Bitcoin at $83,000: ETFs lose $681 million one year after the crash

A year later. Bitcoin was trading around $83,000 on Saturday evening, 3% above its low on Thursday. The market marked the anniversary of its worst collapse that day.

However, listed funds are not following the rebound. US bitcoin ETFs lost $681 million in one week. This leak follows the slide that began below $84,000 on Wednesday.

Bitcoin at $83,000: Friday’s rebound holds up until Saturday

On Friday, bitcoin rose towards $82,000, reports CoinDesk. Donald Trump had just promised not to attack Iran before the midterm elections on November 3. But the American blockade remains in force. American crude (WTI) was still hovering around $90.70 per barrel.

The price had touched $80,300 on Thursday. Saturday evening, it was trading at $83,013 (+0.33% over 24 hours). Ether was then worth $2,504 and XRP $1.40. Thursday's bottom therefore held.

This session served as a test. In 24 hours, $1.19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated, according to CoinDesk. More than a billion came from bullish bets. Positions on bitcoin account for 298 million dollars of this total, those on ether 356 million. A liquidation occurs when the price falls below the threshold which guarantees a loan. The platform then closes the strong position, and then this sale pushes the price lower.

Bitcoin ETF: $681 million in outflows in worst week since June

US bitcoin ETFs lost $681.1 million in the week ended Friday. The Block draws this figure from SoSoValue data. Three weeks of entries therefore end there. To find worse, we have to go back to the week ending June 26 (1.79 billion dollars in outflows).

Wednesday concentrated the majority of withdrawals ($487.1 million). Friday only brought in 21.1 million admissions. The total outstanding amount still reaches $105.84 billion. On the other hand, net inflows for the year fell to 494.1 million. They reached 1.18 billion a week earlier.

One year after the crash: the $80,500 line that analysts are watching

On October 10, 2025, $19 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in one day. However, bitcoin had just set a record above $126,000. A year later, CryptoQuant noted a price stuck at $80,500. At this price, the average investor neither wins nor loses, exactly like at the end of 2025.

Ether funds did not fare any better, as their outflows for the week reached $542.1 million. Brokers cut the graph more finely. Vikram Subburaj runs the Indian platform Giottus. Quoted by CoinDesk, he first monitors the $81,000 support. Further on-chain support lies near $77,200. Finally, he advises avoiding high leverage until bitcoin has recovered to 83,300 then 85,500 dollars. He also expects clearer entries into ETFs.
