Bitcoin's Future Price Trajectory Amid Cooling Inflation and Slowing Demand
Bitcoin's recovery remains fragile, lacking sustained upward momentum due to weak spot demand in the U.S. and volatile ETF flows. Despite CPI data showing inflation cooling to 2.4%, the Coinbase Premium Index remains negative, indicating Bitcoin is trading at a lower price in the U.S. compared to offshore markets. As of February 13, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $410 million, with cumulative net outflows over two days nearing $686 million. Concurrently, persistent negative net trading volume (often below -$200 million) suggests selling pressure is capping Bitcoin's upside potential.
