US Bitcoin ETFs saw $902.5 million in outflows between September 22-26, ending a 4 week inflow streak, according to SoSoValue. Investor caution due to US political gridlock and Fed uncertainty.

Fidelity’s FBTC led with $737.8 million in outflows. ARK 21Shares’ ARKB saw $123.3 million, Bitwise’s BITB $92.4 million. Smaller funds like Grayscale’s GBTC, VanEck’s HODL and Franklin Templeton’s EZBC lost $127.9 million combined.

BlackRock’s IBIT bucked the trend with $173.8 million in inflows, Invesco’s BTCO added $10 million. Ethereum ETFs also struggled with $795.6 million in outflows, ending a 2 week inflow run.

Fed Caution and Trump Tariffs

Despite September’s volatility, Bitcoin ETFs still saw $2.57 billion in inflows vs $751 million in August outflows. But short term sentiment has cooled due to:

  • Fed officials, led by Jerome Powell, signaling no rate cuts.
  • Trump’s tariff package on pharmaceuticals, trucks and furniture, reigniting trade war concerns.

Together these factors have dented risk appetite and hurt crypto and equities.

  • Downside: Failure to hold $112,000 could lead to $111,000-$111,050 support.
  • Momentum: RSI at 71 is strong buying pressure but warns of overbought.
  • Trade: Buy above $112,600, stop below $111,000, target $114,000-$116,200. For now, it’s make or break.
