The net aggregate demand for Bitcoin just printed its most bearish signal in years. Total demand fell to -501,000 BTC—an outright contraction that, according to the on-chain update from CryptoQuant, marks the deepest demand erosion of the current cycle. The figure is not just negative; it signals that sell-side pressure is structurally overwhelming new inflows across spot, futures, and ETF channels. The accompanying analysis framed this not as a pause but as a deliberate rotation. Liquidity that once found its way into Bitcoin is getting rerouted toward equity markets—specifically tech and AI-driven plays—as well as into forex trades and precious metals like gold.
