Bitcoin ETFs saw $171 million in outflows on Thursday, as holders feared the prospect of another weekend escalation in the US-Israel conflict with Iran.
Analysts believe that Bitcoin is in deep value territory, and withdrawals from cryptocurrency exchanges suggest strong accumulation by investors.
Bitcoin climbed back above $71,000 after the US proposed a 15-point ceasefire plan to Iran, but technical and onchain data show limited upside for BTC.

Bitcoin bulls attempt to establish support at $70,000 but rising concerns over the health of the US economy and inflation could chip away at the key price level.
Charts suggest Bitcoin may remain range-bound, with $74,000 being the toughest resistance to overcome. Will altcoins drop their recent gains or continue to find buyers?
Analysts believe that Bitcoin might witness strong moves, causing another round of forced liquidations.
