Bitcoin's recent decline below $60,000 was mainly caused by institutional selling through spot bitcoin ETFs following higher-than-expected U.S. inflation data in April. Since the May 12 inflation report, U.S.-listed bitcoin ETFs saw $5.4 billion in net redemptions, while one major buyer, Strategy, accumulated about $2 billion in bitcoin. The upcoming May CPI report is crucial, as inflation above 4% could signal prolonged Federal Reserve rate hikes, potentially pressuring bitcoin further. Despite a possible short-term bounce, sustained recovery depends on inflation trends and ETF flows remain the key indicator to watch.
