ETF Inflows Flip the Script
Key Highlights
• Bitcoin rockets from $109K to $120K in less than a week as ETF inflows flip positive.
• $309M in liquidations, mostly shorts, accelerate the surge.
Yello, Paradisers! For much of late September, Bitcoin ETFs looked like a leaking bucket, nearly $700 million drained out between September 22 and 26. Then, almost overnight, the tide reversed. From September 29 through October 1, inflows poured back in: $518 million, then $430 million, then a monster $676 million across BlackRock, Fidelity, and Ark. Three days of institutional cash flipping from red to green gave Bitcoin the oxygen it needed to tear through resistance.
From Panic to Parabolic
Just a week ago, Bitcoin hovered near $109,000, weighed down by government shutdown fears and persistent ETF outflows. Now, after the temporary resolution in Washington and fresh demand from big money, the market has been yanked higher by more than $10,000. The real accelerant? Short sellers getting torched. In the last 24 hours, $309 million worth of positions were liquidated, with $116 million of that pain inflicted on shorts. The forced exits acted like jet fuel on an already smoldering rally.
Technicals Align with Fear and Greed
Bitcoin now sits just shy of $120,000 with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 65, bullish, but not yet frothy. TradingView’s dashboard screams “Strong Buy,” with 14 bullish signals overwhelming a lonely neutral. Resistance lurks at $123K–$125K, but if ETF inflows keep coming, the ceiling may give way. Support is building at $115K, though few expect bears to regain control unless flows reverse sharply.
And here’s the kicker: in our last YouTube stream, we dissected the Fear & Greed Index plunging into fear territory in September, warning that the market’s psychological coiling was a spring waiting to be released. That exact setup is what unwound into this move, fear flipping into greed almost overnight.
What Comes Next
Momentum suggests the rally isn’t done, but the market remains fragile to sudden ETF flow reversals or fresh macro shocks. Traders are balancing excitement with caution, knowing October has a reputation for both breakouts and brutal retracements.
This exact setup, ETF flows, liquidation spikes, and the psychology behind fear flipping into greed, will be unpacked in full technical detail inside MCP News Private. At just $3/month (cheaper than parking fees that don’t tell you where Bitcoin’s heading), you’ll get the real-time analysis that institutions quietly pay millions for.
