U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw $636 million in redemptions yesterday—the largest single-day outflow since June 25—yet the price is still holding near 82K. Money is flowing out, but the market isn’t breaking. Who’s buying?

【BTC Short-Term Outlook · Personal Analysis】

▸ Key data: U.S. spot BTC ETFs recorded net outflows of $635.5 million on 10-22 (the largest single-day outflow since June 25, according to SoSoValue / Farside data); IBIT led with -$254 million, followed by FBTC at -$218 million. The previous three trading days (10-19 to 10-21) had just seen inflows of +$1.07 billion.
▸ Current market: $BTC is trading at around $81,982, with an intraday high of $82,052 and low of $80,940 (Binance); despite the outflow news, it’s still holding above 81K.
▸ Key levels: Resistance at 82.6K (sell-wall zone) → 83.4K (near the 20-day moving average); support at 81K (psychological level) → 80.9K (yesterday’s low) → 80K.
▸ Personal view (conditional): If 81K holds and ETF outflows don’t widen further, there’s potential for a short-term recovery toward 82.6K. If outflows continue and a 4-hour candle closes below 80.9K, the outlook turns bearish, with 80K in view.
▸ Invalidation level: A 4-hour candle close below 80.9K invalidates the bullish outlook and shifts the bias bearish.
▸ $ETH correlation: Around $2,414 (intraday range: $2,360 / $2,418); options max pain is at $2,400. Its momentum is tracking BTC. Watch whether the 2,366 buy-wall zone holds.

The bearish news is out, but the price isn’t falling—which side are you on: “Institutions are using the bad news to exit” or “a sign that the worst is over”? Join the discussion in the comments.
