<p>While Bitcoin has reached record highs, volatility is expected to continue. On November 4, Bitcoin ETFs saw significant outflows, with $541.1 million leaving funds like Fidelity, ArkInvest, and Grayscale.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Meanwhile, BlackRock’s IBIT saw $38.3 million in inflows. This market uncertainty is further reflected in the Bitcoin options market, where traders are taking protective measures, as noted by Tony Stewart of Pelion Capital.</p> 
<p>Traders will keep a close eye on the election’s outcome, as Bitcoin’s price remains sensitive to shifting political and economic factors.</p>
