After starting the week above $102,000 on January 6th, BTC began a downward trajectory from January 7, driven by factors such as crypto market liquidations, rising oil prices, inflation fears, and new potential pandemic concerns. Additionally, on January 8, BTC ETFS recorded a significant outflow of nearly $583 million according to SoSoValue data.
