OKEx Sees Massive Bitcoin Outflows as BTC Weakness Mounts
Bitcoin’s price has been flashing signs of immense weakness throughout the past few days, with the recent $19,500 rejections sending it reeling lower as analysts watch for further downside. The rejection just below its all-time highs was certainly what sparked the ongoing correction, but some other factors are at play here.

Negative Bitcoin headlines affect speculators, not HODLers says Morgan Creek CEO
The motivation and time horizon for entering Bitcoin (BTC) will ultimately dictate whether investors succeed in this new asset class, according to crypto pioneer Mark Yusko. On Friday, the CEO of Morgan Creek Capital Management commented on the recent wave of negative headlines concerning Bitcoin. In a series of tweets, Yusko said financial institutions are justifiably concerned about Bitcoin’s disruptive impact and will use whatever means they have to slow its adoption.
