Bitcoin’s rally back to the mid-$73,000 region did not last long as the 
leading cryptocurrency’s price action reversed as the week came to a close and 
fell back around $67,000 after momentarily regaining momentum last week, 
pulling Ethereum down with it till the ETH price also lost the $2,000 price 
level. However, the pullback of these leading cryptocurrencies is the product 
of a few forces colliding at once: a war nobody fully priced in and 
institutions quietly heading for the exits. Here is what happened. Spot 
Bitcoin ETFs: From Boosting Rally To Draining Liquidity One of the clearest 
reasons for Bitcoin’s reversal is that the same ETF complex that helped lift 
the price early in the week suddenly turned into a source of pressure. 
SoSoValue data show that US-based Spot Bitcoin ETFs posted strong inflows at 
the start of the week, including about $458.19 million on March 2, $225.15 
million on March 3, and $461.77 million on March 4. Related Reading: Bitcoin 
Pattern Memory Predicts The Bottom, And It’s Below $40,000 That stretch helped 
Bitcoin climb as high as roughly $74,051 intraday on March 4, but the tone 
changed quickly after that. By March 5, spot Bitcoin ETFs had flipped to a net 
outflow of about $227.83 million, and on March 6, the outflow worsened to 
roughly $348.83 million, showing that institutional demand softened just as 
Bitcoin was testing resistance near the mid-$70,000s. Spot Bitcoin ETFs.

funds flows deteriorate in tandem with Bitcoin. SoSoValue&#8217;s data show US Spot 
Ethereum ETFs started the week on firmer footing, with $38.69 million in net 
inflows on March 2, led by BlackRock’s ETHA at about $26.51 million. However, 
by the second half of the week, that demand had faded massively. Spot Ethereum 
ETFs recorded about $90.94 million in net outflows on March 5 and another 
$82.85 million in net outflows on March 6, with Fidelity’s FETH alone 
accounting for roughly $67.57 million of the March 6 withdrawal. Spot Ethereum

is the macro backdrop. The bounce to $73,000 to $74,000 invited short-term 
traders to lock in gains, especially after Bitcoin ran into a clear resistance 
band and failed to push through decisively. On-chain data shows that more than 
27,000 BTC in profit were sent to exchanges by short-term holders within 24 
hours. Related Reading: XRP Price At $100 Is ‘Inevitable’, Analyst Explains 
Why This Is However, investors are not dealing with only crypto-related 
concerns. Financial markets are still pricing in the conflicts in the Middle 
East. Iran responded to US-Israel attacks by not only firing retaliatory 
strikes but also effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a passage for 
roughly one-fifth of the world&#8217;s oil supply. That closure is what truly 
rattled markets. Once Bitcoin lost altitude, Ethereum followed with even more 
force. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $67,500. Ethereum, on the 
other hand, is trading at $1,975. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart
