Bitcoin outflows break records: Crypto markets under pressure!

Bitcoin outflows break records: Crypto markets under pressure!

The Bitcoin market is currently undergoing significant changes affecting both price trends and trading practices. According to BTC-Echo, the Bitcoin price fell to an annual low of $75,000 in April, but there has been a recovery in recent weeks. However, this recovery is under pressure as momentum weakens and crypto exchanges' Bitcoin holdings shrink rapidly. Since the beginning of the year, a total of around 320,000 BTC, worth $33 billion, have been withdrawn from major trading platforms.

Bitcoin outflows are also having an immediate impact on availability on crypto exchanges, which is currently at a six-year low of just 2.58 million BTC. This represents just 12.28% of all Bitcoin in existence, which is considered a bullish indicator for the market. Particularly notable are the massive outflows at Binance, where 27,750 BTC – worth around $2.6 billion – were withdrawn in a single day.

Price development and market dynamics

The price of Bitcoin recently reached an all-time high of $95,000, further highlighting the strained market conditions. On April 24, the price of Bitcoin rose 11%, supported by high inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, which reported $442 million on the day. These inflows resulted in net inflows of 11,898 BTC and contributed to the recovery of the Bitcoin price, which gained $20,000 over the last three weeks, up 12% since the previous week.

Experts are monitoring support at $88,000 and resistance between $96,000 and $98,000. In this context, Bitcoin continues to be viewed as a store of value and digital gold, potentially leading to greater institutionalized interest.

Institutional investments and new companies

Interest in Bitcoin is also attracting major institutional investors. Tether, SoftBank and Cantor Fitzgerald have founded a new company called “Twenty One Capital” that is starting with 42,000 BTC (worth $3.9 billion). This makes “Twenty One” the third largest Bitcoin reserve among listed companies and highlights the important role of large investors in the current market.

However, the current crypto euphoria also carries risks and could have potential social consequences. Experts warn about the potential negative impact of an overheated market, especially given changing buying habits and market volatility.

Overall, it can be said that the dynamic movements in the Bitcoin world bring with them both opportunities and challenges. The continuous outflows from the exchanges, the institutional investments and the current price volatility will significantly shape the Bitcoin market in the coming weeks and months.
