BTC fluctuating around $87K: institutional accumulation vs. capital outflow, can regulatory positive news reverse the situation?

Question

【Crypto World】Bitcoin continues to hover around $87,000, and market sentiment is a bit complicated. On one hand, spot ETF has a single-day net outflow of $338.81 million, putting significant selling pressure; on the other hand, MicroStrategy boldly spent $980 million to buy 10,645 bitcoins in one go. Are institutions bottom-fishing or betting on the future market? This signal is quite interesting.

Good news comes from the macro front. The latest US CPI data is below expectations at only 2.7%, which could open the door for rate cuts. Once the rate cut cycle is confirmed, risk assets (including cryptocurrencies) usually see capital inflows. More importantly, the upcoming review of the Clarity Act in January is highly anticipated, and the industry generally believes it will clarify the US cryptocurrency regulatory framework, greatly increasing long-term certainty.

The current situation is that short-term liquidity is under pressure, but long-term policies and institutional confidence are accumulating. What do you think? Is this recent spot ETF outflow really a sign of pessimism, or just a short-term adjustment?

Money is flowing out, but MicroStrategy is actually picking up bargains. Who's got the right read, I wonder?

Cutting interest rates + new regulations, this combo punch is indeed fierce. Just worried it might be another false start with policy benefits repeatedly falling through.

Short-term dumping is fake; institutional accumulation is the real story.

87K feels a bit shaky; let's wait until the Clarity Act is implemented.

Spot ETF is bleeding heavily; this pace doesn't seem right.

MicroStrategy really treats BTC as a belief. I just want to see who ends up making money and who loses.

The CPI number is somewhat loosening, but whether rates will actually be cut still depends on the Fed's approval.

Institutions are both selling and buying at the same time. What do you call that—psychological warfare?

MicroStrategy's recent move is indeed quite aggressive, with 980 million directly invested, indicating that major institutions still have confidence... However, ETF outflows are also real, and it seems the market is still struggling.

Rate cuts + Clarity Act, once implemented, could be very powerful; it all depends on whether we can hold on until then.

In the short term, it's still tough, but these signals are definitely accumulating in the long run. Fellow investors still need to stay steady.

The CPI data seems to have changed many people's expectations, at least there's less worry now.

MicroStrategy wouldn't do this without a reason; they must be betting on something.

honestly the etf outflows vs microstrategy's 9.8b buy is just classic market noise... actually if you look at the on-chain liquidity patterns, there's a clear basis point spread being left on the table during these swings. the real alpha is in the flow timing, not the direction lmao

MicroStrategy's move is really aggressive; they just poured in $980 million like that. I'm wondering if this guy truly believes or is just gambling? But on the other hand, the fact that CPI has dropped to 2.7% is quite interesting. If the interest rate cut cycle really materializes... well, us retail investors will probably have to wait for the opportunity to come.
