Bitcoin bulls appear reluctant to buy dips after BTC’s repeat failures to secure a close above $98,500.

Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading below the psychologically critical $100,000 level for the past few days, signaling a lack of aggressive buying at lower levels. CryptoQuant contributor J. A. Maartunn said in a Quicktake blog post that Bitcoin “flowing out of derivative exchanges and into spot exchanges” suggests the start of a bearish phase.

The large outflows from cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs) last week suggest that the market participants are turning cautious in the near term. According to a CoinShares report, Bitcoin ETPs witnessed $430 million in outflows in the previous trading week, possibly triggered by macroeconomic concerns and the hawkish remarks by the US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
