In an Oct. 17 analyst note, CryptoQuant contributor Amr Taha warned 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 Bitcoin’s significant weekly gains 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.
