As seen in the chart below, Bitcoins price was unable to retain its bullish momentum that took it all the way to $68K.

The other end of the spectrum is analysts who claim that this is nothing but a normal correction following months of up only action. Meanwhil, spot Bitcoin ETF flows continue to be negative for the fourth day in a row.
