On Oct 20th, 2025, the crypto ETFs experienced an outflow of $186.1 million, where Bitcoin witnessed $40.4 million and Ethereum $145 million. The data was recorded from the coinmarketcap.com
Ethereum faced the most outflows compared to Bitcoin. Currently, Ethereum is trading at $4,019, down by more than 2% in a week due to global tensions and China/US tariffs turmoil, at the time of writing.
Despite maintaining a robust market cap of $485.52 and 24-hour trading volume of $45.89, investor sentiment remains cautious amid China–US tariff uncertainties and broader market risk aversion.
Despite outflows, Bitcoin surged 1.32% in a day to $112,112, showing renewed buying interest around the $110K zone — a key psychological level. Traders described the action as a “tug-of-war” between bulls and bears, as liquidity on exchanges thickened and derivative funding rates turned negative, hinting at hedging behavior.
Meanwhile, gold fell 5.5% from recent highs, one of its sharpest single-day drops of the year — reinforcing a risk-on shift toward digital assets. Analysts suggest that cooling momentum in gold could temporarily favor crypto markets, with Bitcoin and Ethereum likely to benefit from renewed speculative inflows if volatility persists.
Gold Market Cap Tumbled by 5% in 24-hours
On the daily chart, XAU formed a sharp bearish engulfing candle, breaking below $4,150, a key short-term support aligned with the 20-day EMA.
- Immediate support: $4,000 – a crucial Fibonacci retracement level (38.2% from recent rally).
- Next support zone: $3,880 – if this fails, deeper correction toward $3,700 could follow.
- Resistance: $4,200 and $4,300 remain critical for bulls to reclaim momentum.
RSI has dropped from overbought (70) to near 55, confirming fading bullish strength, while volume spikes signal heavy profit-booking.
Analysts warn that a sustained move below $4,000 may confirm a short-term double-top pattern, increasing downside pressure toward mid-range supports. However, long-term fundamentals remain positive amid central bank accumulation and inflation concerns.
