Bitcoin's apparent demand has fallen to a 2026 low, with a 30-day net outflow of nearly -147,000 BTC as of May 25, 2026, according to analyst Darkfost. This reading marks the weakest level since December 2025, indicating sustained pressure below key support levels. Traders are monitoring whether the price can hold above the next support level or face a deeper pullback toward resistance.

BlockBeats news, on May 25, analyst Darkfost reported that Bitcoin's apparent demand has fallen to its lowest level since 2026, with a 30-day sum nearing -147,000 BTC, the last time a similar extreme value occurred being in December 2025.


Darkfost noted that this data indicates that spot demand for Bitcoin continues to gradually contract, making it hard to imagine a rebound driven solely by the futures market being sustainable.


Apparent demand is calculated by subtracting the supply that has been inactive for over a year from newly issued BTC.
