The cryptocurrency market is reeling as the Bitcoin price plummeted 0.1% in the last 24 hours to trade at $66,704, pulling altcoins down.
The recent decline has been exacerbated by major withdrawals from Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), increasing investor worries and market instability. These ETFs have seen significant losses, with U.S. Bitcoin ETFs experiencing net outflows of $226.21 million in just one day.

So we witnessed a $226 million outflow on #Bitcoin spot ETF yesterday, yeah it seems like a huge figure leaving the market.
Also when you consider that only 2 days ago, the outflow hit $200 million, and the total outflow for this week is $491.5 you may want to call it for… pic.twitter.com/RAyxnn2Fky

Fidelity’s FBTC saw a massive $106 million leave its holdings, marking one of its worst days since it began. These large withdrawals indicate a shift in how institutional investors are feeling.
Grayscale’s GBTC, Ark Invest’s ARKB, and 21Shares all experienced outflows of $62 million and $53 million, respectively, with others facing similar challenges. Even Bitwise and VanEck saw about $10 million each flow out.
The only positive note came from BlackRock’s IBIT fund, which attracted $18 million in inflows a small glimmer of hope amidst turbulent times.
Despite the decline, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor made a bold prediction at BTC Prague, foreseeing Bitcoin reaching $8 million and potentially even $70 million.

Bitcoin Price Declines Within The Bullish Pennant
Bitcoin has consistently stayed above its key support level of $60,000, a critical threshold for traders. However, the BtC bulls have encountered a resistance level at $72,256, coinciding with the upper trendline of the pennant.
Currently, the price is experiencing a downtrend but is consolidating within a pennant formation. This pattern typically suggests that there’s a chance for bullish investors to regain momentum and push the price above the pennant boundaries.
The formation of this bullish pennant indicates a potential upward trend, which could sustain the bullish momentum and potentially propel prices beyond Bitcoin’s previous peak of $73,737.
BTCUSDT Analysis (Source: Tradingview)
The 50-day simple moving average could be a support level for the price. If the bulls bounce back from this moving average, the upward momentum would likely be sustained. A rise in Bitcoin’s price from here could confirm expectations of breaking above the upper trendline of the pennant and triggering a potential rally.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has tumbled below the 50 midline levels in a bearish trend to 40, indicating strong selling pressure. Increased selling pressure should push it to the oversold level of 30
Additionally, the green histogram bars on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator and the recent crossover of the blue average line over the orange signal line downwards further support the bearish sentiment.
Bitcoin Price Prediction
Despite a recent decline, Bitcoin’s price might bounce back from the 50-day SMA, potentially kickstarting a strong bullish rally. Traders could also utilize the bullish pennant pattern to drive momentum upwards, aiming for a possible new record high of around $84,527.
However, if bearish sentiment persists and pushes the price lower, there’s a risk of it dropping below the 50-day SMA within the pennant, possibly to around $65,827. Further downward pressure could lead to a retracement towards the lower trendline, reaching approximately $61,514.
