On February 14, Bitcoin spot ETF finally turned positive after several days of continuous outflows. According to data disclosed by Coin Bureau, the ETF saw a total net inflow of approximately $15.2 million on that day, ending the previous selling cycle. However, compared to the recent sustained outflows, this figure remains limited, and market sentiment has only experienced a slight recovery.
From a medium-term perspective, capital remains in a weak zone. Over the past week, Bitcoin ETF net outflows totaled nearly $360 million, marking the fourth consecutive week of negative flows. Such persistent outflows are uncommon in the past year. Institutional investors are clearly cautious, mostly observing rather than actively increasing their positions.
Price performance remains a key variable influencing ETF demand. Since the peak last October, Bitcoin’s price has retraced nearly 50%. Without a clear rebound trend, many funds are choosing to stay on the sidelines to avoid risk. Historical experience shows that only when price volatility stabilizes and is accompanied by sustained capital inflows will market sentiment truly shift.
It is worth noting that during previous upward cycles, Bitcoin often required stable daily inflows approaching $100 million to trigger substantial changes in price structure. In comparison, the recent $15.2 million inflow appears more like a short-term technical correction, unlikely to indicate a full recovery of institutional confidence.
Moving forward, investors will focus on whether ETF capital can form continuous inflows. If positive inflows persist over multiple days, market expectations may gradually improve; conversely, if flows turn negative again, volatility could continue. Currently, Bitcoin ETFs are at a critical observation point, with the direction still unclear, and short-term caution remains warranted due to potential emotional swings.
