Despite the recent dip in Bitcoin’s price, many in the crypto community see it as a potential buying opportunity. However, on-chain data provider Santiment advises waiting for market enthusiasm to settle.

Market Sentiment and ETF Outflows

On July 3, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced net outflows of $20.5 million, signaling a lack of confidence among institutional investors. This sentiment is further evidenced by a significant Bitcoin whale who deposited an additional 1,800 BTC ($106 million) to Binance, even as Bitcoin’s price continued to decline.

Bitcoin’s Price Slump

Bitcoin’s price has been on a downward trajectory, dropping 5% in the last 24 hours and slipping below $59,000. This has broken a critical support level of $60,000, with the next support level at $57,000. The primary concern for investors now is whether to buy the dip or wait for further declines.

Santiment’s Perspective

Santiment reports heavy sell-offs in both Bitcoin and altcoins, reaching near two-month low levels. Ethereum, too, has seen a significant price drop, falling below $3,200 despite the upcoming launch of spot Ethereum ETFs on July 15.

However, Santiment suggests that while the crypto community views this as a buying opportunity, it’s prudent to wait for the initial wave of enthusiasm to pass. The ideal time to purchase, according to Santiment, is when traders become skeptical and impatient.

Impact on Altcoins and ETFs

The recent BTC price drop has triggered aggressive liquidations, particularly among traders who bought in around the $60,000 mark. This pattern is also reflected in altcoins like Ethereum and Solana, which have seen even steeper declines.

In the ETF market, Grayscale’s GBTC saw $27 million in outflows, while Fidelity’s FBTC was the only ETF to record inflows, totaling $6.5 million. All other ETFs saw no inflows, highlighting the market’s cautious stance.

Bitcoin Whale Activity

Amid the volatility, Bitcoin whale activity has surged. A major Bitcoin whale recently deposited 1,800 BTC to Binance, following a week where they transferred a total of 5,281 BTC at an average price of $61,196. This whale now holds 6,068 BTC but has suffered a loss of $20 million in the recent trades.

The whale deposited 1,800 $BTC($106M) to #Binance at a loss again 40 minutes ago.

While the current market dip presents a potential buying opportunity, it is essential for investors to exercise caution. Waiting for the market to stabilize and for trader sentiment to become more skeptical may provide a more favorable entry point. The actions of Bitcoin whales and the movement of ETFs will be critical indicators to watch in the coming days.
