The cryptocurrency market has been hit with another wave of sell pressure as both the Bitcoin and Ethereum prices plunged sharply, triggering widespread panic and uncertainty<\/a>. With over $536 million in Spot Bitcoin ETF outflows in a single day, the downturn has sparked renewed fears of an extended bearish phase<\/a>. Analysts are calling this correction a \u201cBloody Friday,\u201d a less but still severe reflection of last week\u2019s brutal selloff that wiped billions in the market and saw BTC and ETH spiraling downwards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

ETF Outflows Trigger Bitcoin And Ethereum Price Crash<\/b>\u00a0<\/h2>\n

The recent crash in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices is being attributed to recent large-scale outflows from US Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/a>. Crypto analyst Jana on X social media described<\/a> the event as one of the bloodiest weekly downturns of the quarter, with Bitcoin tumbling<\/a> 13.3% in seven days and Ethereum sliding 17.8% over the past month. At press time, Bitcoin is trading slightly above $106,940 while Ethereum sits around $3,870, both suffering steep retracements from their recent highs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Data from SoSoValue twelve US Bitcoin ETFs, eight registered major outflows, led by $275.15 million leaving Ark & 21Shares\u2019 ARKB<\/a>, followed by $132 million from Fidelity\u2019s FBTC. Notably, funds managed by other major companies like Grayscale, BlackRock, Bitwise, VanEck, and Valkyrie also reported significant withdrawals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These persistent outflows have now stretched into their third consecutive day, with October 17, just a day ago, recording a massive outflow of $366.5 million. The sustained negative ETF flows<\/a> underscore waning investor confidence and suggest that the broader market downturn could continue in the near term. Combined with the $19 billion liquidation event<\/a> last Friday, increased outflows in ETFs could put more selling pressure on the already fragile market.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Experts Warn Of Deeper Market Pain Ahead<\/b><\/h2>\n

Many experts believe that the crypto market may still have more room for a decline<\/a>. Data from Polymarket, one of the world\u2019s largest prediction platforms, show<\/a> that 52% of participants expect Bitcoin to drop below $100,000 before the end of October. Veteran economist and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has also warned<\/a> that the coming months could be catastrophic for the industry, predicting widespread bankruptcies, defaults, and layoffs as Bitcoin and Ethereum face another major leg down.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, technical analysts are pointing to signs of deeper weakness in Ethereum\u2019s structure<\/a>. According to Crypto Damus, Ethereum has broken key weekly support and is displaying a bearish setup on the charts. He says<\/a> that MACD is about to \u201ccross red,\u201d leaving a significant amount of room for a crash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Other analysts like Marzell have echoed<\/a> similar concerns, stating that Ethereum is now nearing a \u201ccrash zone.\u201d However, he also highlighted the $3,690 – $3,750 range as a possible short-term demand area where buyers could step in again and trigger the next leg up.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
