Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Drops 3% Even As Bitcoin ETFs Break Six-Day Outflow Streak

The Bitcoin price dropped 3% in the last 24 hours to trade at $102,964.80 on a 48% plunge in trading volume to $58.86 billion.

That came even as US spot BTC ETFs (exchange-traded funds) ended a six-day outflow streak on Thursday with $239.9 million in net inflows

Investors had pulled more than $2 billion from the funds in the previous seven days, recording the second-worst weekly outflow since the products launched last year. 

Bitcoin On-Chain Signals Show Market Nerves

On-chain data echoes the cautious mood. There has been a noticeable drop in large Bitcoin wallet activity, suggesting that whales are not aggressively buying the dip. Instead, the flow of coins from ETFs to exchanges has increased, typically a bearish sign as holders seek to sell or transfer assets out of passive vehicles.​

Despite the ETF selloff, not all signals are negative. Some investors are using the downturn to accumulate, as evidenced by steady inflows into select ETF products and on-chain wallets. However, the continued pressure from major sellers and the absence of strong institutional demand mean that the recovery remains fragile.​

BTC Price Prediction: Key Levels to Watch

Bitcoin’s price outlook for the weeks ahead is still cloudy. After the recent dip, BTC trades just above $100,500, close to its 50-week simple moving average (SMA) at $102,917, which is a critical support for bulls. 

If Bitcoin falls below this level, the $99,000–$100,000 range becomes the last technical zone before a possible test of $92,000, noted by several analysts as a “CME gap” target on the futures market.​​

Technical indicators are mixed: The RSI is at 43.7, showing weak momentum but not yet oversold territory.​ MACD is negative, signaling sellers still have the upper hand.​

The Bitcoin price is sitting right on the lower boundary of a multi-month ascending channel, which could be a make-or-break point for the current trend.​ If Bitcoin manages to stay above the 50-week SMA and hold the lower trendline, buyers may try to push the price back toward resistance at $106,000 and then $110,000, as forecast by several market experts.

However, if ETF outflows continue and broader market sentiment stays defensive, the risk of a fresh drop remains. In this scenario, the next key support is at $92,000, below which even deeper losses are possible given poor liquidity and little conviction among new buyers.​​

Custom price prediction models suggest a wide trading range in November 2025. Most experts expect BTC’s minimum price to be around $103,746, with a possible rebound toward $119,165 if conditions improve. On the downside, if sellers break the $99,000 zone, expect a swift move to $92,000 before any major recovery attempt.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
