Bitcoin stabilized above a critical support level Tuesday as significant outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) generated fresh uncertainty among both institutional and retail market participants. Analysts observed that the influx of derivatives trading positions continues to counterbalance this pressure, suggesting a tug-of-war between different segments of the market.
The price of Bitcoin traded at $64,161.85, reflecting a 1.44% decline over the past 24 hours. According to data from multiple exchanges, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced $225.18 million in net outflows, erasing several previous days of inflows and signaling a possible shift in institutional sentiment. Total net assets held within these ETFs now stand at $78.82 billion, with cumulative net inflows at $51.63 billion.
The latest outflow suggests that some larger investors may have chosen to take profits following Bitcoin’s partial price recovery this month. While outflows in a single day do not guarantee an extended trend, sustained withdrawals could create headwinds for price action in the absence of renewed demand from institutional buyers.
Despite ongoing ETF outflows, derivatives data show that many traders continue to increase their market exposure, maintaining open interest close to $49 billion.
Analysis from TradingView reveals Bitcoin currently holds above its 200-day moving average, set at $63,162, but remains below the 50-day moving average of $72,450. These levels mark the boundaries of a key trading range, with buyers actively defending the $63,200–$63,700 support region.
Technical analysts highlighted that a daily closing price below $63,700 could increase downward momentum, potentially exposing the next notable support at $59,300. Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is still positioned above its signal line, though the contracting histogram points to fading bullish momentum.

Snyder commented that his long trading strategy “after the sweep of the 65K lows is active,” and that buyers continue to defend the current trading formation.
He identified $63,700 as the critical level that bulls must defend to avoid a deeper correction. Snyder further noted that another rally targeting $67,000 is possible if this support holds. He also cited $68,100 as a favorable area for profit-taking.
Snyder indicated, “The invalidation for the local longs thesis is the 63.7K low,” and outlined $68,100 as an optimal zone to close winning trades in the event of a rebound.
Despite continued ETF outflows, Bitcoin’s open interest in the derivatives market has remained robust, suggesting traders are building positions on both sides of the market. Liquidations of both long and short positions in recent sessions highlight a lack of decisive momentum in either direction.
Technical analysts continue to emphasize the significance of the $63,700 support zone in maintaining Bitcoin’s short-term bullish structure. Should the price break and close below this level, it could invalidate the current bullish thesis and shift focus toward the next support at $59,300.
Market observers suggest that the interplay between institutional ETF flows, derivatives positioning, and price action at these critical levels is likely to determine Bitcoin’s next major move.
