Why Bitcoin is Throwing a Tantrum Like a Spoiled Child

by

In a most astonishing turn of events, dear reader, Bitcoin has taken a most delightful leap to the splendid sum of $82,000 this week. This resurgence came about after a considerable bout of chaos, a tempest fueled, no less, by the whims of Mr. Trump and his mercurial tariffs. Remarkably, the financial markets managed to compose themselves and return to a semblance of the normalcy one would expect in a well-regulated society, following Trump’s unforeseen decree—a most generous 90-day hiatus on tariffs, save for those pesky dealings with China.

As of the latest tick of the clock, Bitcoin finds itself steadfastly trading at $83,469, showing a modest increase of over 1% within the past twenty-four hours. Ah, how resilient it is! Yet, alas, on the 11th of April, Bitcoin spot ETFs endured a rather dismal net outflow of $1.0271 million. This marks the seventh day of consecutive withdrawal, as reported by the ever-reliable SoSovalue. While ARKB basked in the warm glow of positive inflows amounting to $11.28 million, the unfortunate BITB saw a net outflow of $12.31 million. The other ETFs, such as IBIT, FBTC, BTCO, BTCW, BRRR, EZBC, HODL, GBTC, DEFI, and BTC, sat in frozen silence, recording no changes whatsoever—much like the last social gathering one attends merely to fulfil obligatory engagements.

Significantly, Ether spot ETFs are enduring even greater hardships, having experienced a staggering net outflow of over $29 million. This sorry state of affairs persists, showcasing a four-day streak of losses which, I dare say, reflects the rather jittery sentiment among investors amid such unpredictable markets and the uncertainty of regulations. Quite like a game of musical chairs, is it not?

Bitcoin’s April Outflows Surpass March’s Total

Lo and behold! In little more than a fortnight, Bitcoin fund outflows have already eclipsed March’s totals, suggesting that more withdrawals may very well be on the horizon. On April 10th, Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $149.66, continuing a rather grim six-day withdrawal streak. Since the dawn of this month, a remarkable $813.89 million has haphazardly exited from Bitcoin ETFs—one must ponder if these funds are gallivanting to greener pastures.

Bitcoin has exhibited a certain fortitude this week, reaching higher peaks whilst avoiding the depths of despair. Nevertheless, the esteemed analyst Atlantis7 harbors doubts concerning this bullish trend. He suggests that the 4.80% rise is primarily driven by passive bids on trading platforms like Coinbase and Binance, coupled with the more spirited buyers on OKX. This observation implies that institutions may be treating Bitcoin as a mere short-term refuge, much akin to how one might clutch their pearls amid the clamor of US-China tariff disputes—similar, indeed, to gold’s recent elevation. However, do heed his warning: this rally may merely be an “exit pump.” Quite the character, one might say!

Bitcoin Surges Over Fed’s Comments

Today, Bitcoin has soared a remarkable 5%, flirting with the $84,000 mark after the Federal President suggested that the Fed may employ various tools—almost like a magician—that might restore steadiness to our tumultuous market. A preposterous notion, yet one that piques interest.

Furthermore, the ever-astute Arthur Hayes speculates that simmering bond yields might compel the government to take action, possibly inducing the Fed to inject more funds into the economy—oh, the drama! This, he believes, could rekindle a robust and lasting rally across our beloved markets.

Meanwhile, the analyst Ali Martinez took to the platform of X to inform us that Bitcoin is audaciously surpassing a pivotal resistance at $82,360. He intimates that should Bitcoin endure above this threshold, momentum may very well carry it forth toward a tantalizing target of $91,50. One can hardly imagine the excitement this prospect incites! 😊
