Bitcoin price weakness continues to persist as every bounce in recent weeks is met with instant selling pressure. As BTC is flirting with $87,000, on-chain data shows that total wallet addresses across sharks and whales are on a decline. This, coupled with Bitcoin ETF outflows, demonstrates that the overall sentiment is turning bearish.

The image above also shows signs of a temporary rebound and another leg lower. Crypto analyst Tracer noted that many market participants could be unprepared for a renewed downside move. As per the above image, the Bitcoin price could see a temporary bounce to $100K. However, if the pattern repeats, it might crash later, all the way under $60K levels.
After seeing a bounce to $90,000 earlier this week, BTC has once again faced rejection. It has shown a strong negative correlation with US tech stocks as well as top-performing metals like Gold and Silver.
Bitcoin ETFs Continue to Bleed
The US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen major outflows over the past few trading sessions. After $497 million in outflows last week, this week the outflows have continued as well.
BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded the most outflows at $157.3 million, with 1,792 Bitcoins moving out of the fund. The IBIT share price continues to flirt with $50.
