Bitcoin ETFs saw $48M in outflows, primarily driven by BlackRock’s IBIT exit. Despite this, BTC price stabilized above $103,500 support after briefly dipping to $100,372.

Trading Action
Consider a neutral strategy. Enter long between $103,500 and $104,200, targeting $106,500 and $108,800. Place a stop-loss at $102,000 (2.1% risk). This setup offers a 1:2.3 risk/reward ratio. The MACD bearish divergence and potential further ETF outflows warrant caution. A break below $102,000 invalidates the bullish thesis, signaling further downside.
Bottom Line
BTC shows mixed signals; price is consolidating but faces headwinds. Aggressive traders may consider a long with tight risk management. Conservative traders should wait for a confirmed breakout above $106,500 or below $102,000 before entering. Watch $103,500; a break below this level could trigger further selling.
