According to Glassnode, BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF has seen less than 0.6K BTC in weekly net inflows over the past three weeks — a steep decline from the over 10K BTC weekly inflows that preceded major rallies earlier this cycle.

Long-term Bitcoin holders offloaded roughly $33 billion worth of BTC in October, creating an estimated $1 billion in daily selling pressure. This wave of profit-taking played a major role in the market’s weakness following the strong Q3 rally. Analysts say the move reflects a natural market reset, as early investors locked in gains while Bitcoin consolidates and prepares for its next potential phase of growth.

Despite more than 400,000 BTC being sold, the leading cryptocurrency managed to hold above the $100,000 support level.
