The sudden outflow of huge amounts of capital from the Bitcoin spot ETF market raised many questions over the potential start of real gigantic bull sentiments in October.
On 1 Oct 2024, the Bitcoin market faced a significant capital outflow from Bitcoin spot ETFs. On this day, the market saw a total net outflow of $243 million. This marks the first net outflow after eight days of continuous inflows. Fidelity’s FBTC led the outflows with $144 million, followed by ARK’s ARKB, which saw $84.35 million in withdrawals. On the contrary, BlackRock’s ETF IBIT recorded an inflow of $40.835 million, indicating some investor optimism despite the overall negative trend.
On the same day, the Ethereum spot ETF market witnessed a net outflow of $48.519 million. ETHE and FETH faced outflows of $26.64 million and $24.97 million, respectively.
Due to this sudden outflow of money from the market, Bitcoin’s trade price crashed from the $64.5k level to $60.2k level. That means Bitcoin’s trade price collapsed by nearly 5% within 24 hours, raising big questions over the current bull sentiments.

Despite this downturn, many analysts shared their opinions, stating that the decline is temporary and that a big rally in Bitcoin’s price will soon be visible. Historically, when Bitcoin’s trade price increased in September, the market gained bullish momentum in October.
