CryptoQuant certified author Axel Adler Jr. published a report stating that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded a cumulative net outflow of $969 million over the past five trading days, with related fund flow indicators declining by $766 million over the past week. Only 15% of trading days in the past year have seen this indicator at or below the current level, reflecting a clear weakening in fund demand. Meanwhile, the Coinbase Premium Index has stayed negative for 70 consecutive days, currently standing at -0.14%—one of the lower levels in the past year, indicating sluggish demand in the U.S. spot market. The combined pressure from ETF outflows and weak U.S. spot demand is weighing on the Bitcoin market, with both indicators suggesting the market may continue its correction. If ETF fund flows shift back to net inflows and the Coinbase Premium Index rises above zero, it will signal an improvement in demand.
