Opeyemi savors his attraction to the crypto market, which explains why he spends the better parts of his day looking through different price charts. “Looking” is a rather simple way to describe analyzing and interpreting various price patterns and chart formations. However, it appears that is not Opeyemi’s favorite part – in fact, far from it.

Being able to connect what happens on a price chart to on-chain movements and blockchain activities is what keeps Opeyemi ticking. “This emphasizes the intricacies of blockchain technology and the cryptocurrency market,” he would say. Most importantly, Opeyemi thinks of any market insights as the gospel, while recognizing that he is only a messenger.

When he is not clicking away at his keyboard, Opeyemi is most definitely listening to music, playing games, reading a book, or scrolling through X. He likes to think he is not loyal to a particular genre of music, which can be true on many days. However, the fast-rising Afrobeats genre is a staple in Opeyemi’s Spotify Daily Mix.

Meanwhile, Opeyemi is a voracious reader who enjoys a wide category of books – ranging from science fiction, fantasy, and historical, to even romance. He believes that authors like George R. R. Martin and J. K.
Rowling are the greatest of all time when it comes to putting pen to paper. Opeyemi believes his reading of the Harry Potter series twice is proof of that.

Indeed, Opeyemi enjoys spending most of his time within the four walls of his home. However, he also sometimes finds solace in the company of his friends at a bar, a restaurant, or even on a stroll. In essence, Opeyemi’s ambivert (haha! been searching for an opportunity to use the word to describe myself) nature makes him a social chameleon who is able to quickly adapt to different settings.

Opeyemi recognizes the need to constantly develop oneself in order to stay afloat in a competitive and ever-evolving market like crypto. For this reason, he is always in learning mode, ready to pick up the slightest lesson from every situation. Opeyemi is efficient and likes to deliver all that is required of him in time – he believes that “whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.” Hence, you will always find him striving to be better.

Ultimately, Opeyemi is a good writer and an even better person who is trying to shed light on an exciting world phenomenon – cryptocurrency. He goes to bed every day with a smile of satisfaction on his face, knowing that he has done his bit of the holy assignment – spreading the crypto gospel to the rest of the world.

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the U.S. recorded outflows of over $300 million this week as global macroeconomic events sparked uncertainty over short-term direction.

After closing the historically bearish September with over $1.1 billion in inflows, roughly $388.4 million moved out of the 12-spot Bitcoin ETF funds between Oct. 1 and Oct. 3 coinciding with the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, which pushed Bitcoin’s price to a weekly low of $60,047.

On Oct. 4, better-than-expected U.S. payroll data brought some relief to the market, allowing Bitcoin to reclaim the $62,000 level, while ETF products saw $25.59 million in inflows. 

However, this recovery wasn’t enough to fully offset the impact of the three-day outflow streak. 

Since Sept. 13, three consecutive weeks of inflows brought in about $1.91 billion into spot Bitcoin ETFs, but this week’s outflows caused these funds to end the first week of October in negative territory, with $301.54 million flowing out, according to SoSoValue data.

Underlining the last trading day’s activity, Bitwise’s BITB saw the most inflows, while seven out of the twelve Bitcoin ETF products, including BlackRock’s IBIT, saw no movement.

• Bitwise’s BITB led with inflows of $15.29 million.
• Fidelity’s FBTC, $13.63 million.
• ARK and 21Shares’ ARKB saw its first inflow this week, bringing in $5.29 million.
• VanEck’s BTCW, $5.29 million.
• Grayscale’s GBTC recorded outflows of $13.91.

Analysts point to key levels

Besides the ETF market, some selling pressure also came from Bitcoin miners, who, according to crypto analyst Ali, have offloaded approximately $143 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) since Sept. 29. See below:

The selling activity could intensify, according to Ali, who pointed out in a subsequent X post that Bitcoin had been trading below the short-term holders’ realized price, which currently stands at $63,000.

This price represents the average cost at which short-term investors acquired their Bitcoin, and when the market dips below it, these holders are more inclined to sell in an attempt to minimize losses—risking a “cascading sell-off” that could exert further selling pressure.

As such, Ali advised investors to watch the $63,000 mark as the next key level that BTC needs to conquer to avoid further losses.

On the other hand, Crypto analyst Immortal pointed to a slightly higher short-term target of $64,000, adding that if the flagship cryptocurrency manages to break above this key resistance level, it could signal the beginning of a strong bullish move.

However, on a longer time frame, experts remain optimistic, citing Bitcoin’s historical Q4 performance and expectations of U.S. rate cuts, which could drive prices toward the $72,000 range despite short-term volatility.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was hovering just above $62,200, marking a drop of over 5% in the past week.

Meanwhile, market sentiment appears to be picking up, with the Fear and Greed Index nudging back to a neutral 49, up from a more cautious 41 the previous day, per data from Alternative.
