Bitcoin ETF Inflows Snap 3-Day Streak at $167M

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs ended three straight days of outflows on March 23. Net inflows came in at $167 million. One fund drove almost all of it.

BlackRock's IBIT pulled in $160M that single session, according to Coin Bureau on X. The number closed the outflow streak for Bitcoin products. Ethereum ETFs did not get the same reversal.

71.4K Now the Level Everyone Is Watching

BTC had dipped to 68.4K over the weekend before bouncing. That retest held. Price climbed back through the CME gap and pressed into 71.4K by Monday.

">KillaXBT on X laid out the structure plainly. The 68.4K level got reclaimed, the CME gap filled on the way up, and 71.4K now sits as the first resistance area. His read: "If the grey box isn't flipped, a LH will likely form, with the trend heading toward 65.8K. So, quite the key area to observe."

That framing makes the current zone binary. Either 71.4K flips and holds, or a lower high forms. A failure there puts 65.8K back in play per KillaXBT's structure. The 68.4K retest was the setup. Now 71.4K settles the short-term direction.

Coin Bureau noted on X that Ethereum ETFs bled into a fourth straight session on March 23 with no sign of reversal. The contrast between the two assets runs sharp through this stretch. Bitcoin products attracted fresh institutional money. ETH products did not.

ETH Outflows Widen the Gap With Bitcoin

The divergence between BTC and ETH ETF flows has widened through late March. Bitcoin reclaimed 68.4K and pulled in $167M the same session. Ethereum saw no similar institutional demand shift.

Four consecutive days of outflows for ETH ETFs, as Coin Bureau flagged on X. That pattern continued without interruption while Bitcoin broke its own losing streak. The split sits open heading into the rest of the week.

Monday's inflow figure closed the outflow run for Bitcoin ETFs but left the chart question unanswered. Whether 71.4K flips or a lower high forms from here is what the next few sessions decide. The $160M single-day contribution from IBIT carried the entire headline number, according to Coin Bureau on X.

Structure remains consistent, as KillaXBT put it on X. The 68.4K retest held. The CME gap is filled. Now the grey box at 71.4K determines whether this move extends or rolls toward 65.8K.
