๐ Bitcoin ETFs Struggling with Inflows Since March ๐ซ
Bitcoin ETFs have seen no new inflows since late March, causing analysts at Ecoinometrics to question the narrative of Bitcoin "decoupling from stock indices."
This stagnation raises concerns about the strength of current support levels for Bitcoin. The lack of new investments might signal a weakening market sentiment or could indicate that institutional interest is cooling off, contrary to expectations of sustained growth.
The ongoing silence from Bitcoin ETFs is making many rethink the bullish outlook for the asset. ๐จ Is the crypto market losing momentum, or just taking a breather? Only time will tell! โณ
