Bitcoin Price Forecast: BTC struggles amid ETF outflows, bearish futures data

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading below $91,000 at press time on Monday, struggling to hold above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $91,548. A steady outflow from US spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) reflects weakened institutional demand, risking a decline in market sentiment. Meanwhile, the derivatives market witnesses a selling bias with a greater number of active short positions.

Crypto: Sell-the-growth continues

The crypto market capitalisation grew by 1% over the past day and is down 1% from a week ago. Bitcoin received a boost from reports of a criminal investigation against the head of the Federal Reserve, which created momentum for a flight from US assets. In our view, this precedent is negative for risk appetite.
