Summary

Spot Bitcoin ETF outflows have broken a nine-day streak ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee (the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate-setting panel), while Bitcoin trades near $77,000. The timing matters because Federal Reserve policy meetings often shape risk appetite, liquidity expectations, and short-term price direction across crypto markets. A change in ETF flow direction is closely watched because these products have become a key channel for institutional demand and can influence broader market sentiment.
