FOMC

Bitcoin ETF

Bitcoin

Investment products focused on digital assets have seen a significant outflow of $600 million. This is the largest since March 22, 2024, and is likely a result of a more hawkish-than-anticipated FOMC meeting. This has created a bearish trap in the BTC/USDT market.

The crypto market is in the red today. The reason? FOMC market effects. The market has shed millions in losses, and investors have pulled back investments.&nbsp; Due to recent outflows and a price sell-off, total assets under management (AUM) tanked from over $100 billion to $94 billion in just one week.

A significant amount of money, totaling $621 million, was withdrawn from Bitcoin (BTC). Investors are showing a bearish sentiment, resulting in $1.8 million flowing into short-Bitcoin products. This suggests that some investors are anticipating further price declines.

However, it is significantly higher than the US$2bn per week recorded last year.&nbsp;

Digital asset exchange-traded products (ETPs) continue to hold a consistent 31% share of global trading volumes on reputable exchanges. 
From a regional perspective, the United States experienced the highest outflows, amounting to a total of $565 million. However, it is important to highlight that the negative sentiment was not exclusively concentrated in the US. Canada, Switzerland, and Sweden experienced outflows of $15m, $24m, and $15m, respectively. Germany went against the norm and saw inflows of US$17m.

At the FOMC meeting on Wednesday last week, Powell announced that the current interest rates will remain unchanged at between 5.25% and 5.5%. He added, “Inflation has eased over the past year but remains elevated.”&nbsp; 
According to Fed Chair Jerome Powell, central bankers are currently monitoring the progress in reducing inflation before considering a rate cut.

On Monday, markets witnessed the worst trading in 48 hours. Onchain data shows a bearish trap detected in the BTC/USDT market. The recent decline to $66K indicates an oversold crypto market present. 
This decline appears to be a classic bearish trap aimed at shaking out inexperienced crypto traders. The oversold RSI suggests a potential rebound. Other than that, the majority of the crypto market is in the red.
