunity. Meanwhile, long-term Bitcoin holders are starting to realize losses, indicating some capitulation, but this may reduce future selling pressure. Overall, sustained recovery depends on broader spot market demand beyond just whale accumulation.
