Investors withdrew about $500M from cryptocurrency products during the nine weeks that ended in mid-September, according to a CoinShares analysis. Bitcoin accounted for $450M, or 85%, of outflows.

“The bulls are now working on a fledgling price uptrend on the daily chart and have some momentum on their side,” crypto analyst Jim Wyckoff said. “More price gains in the near term would give the bulls better technical strength to better suggest a near-term price bottom is in place.”
