Bitcoin price forecast: BTC could dip lower as ETF demand fades image 0

Key takeaways

BTC is trading above $109k, down 5% in the last seven days.
The demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs has declined as Powell said another rate cut in December is uncertain.

Demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs declines

The demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs has declined over the past few days amid the current financial climate. Fed Chair Jerome Powell revealed earlier this week that it remains unclear if there will be another rate cut in December.

Data obtained from CryptoQuant’s latest weekly report shows that U.S. investor demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs has cooled sharply. Spot bitcoin ETFs posted a seven-day average outflow of 281 BTC, one of the weakest readings since April. Meanwhile, Ether inflows have stalled over the last seven days.

The report added that Coinbase premiums for BTC and ETH have flattened to near zero, and the CME futures basis has dropped to multi-year lows. These data show that institutional and retail traders alike are taking profits rather than adding exposure.

According to Glassnode, Bitcoin continues to struggle below the short-term holders’ cost basis of around $113,000, with the coin’s long-term holders still distributing roughly 104,000 BTC per month.

Transfer volumes from whale wallets to exchanges have surged to $293 million a day, suggesting that investors are taking profit rather than increasing exposure to the market.

Bitcoin could dip to $102,000 if it closes below key support

The BTC/USD 4-hour chart remains bearish and efficient as it is down 1% in the last 24 hours. The monthly candle will close in a few hours and could indicate how the market will react in the near term.

If Bitcoin continues its correction and closes the candle below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $106,453, it could extend its dip towards the October 10 low of $102,000.

The RSI of 46 is below the neutral 50, indicating bearish momentum is gaining traction. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) lines are also converging, suggesting a bearish trend.

However, if Bitcoin holds the support level at $106,453, it could rally towards the 50-day EMA at $112,872 over the next few hours and days.

Goldman Sachs analyst Bobby Molavi compared the current situation to the 19th-century British railway mania: 500 companies spent more than the nation's annual income building 8,000 miles of railway, with most early investors losing out, while the real beneficiaries were the later "passengers." He pointed out that the current AI craze is driven by both debt and momentum, and that the S&P 500’s forward P/E ratio of 18x is only "a bit cheaper." Whether the builders can retain value is uncertain, and history does not offer an optimistic answer.

The AI boom may follow the path of the 19th-century railway bubble, and builders may not be the ultimate winners

If Anthropic's IPO goes smoothly and the stock price rises next week, then everything remains the same for AI. Otherwise, some companies will go bankrupt.

The shrinking valuations of two major giants have triggered a chain reaction—investors are adopting more conservative revenue multiples for AI startups and are directly halting high-valuation financing for companies with zero revenue. Multiple venture capital firms have advised their portfolio companies to lower valuation expectations and to quickly build up cash reserves. Market participants warn that the outcome of Anthropic’s IPO will be a barometer for the industry: if successful, the boom will continue; if it fails, some companies may face elimination.

Corning (GLW.US) receives initial "Buy" rating from Jefferies! AI factories driving a fiber optic rush, with a potential global supply gap of up to 30%

For Corning, the recent profit growth mainly comes from the expansion of AI clusters. As the number of optical links crossing cabinets and campuses increases, customers need to deploy more optical fibers within limited conduit and cabinet space, thus driving demand for high-density optical cables and connection systems.
