On Thursday, Bitcoin fell to $111,063, continuing a four-day losing streak. Traders are offloading risks ahead of important inflation data in the U.S. and closing leveraged positions that have largely contributed to the recent market rally.

The world's largest cryptocurrency has fallen nearly 6% from last week's highs. Investors have faced outflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs), massive liquidations, and unstable technical signals.

This decline marks the sharpest drop in Bitcoin over the month and leaves the token's price just above the closely watched support level at $110,000. Traders say that a breach of this threshold could pave the way to $108,000, while any recovery above $113,500 could alleviate selling pressure.

The sell-off reflects growing caution ahead of the release on Friday of new inflation data in the U.S. This data is likely to determine the Federal Reserve's next steps, as traders are divided on whether rate cuts will happen sooner or later. Fed Chair Jerome Powell warned that "there is no risk-free path" to balancing growth and inflation, and this statement has affected risk assets from stocks to cryptocurrencies.

"Three short-term risks dominate: Bitcoin trading at $111,000, Ethereum clinging to $4,000, and ETF flows," said Timothy Misir, head of research at BRN. "If this data is lost, momentum could accelerate downward. For now, the battleground is defined by the range of $111,115–$113,500."

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tracking Bitcoin have recorded outflows of $466 million in recent days, significantly dampening the optimism that had emerged around these products at the beginning of this year. Withdrawals are occurring even amid a brief resurgence of inflows in the middle of the week, primarily thanks to the iShares Bitcoin Trust from BlackRock, which surpassed $120 million.

The difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum is also striking. While Bitcoin ETFs returned $241 million on Wednesday, funds tied to Ethereum lost $79 million, marking the third consecutive day of outflows. FETH from Fidelity and ETHA from BlackRock led the outflows, highlighting the divergence in investor sentiment between the two leading digital assets.

The consequences of one of the largest liquidations of cryptocurrency assets in 2025 exacerbate concerns. Earlier this week, positions using borrowed funds worth more than $1.6 billion were liquidated as Bitcoin fell from the mark of $115,000. Ethereum took the brunt: more than $500 million had to sell their assets. According to CoinGlass data, this wave of liquidations has become the most powerful this year and demonstrated how quickly leverage can amplify fluctuations in cryptocurrency markets.


"The danger is that when prices fall, leveraged players are forced to sell, which accelerates the decline," said one London-based crypto trader. "It’s the same spiral we saw at the end of 2021 — too much borrowed money chased the rally."

Ethereum traded around $3,966, down 4.6% after briefly dipping below the $4,000 mark, the lowest level in seven weeks. The second-largest cryptocurrency lost nearly 9% in less than a week, undermined by both large liquidations and outflows from ETFs. Other tokens also weakened: Solana fell 3.2%, Cardano 2.7%, Polygon 2.5%, and Dogecoin 2%. XRP has remained stable at around $2.85.

The decline in the rate has reduced the total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market by more than $200 billion, dropping it below $4 trillion. Despite the pullback, Bitcoin is still up about 77% year-on-year, while Ethereum has gained 57%, outpacing the S&P 500 index's 16% growth over the same period.

The charts show a clear downward trend for Bitcoin after peaking on September 19 at around $117,000. The token has formed a pattern of lower highs and lower lows — a classic bearish pattern. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped to 42, reflecting weakening buying interest, while the MACD has turned negative, reinforcing the weak momentum.

Currently, traders are caught between looming macroeconomic events, unstable technical indicators, and significant flows of derivatives. Bitcoin's ability to hold above $111,000 may determine whether the market stabilizes or rolls back to $108,000. Ethereum has its own difficulties: persistent outflows from ETFs and a fragile barrier at $4,000.

Despite the turbulence, some investors argue that the long-term outlook remains unchanged. This year, Bitcoin surged amid expectations of regulatory clarity, increased institutional adoption, and hopes for a Federal Reserve policy easing. However, given that inflation data and Federal Reserve decisions are still pertinent, cryptocurrency markets seem poised for further instability before the next clear trend emerges.
