Last week, institutional investors withdrew $97 million from crypto funds last week, according to a CoinShares report. Notably, the outflow has been taking place for the second week in a row.

Famous trader Peter Brandt predicted the return of BTC to a bullish trend no earlier than 2024. To justify his forecast, the analyst said that traditionally, it took about 33 months after the end of the previous rally to start a new one.
BTC has reached its historical high in November 2021. Thus, the next rally is likely to occur in May 2024. Investors took notice of Brandt's forecast because earlier he had already given an accurate outlook on the price of bitcoin in mid-2021.
At the same time, at the end of March, many analysts stated that traditionally, April is considered one of the best periods of the year for virtual assets. Over the past 11 years, BTC has increased 8 times this month and dropped only three times.
