Analyst: 'Black Thursday' selloff did not break Bitcoin's medium-term trend

  • —Bitcoin ETF outflows topped $620 million in a day, the worst since June
  • —BTC-denominated open interest barely fell and remains above levels from two days ago
  • —Addresses holding over 1,000 BTC have grown for weeks, signaling whale accumulation
  • —A sustained break below $81,000 risks triggering another long squeeze under $80,000
Why it matters: Price and open interest holding up through record ETF outflows points to deleveraging rather than a trend reversal; the next catalyst is the US midterm elections.
