Bitcoin Price Drivers: ETF Inflows

The recent bearish turn in the Bitcoin market can be attributed to the decline in ETF inflows, which have significantly reduced over the past four to five weeks, leading to a lack of substantial upside drivers. The evidence suggests higher inflation numbers impacting Bitcoin prices, with data releases in March and April correlating with sharp sell-offs in the cryptocurrency. Additionally, market internals show weakened funding rates and decreased investor interest, signifying a shift away from previous bullish trends.
