Analysts say that matters more for directionality than short-term price action. Glassnode noted that the outflow cycle marks a clear break from the steady accumulation regime that underpinned BTC\u2019s climb into October, describing the current trend as a cooling in fresh capital allocation rather than a structural exit.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin remains down about 27% from its all-time high set in early October, and IBIT\u2019s flow data is increasingly viewed as a proxy for broader U.S. demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-module-name=\"promotional-article\" data-module-version=\"1.0.0\" data-module-instance=\"default\">\n<p>More For You<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Protocol Research: GoPlus Security<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<figure><img alt=\"GP Basic Image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\"  src=\"http:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.sanity.io%2Fimages%2Fs3y3vcno%2Fproduction%2F84a8eb9a12b91c3b7656ac7b18dcf5f1e79f21e2-3840x2160.png%3Fauto%3Dformat&#038;w=3840&#038;q=75\"><\/figure>\n<div>\n<p>What to know: <\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>As of October 2025, GoPlus has generated $4.7M in total revenue across its product lines.
