Are Institutions Crashing The Bitcoin Price On Purpose? Here’s What People Are Saying
Bitcoin’s recent drop is being linked to heavy ETF outflows, with spot Bitcoin funds seeing withdrawals in 13 of the last 14 trading days and assets falling from about $104 billion to $82 billion. Ash Crypto said rumors suggest institutions may be pushing BTC lower to accumulate before the Clarity Act, comparing it with past setups where major filings preceded sharp pullbacks and later rallies. Michael Saylor framed the move as capital rotation, noting large AI-related capital inflows versus billions leaving BTC ETFs, and said volatility creates opportunity. Separately, Benjamin Cowen argued Bitcoin is still tracking its normal four-year cycle and may form a bear-cycle low by Q4 if history repeats. Ali Martinez warned BTC could slide toward $54,000–$50,000. BTC was trading near $63,100 at the time cited.
