Bitcoin Bounces Back From 6-Week Low Despite $1B ETF Exodus
Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded to $78,500 after hitting a six-week low, despite $1.16 billion in outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs over three sessions. Withdrawals slowed, easing selling pressure. BlackRock's IBIT saw the largest outflows, while Bitwise's BITB and Fidelity's FBTC attracted inflows. Institutional investors remain cautious, and BTC's next resistance is at $80,000.
