Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $89,400, recording a 6.4% decline over the past seven days. Its trading volume has also plunged by 32% to $35 billion, signaling a cautious approach from traders.
CEX Inflows and ETF Outflows
Bitcoin has been struggling to gain bullish momentum due to less institutional interest and increasing inflows into centralized crypto exchanges.
Leading CEXs recorded a net inflow of 5,026 BTC over the past 24 hours, also reaching 9,891 BTC in the last seven days, according to data from CoinGlass.
Dominating inflows into CEXs usually hint at a selloff and increased fear among the investors.
Moreover, the US-based spot BTC exchange-traded funds registered a net outflow of $1.22 billion over the past three days, according to SoSoValue data.
This negative momentum is primarily due to the macro uncertainty from the US, as President Donald Trump has been threatening EU countries with increased tariffs.
