U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $681 million in outflows last week, their largest weekly withdrawal since June. Bitcoin traded near $84,050 after dipping to about $83,500, while WTI futures fell 1.8% to $90.28 and most major cryptocurrencies advanced.
Why it matters
The price rebound is running against a cautious institutional backdrop. ETF outflows accelerated on Oct. 7 and 8, while Treasury yields reached 24-year highs during the week ending Oct. 9. Giottus CEO Vikram Subburaj described the flows as a sign of cautious institutional sentiment.
Lower oil prices offered some relief to the broader macro picture. The decline followed President Donald Trump's announcement of an agreement for Russia to supply 300,000 metric tons of diesel fuel, alongside claims of an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian officials said they were not consulted, and strikes on Ukraine's energy grid continued.
Market impact
The recovery has broadened across major digital assets, with nine of the top 10 advancing over the last 24 hours. Avalanche rose 5.1% to $10.91, Chainlink gained 2.4% to $13.35, and Solana added 1.2%.
Analysts identified $82,000 as Bitcoin's key support level. A break below it would increase pressure on the rebound, while U.S. inflation data due Oct. 14 is the next major macro catalyst for ETF flows, yields and risk appetite.
