Crypto Market in Extreme Fear: ETF Outflows and Mixed Signals
The crypto market is showing weakness this morning, marked by persistent Bitcoin ETF outflows and a sentiment of "extreme fear." While some on-chain data suggests long-term accumulation, rumors of massive Bitcoin inflows and caution from influential Ethereum voices weigh on the short-term outlook.
Daily context
