Market Performance: BTC Holds Strong Above $95K

👉 Why ETF flows are critical for Bitcoin’s next rally
ETF Flow Trends: Momentum vs. Profit-Taking
The US BTC-spot ETF market saw net inflows for two consecutive sessions (November 28–29), led by:
- iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT): $137.5M
- Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC): $106.5M
- VanEck Bitcoin Trust (HODL): $33.1M
Despite this, weekly outflows of $153.1M (ending November 29) snapped a seven-week inflow streak, likely due to profit-taking. November’s $6.68B total inflows marked a record month, with BlackRock’s IBIT capturing 80% ($5.33B).
Key Takeaway: ETF flows remain a primary driver of BTC’s price volatility and long-term valuation.
