BTC price outlook

BTC price has shown a strong correlation with net Bitcoin ETF flows, which explains its notable depreciation in 2026. With notable cash outflows in Q2 so far, the flagship coin has dropped to its lowest year-to-date (YTD) level of about $58,190 on Thursday, currently trading at $60,020.

In the near future, the BTC price outlook could be determined by ETF flows and the performance of AI stocks. Furthermore, Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock’s head of digital assets, recently admitted that AI stocks have been sucking the oxygen out of non-AI core assets, as Finbold reported.
