In an Oct. 17 analyst&nbsp;note, CryptoQuant contributor Amr Taha <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cryptoquant.com/insights/quicktake/670f3fa056d1d03e40d77d57-Relationship-between-Bitcoin-ETF-netflow-in-USD-and-Bitcoins-price?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=quicktake&amp;utm_content=amr-taha" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://cryptoquant.com/insights/quicktake/670f3fa056d1d03e40d77d57-Relationship-between-Bitcoin-ETF-netflow-in-USD-and-Bitcoins-price?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=sns&amp;utm_campaign=quicktake&amp;utm_content=amr-taha">warned</a> that large inflows don’t always lead to lasting price surges.
“Positive netflows above 400M USD in Bitcoin ETFs do not always lead to sustained price increases and, in many cases, have historically coincided with price corrections,” Taha stated.
On Oct. 17, Cointelegraph reported that&nbsp;<a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/why-are-bitcoin-traders-worried-painful-btc-price-dip" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">Bitcoin’s significant weekly gains</a>&nbsp;have caused some market participants to worry that the market may witness one last retracement before the asset continues its rally to new all-time highs.

 “Current trading activity around $68.4k is linked to earlier volatility from July 29, when prices dropped to 49k just five days later.”
