Bitcoin has slipped below $90,000 on Monday morning as investors dial back risk ahead of key macro events this week, including jobs and inflation data.

Bitcoin ETFs saw $49.2 million in net inflows on Friday, while Ethereum ETFs reported $19.4 million in net outflows.

Bitcoin Facing Crucial Resistance

Crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe noted that Bitcoin swept Sunday’s lows, rebounded quickly, closed the CME gap, and is now consolidating at a critical resistance near $90,000.
