Foreign media reports indicate that concerns about institutional fund movements have intensified after BlackRock clients sold approximately $177.95 million worth of Bitcoin. The fact that Bitcoin is not near its recent highs, but rather fluctuating around a key support level, has brought this transaction into sharper focus.
The article argues that a single large sell order is insufficient to define the overall trend, but given the repeated price setbacks and cautious market sentiment, the signal of institutional selling is amplified. Bitcoin's failure to regain higher resistance levels has also intensified short-term wait-and-see sentiment.
Exchanges are still experiencing net outflows.
In contrast to institutional selling, exchange fund flow data does not fully support the conclusion of "concentrated distribution." The report mentions that exchanges continue to experience net outflows, with the latest figure at approximately $17.31 million.
Typically, sustained net outflows indicate that some investors are transferring assets into private wallets rather than preparing to sell immediately. Based on this, the article argues that some funds in the market still tend to hold or buy on dips, rather than turning to a full-scale sell-off.

Price approaching the lower edge of the channel
As of press time, the report cited data indicating that Bitcoin was trading at approximately $73,397, testing the lower edge of an ascending channel, with key support around $73,800. This channel has been providing support since February, making the current level crucial for future price movements.
The article mentions that Bitcoin previously encountered resistance around $82,378 and subsequently fell back, with selling pressure gradually pushing the price down. Although the market has not yet confirmed a break below the channel, if buying pressure fails to hold the current area, the price may retrace to the $65,657 level.
From a technical perspective, the MACD remains in bearish territory, and the histogram continues to trade below the zero line, indicating weak short-term momentum. Based on this, the article concludes that the current situation is more likely a battle for support levels than a complete trend reversal.
On-chain valuations have not yet become overheated.
On-chain valuation metrics are giving relatively mild signals. The report mentions that the Bitcoin NVT Golden Cross has fallen sharply by 905.57% to -0.1688. The article argues that this typically indicates improved network activity relative to market capitalization, rather than the market entering an excessive speculative phase.
According to this metric, current valuation levels are still significantly lower than historically common overheated ranges. In other words, despite weakening prices and concerns about institutional selling, on-chain data does not yet indicate that Bitcoin has entered a state close to a temporary peak.
In summary, this article concludes that Bitcoin currently exhibits both bearish and stable signals: on one hand, institutional selling and technical pressure; on the other hand, net outflows from exchanges and on-chain valuations not being overheated. The short-term focus remains on whether the current support level can hold.
