Bitcoin ETF Inflows Surge Again, Ethereum ETFs Struggle: The Digital Gold Drama!

by

In the midst of a grand crypto market correction, Bitcoin BTC$111 125 is re-emerging as a safe-haven asset, while the world collectively shrugs off the chaos of macroeconomic instability. Ah yes, Bitcoin-our old faithful digital gold, if you will. Isn’t it just lovely when something you can’t hold becomes a “safe haven”? 🙄

On September 2nd, Bitcoin ETFs witnessed a remarkable surge in inflows-$332.7 million to be exact. Meanwhile, over in the Ethereum camp, things were… less rosy. Ethereum ETH$4 354 ETFs bled a hefty $135 million in the same period. Talk about a tale of two cryptocurrencies, eh?

The spotlight had once again shifted to the ethereal charm of Bitcoin, especially after Ethereum’s golden month of August, which saw an inflow of $3.87 billion. In contrast, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a less-than-inspiring $751 million in outflows. The universe has a sense of humor, doesn’t it?

Fidelity’s Bitcoin ETF Takes the Lead

Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) topped the inflow charts with a jaw-dropping $132.7 million, followed closely by BlackRock’s IBIT at $72.8 million. I mean, who could resist investing in Bitcoin when you’re dealing with all this drama and glitter, right?

Other big players in the ETF world, such as Grayscale, Ark 21Shares, Bitwise, VanEck, and Invesco, also hopped on the bandwagon, as per data from SoSoValue. With everyone rushing to the scene, it’s almost like a celebrity walk of fame-only the stars are digital currencies!

And what’s the deal with this surge, you ask? Well, it’s undeniably linked to the rise of Bitcoin’s oh-so-predictable “digital gold” narrative. Because nothing says “stability” like a volatile, hard-to-understand asset, right? 😂

Crypto investment products themselves saw a strong rebound last week, recording a hefty $2.48 billion in net inflows-thankfully recovering from $1.4 billion in outflows the previous week. The crypto rollercoaster, folks-hold on to your hats!

Bitcoin, the ever-dramatic performer, took a plunge under $107,500 before recovering, ever so heroically, to $111,000. It’s almost like watching someone trip on the stage, only to get up and take a bow. Bravo, Bitcoin! 🌟

Bitcoin made it to the bull market support band just before September began. But hey, here we are.

This is where the bulls would like to hold the line.

August formed a local high; September will likely form a local low.

Note that September 1st was already a…

The Ethereum ETF Bloodbath

On the flip side, Ethereum ETFs are experiencing a painful exodus, with Fidelity’s FETH leading the charge with a $99.2 million outflow. Not far behind is Bitwise’s ETHW, with a decline of $24.2 million. Ouch. To make matters worse, August 29 saw a staggering $164 million worth of withdrawals. Yikes! 😬

The price of Ethereum is feeling the heat, now trading just under $4,400. Could things get worse for Ethereum? Well, analyst Benjamin Cowen seems to think Ethereum might dip further to its 21-week EMA within the next 4-6 weeks. After that, a potential rally awaits. Maybe. We’ll see. 🤷‍♂️

I think Ethereum will drop to its 21W EMA within the next 4-6 weeks (regardless of what Bitcoin does).

After Ethereum hits the 21W EMA, it should then rally to new All Time Highs.

I think we are about to witness the final rotation into Bitcoin this market cycle.

According to the chart above, Ethereum might see its price drop to around $3,400 by the end of September-just in time for another potential 20% correction. It’s like waiting for the other shoe to drop. But hey, when ETH picks up again in Q4, perhaps it will make those new all-time highs we’ve all been hoping for… maybe… eventually… 🧐
