Bitcoin (BTC) is in the red today, continuing the recent selloff. When going to press, Bitcoin was trading at $69,347.71, down 4.44% intraday. While the price continues to drop, Bitcoin trading volumes have shot up, rising 95.05% to $47.91 billion. Rising volumes while prices drop indicate that holders are selling their Bitcoin in anticipation of further sell-offs. Going forward, Bitcoin could face more corrections.

Bitcoin ETF Outflows Pushing the Price Lower

A major factor driving this possibility is that Bitcoin ETFs are recording strong outflows. As capital continues to exit Bitcoin ETFs, the pressure on the price has led to several key support levels being broken. Recently, Bitcoin broke through a key support at $75,527. Today, June 2, Bitcoin has broken a key psychological support level at $70k. As ETF outflows intensify, lower price targets could be hit in the short term.

Clearly Defined Support Drawing In Short Sellers

Such a selloff could gain weight given that multiple analysts are now pointing to $65k and $62k as the next key support levels. Such predictions could send Bitcoin lower by prompting more holders to exit their positions to preserve capital. Such predictions and clearly identifiable support levels could embolden short sellers to increase their positions on Bitcoin. The result is a self-fulfilling prediction that keeps driving the price lower. 

Geopolitical Risks Weighing Heavily on Bitcoin

Outside of ETF exits and retail selloffs driven by predictions of further downside, the geopolitical landscape is affecting Bitcoin’s outlook. Recently, stock indices have been on a strong bull rally on hopes that the Iran/US war was finally coming to an end.

However, Bitcoin did not make much of a gain. Now, stock markets are cooling amid fears of renewed aggression in the Middle East. This, after Iran allegedly denied having a deal with the US. This growing caution is putting even more pressure on Bitcoin, as its price action was already weak. In the event of a selloff across markets, Bitcoin could see more panic exits, sending the price much lower in the short term. 

Possible Short Squeeze Could Send Bitcoin Higher

However, there is potential for a rebound despite the overall bearish sentiment. A key factor that could trigger such a rebound is the announcement of a real deal in the Middle East. This could send risk-on sentiment rocketing to new highs in the short term.

While stock indices would like to rally to new highs first, cryptocurrencies could follow as well. Under its current price setup, such a price rally could trigger a short squeeze in Bitcoin, sending it back above $75k. Such a squeeze has occurred multiple times in the past when analysts expected more downside. 

Technical Analysis – Bitcoin Trending Towards Key Support Level

Bitcoin continues to face downside pressure since breaking the $75,527 support level. If the selloff continues, Bitcoin could be headed to the $65,768 support in the short term.

However, if there is a rebound back above the $70k psychological support level, a rebound back to $75,527 could now trigger resistance. While either of these two scenarios could play out, the odds are higher that the correction will continue to $65,768. That’s because of the heavy outflows from Bitcoin ETFs, which are putting significant downside pressure on Bitcoin.
