$1.26B Bitcoin ETF outflows spark ‘contrarian’ buy signal: Santiment

Ongoing Bitcoin ETF outflows have historically “correlated with conditions favorable for patient accumulation rather than panic," according to Santiment.

The recent streak of outflows from US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs, totaling more than $1 billion over the past trading week, suggests a potential buying opportunity for the world’s largest cryptocurrency, according to crypto sentiment platform Santiment.
