Bitcoin turned from net outflow to net inflow in a single day, but there was still outflow over the past seven days. Before the US Clarity Act vote, a giant whale opened a BTC short position of 54 million US dollars, with the market focusing on the range of 75,000 to 83,000 US dollars.

Bitcoin spot ETF resumed daily net inflows on September 15, but the weekly capital situation has not yet strengthened. At the same time, before the US Clarity Act vote, there was a $54 million short position in Bitcoin in the market. Coupled with the expectation that mining companies will shift to AI, short-term sentiment remains cautious.

ETF There is a single-day inflow, but still an outflow on a weekly basis.

Data shows that Bitcoin ETF had a net inflow of 1,917 BTC on that day, which is approximately 147.42 million US dollars. However, over a period of nearly seven days, there was still a net outflow of 4,372 BTC, amounting to about 336.16 million US dollars. This indicates that the recent improvement in buying momentum has not yet reversed the overall trend of outflows.

In contrast, Ethereum ETF has shown stronger financial performance. Its daily net inflow was approximately 95.44 million US dollars, and the net inflow over the past seven days was about 221.91 million US dollars, indicating a stronger momentum than Bitcoin.

A 54 million USD short position appeared before the vote.

Reports indicate that a whale with a historical win rate of about 77% and cumulative profits exceeding one million US dollars established a 54 million US dollar short position in Bitcoin just hours before the bill voting. Due to the sensitive timing, this transaction quickly became the focus of market attention.

The article also mentions that there are recent signs of increased selling by institutions. At this stage, it is still difficult to determine whether this capital is being used to reduce risks before the vote or to make advance arrangements in case the voting results do not meet expectations.

Mining companies shift to gaming with AI and key price levels

In addition to the funding situation, changes in the mining sector are also affecting market expectations. Reports mention that at least 35 EH /s of computing power are planned to withdraw from the listed mining companies' system. IREN is said to plan to withdraw by the end of this year, and Cipher may also follow suit by the end of 2027.

This does not mean that the Bitcoin network will immediately face pressure, but it reflects that some mining companies are shifting their resources towards AI related businesses, indicating that the direction of industry capital expenditure is changing.

From the perspective of short-term price structure, there is a concentrated selling volume in the range of $80,000 to $83,000, while there is a more significant buying volume in the range of $75,000 to $76,500. If the price breaks through $83,000, the market may consider this level as a confirmation of a temporary bottom; if it falls below $75,000, downward pressure could further increase.

Eurozone industrial production fell 0.1% month-on-month in July: Total volume nearly stagnant, while durable goods show a clear weakening
Eurostat released its first estimate on September 16: In July 2026, quarter-on-quarter industrial production in the eurozone declined by 0.1%, and in the EU by 0.3%. Both regions saw a decrease of 0.1% in June. Compared to a year ago, industrial production in the eurozone remained unchanged, while in the EU it grew by 0.3%. The overall change is minimal, appearing almost like a flat line, but there are clear differences among industries: production of energy, capital goods, and intermediate goods increased quarter-on-quarter, whereas the production of durable consumer goods saw a significant decline. European industry has not experienced a widespread downturn, nor has there been a strong expansion.

UK inflation rose to 3.1% in August: Oil prices drive up overall inflation, while core indicators have not accelerated accordingly for now
The Office for National Statistics of the UK announced on September 16 that in August 2026, the Consumer Price Index CPI rose by 3.1% year-on-year, higher than 2.9% in July; the index including the cost of own housing CPIH rose by 3.3% year-on-year, also higher than the previous month's 3.1%. Both indices increased by 0.5% month-on-month, compared to a month-on-month increase of 0.3% in August 2025. The main factor driving annual inflation upwards was transportation, particularly car fuel costs. At the same time, the core CPI remained at 2.6% year-on-year, and the core CPIH also stayed at 2.9%; there was no acceleration in the rise in service prices either. The overall index has rebounded significantly, but the pressure is mainly concentrated on goods and energy.
