Investors poured $999 million into the funds on Sept. 21 and another $714.8 million a day later, figures from tracker SoSoValue<a href="https://beincrypto.com/bitcoin-etf-inflows-stall-september-burst/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">show</a>. The 13 sessions since then added only about $234 million combined, daily data from Farside Investors<a href="https://farside.co.uk/btc/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">indicate</a>.
A $148.7 million outflow on Sept. 30 ended the run of gains, and a brief rebound on Oct. 1 and 2 faded within days. Redemptions of $484.9 million on Oct. 7 <a href="https://decrypt.co/380640/bitcoin-ethereum-solana-etfs-red-october" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">marked</a> the worst session for the funds since June, and another $244.1 million left the next day. The week closed roughly $680 million in the red, the biggest weekly outflow since late June.
Friday offered only a small reprieve.
The funds took in $21.1 million on Oct. 9, as BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) added $22.4 million and Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund lost $3.6 million. Nine of the 12 funds reported no flows at all. Across the full week, IBIT finished roughly flat, while the Fidelity fund shed about $380 million, more than half of the net outflow.

<h2 id="citi-bitcoin-forecast">Citi Bitcoin Forecast</h2>
Bitcoin climbed back above $83,000 over the weekend while U.S. markets were closed, so ETF buyers have yet to confirm the move. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades<a href="https://coincentral.com/bitcoin-btc-price-bulls-defend-key-82k-support-level-as-etf-money-returns/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> weekly closes above that level would favor bulls in the short term, though rising 200-day averages often get tested after a breakout from a bear trend.
Bigger bullish forecasts lean on that demand. In a note dated Sept. 30, Citigroup raised its 12-month Bitcoin target to $113,000 from $82,000, expecting about $5 billion of crypto inflows over the next year as financial advisers and brokerages gradually add exposure.
Traders now <a href="https://financefeeds.com/bitcoin-price-83000-week-ahead-cpi-bank-earnings-bull-87500-bear-80000/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">face</a> September consumer price data on Oct. 14, the same morning BlackRock, the largest spot Bitcoin ETF issuer, reports quarterly results.
In mid-September, heavy outflows followed the Senate's failed cloture vote on the Clarity Act, before the funds strung together a nine-session inflow streak worth roughly $3 billion. October has erased much of that, leaving the funds with $386.3 million in net outflows through the first seven trading days of the month.
