Bitcoin joined U.S. stock indexes in heading lower on the day, as the U.S. dollar Index reached a six-month-high of 106.17.

“Bitcoin ETF demand has stagnated for 4 weeks,” the founder and CEO of CryptoQuant Ki Young Juwrote in part of his latest comment on BTC price on X.


Placing emphasis on the slowing inflows into the spot Bitcoin ETFs, Farside Investors data revealed that only Grayscale and BlackRock have had flows on Friday, April 12 and Monday, April 15, as every other fund recorded zero flows.

Meanwhile, an earlier report by Cointelegraph revealed that Bitcoin whales were holding onto their coins despite the recent ongoing drawdown in BTC price.


Young Ju’s observations corroborate this, showing that accumulation has increased despite the tapering spot Bitcoin flows.“On-chain accumulation remains very active, even when excluding ETF settlement transactions.”

Analyzing the current Bitcoin market structure, crypto analyst and partner at MV Capital Tom Dunleavy noted that the percentage of realized value of long-term holders was over 40%, way above the 10% that has historically defined BTC tops.“With a number of continued catalysts (Halving, further ETF flows, BTC L2s), we think there is no reason to suspect a near-term sustained pullback.

While remaining optimistic, position trader Bob Loukas examined a number of indicators on the daily chart as grounds to suspect a consolidation of the BTC price over the next two months before making a convincing run into price discovery.Source:Bob Loukas


CryptoQuant analysts added,“Investors have reduced their exposure to BTC ahead of this week’s Bitcoin halving(expected by April 20) and could be waiting on the sidelines for the situation in the Middle East to deescalate.”
