Bitcoin price is showing bearish momentum
With Bitcoin ETFs unexpectedly attracting more and more investor attention, the price of BTC is showing some signs of trouble.
Currently trading around $62,497, after falling 0.48% in the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency remains shy of its recent peak of $66,000.
These developments coincided with a major legal decision, as the US Supreme Court recently declined to hear an appeal over the ownership of 69,370 Bitcoin initially seized from the Dark Web marketplace Silk Road.
Ethereum ETF analyzed
Unlike BTC ETFs, US spot Ethereum [ETH] ETFs experienced a lull in activity on October 7, after last seeing inflows of $7.39 million on October 4 and outflows of $3.2 million on October 3.
In addition to this quiet period, trading volume increased over nine ETH ETFs fell to reach $118.43 million, compared to $148.01 million on October 4.
Meanwhile, on the pricing front, Ethereum had fallen by 1.35%, trading at $2,436, reflecting the changing dynamics in the crypto space.
