Continued Crypto Fund Outflows Slows Bitcoin Recovery

IG analyst Chris Beauchamp has analyzed the current state of Bitcoin and the crypto market, providing the catalysts for the next price trajectory.

In a note today, Beauchamp highlighted that the current market is struggling to recover following a disastrous end to the previous year. He explained why this bearish trend has impacted Bitcoin and the broader altcoin market, and further identified upcoming events that could shape their subsequent path.

Key Points

  • Beauchamp noted that the crypto market recovery has been slow.
  • The IG analyst pegged the slow recovery to outflows from crypto investment funds, with Bitcoin ETFs seeing over $1.38 billion in outflows from Jan. 6 to 9.
  • According to Beauchamp, a new wave of inflows would aid the crypto market’s recovery.
  • The analyst highlighted the $95,000 level as key for Bitcoin, as it would confirm a break to the upside.
  • Beauchamp also mentioned a few macro factors that could determine Bitcoin’s price trajectory in the short term, including the US inflation data and bank earnings.

The Crypto Is Struggling to Recover

Market data confirms this narrative. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, has held steadily above $91,000, up over 3.5% from its yearly opening of $88,620.

However, this is a considerable correction from its high of $94,766 earlier in the year. The pioneering cryptocurrency reached a high in the first week of the year, with the momentum spreading optimism that it would retest much higher prices. 

That did not materialize, and BTC has been consolidating below the yearly high since then. Notably, this trend also impacted altcoins, including XRP and Cardano, which rose to respective highs earlier but have since declined considerably.

But Why Is Bitcoin Struggling?

Outflows from crypto investment funds have contributed to the market lull. Notably, CoinShares data shows that digital asset vehicles recorded a net outflow of $454 million in the previous week, suggesting a conservative stance by market participants.

Crypto-based ETPs attracted strong interest in the first two trading days of the year, bringing in over $1 billion in total. The inflows coincided with the period that the market trended higher, covering some ground after its brutal Q4 2025 performance.

However, the traction subsided slightly, with the ETPs retaining $580 million at the end of the week of January 3. However, the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs led the exodus last week, with investors pulling out $405 million and $116 million, respectively.

Fresh Inflow and Critical Support Decisive

According to Beauchamp, a new wave of inflows would aid the crypto market’s recovery. While prices remain positive in the short term, a new capital injection could spark a rebound, potentially pushing Bitcoin to a crucial support area.

The analyst highlighted the $95,000 level as key for BTC, as it would set it on its path to higher prices when momentum returns. He noted that a reclaim and hold above this demand zone confirms that Bitcoin has broken to the upside.

Bitcoin attempted to recover this area on January 7 but couldn’t. Meanwhile, at the current market price of $91,800, BTC would need to rise by 3.4% to reach the support level.

Macroeconomic Catalysts

Notably, Beauchamp also mentioned a few macro factors that could determine Bitcoin’s price trajectory in the short term. He expected the forthcoming US inflation data to move the crypto market. Notably, the data remained at 2.7%, further dampening the chances of a US Federal Reserve interest rate cut. 

Subsequently, the US bank Q4 earnings reports will start coming in later in the week, and he believes they will affect the market tone. Additionally, he mentioned the earlier-scheduled crypto market bill hearing on Thursday as another price catalyst; however, the markup has been moved to later in January.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
