Bitcoin’s Institutional Tug-of-War: ETF Outflows Meet Technical Support

BTCUSD pared most of its gains on weak institutional demand.  It reaches an low of  $78750 and is currently trading at roughly $79445.

Over the five trading days ending May 12, 2026, US spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen a dramatic shift in attitude, with around USD 602.6 million in net outflows. As Bitcoin prices fell below the USD 80,000 mark, this downward trend, mostly driven by large redemptions from heavyweights such as Fidelity's FBTC and BlackRock’s IBIT, broke a strong USD 1.7 billion inflow run. Although the cumulative 10-day net is still positive at USD 926.4 million, the recent increase in outflows, peaking at USD 257.7 million on May 7, points to aggressive profit-taking and a decrease in investor appetite given the increased market volatility.

 Major support- $76000/ $74800/$74000/$73290/$70000/$67000/$64000/$60000. Minor bullishness only above $81000. Any break above targets $85890/$90000.

It is good to buy on dips around $78000 with SL around $76000 for a TP of $90000.
