Investors are pulling record amounts of money out of Bitcoin funds — $3.4 billion in 11 straight days of selling — while piling into AI stocks instead. Bitcoin has dropped below $71,000.

## Idea

Money is leaving Bitcoin at a record pace — $3.4 billion drained from ETFs over 11 consecutive sessions, the longest streak since these funds launched. At the same time, a major corporate holder (Strategy) disclosed its first-ever Bitcoin sale, adding selling pressure. The driver isn't a crypto crash trigger per se, but a deliberate rotation: investors are chasing the red-hot AI trade and don't want crypto exposure anymore. When institutional flows reverse this sharply, bounces tend to get sold into rather than sustained. This sets up a fade-the-bounce trade — wait for Bitcoin to pop on short covering, then bet it continues lower.
