Bitcoin is facing renewed downside pressure as heavy outflows from spot exchange-traded funds and large-scale liquidations flush out highly leveraged traders. Over the past 12 trading days, Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $2.9 billion in net outflows, reflecting weakening investor appetite amid broader market uncertainty.

The pullback followed Bitcoin’s rejection near the $98,000 level in mid-January and triggered a sharp correction that wiped out $3.25 billion in leveraged long futures positions. Analysts note that most positions using leverage above 4x have already been eliminated unless traders added fresh margin.

The move suggests the market is undergoing a deleveraging phase rather than a single-event sell-off, with risk-sensitive participants reducing exposure.

honestly this is why i pay attention to options skew, tells you way more about pro sentiment than price charts
