Bitcoin<\/span> has again experienced a price decline since briefly climbing <\/span>above the $72,000 mark<\/span><\/a> on April 8. This price dip is believed to be due to a couple of factors, which no doubt present a bearish outlook for the <\/span>flagship crypto<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Inflation Data Expected To Come In Hot<\/h2>\n

The March Consumer Price Index (CPI) data is scheduled to be released on April 10. Some market experts <\/span>predict<\/span><\/a> that the report will show a rise in overall inflation. This could lead to the Federal Reserve taking a <\/span>hawkish stance<\/span><\/a> on interest rates, negatively impacting Bitcoin\u2019s price and the broader crypto market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This would explain why Bitcoin\u2019s price has declined lately, as crypto investors remain on the sidelines ahead of the <\/span>CPI report<\/span><\/a>. However, if the inflation figures come in favorable, this could restore investors\u2019 confidence in the economic situation and provide a much-needed bullish outlook for the crypto market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, considering that January and February’s inflation data exceeded expectations, it is necessary to highlight what last month\u2019s data exceeding expectations could mean in the long term. So far, <\/span>the Fed<\/span><\/a> has continued to hold interest rates steady at about 5.3%, and there was even optimism at the beginning of the year that there could be rate cuts at some point this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, with inflation continuing to stay well above the Central Bank\u2019s target of 2%, there is a growing feeling that they might be forced to take drastic measures at some point. That is ultimately not good for Bitcoin\u2019s price, especially since different crypto analysts <\/span>gave bullish predictions<\/span><\/a> partly based on their assumption that there would be several rate cuts this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spot Bitcoin ETFs Are Back In The Red<\/h2>\n

The <\/span>Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/span><\/a> have also contributed to Bitcoin\u2019s recent decline. These investment funds experienced a net outflow on April 8 and 9, leading to a significant Bitcoin dump on the market. Specifically, these outflows came from the <\/span>Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)<\/span><\/a>, which recorded an outflow of <\/span>$303.3 million<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>$154.9 million<\/span><\/a> on April 8 and 9, respectively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the <\/span>other Spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/span><\/a> have not recorded impressive inflows during this period, which shows their demand has slowed. For context, 6 out of the 10 Spot Bitcoin ETFs (excluding GBTC) recorded zero inflows on April 9, while 5 out of 10 recorded zero inflows on April 8. <\/span>BlackRock\u2019s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)<\/span><\/a> also recorded a relatively low inflow of $21.3 million that day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at around $69,300, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
