<p>Despite the significant cash inflows to BlackRock’s IBIT since trading, the notable cash outflows from Grayscale’s GBTC have significantly weighed down the bullish sentiment. According to the latest market data, the US spot Bitcoin ETFs registered a net cash outflow of about $127 million, which mostly came from ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the US spot Ether ETFs have now registered eight consecutive cash outflows, led by Grayscale’s ETHE. On Tuesday, the US spot Ether ETFs recorded a net cash outflow of about $3.45 million, thus the total outflow to date amounting to around $482 million.</p>

<p>The crypto market has suffered low bullish sentiment despite the anticipated interest rate cuts in the United States as early as next month. According to a popular analyst Peter Brandt, Ethereum price has confirmed a bearish outlook after consistently closing below the support/resistance level around $2,814.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Brandt argues that ETH price had been forming a reversal pattern, characterized by a double top coupled with a bearish divergence on the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI).</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Bitcoin price is expected to continue consolidating in an inverted triangle possibly until the fourth quarter when the bulls are expected to regain control.</p>
