Bitcoin could potentially see a correction to the $51,000 mark if inflows in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) slow down, according to Ki Young Ju, founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, who wrote in a March 22 X post:“New whales, mainly ETF buyers, have a $56K on-chain cost basis. Corrections typically entail a max drawdown of around 30% in bull markets, with a max pain of $51K.”Bitcoin ETF historical netflow trend chart. Source:Ki Young Ju


After five consecutive days of negative outflows last week, the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw over $15 million worth of net flows on March 25, the same day Bitcoin price recorded its highest daily close of above $69,000 in the past 10 days. The 10 Bitcoin ETFs saw a combined net inflow of $418 million on March 26.Is the pre-halving Bitcoin correction over?


Bitcoin’s pre-halving price correction occurred in line with previous historical retraces ahead of the halving, according to analyst Rekt Capital, who wrote in a March 25 X post:“The Pre-Halving Retrace occurred right on schedule. And now Bitcoin is back to $70,000.”BTC/USD, 1-week chart. Source:Rekt Capital


Bitcoin price could break out toward new all-time highs if the old all-time high of $69,000 is flipped into support, said Rekt Capital in a March 26 video analysis:“Bitcoin is now peaking beyond this old all-time high, potentially positioning itself for this pre-halving retracement to be over.”


Last week’s Bitcoin price correction suggests that the price has already formed a local bottom, or is close to doing so, according to a research note by Bitfinex analysts shared with Cointelegraph:“We believe the pullback last week for Bitcoin from its current all-time high of $73,666, and amounting to an approximate 17.5 percent correction, suggests we are close to establishing a local bottom - and indeed may have already done so.”
