Bitcoin Price Faces Risk as Proven Indicator Signals Major Sell-Off
Bitcoin's price is at risk as a key indicator signals a sell-off.

April saw Bitcoin ETFs attract nearly $2 billion, marking a significant recovery in the cryptocurrency market. This follows a challenging five-month period where altcoin ETFs lost over $2.5 billion.
April turned out to be the best month for the cryptocurrency markets on different fronts since late last year, with BTC posting a double-digit surge and the spot Bitcoin ETFs attracting almost $2 billion.
At the same time, the exchange-traded funds tracking the world’s largest altcoin stopped a five-month painful streak, in which they bled well over $2.5 billion.
After a record-setting July 2025 in which the funds tracking bitcoin gained over $6 billion, investors continued to pour money into the financial vehicles in September and October, as roughly $3.5 billion flowed into each month. However, the tides turned in November when the same amount was withdrawn as the entire crypto market bled out. Over $1 billion was pulled out in December and another $1.6 billion in January.
February saw a substantial reduction in investor exodus, but it was still in the red, with net outflows of $206 million. March finally snapped this four-month streak, with net inflows of $1.32 billion. April was even better. Aside from the nearly 12% monthly surge in the underlying asset, the ETFs attracted just shy of $2 billion, according to data from SoSoValue, marking the best monthly performance since October last year.
Moreover, the positive flows for March and April have managed to reverse the year-to-date numbers as the cumulative flows for 2026 now stand at almost $1.5 billion.

While the BTC ETFs managed to break their negative streak in March, the Ethereum counterparts couldn’t. The funds tracking ETH bled out heavily in November (-$1.42 billion), followed by another $616 million in December, $353 million in January, $370 million in February, and a more modest $46 million in March.
