Bitcoin falls below $89K as ETF outflows accelerate sharply
Bitcoin tests key support after heavy ETF withdrawals this week

​On Wednesday, Bitcoin lost another 5% and traded below $89,000, while Ethereum fell 8%, dropping below $2,900. The sell-off in the crypto market intensified as hopes for another Fed rate cut diminished. The CME FedWatch tool gives only a 33.6% probability of such an event.

Since the beginning of the week, outflows from Bitcoin- and Ethereum-based ETFs have increased. In just one day, investors converted 6,105 BTC worth $559 million and 40,442 ETH worth $124 million into fiat. Over the week, Bitcoin ETFs saw losses exceeding $2.2 billion, while Ethereum ETFs lost nearly $1 billion.

Investors are moving away from “risk-on” assets, including cryptocurrencies, while technical indicators such as the “death cross” and the widening gap with the 200-day moving average signal a bearish trend.

“Losing $90,000 is a significant technical event indicating that the market may search for support lower. If buyers do not step in soon, Bitcoin may move toward the mid-$80,000 range before stabilizing,” analyst Viktoras Karapetjants said.

Hopes for a rally fade along with the price

Cryptonews calls $90,000 a key historical support level that coincides with the channel low and the value-area low. If Bitcoin closes above the $90,000 support, the likelihood of a rotational rally increases.

However, a breakdown below this support will signal a shift in market control and invalidate the current bullish structure. At the moment, a reversal is still possible, but the probability is extremely low. It is important to watch the $88,500 and $84,000 levels, where significant buying occurred, as investor reactions there will influence Bitcoin’s price dynamics.
