Summary:

  • Bitcoin's price has fallen 14% in the past four weeks, nearing the crucial $60,000 level.

  • The average entry price for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs is estimated to be between $60,000 and $61,000, potentially triggering a wave of liquidations if the price breaks below this range.

  • Institutional investment in Bitcoin ETFs has yet to materialize, with recent data showing that 80% of inflows came from existing crypto market participants.

  • Sell-offs by miners, old wallets, and Germany's divestment of crypto holdings have exacerbated Bitcoin's decline.

  • Despite BlackRock's initial claims, institutional investors haven't entered the market in force.

Bitcoin's recent decline has pushed it towards the critical $60,000 level, raising concerns about potential liquidations in U.S. spot BTC ETFs. Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, estimates that the average entry price for these ETFs is between $60,000 and $61,000, making a break below this level a trigger for liquidations. This is particularly concerning as institutional investors haven't yet entered the market in force, despite initial claims from BlackRock. Recent sell-offs by miners, old wallets, and Germany's divestment of crypto holdings have further amplified downward pressure. Bitcoin's price has dropped by 14% in four weeks, trading at $60,200 after dipping below $60,000 earlier Friday morning.
