ETH USD is in a similar position, having lost the $2,100 level and flirting dangerously with heavy psychological support at $2,000.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin\u2019s drop below $76,000 continues the slump that began a fortnight ago, and it\u2019s tied to heavy ETF outflows. The primary catalyst is over $1.9Bn in outflows over the last seven trading sessions, while Ethereum\u2019s bearish price action of late can be tied to a ten-day streak of negative ETF flows, with around $485M exiting the various ETH ETF funds, <a class=\"general-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/etf\/bitcoin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">per CoinGlass data<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, Solana and Ripple ETF flows are flashing green, with modest inflows in recent weeks, yet this hasn\u2019t stopped SOL or XRP from falling in price, both down around -0.5% on the day and trading at $84 and $1.32, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>In other Bitcoin news, President Trump has doubled down on the USA\u2019s commitment to crypto, saying he will not let other countries replace the US as the Bitcoin &amp; crypto capital of the world.
