 We are now eight months into 2024, and all of Bitcoin's gains for the year occurred during the first two months. Since the end of Feb., despite the launch of 11 Bitcoin ETFs, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> is down 8%. Over the same six months, the price of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/gold?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#gold</a> is up 23%. The momentum has turned.

Schiff <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/peter-schiff-celebrates-golds-peak-as-bitcoin-struggles/">noted</a> a shift in momentum for Bitcoin. Despite a recovery from a significant downturn in early August, Bitcoin closed the month down by 8.74%, presenting a challenge for investors who support the cryptocurrency’s growth potential. 
Historically, September has often been a difficult month for Bitcoin, with the cryptocurrency seldom posting gains. 
Specific past instances include a 13.91% drop in 2019 and a 19.31% fall in 2014. However, this September might differ as the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates, which may influence the cryptocurrency’s performance positively. 
Further reflecting challenges for Bitcoin are the recent trends in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds have been instrumental in <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/peter-schiff-challenges-bitcoin-bullish-sentiment-amid-market-slump-questions-real-institutional-demand-for-cryptocurrency/">raising interest in Bitcoin</a>, helping drive its price to a peak in March.&nbsp; 
Nevertheless, recent developments have seen a decline in interest. Last week, <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/peter-schiffs-warning-are-bitcoin-etf-investors-at-risk-compared-to-gold/">Bitcoin ETFs</a> reported outflows totaling $277 million. Notably, BlackRock’s IBIT experienced its second day of outflows last week.

The current price of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is approximately $33.37 USD, showing a slight decrease of 0.95% at the market close. During after-hours trading, the price increased slightly to $33.55 USD, up 0.54%.&nbsp; 
The day’s trading range was between $32.84 and $34.07 USD. Over the past 52 weeks, IBIT has traded between $22.02 and $41.99 USD. The fund currently holds net assets of $22.56 billion, and the average daily trading volume is around 26.46 million shares.

The comparative analysis of Bitcoin against traditional assets such as gold and the patterns observed in ETF flows provide a clear picture of the current market sentiment and the challenges Bitcoin faces.&nbsp; 
As market watchers anticipate the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, the broader implications for Bitcoin’s market positioning through the end of the year become a focal point for both investors and analysts.
