- Bitcoin fell below $100,000 for first time in three months amid $1T market losses and 339,448 trader liquidations, as BlackRock's ETF inflows dropped 90%. - Institutional moves like BlackRock's $213M BTC transfer to Coinbase and JPMorgan's 64% IBIT holdings increase highlight ongoing crypto exposure despite volatility. - ETFs remain resilient with BlackRock's U.S. iShares Bitcoin Trust attracting $205B in Q3 2025 inflows and Grayscale's Mini Trust seeing 15% asset growth. - Analysts warn $100,000 support

Bitcoin enthusiasts are focusing on the crucial $112,500 mark and a resurgence in ETF investments as possible triggers for a market recovery, even after the cryptocurrency recently dipped below $100,000 for the first time in a quarter. The strong institutional interest that previously fueled Bitcoin's surge has waned significantly, with BlackRock’s spot BTC ETF inflows dropping by 90%—from more than 10,000 BTC weekly to under 1,000 BTC, according to

. At the same time, BlackRock’s move to launch its iShares ETF (IBIT) in Australia in mid-November 2025, as , demonstrates that institutional appetite for regulated crypto products persists, despite ongoing market uncertainty.

The latest market downturn erased more than $1 trillion from the total crypto valuation, with Bitcoin falling 6% to $101,290 on November 4, 2025, according to

. In just 24 hours, over 339,448 traders faced liquidations, amounting to $1.3 billion in losses. BlackRock’s recent transfer of 2,042 BTC ($213 million) and 22,681 ETH ($80 million) to Coinbase, as , has heightened concerns about further declines, since significant institutional moves often signal profit-taking or portfolio adjustments. Experts caution that Bitcoin’s limited support near $100,000 could give way, potentially driving prices lower.

Despite the recent chaos, ETFs continue to be a positive force. BlackRock’s U.S. iShares Bitcoin Trust attracted $205 billion in net inflows during the third quarter of 2025, maintaining strong institutional interest, as

. JPMorgan’s most recent 13F filing showed its IBIT holdings jumped 64% from the previous quarter, now worth $343.5 million, according to , highlighting the bank’s optimistic outlook. Grayscale’s Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF also saw its net assets climb 15% to $5.46 billion as of September 30, 2025, based on a , thanks to both price gains and new share issuances.

Nevertheless, market conditions remain unstable. Ongoing U.S.-China trade disputes and the extended government shutdown have reduced investors’ willingness to take risks, according to a

, while blockchain data shows weak demand that historically coincides with local market bottoms, as Coinotag notes. Julio Moreno from CryptoQuant pointed out that current selling pressure outweighs the market’s ability to absorb it, but long-term demand growth is still present, as Coinotag’s coverage indicates.

Bitcoin’s recovery will depend on a revival of institutional buying and improvements in broader economic conditions. Should the $112,500 resistance be surpassed, analysts such as Shawn Young from MEXC Research believe a retest of the record high at $126,000 could be next, as

. For now, bullish investors are counting on ETF inflows and a turnaround in institutional sentiment to spark the next rally.
