Investors are fleeing Bitcoin at a record pace, pulling billions out of crypto funds. Even a major de-escalation in the Middle East couldn't bounce Bitcoin, suggesting investors are losing faith and prices could fall much further.

## Idea

Investors pulled a record $4 billion from Bitcoin funds in June, signaling extreme panic. This massive exodus usually feeds on itself, forcing prices down further. Even worse for crypto bulls, Bitcoin failed to bounce when stock market futures rose on news of Iran peace talks. When an asset ignores good news and keeps sliding, it means underlying selling pressure is massive. Strategists are now warning of a drop all the way down to $40,000, making the risk of further losses very real.
