Bitcoin fell sharply below $65,000 today after the latest U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) came in higher than expected, putting pressure on risk assets. The weak sentiment also hit spot Bitcoin ETFs, which recorded a net outflow of $27.5 million. BlackRock Bitcoin ETF led the outflow with $32.99 million, as BTC erased all its recent gains.
On February 27, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded a net outflow of $32.99 million, equal to roughly 499 BTC. Despite the single-day outflow, IBIT remains the strongest performer among U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Just one day before the outflow, IBIT attracted $275.8 million in inflows on February 26, following another $297.4 million on February 25. And finally $78.9 million on 24th Feb.
Over those three days alone, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a combined $1.1 billion in net inflows, with IBIT accounting for more than half of that total.
On-chain data shows that IBIT now holds close to 765,000 BTC, valued at more than $50 billion at current prices.
Adding to concerns, Bitcoin is on track to close February in the RED, down nearly by 17.84%. This follows a January decline of 10.1%, marking the first time in Bitcoin’s history that both January and February have ended with losses.
Historically, when February ends in red, March has often remained weak before markets stabilize.
Last year, in 2025, Bitcoin fell 17.40% in February, dropped another 2.3% in March, and later rebounded in April by 14%.
Similarly, in 2020 and 2014, February losses of 8.6% and 31% were followed by deeper March corrections of 24.9% and 17.25%.
Despite the current weakness, April historically stands out as one of Bitcoin’s strongest months. Out of 13 trading years, only 5 times April month have closed negatively, with an average gain of around 13%. If this seasonal trend holds, April could mark the beginning of a recovery phase.
For now, all eyes are on the $62,532 level. This zone acted as strong support last week. If Bitcoin falls below it, the next likely test is the $60,000 level.
On the other hand, Bitcoin needs to close this week above $70,000 to confirm the start of a recovery phase. As of now, Bitcoin is trading near $64,912, down about 4% in the past 24 hours.
Short-term outflows can pressure price, but strong multi-day inflows show institutional demand remains active overall.
Historically, February can be volatile. When it closes in red, March often stays soft before potential stabilization.
Key support sits near $62,532 and $60,000. A weekly close above $70,000 would strengthen recovery momentum.
