$BTC drops under $87,000
Bitcoin just lost the $87k level today (Jan 25), and this move isnât random. This is a classic risk-off flush, driven mainly by institutional flows.
Hereâs whatâs pushing BTC down:
1ď¸âŁ ETF Outflows (The Real Pressure)
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are seeing heavy selling.
âĄď¸ About $1.7B has flowed OUT since Jan 16.
These ETFs are the gateway for Wall Street money â when they sell, it creates real supply that retail canât absorb fast enough.
2ď¸âŁ Trade War Fears (Greenland Tariffs)
Trumpâs renewed tariff threats toward Europe are spooking global markets. In macro stress moments, Bitcoin still trades like a high-beta risk asset, not a safe haven.
3ď¸âŁ Fed Anxiety
Traders are bracing for this weekâs Fed decision. Higher-for-longer rates = less appetite for volatile assets like crypto.
4ď¸âŁ Technical Breakdown
BTC failed twice at the $96kâ$98k resistance. That rejection triggered liquidations and short-term panic selling.
The takeaway:
This isnât Bitcoin âfailing.â Itâs ETF-driven distribution + leverage getting flushed ahead of major macro events.
Volatility is the price of holding an asset outside the legacy system.
