Bitcoin has crashed below $69,000 to a two-month low as big-money investors pulled $3.4 billion out of Bitcoin ETFs over 11 straight days. On top of that, the infamous Mt. Gox exchange just moved $739 million of Bitcoin out of cold storage, hinting they may soon dump it on the market to repay creditors.

## Idea

Three big red flags are stacking up for Bitcoin at the same time. First, institutional investors have been yanking money out of Bitcoin ETFs for 11 days straight — the longest and largest pullback since those funds launched — draining $3.4 billion. Second, Mt. Gox just moved $739 million worth of Bitcoin for the first time in months, which historically signals they're about to distribute coins to creditors who often sell immediately. Third, the money leaving crypto is actively rotating into the AI stock rally instead. When institutional demand dries up and a fresh wave of selling hits the market at the same time, prices tend to keep sliding.
