The dramatic sell-off has pushed the average spot Bitcoin ETF investor into negative territory as massive outflows continue to batter the market. Analysts point to both macroeconomic factors and significant whale selling as contributing to the downturn.

The U.S. Treasury Department executed two major bond buybacks totaling $20 billion, repurchasing securities maturing between May and July 2024. While some speculate this signals ‘stealth QE’—akin to the Federal Reserve’s stimulus measures—analysts like Jim Bianco argue the Treasury is merely enhancing liquidity by swapping illiquid ‘off-the-run’ bonds for more tradable ones. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted buybacks as a tool to stabilize markets, but critics warn it could artificially prop up an overextended system. The debate centers on whether this operation creates money (like QE) or simply optimizes bond market efficiency.

Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading in a tight range between $101k and $105k, with analysts warning of a possible correction to $99k or lower. Three main factors contribute to this bearish outlook: weakening momentum (evidenced by lower highs and an overbought RSI), a decline in daily active addresses signaling reduced investor interest, and macroeconomic uncertainties around potential Fed rate cuts. While some analysts, like Scott Melker, remain optimistic about a potential surge to $250k, the prevailing sentiment suggests Bitcoin must break above $104k decisively to reverse the downtrend. Whale accumulation could play a critical role in triggering any major price rebound.

Bitcoin is consolidating above key technical levels near $85,000, with analysts noting a breakout from a descending channel and balanced spot order book liquidity. This resilience comes amid broader macroeconomic uncertainty, including a sharp decline in foreign central bank demand for U.S. equities and Treasuries. Elevated U.S. tariffs, now at a century-high average of 22.8%, are further discouraging capital inflows, with some businesses relocating production overseas. These factors suggest weakening international confidence in U.S. markets, contrasting with Bitcoin’s relative strength as an alternative asset.
