US spot bitcoin funds ended the week the way they spent most of it, with money leaving. Net outflows were $411.9 million on Friday, according to Farside Investors data cited by crypto.news; TokenPost, citing SoSoValue, put the figure at $411.92 million. BlackRock's IBIT lost $403 million, Bitwise's BITB $20.5 million, Ark's ARKB $20.1 million and Grayscale's GBTC $11.1 million, while Fidelity's FBTC gained $42.8 million.
Thursday's outflow was $430.2 million, so the last two sessions cost the funds $842.1 million, crypto.news reported. For the five sessions from November 2 to 6, outflows were about $1.28 billion, with Wednesday the only positive day.
Bitcoin held steady in the meantime. It traded near $76,070 on Saturday morning, crypto.news said, after a Friday low of about $74,700, according to Coinbase data cited by CryptoTicker. CoinDesk reported that October payrolls rose by 165,000 against an estimate of 65,000, and that odds of a December Fed rate hike rose to about 77%. Analyst Max Crypto named the 50-week moving average, near $75,562, as the level to watch. Next week's CPI and PPI reports are seen as more important for the Fed's decision, CoinDesk said.
