Bitcoin Holds Support After BlackRock's Big ETF Sell-Off
Bitcoin is wobbling but holding a key support level after a huge wave of selling, which is bad news short-term but not a sign the long-term trend is broken.
- BlackRock and other ETF providers sold hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin on Friday, driven by investors cashing out of ETF shares, not a change in BlackRock's own outlook.
- That dump added to pressure already caused by a recent Binance hack and a rough couple of days in US tech stocks.
- Bitcoin broke below a support zone and is now resting on a lower level, with weak upward momentum expected to continue for now.
- Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Chainlink are all showing the same pattern of weakness, with modest bounces possible but no strong rally expected.
- The weekend offers a pause since US stock and ETF markets are closed, which could mean calmer price action until markets reopen.
Outlook: Expect a small relief bounce or sideways drift through the weekend, with another test of lower support likely once stock markets reopen next week.
